Durham Bookcases & Other Cool Wood Stuff

First I must say I love no frills places and 2nd, I really dig staining wood. If you enjoy diy projects and are looking for something solid to work off of, this is the store front for your wood furniture needs. They make other things custom, but for the unique crafter or hip DIYer, this is place is a good resource. And they speak Spanish, so thats an added plus.

Ive bought many things from here and have had them make me multiple custom cabinets. The work is excellent and I assure you, I will be buying from them again.

Worked here less than 2 days. Entire place is full of mold and the "craftsmen" are just husband and wife immigrant couples that are extremely underpaid and taken advantage of. The entire warehouse/shop is full of black mold the roof leaks everywhere, there is 1 small exhaust fan in the paintbooth (using that word very loosely) that barely pulls any air and has no filters so plenty of pollution happening. I was handed a dust mask to spray stain and paint... The entire place stays full of dust and mold smell. I can assure you the people who have been there a long time have and will have terrible health issues! And on top of all of that I was never paid for my time worked.pics are of the paintbooth, and rot in the ceiling as well as the mold in the break room beside the refrigerator.

Paid for custom bookshelves that were to be completed in 10 weeks. The guy who I spoke with seems to fully understand what I wanted. After 18 weeks, I received bookshelves of hideously poor workmanship. UPDATE: finally installing the cabinet pulls and finding more flaws. The doors are not the same size, warped, not plumb and the soft close hinges push them in past the frame. The more I look, the worse the workmanship is. OLD PART: 4 of the doors were clearly cut too short and corrected with adding an extra piece. The stain is completely uneven. There are edges that were cut with a dull saw and the edges are torn vs. cleanly cut. Sadly, I left them wrapped up 2 months and was disappointed when I finally saw what I had paid for. By this time, I needed the shelves so I sucked it up and kept them. And now whenever I look at them, I dont see the bookshelves that Id always dreamed of, I see the poor quality that cost me too much. :-(

I loved the place. They have many options of ready-made furniture or by design. They can be bought painted or unpainted, which I think is great in case customers, like me, want an unusual color or a different finish than usual. Very good option. Adrian's attention was wonderful. Thanks Adrian.
