Testimonials
“The table that Andrew designed for us turned into a masterpiece of functional art. The process of creating this table was from start to end an exceptional experience. Andrew has the unique ability to hear, visualize and build based on what we wanted while gently adapting the concept to suit the elements and principles of design!
As well as being a thing of beauty, the care and the craftsmanship that is evident in the table is astounding. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect table for our breakfast nook.”

“Andrew built us a bed for our tenth wedding anniversary. He consulted with us extensively to discuss the design, the materials, and the finishing. The result was wonderful; the quality and care of his workmanship and approach produced an heirloom piece which we know will stay in our family for generations to come. ”

“The entire experience of having Andrew design our table was a fabulous one. This is the first major piece of art we have ever purchased - in addition to being our first piece of custom/high end furniture. Andrew is not only a fine woodworker of the highest order, but a wonderfully warm person. From the very beginning, he worked with us to understand how we used our dining room/how we dine and how we entertain so that he could build us a table that fit our lifestyle, needs, and aesthetic and environmental concerns. He met with us, without ever pressuring us in any way, several times to see the space/our home and talk about sustainable woods sources and approaches. He had extensive, helpful, and lovely photos of design options and was very honest and fair about pricing. We feel only slightly guilty that I have the most magnificent custom dining room table in Waterloo at a price and of a quality that would make anyone in Oakville/Toronto green with envy! The table is simply gorgeous, and has already, in three weeks, survived red wine spills, children's oily/saucy fingers, and hot /wet plates. We only hope that the generations who care for it after us will appreciate its elegant-and eminently functional- design as much as we do. ”
“ Andrew Wainwright is an outstanding artist and craftsman with a deep sensitivity to the beauty and functions of wood. Andrw impressed us by sharing his understanding of the entire process of his craft, from the trees themselves with the infnite variations in grain and tones that he brought out and utilized with an artist's skill to the refined construction. The bed that Andrew designed for us is absolutley stunning and each night stand a signature piece, at one unique and complimentary, exquisite in from and feel and flawless in function. We treasure these pieces. Moreover, it was a pleasure to experience their evolution; to work with and learn from Andrew.”
