10 Exceptional craftsmanship, on time and within budget – Quayside Cabinets made our vision a reality!
Posted 17 February
We recently had the pleasure of working with Tom at Quayside Cabinets to build a custom media unit and built in wardrobe for our home. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of fantastic. Not only did he deliver everything on time and within budget, but the craftsmanship is truly exceptional. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the work, and both the media unit and wardrobe are exactly what we envisioned. It's clear that Tom takes great pride in his work, and it shows in the quality of the finished product. We would highly recommend Quayside Cabinets.Verified reviewerJob location: BH2410 Cupboard designed with maximum storage that offered much more than i had expected
Posted 17 February
I had long wished to make better use of the wasted space at the top of my stairs so i could at last have a cupboard to store all my towells, throws and bed linen. I was given Tom contact details and he promptly came to see me and after listening carefully to my wishes designed a cupboard that far exceeded my expectations. This very roomy cupboard is carefully crafted to make maximum use of the space so i am now able to house my regular linen and also that extra ' spare' bedding as well. Tom explained things well, was friendly and i did not feel pressured in any way.Verified reviewerJob location: BH179.75 Building an alcove cabinet

Really pleased with Tom's work and our cabinet. It's just what we wanted and looks very impressive. The only negative was a delay in delivery for Christmas but this was rectified within days after.Verified reviewerJob location: BH1210 To install three double bespoke wardrobes

Tom fitted three double bespoke wardrobes in my bungalow in Sway. I was thrilled with the results. Communication with Gemma was brilliant throughout, and Tom was polite, professional and tidy all through the job, his attention to detail was superb. Thanks so much Tom and Gemma.Verified reviewerJob location: SO4110 Fit bespoke wardrobes with central alcove for TV

We are absolutely delighted with the wardrobes on every front. Tom is an excellent carpenter and Gemma was great at keeping in touch with us all the way through. Especially welcome were Tom's creative and helpful ideas, e.G. Sliding shelves to provide better access for smaller items.Verified reviewerJob location: BH2510 Made to measure cabinet
