DSM Woodwork & Art LLC

I needed a bookshelf for my child’s nursery, but I was struggling to find one that would fit the dimensions that I wanted AND was of nice quality in a reasobable price range. I saw some of DSM’s work online, so I reached out and described what I was looking for. I also sent pictures of the rest of the nursery. Dan came up with an awesome design; he looked at the rest of the furniture and created a design that tied it all together. His design was better than anything I had envisioned on my own. Six weeks later he delivered a top-quality bookshelf that looks amazing. It is so sturdy and his price was amazing. This piece will last a lifetime and will be used through all phases of my daughter’s life. It is unique and anyone who visits comments on how beautiful it is. We recently commissioned Dan to make another large bookshelf for our new house. Within twenty-four hours he gave us another awesome design and quote! We are looking forward to another piece that will serve our family for years. I would highly recommend him!

I was looking for a king-size storage bed. We'd had a full size storage bed for year and when we upgraded our mattress size I didn't want to lose our underbed storage. I had found several in stores but they were all a poor combination of expensive, flimsy, and cheap looking, particle board or veneers and the storage tended to be very small. When I found several wood working plans online for the perfect storage bed I was excited but couldn't figure out Where I'd be able to build it. I found DSM Woodwork through a website that offers free furniture building plans. I was happy to find out that Dan had previously built the exact bed I was looking at. From the first contact I had with Dan he was available, responsive and clear. His process and pricing were upfront and very well communicated. He even made adjustments to the plans to accommodate deeper storage, and was direct about how those increased materials would alter the price. When we show people around our home, we have gotten several compliments on the bed. I have recommended DSM to others and I think a lot of times people don't realize that having a sturdy piece built might actually be more affordable than they think. DSM is a great shop and I am so glad Dan was willing to delivery and install the bed in my south Chicago home.

DSM woodwork & Art does excellent custom work. I have purchased numerous items from Dan. Always prompt and courteous. I highly recommend them for your home wood furniture and decorating needs.

Dan created a custom growth chart for my daughter. He provided wood samples, drafts of the artwork, fonts, etc. The piece was absolutely beautiful! He even crafted a unique wall attachment for us to safely and easily hang the growth chart.

DSM is flexible and willing to engage in a design process to meet the needs of their customer. Very pleased with the massive wall art that was created.
