Testimonials

We ordered two kitchen worktops from the Woodsmiths and are absolutely stoked with the outcome. The worktops are so beautiful and fantastic! We really appreciate the correspondence and effort that The Woodsmiths went to that ensured our worktops were delivered on time at what must have been a really busy time of year. The passion and enthusiasm for their work is outstanding. We are about to embark on a bathroom renovation and are without doubt going to get further Woodsmiths products!

We thought you would like to see these photos of the Mahogany bar top you made for us last year. We are thrilled with it & as you can see the colour is perfect.

Our new Rimu bench top was installed yesterday. I am a descendant of the founder of an old Auckland Timber Company, so I have a special love of timber. The new bench top is better than we ever imagined and my wife & I are absolutely thrilled with it. Thanks for building it with so much care and attention.

We have enjoyed two vanity bench tops, which after 8+years (made in 2003) still look like brand new. The colour and finish remains the same as the day they were installed. Testament to good workmanship and material. Thanks for the quality.

We have just completed a new house through Location Homes. John’s Kitchenmakers installed the kitchen for us. The Woodsmiths benchtop is definitely the most complimented item in our new house. It is beautifully constructed and finished and looks great in our modern kitchen. We chose rimu and it has a lovely glow and looks superb. Thank you so much, I believe that the bench would be a wonderful feature for any new house or kitchen.

We would like to thank you very much for our lovely Rimu breakfast bar. Our new breakfast bar is everything we had hoped for and far exceeded our expectations. From the careful packaging, to the quality workmanship and excellent Hi-Build finish. We are just so pleased with it. Our breakfast bar from The Woodsmiths is definitely the “WOW” factor in our new kitchen and completes the look and feel we were hoping to achieve. Thanks once again for our amazing breakfast bar.

Our beautiful Heart Rimu benchtops were installed last week by Kitchen Studio as part of a full kitchen renovation and we are delighted with the result. The benchtops are admired by everyone who has seen them and we feel they have made our renovation very special. Thank you for the care and cleaning instructions, wax, special cloth, coasters and chopping board, they are all appreciated. We will certainly recommend the benchtops to anybody who asks our opinion.

In September 2004 you made us a pear shaped marcrocarpa table top/bench supplied by Ashurst Villa Joinery. We would like to compliment you on ‘a thing of beauty’ Every person who comes into our kitchen ‘strokes’ the wood and says ‘how beautiful’. We are very happy with your product and with minimal effort it is remaining a beautiful feature.

Jocelyn Ruthedge

We are delighted wtih our beautiful rimu bench top. It’s the first thing people comment on when coming to our home. Not only is it practical to use but perfectly compliments the kitchen design. We wouldn’t hesitate to install this product again if we moved to another house.
