Open and friendly, professional and masterful. I asked for a dinning/board gaming table, for a table with character, Smith and Gray listened to what i was after and made an amazingly comfortable and beautiful table that exceeded what I'd envisioned. I look forward to the next time I need something made. I love it, its perfect, thank you!

The repair work Smith and Gray did for us on two pieces of old family heirloom furniture was outstanding. They are great to work with and take care with their craftsmanship. I would recommend them to anyone needing high quality furniture.

Our lovely cabinet was installed yesterday and it is magnificent! It looks perfect on the wall and I am looking forward to putting all my treasures into it. Mark has done a brilliant job, the wood is beautiful and satin smooth. We were kept in the loop as to where they were up to and the team were very friendly and easy to talk to. I couldn't recommend them highly enough
