Urban Beaver

We have the final table delivered now and it’s an absolute work of art. A beautiful piece of timber crafted exquisitely that is a joy to sit at and use. Thanks for delivering something special that makes our dining room special.

In looking for a unique bench for our dining room table, commercial options weren’t exciting me and my partner. We decided to look into custom options and found Urban Beaver. We provided Art with some pictures of our space and other furniture and went to his studio to speak about options and cost. Art was incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about his work. He provided several hand-​sketched options for us and showed us some examples of his craftsmanship at the studio. We ended up with a beautiful, unique piece that exactly suited our needs, fitting in size and style to our space, unlike any commercial piece could have. The process was so easy too. What really surprised us was that the cost was comparable or less than the commercial pieces we were considering. We would recommend Urban Beaver and work with Art again.

Art took the time to listen to our requirements a few months ago and contacted us when a top fitting it came up. It was perfect.
He then went above and beyond designing a custom stand based on nothing but pics on an iPad, but putting his own spin on it (built from steel instead of wood in pics). Art did the designs and provided a quote with no deposit… Blown away with his professionalism.
End result was even better than expected (and we had high hopes).
Colour, finish, experience, craftsmanship and price were all fantastic. Look forward to ordering my desk from Art shortly too :)

Great craftsmanship and excellent service. Art made a beautiful dining room table for us on time and on budget. We were unsure of which legs would work best with the table so Art and his coworker came by and refit the table with a couple of choices in our home. BTW if you are looking a Restoration Hardware or little boutiques in San Francisco, you will find Urban’s Beaver’s prices to be at least half to one third of what many other places are asking. Plus locally built by local artisans — Win — Win.

Art built me a desk which came out looking great. I have a couple of reclaimed wood pieces that came from furniture builders outside of the Bay Area but for my desk, I wanted to go with someone local. Art’s work was as good as anything I’ve seen of this type and was ready in half the time I expected and he even delivered it for free. I’d definitely recommend starting with him if you’re looking for custom-​built reclaimed wood furniture.

Art did an awesome job throughout the project, which was a live edge console table. He was responsive, clear, detailed at every stage, and really helpful. He delivered an awesome finished product for a really good price (well below what others quoted). Highly recommended — we’ll look to him for future projects.

Art build a bench for my entry way which was exactly what I wanted. His prices are reasonable and he was easy to get a hold of to discuss design elements and plans.
I highly recommend him.

We recently did a kitchen/​bath remodel in our house that expanded in scope to include redecorating our dining room (amongst other things). Since then, we’ve been replacing our old furniture pieces to bring them up to par with the new look.
When we were looking around for a new dining table, we went to the usual suspects — Room&Board, Restoration Hardware, etc. Nothing really clicked. We have a San Francisco, craftsman-​style house with lots of exposed wood.
We came across the Urban Beaver site, gave Art a call, kicked around some ideas for a live-​edge dining table made from reclaimed local wood, and quickly gave the go-​ahead for the project.
Art was very helpful with showing us the raw slab, sharing progress updates, and asking for feedback on design details. Within a few weeks we were taking delivery of our new table. We are very happy with it. It looks spectacular and is highly functional.
I would highly recommend Urban Beaver for a custom project of this nature.

Me and my husband recently moved to a new apartment in San Francisco and we were in need for a compact dining table. We spend a lot of time looking for something interesting and special. The problem was that everything we’ve seen either wouldn’t fit in our dining area the way we want it or wouldn’t anticipate an antique looking oak floor. Finally, one of our good friends suggested to look for a custom made furniture of reclaimed wood and that’s how we found Urban Beaver in San Francisco. After seeing the displayed items at the studio me and my husband felt in love with it! Beautiful furniture! We worked with Art and he was very knowledgeable and had a lot of passion for his job, he also designed it for us and made sure that the table was a perfect addition to our new home. The whole experience with Urban Beaver was pleasant and completely satisfying. Art, thank you so much!

I got tired of fabric/​generic furniture and instead I realized that reclaimed table is a solution.
Went online and found these guys from Urban Beaver. Called them and made an appointment. Art, the guy, was very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. He showed me the reclaimed table they made recently. It that a rustic look and eco-​friendly.
But what attracted me the most is that reclaimed wood used from this table came from old furniture which could be easily 100 years old.
Quick delivery, easy on my pocket, quality service. I love my new old table. It looks great!
