Customer Reviews

Customer Review (Howard & Joan H., Lakewood, CO) - 

"The most important reason to work with ZCD was that I saw the before and after pictures of the restoration job you did on that antique bench. I have seen period furniture and you restored it to an original new condition. That combined with the quality I saw in your new furniture ventures convinced me that you were a great craftsman and you also had the discipline to keep antiques as antiques and restore them to their former beauty and not try to modernize them."

"What Joan and I and our kids saw was a much loved family heirloom which was given to you (ZCD) in a beat up and broken condition restored to its former beauty and usefulness as we remembered it. You even used square nails which Joan loved. Your restoration will provide our family with many more years and perhaps generations of enjoyment of the marble top chest/cabinet."

"You are a great craftsman who is both creative for new designs and yet has the self-discipline to channel that creativity into carefully restoring antiques to their original glory. So if you have a project new or old, Chris can handle it."

Customer Review (Gary & Linda M., Longmont, CO) - 

"ZCD was referred from our daughter in-law.  Chris did a good design for our custom table at a reasonable price."

"A very well built and attractive dining table, and it will last for many years."

"We highly recommend Chris.  His work is first rate and you get a one of a kind piece that meets your specification, instead of a store-bought compromise."
