CJs Custom Wood Creations

I would like the chance to respond to the two negative comments left here. First off Lois Smith- I told you the table would be done in 2-4 weeks just like I tell everyone and on the weekend of the 4th week it was raining and you lived 2 hours away so I said I couldn’t deliver. You then proceeded to come pick the table up and I said sure. It was never brought up that a deliver fee would be reimbursed.
Silver-u don’t state your name?

I been doing this now for 7 years and have had over 3000 orders and 3000 customers 99 percent of those happy and I’m sure of it. No business has 100 percent satisfaction rate and it’s a shame I don’t because I try my best to make sure everyone of my customers is happy. I’m sorry if a delay on getting they’re product has happened causing anyone to be upset but I try my best to deliver a quality product in timelines I state. Thank you to all my customers that I’ve had during the past 7 years; I truly appreciate the business

We ordered a table from Craig and it was made and delivered to us within about 4 weeks. We set it up in our dining area, and after paying extra for a larger than average size, we noticed it looked small. Upon measuring it, we found it was 10 inches short in width. I was blown away. I texted Craig that night and heard nothing back. I've called and left voicemails, but once again, no response. I love to give people the benefit of the doubt, but avoid this guy. Not worth the headache of being ignored. Definitely will be spreading the word about this scammer. Just pay a little more money for a better built table that'll be exactly what you ordered.

I ordered a table from CJ at the beginning of February. I sent him exact pictures and colors of what I was asking, and he promised to fulfill the order no problem. I have messages from him, verbatim, in which he said, once he received our down payment, the order would be completed in 2-4 weeks. I was satisfied with that.
A month goes by and I haven't heard anything from CJ. I try messaging him. No reply. I try calling. No answer. I check his website - and I find that it is no longer in service. When I looked at Facebook, I could see he hadn't been active for over 20 days. Now I was getting worried and angry.
I continued to call, text, and message until FINALLY he responded. It had now been an entire month, and CJ informed me that he had not started our table yet. I asked him what the problem was, and he said he was backed up. He then proceeded to tell me that he makes nearly all of his tables in one day. So he was planning on making my entire table, stain and all, in one day AND he said he would be doing another one at the same time. I asked for clarification and he confirmed, he makes two tables a day, start to finish. When I asked why my table hadn't even been started in the 2-4 week range, I got no response. I also asked him if I was going to be getting a shoddy bit of workmanship if he was throwing it together in one day. He assured me I wouldn't.
When my husband started getting ticked at this delay, CJ agreed to make our table the next day and deliver it that night. I was highly skeptical. He delivered a well built pine table and bench, both 8 feet long. When I examined the table, I noted that corners had been cut in the building process. The legs had been spray painted after the table was assembled, resulting in a messy-looking underside. The wood has a walnut stain, but that is it. There is no water sealer, no epoxy, no nothing on top. Maybe I should have asked about that, but I guess I thought it was common sense for a carpenter to use wood sealer on a table.
I like the table and bench, but I'm going to now have to put in the work to get it up to a decent quality. My husband and I have decided we will not be purchasing anything else from CJ.

I had these doors made by Craig. Not only do they not look like the picture of the ones posted on Craigs site that he “claimed” he made but the wood trim on the front of the doors are two different sizes and dont even line up! I have reached out to him in hopes that I would not have to post a negative review and he would work to correct the problem, but he does not even respond! Now I have to have 2 more doors made correctly by a PROFESSIONAL and pay even more money! Do yourself a favor and just pay a little more the first time for someone who does good quality work!

The THIRD picture showing the full doors are what the doors were supposed to look like. The FOURTH picture is what we got.

It’s been a year long process dealing with this loser. He owed me money and I had to take him to civil court. Look up his record on the AOPC website and research his court cases at the magistrate level. He has pending civil and criminal cases. Stay away unless you like donating money.

He is a thief! It's been 2 months since he was supposed to deliver and now he won't return my calls. Still no furniture and he refuses to give me my money back.
