The most fantastic experience in everything Mesquite. I have been shopping there for over twelve years now, and have purchased Mesquite lumber there, to bult my own furniture, as well as some of their finished pieces. My home (southern California mountains) is now adorned with mine - and their - creations. The show room itself is a great gallery, and the owners Art and Valerie, the most magnanimous and knowledgeable people.

Beautiful cuts of wood. Art was great to work with and he was very helpful.

A "tale of two personalities". Perhaps the best......as well as most unfriendly, inhospitable, .......customer service I have encountered. Last week after walking in the store front, I was very politely shown around, helped, and given advice on how to proceed with a shelf making project. I was shown around the lumber yard at the invitation of the lady helping me and we looked at pieces of wood together. I was invited to return with a template of the form I needed so we could match the wood to the project. I was told they would be happy to help me get the correct size and would cut the wood I anticipated buying. I left encouraged and excited. The person who generously helped me with all this was the lady who (I believe but am not certain with her husband) owns this business. I couldn't have asked for a more pleasant experience. This week, after making my template and taking measurements, I returned in the afternoon. There were no other customers and it was 3:30 on a Tuesday. Unfortunately, the kind helpful woman was not present......instead my wife & I found her husband focused on his phone sitting behind the counter. We didn't even know he was there as we looked around, commenting favorably on the displayed pieces, until we got up to the counter and saw him sitting there, not looking up, let alone greeting us. He clearly, had no desire to get up off his chair, let alone help us. I started to explain that I'd been in the week before, gotten advice, had my template etc. He quickly informed us (1) he was too busy to do any work at all for 6 to 8 months and (2) he was too busy for 6 to 8 months to even make 3 to 5 cuts in a smaller 20 x 17 piece of mesquite if I bought it from him to do the work myself given he was busy. He finally hesitantly said only "I'll sell you the wood". Everything about his manner and tone said I don't care at all about service or you. So ....if the lady is behind the counter, then by all means go enjoy this place .....but if Mr. Unfriendly is there, I suggest you turn around and look elsewhere so he doesn't spoil your afternoon. Needless to say, I declined to put him out by buying mesquite there. So many other places have mesquite and a service orientated attitude all the time. For what it's worth, I don't write many "reviews" (maybe 3 or 5 in my life).

Glad we stopped by as the gift shop has some beautiful things BUT in all our travels all over the world, we have never encountered such a grumpy, unpleasant salesperson . Didn't get his name but he had a mustache and was wearing a cowboy hat. Our friend who lives nearby tells us that there is a very accommodating clerk sometimes but this person was rude and obnoxious!

We just purchased a beautiful small table made by Tumacacori Mesquite as an anniversary gift for each other. Art said we could bring it back if it didn't fit in the space we had in mind. It fit beautifully and it is so beautiful. Thanks Art!

The integrity (condition, grade, caliber) of the mesquite lumber is superior. Each piece of furniture made here is a work of art. It is custom; it is dignified. You will be fortunate to own any single item from Tumacacori Mesquite.

As an amateur wood worker, I love going down to this place and checking out what they have. The people are very friendly and for the quality of wood you're getting, the prices are respectable. I enjoy coming down here!

What a wonderful place to look for beautiful Mesquite Wood, gifts, furniture and whatever you can dream up. They will even create custom items and include you in the creation process allowing you if you want to choose your own wood. I met Robert yesterday and he was very informative about the wood and the sawmill itself and just an all around very pleasant person. I will return here again for sure.

Great choice of pre cut mesquite, many different lengths and widths. The owner gave us a tour of his work shop, we picked up a piece for our bench project!

Art is a curator of some of the finest pieces of Mesquite. The custom furniture, crafts, and structural elements he creates are exquisite. We have one of his coffee tables with natural edges and subtle turquoise inlays. It's a work of art. (no pun intended)
