Shelby is one of the most detailed, thoughtful and pleasant individuals to work with! Nailed every detail on the design and build of a custom table for us. Looking forward to working with Shelby again on future products.Service: Custom furniture

We commissioned Forest Dweller to build a custom kitchen table for us. The finished product is absolutely gorgeous! The table top is walnut, and the base is steel curved legs. I can honestly say that I have never seen such a beautiful, high quality piece of furniture like this in my life! We are so very happy with the way the table turned out. It adds a stunning beauty to the dining area. Forest Dweller was very professional to deal with. They were prompt in their communications with us and very fair in their pricing, especially with the high level of quality of their work. The table was shipped so well- very, very carefully wrapped and put into a wood crate…the delivery person said that he has never seen anything packaged so well. Our table will be a source of beauty and enjoyment for decades to come! Thank you, Erin and Shelby- you have created an amazing Company!Service: Table construction & installation

I’ve used Forest Dweller for years now. Every time I need a custom piece, they are my first call. Extremely responsive, communicative and always make sure the details and dimensions are exactly right. Their finishes hold up very well and have lasted for years with normal wear and tear. Whenever a guest visits, they always say “wow where did you get this!?”. Best quality you can buy and always worth the investment. Highly recommend them.Service: Custom furniture

LWB is such a great company to work with! When they first opened in Ferndale, we purchased a dining room table and matching bench from them. It is both beautiful and durable! After a couple years, the wood developed a natural crack along the wood grain. I contacted LWB and they were able to repair it quickly. They are seriously a great group of individuals and I wish them the best in their future endeavors. I will definitely be contacting them again for any wood furniture needs.

Our family found a unique table base and were in need of a table top. We wanted something of sold quality that would be an upgrade from a chain store, but we also needed a unique size to make the most of a smaller dining room. I wasn’t sure what I would find locally, but was more than thrilled to find Long White Beard. They were really easy to work with. They took the time to answer a million questions and walk thru different options with me. I’m a designer myself so details mean EVERYTHING to me. Their showroom inspired me to improve on my original vision and I am thrilled to admire our handsome, drool worthy, table at every meal. I would encourage anyone to take advantage of this local gem in Metro Detroit or from afar.

I cannot recommend Long White Beard more! I found Dan & Shelby on Etsy many moons ago, and ordered a simple TV stand from them. I was so in love with it, that I asked them to build a closet system for me that I drew out. They took my design and made it come to life with beautiful precision. From there, they custom made a vanity for my guest bathroom, a live edge dining room table, live edge shelves for my master bathroom, and a long floating shelf for our bar area. They are not local for me (I'm in CT, they're in MI) but that doesn't stop me from going back time and time again. Each time, they have been quick to respond, helpful with suggestions and kept me abreast of the progress with my pieces. I have loved working with LWB and every time I have an opportunity to bring them back into my home and recommend them to friends, I do.

Dan and Shelby worked closely with us to create a custom shelving unit of walnut and metal, and it is the centerpiece of our living room. Then they created a fireplace mantel of the same wood and it is so gorgeous. Every detail is meticulously crafted. I can't speak highly enough of their craftsmanship and talent.

Absolutely exceptional work! These guys built a table for me and I couldn't be happier. I gave them a basic idea of what I was looking for and they took it from there. I'm so happy with the piece and I will for sure have them do more in the future.

Although the almost $4000 custom table they made is beautiful, it's not what I asked for or told I would be getting. When dealing with, Dan, we discussed book matching 2 or 3 slabs due to the size table I asked for. To my surprise, after paying and getting the table home, there where SEVEN small boards all glued together. I paid a premium price for large slabs of black walnut and was given scrap wood glued together and made to look as if it where larger slabs. When confronted about it, I was told to just enjoy the table for what it is and there would be no compensation in any way. For a less then a hundred dollars worth of metal and no more that a couple hundred in scrap wood, they hustled me out of thousands of dollars. BE VERY AWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE GETTING FOR BEFORE FINAL PAYMENT!

LWB's Bath Caddy shelf made a wonderful gift for my wife! Clean, understated design, beautiful wood choice, smart hardware = elegance in use. Very good size, too -- essentially a lovely just-right table for the tub. Really appreciate LWB's personal investment in quality. Thanks, Shelby & Dan!
