Client Testimonials
Craig Collins Furniture

“He can listen to a client’s ideas and express them with elegance and simplicity. There’s a harmony in his design…We like things simple, without too much ornamentation, but we like them to be interesting. Craig is wonderful with visible joinery.”

Michael Carboy, Pacific Heights, San Francisco (entry table, chests, bookcases, storage boxes) 1

“At my request, he signed the underside of our dining table, because I consider it a work of art…He has made pieces that match our personalities and our environment…(the dining room table is) really gorgeous. A well-known furniture designer saw our office and flipped out. His work is just spectacular.”

Victoria Grasso, Tiburon (dining room table, sideboard, bedroom set, occasional tables, copper-topped desk, storage pieces) 1

“The finished table was way beyond what I had expected. It’s fantastic—the first thing people notice in the house.”

Paul Corning, San Francisco (2)

“We both keep walking in the room and circling the table, admiring it from all angles. It’s as if we can’t believe it - it’s been in our heads for so long – and Craig has made it come to life perfectly. Craig is a master craftsman and a pleasure to work with. He has created a dining set that will be the center piece of our family home for generations.”

Nicole & Peter Billington, Marin County (Dining table, eight chairs, Inglenook benches, media center, bathroom mirrors, and wash stand) 3
