I thoroughly recommend Joey

A true craftsman of his trade
“Joey came highly recommended to us and I have since recommended him countless times. Whether you’re after something a little bit different or a true work of craft, Joey‘s talent for working with wood is endless and something in this day and age to be treasured. He is a true craftsman of his trade. From concept through to design and completion Joey has completed numerous items for us that continue to impress our friends and family, I can not recommend him highly enough!”

Great design options to choose from
“We came to him with a brief on what we wanted from our living room entertainment unit and bookshelf and he came up with some great design options for us to choose from. He’s good. Everything happens when he said it would and the installation is quick and efficient.”

Give him an idea, he’ll find a way
“We had Joey design and build our custom entertainment unit and kitchen joinery. We also had Joey design us a dining table from some kauri floor joists my wife and I had salvaged from the flat we first met in. It was being demolished so we thought it fitting to have a custom piece. Just give him an idea and he’ll find a way to make it happen.”

Absolutely amazing skills
“Joey designed and made our solid walnut kitchen island and a drinks bar originally and ended up doing our entire kitchen and scullery, laundry and an internal barn door in the shou sugi ban or charred wood finish. Absolutely amazing skills. Very clever guy.”

We get loads of compliments
“He did a beautiful vanity for our bathroom and we just love it. I just can’t speak highly enough of him. He drew up bespoke, one-off designs for our choosing and built and installed them precisely. We get loads of compliments about it. Also a huge timber-framed mirror for our bathroom. He’s an incredibly talented guy.”

He did everything, even doors!
“We have a 1920’s workman's cottage that we’ve extended and renovated from a 3bdm single-bathroom home to a two-storey, 6 bdm/ 3 bathroom home. Modern but totally in the old character. It’s been an extensive project we’ve worked with Joey on, but it's totally transformed the place. He did everything, even custom doors between rooms. Magnificent work.”

The result is just magnificent
“I was converting a townhouse bedroom into a study and Joey asked me,'' Do you want this to look like an office or a library?” Well, he won me over with that and the result is just magnificent. He’s wrapped shelving around the room and it's so useful. The attention to detail like the trim and the depth of the shelving is just wonderful.”

“We’re very happy. Joey built us two captains chairs’ with leather cushion seats. Walnut they are. Marvellous chairs. Also made our dining table. He’s certainly perfected his work that's for sure and he’ll build the stuff nobody else is.”

So passionate about his work
“Joey made a lovely bespoke side table for us. Out of American ash timber. His workmanship is just amazing. So nice to see a young guy be so passionate about his work and particular about how he does it. I came to him with a photo and some ideas of what we wanted and the result is impressive.”

A final design which was spot on
“He was recommended to us when we were wanting a family entertainment unit with a desk included as part of. We took our ideas to Joey and he drew up some revisions and came up with a final design that was spot on for space and the purpose. He delivers nothing less than a high-quality product.”

Custom-built birdcage
“We needed a custom-built birdcage for our two lorikeets. We’d drawn up some designs and specifications and Kingpost knocked it all up for us. Excellent job. We hadn’t specified colour but Joey emailed us his suggestion and it turned out to match perfectly the colour of the cabinet it was to sit on top of.”

Wonderful job of our dining table
“We were looking online for a local furniture maker and I'm very pleased I found Joey at Kingpost. He did a wonderful job of our very prescriptive brief for a specific size dining table we had drawn up ourselves. It’s American walnut. Joey is very skilled and meticulous.”
We love everything about it
“He’s impressive. We had him build our kitchen complete with cabinets and an island and a pantry. He’s amazing and gives great service and impeccable work. We love everything about it.”
Fantastic, really easy to deal with
“He’s super cool. Joey built our kitchen and it is awesome. He understood our brief really well and brought some creative flair to the project which is great. Fantastic work, really easy to deal with and fast turnaround."
