I thoroughly recommend Joey
“Joey is an excellent craftsman. He designed and made our French Oak super king bed and two children’s king-sized beds with matching bedside tables. He also made a dining bench and linen cupboard for me. Very responsive and efficient. I would thoroughly recommend Joey.”

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.”

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.”
