I was referred to Dorian by a mutual friend when I needed some custom shelving.  I was so pleased with the work that I immediately ordered additional pieces.  I later ordered a large bookcase and then another larger piece.  To say the pieces look good is an understatement.  I have received many compliments on the pieces as well as questions about the carpenter who crafted them.  They are solid, quality pieces of furniture.  Dorian's skill and attention to detail is clearly evident in his work.  The joinery is impressive revealing no perceptible seams or nail holes.  It is as if he somehow carved the pieces out of one large piece of wood.  I will be ordering additional pieces from Dorian and I unequivocally recommend him for any woodworking needs.

Working with Dorian has been an absolute pleasure.  He has the uncommon mixture of being an excellent communicator, as well as a top-notch maker.  Dorian has built a series of bookcases for my business and a beautiful mid-century inspired credenza for our home, and a matching walnut bookcase to go above it.  Somehow, he was able to take my scattered inspiration pictures and ideas, and craft something truly better than we could have hoped for.  His attention to detail is second to none.  He stuck to the budget and timeline as well.  I highly recommend Dorian Small for any projects you might have at your home or business.

We have hired Dorian several times for both large and small projects.  He is a patient man who is willing to let us ramble on about what we're envisioning, he takes it all in and promptly gets back to us with his design ideas, a timeline and an estimate.  The king-sized bed he built for us has a large drawer at the foot that glides easily and two side compartments for laundry baskets.  The deck he built for our cafe has a continuous bench that surrounds the perimeter.  We have always been super pleased with his service and will definitely hire him again and again in the future.
