Dear Ben,

Our beautiful oak toy box for Emma arrived this afternoon – to say we are pleased with it is an understatement.

On opening up the transit case , which in itself was a piece of engineering, the aroma of oak was delightful, and then  – WOW – the box itself!

Emma’s name carved into the front face, the grains, and colours of the wood – stunning. The dovetail joints of the corners, and then the lid with the elegant slow close hinges.

Your craftsmanship is superb ,and my wife and I are thoroughly delighted with what will become a family heirloom for sure. We are pleased to tell you that we are expecting to become grandparents again, so order No.2 will be on it’s way sometime next year, all being well.

If anybody is considering buying a box from Ben – my advice is to go for it  – you will not be disappointed – in fact you’ll be delighted!

Kind regards  – Katherine and Steve, Canterbury.

Hello Davina and Ben.

Well, my husband and I finally opened the toy boxes on Saturday night – and they are . . . absolutely perfect.

I can’t tell you how happy I am with the way they have turned out – I almost burst into tears, knowing that our children will take these gorgeous boxes and our love through life with them. Ben, I was a little worried about the size of the names on the front, because we didn’t 3D model it first, but you were right you do know what you are doing and the names are bang on the right size. Thank you so much for you time, love, interest and attention to detail that you have put into these incredible toy boxes.

Basically, I am over the moon. Thank you. Michelle
