What Our Clients Are Saying
★★★★★
Wow!! If I could leave a 7, 8, and even 10 star review for Joseph’s craftsmanship, mastery, flexibility, artistry, and amazing communications throughout the production of a gorgeous charcuterie board and matching coasters, I certainly would!! I have nothing but outstanding comments and absolute delight at the perfectly finished items that will be a cherished and beautiful centrepiece for entertaining in our home from now on. And these are just a couple of examples of the stunning work products designed and created by Joseph – I simply recommend his work with the highest of praise and admiration; I encourage anyone looking for a unique gift or special item for the home to definitely contact him and experience the magic for yourself.

Joseph did our poolside bar top and far exceeded our expectations. He kept us in the loop throughout the project. It didn’t take long to tell him his ideas were great and just surprise us when it’s done and did he ever. A WOW factor for sure. Can’t wait to see our sink done to match and then off to our next project. His work is not a piece of furniture but a true piece of art. An absolute masterpiece

Absolutely Stunning, Quality Craftsmanship I've purchased several custom pieces from Rough Around the Edges Designs, and every single one has exceeded my expectations. The craftsmanship is outstanding—solid, durable, and built to last—and the designs are truly one-of-a-kind. Whether it’s their stunning epoxy work or the natural character in their wood selections, each piece brings a perfect blend of artistry and function. Their style is timeless with just the right amount of edge. You can tell they take pride in their work—attention to detail, originality, and a commitment to quality are obvious in every product. If you're looking for custom furniture or epoxy pieces that make a real statement, this is the place. I’m always impressed and will keep coming back. Highly recommend! -T.O.

In December of 2023, Joseph made me a lovely River coffee table out of Garry oak. I had recently moved to a new condo, and was looking for a focal piece that embodies my love of the ocean. Joseph certainly delivered! He sent me updates as the table was going through various stages and was very responsive to my questions and suggestions. Pricing was very reasonable for a custom piece and it was delivered on time. Highly recommend this company!

I am a repeat customer, and love the multiple unique creations that are on display throughout my home. They are constant conversation pieces, and are both works of art AND functional pieces of furniture.

We had two custom desks made, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The quality of the desks is amazing — exactly what we envisioned and more. Joey was incredibly responsive and took the time to ensure we knew exactly what we were getting. He walked us through all the different color options, sent us samples, and was in constant communication with step-by-step updates throughout the process. His attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction really stood out. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

This has been the best experience I've ever had buying something custom made. The quality of Joseph's work is incredible and his communication and expertise along the way gave me all the confidence in this table turning out perfect. Absolutely will be going to Rough Around the Edges with any future projects and for now I couldn't be happier with my new functional art piece.
