Thank you, deciBel Designs. The stereo cabinet you made for me is absolutely stunning. The entire process, from helping me decide on materials and finish, to fabrication and shipping, was very straightforward. The packaging was excellent. It made the long trip from California to North Carolina with no damage. Using the on-line assembly instructions, I was able to put the cabinet together without any problem. Each piece and pre-drilled hole fit together exactly as it should. It is a welcomed addition to the other furniture in the great room and will be a great place for all the stereo components to call home! Thanks again.

I am very pleased with my Decibel Designs cabinet. I searched furniture stores in person and online to find a replacement for my 1980’s oak entertainment center, which did not accommodated my newer TV and was oversized for my audio components and media. After trying unsuccessfully to recruit a local cabinetmaker to design and build a cabinet for me I renewed my online search. And found Decibel Designs with products designed to fit my needs. Peter was very responsive in answering my questions. He reassured me about the cabinet being shipped from California to Michigan and it did arrive very well packed and in perfect condition. I had my handyman put it together and load my equipment, LPs and binder of CDs. I am very happy and do recommend Decibel Designs.

We visited the shop and selected Maple wood and the Stain color we wanted. Peter showed us how the cabinet is constructed and finished. It arrived several weeks later in two heavy carefully designed shipping boxes. All the pieces were beautifully manufactured and finished. Everything fit together perfectly. No problems with the assembly at all. I worked slowly and patiently and was rewarded with a wonderful cabinet for my audio equipment. We highly recommend decibel Designs.

I ordered a custom cabinet from Peter in October ‘23. At the final stage, Peter decided to use cherry for the lower third of the 100% walnut cabinet I had ordered. I tried to be gracious and try the door in my home, but the cherry was not what I wanted—or what I had ordered and paid for.

Peter then got a bit short and told me that I would need to pay to return the door that had been made wrong. $375 later he had the door. It then took him 4.5 months to return the door to me (made with walnut)—when received I realized that he had used the shipping box that had been used for the prior two shipments.

The door was broken when received. Instead of continuing to try to get what I ordered from Peter I had a friend glue the two slats that had popped out and carefully repair the third slat that had broken clean thru.

The remade door was not sanded or glued properly—but it is what it is. Let my $3k lesson save you the cost.

I recently bought a 72" dvd cabinet as was very happy with it. It was well-protected in the box and quite easy to put together. The finish is very nice. The shelf pegs fit nicely into the holes. All-in-all, I'm very happy with it.

We just received our 50" Stereo Cabinet with Glass Doors and are very pleased with our purchase! Shipping was on time, shipment tracking excellent, the cabinet parts were well packaged with no damage in transit. The cabinet was simple for one person to assemble, and looks great! Looking forward to many years of use.

Peter made a beautiful stereo cabinet for us. Start to finish, it was so easy working with him. His craftsmanship was superb, and we received it exactly when he said we would. I highly recommend!!!

Purchased a media cabinet in black with pull out drawers. Compared to most cabinets it is much better built as you would expect for the price. Customer service was truly excellent. I would purchase from Decibel again.

Now for details. First I was surprised that it showed up in an ikea like box demanding ikea type build. At the price point I expected the case to be one unit. Perhaps I didn’t read the description closely enough. The build was pretty straight forward and the end result is very good indeed. I had to buy some matching stain as a few places were not stained as well as I liked but I’m fussy. Getting the glass doors to align was a chore for sure. I ordered two sliding shelves (glad I did) but was surprised it shipped with three standard shelves as well. In this short cabinet they are useless. The only real gripe I have is the skirt at the bottom surrounding the casters are “taped” on and you cannot do it without a gap at the corners. Took off the tape at the corners and put in a couple wood screws. All is well
