Customer Reviews

A modern rendition of traditional Shaker style furniture.

It is unusual for me to find a furniture design book where I like one of the designs offered. Out of the 30 designs offered in this book, I can easily see myself building 12 of them. While not exact reproductions of any work, they are modern tasteful designs true to Shaker functional simplicity. Clearly the best of any Shaker book I've seen.
