We had a great experience with HCD Custom Designs, Inc. for our custom booth display we will use at trade shows and customer training events. This cabinet opens up to fill a 10' trade show booth and ships as a 40" x 40" pallet. Jim Hoffmann and his team did a fabulous job meeting our tight deadline and did beautiful work. Highly recommended for quality workmanship and excellent communication.
