Customer service is great. Joe was helpful and able to find me exactly what I needed. If people complained about delivery times, the clearly don't understand the work the goes into refurbished pieces. They point the time in to get them right. Highly suggest.

I've had the pleasure of working with the wonderful people at M. Fine for a decade. They've been rockstars helping with all of my bizarre and complicated requests as a bar/restaurant designer in Brooklyn. I cannot recommend them enough.

Asked for straight, planed and sized pieces of wood for built structures and they ship the pieces in pictures. Went at the shop asking my Money back and they didn't give my money back! Such a shame, worst experience of my life! Order of 40 pcs paid $700!

Amazing assortment of reclaimed wood and timber. Their prices are very reasonable compared to all others in our area. They even build furniture with their materials. Go take a look you won't be dissatisfied.

Went in one day to search for reclaimed lumber for our floating shelves and mantle - there is a huge variety of wood there that is actually too overwhelming (a good thing meaning there's so much to pick from). Customer service from Joe and the guys in the back who handle sanding the wood, etc, were great! They were attentive to what we wanted and helped us search for the perfect one. We placed and order and they said it would be ready within 2 weeks of pick up! (They weren't complicated orders at all) BUT Their customer service on the follow-up end is atrocious. I've been calling the last three days and every time I get in contact with someone, I've given them the contact name, phone number, and order number and was told that I would receive a phone call with the status info "within the next 30 minutes". It's already two weeks late and I haven't heard anything from them!
