Matt created a unique walnut pedestal table for me. All thru the process he kept me updated with his processes and pictures of the walnut trunk that he delivered with the upmost care. I would easily go to Matt for another (which may be soon!).

This was my third purchases from Ingrained Elegance and it is an ABSOLUTELY STUNNING piece of craftsmanship! Everything about it screams attention to the smallest detail. A 200+ year old tree stump (think Revolutionary War-era) has been transformed into a centerpiece in our home. TO ANY PROSPECTIVE BUYERS: You won’t go wrong with any purchase from Matt. He’s become a friend that I’ve never met. How often does that happen these days? Joe Novich Colorado Springs, CO

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! This was the SECOND piece we ordered and are ecstatic at how well it turned out. Matt puts his heart and soul into each piece of his work. The finish is as smooth as silk. If your looking for a “one-of-a-kind” piece of functional artwork, THIS IS THE PLACE to look. Joe Novich Colorado Springs, CO

This piece is exactly what I wanted for this room. Matt gave me a choice of logs to choose from, and was able to finish both ends for us, so we can flip it over as the mood strikes. Highly recommended. Very.

Matt was very quick to accommodate my special order (Sycamore Robe Hooks) which match the Sycamore Towel Ladder he made for me. Excellent workmanship, fair price, prompt delivery…..definitely a five star seller!

We are so happy with our pair of black stumps. They have tons of character and elegance. Matt allowed us to pick from a variety of stumps and then kept us updated as his work on the project progressed. We are using the stumps as side tables for a pair of chairs in our living room. However they are so substantial they can also function as additional seating. They are everything and more than I imagined and Matt was a delight from start to finish. Highly recommend!

This sink pedestal is the centerpiece of our new waterfront home! It turned our boring little powder room in to the “oh wow, what an amazing space” room. Pictures simply cannot adequately depict the beauty of the wood and finish. Working with Matt was tremendously enjoyable as he included me in every step of the process – from stump selection through delivery – and provided photos of the whole journey. Matt is a talented artist and incredibly customer service oriented. I recommend him and his work 100%

We needed a tree in the lobby of our office. Matt not only searched and found the most suitable tree in the forest, he also kept us updated about every step of the process of transforming the tree into the beautiful artwork it is now. The tree is truly stunning and Matt is wonderful to work with. Everybody who comes to our office is amazed about the piece of art Matt has created.

I have to say this table exceeded my expectations! The customer service was very good, he made sure I was getting exactly what I wanted; from the different stumps to choose from to the exact finish. I felt like I was part of the whole process as I would get an update with pictures every week. I’m in love with my new table and would highly recommend IngrainedElegance as it’s impossible to beat the service and quality for the price!

We could not be happier with our table. Matt is a true artist and craftsman. In addition, he provided great customer service by being responsive and attentive to our specific requests for the wood, design, and finish. We recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality, custom wood furniture.

If we could leave 100 stars that wouldn’t be enough. Matt created for us a piece of art work that will long be treasured. The pictures hardly do this justice. He pain staking undertook the task of refinishing, in a process that is many steps, this wood stump into a masterful piece of art work. We wanted one statement piece and we got so much more. Thank you Matt for your Artistry, your hard work, your intuition on what works best and for bringing this master piece to our home and setting it up…it was a pleasure to you meet you and your lovely family. We wish you all the best of luck as you continue your amazing journey with Nature. We highly recommended you without hesitation. Thank you again for this magical piece !

I was looking for a ladder for my bathroom and everything I saw on line was either cheap looking or didn’t have the right feel. With just a basic description of what I wanted to EngranedElegance I now have the most perfect sculptural piece. Its so beautiful I don’t want to hang my towels on it!!! Whatever you dream up they can make for you… as long as its made form wood :).

I love these boards. I sent him a drawing of the shapes and sizes and he manufactured them in different finished as requested. He worked with me to create a unique vision. They are elegant, rustic and so unique. I use them daily to replace conventional plates and find them really lovely. He can make anything your heart desires no matter how unconventional! I highly recommend!

Absolutely stunning! The table is even better than in the photo. It arrived perfectly wrapped and even smelled great! A wonderful addition to the living room. Modern but rustic, unique and beautiful. I would highly recommend any product from Mr. kruse. He is a true artist.

This item is even more gorgeous in person. I couldn’t help but hug it when I received it. It was packaged well and arrived in perfect condition, even after sitting in a boat crossing the Pacific. I appreciate the care instructions included in the shipment. Overall, a beautiful piece of work and outstanding customer service. Thank you, Matt!

My experience doing business with Matt has been excellent. He has gone out of his way to be helpful and get my beautiful table to me as quickly as possible. His work is amazing and his concern for his clients is equal to his talent as a tree artist. I highly recommend you fit one of his works of art into your life!

Even more beautiful in person. The table arrived perfectly packed, oiled and on time. I love it so much I am ordering another for my living room and a chair for my bathroom. I highly recommend Matt and Ingrained Elegance for any wood idea you can dream up.

This piece is gorgeous +!! It is better than museum quality. The wood is finished to a satin consistency and is beautiful. It sits proudly in my entry way with the little outcropping branch piece sticking out so that all can see the artistry of the piece. Thank you for your artistic creativity with nature!! Barb
