I can't recommend Kieran of Pukerua Furniture highly enough. From concept drawings, through planning, to final completion of our project, he could not have been more professional. He is a good listener and communicator and was sensitive to our own visions and requirements. His care and attention to detail was outstanding and he goes the extra mile to ensure his vision is realised to his own exacting standards. He truly is a Master craftsman.

Kieran crafted a beautiful rimu knife rack for us and we couldn’t be happier with the result. He was so professional and collaborative in helping us to design exactly what we wanted. We would definitely work with him again and can highly recommend him and the quality and value of his work.

Highly recommended! Kieran did an absolutely outstanding job on my 1920s magohany dresser which was in desperate need of repair and attention. He is highly skilled and has excellent attention to detail. A real craftsman who knows the trade right down to the final detail. Thank you!
