Great quality product. I ordered custom sizes and there was no issue with Oak Guys preparing the board according to my request.
Communication was smooth, responsive and even though they state certain times for delivery, i had it surprisingly quick.
Overall, great experience.
Thank you.

Ordered a large solid oak table top from Oak Guys. Fantastic communications from Mike, and the oak table top itself is a beautifully crafted piece of work. Over the moon with it. Personally, I would highly recommend the Oak Guys !
