    My girlfriend and I had a blast building our custom table! Rose, who coordinated the session, was friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with. Arjun, the instructor was a great teacher and guide - he showed us woodworking fundamentals and important safety precautions. Most importantly, it was a fun and informative experience which resulted in a beautiful custom side table for our living room. I would highly recommend the staff, the studio, and the class.
