Testimonials

“Hans was recommended to us by a work colleague who was very pleased with his work. After Hans had come round our place and spent over two hours planning what the end product should look like, he went off and came back with the most funky looking pantry in entire Nelson. We were very impressed with Hans' craftmanship, price and his ability to combine our thoughts and his knowledge. Thank you!”

“Hi Hans and Monique,

Thank you for designing and building the cupboard unit for me. You have exceeded all my expectations, not only in the completed product but in the care and friendly customer service you have provided throughout the process and installation of the unit. 

I greatly appreciate the time you have taken to come to my home, look at the environment, and build a funky quality piece that fits the purpose, the space, the surroundings, and my tastes. Your personalised approach and advice is highly valued. I have enjoyed seeing your passion and commitment to your craft that clearly permeated into developing a stunning product.

I will be highly recommended your work to others.

Thank you.”

"Hans made 2 king size single beds for our boys and a kitchen for the studio. We love the quality and the design is unique as it was designed by ourselves! We have had so many compliments. Communication with Hans is great, we showed him our designs and colour schemes and told him what we were prepared to spend. Next was easy, Hans did all the measurements at our place and came with very smart suggestions as well. Thanks Hans.... you will understand there is more on our wish list!”

"We have worked with Hans on 3 different projects over the past 18 months and found his attention to detail, ability to convert our vague ideas into reality coupled with prompt and efficient delivery a pleasure to deal with. Added to this, Hans managed to exceed our expectations in terms of the quality of the finished product. We have no hesitation in recommending Hans' skills and look forward to working with him in the future.”

"Dear Hans, just a short note to say how delighted we are with the DVD cabinet you designed and made for us. It is rare these days to find such craftsmanship and also the care you took in getting it to be just the right colour to match our other furniture was outstanding. Ronnie and I would be happy to act as a referee for your work to future customers."
Kindest regards, David Marsh and Ronnie Martin

“We have had the pleasure of working with Hans and Monique on three occasions. Each was so easy and professional. Hans designed a bunk bed for us, which unfortunately we never went ahead with. Having said that, his design and understanding of our requirements were perfect. At the same time, we required a wardrobe unit to be specifically made for our new master bedroom. We were delighted with the speed and workmanship of the end product and of Hans. The installation was quick and efficient. At the conclusion of this project, we made mention of our older style kitchen doors etc. We had already replaced the bench tops but the doors still looked old and tired. We brain stormed our ideas with Monique and Hans. The end result was a total make-over of the kitchen which exceeded our expectations. The kitchen looks new, crisp and modern. We would be delighted to recommend them. Even if you have ideas totally in concept only in the deep recesses of the brain, they are visionary in their approach and can make your ideas a reality.”

"We wanted to let you know that we are absolutely thrilled with our laundry unit. It is amazing how much of a difference it has made to the laundry. It is beautifully made and we are very happy with it. We would also be very happy to recommend you to anyone who asked."
Many thanks, Meg and Callum Irvine

“...In June 2009 our practice commissioned Hans of Funky Furniture to manufacture a large cupboard/ storage unit with multiple drawers for our treatment area. We asked that this cupboard be built to fit in and match our existing joinery. It was also very important it was practical and impervious to maintain a clean working environment. We received the finished product quicker than expected and it is of a high standard. We would happily recommend Funky Furniture to any person wishing to purchase high quality joinery products.”

“...It was nice to see he took our ideas and designed what we discussed, modified it to suit our needs and quickly came back with the finished prototype to show us. We have found Hans to be very approachable and hard working. He listened to our feedback and delivered what he had promised in a suitable timeframe. We wish Hans all the best with his new furniture venture and if he continues the way he has started, we know he will be very successful.”
