The service was 5+

The service was 5+, it could not have been better. They emailed minutes after the order with a confirmation, shortly after followed up with a proof to review and provided suggestions. Not only did they notify me when the item shipped, but they followed up during transit and after to make sure the product was what was expected. It is rare to receive personalized communication at this level.

Great Craftsmanship for a Great Price

I wanted a simple, well-made wooden box to hold some hobby supplies. At first I checked all the large online retailers, but not one had what I was looking for. They were all crazy expensive, over-designed, or impractical sizes. I was fortunate enough to come across Carpenter Core during my search and found the perfect product. The plentiful size options allowed me to find one that suited my needs. The customization options were amazing - being able to select a stain color and hinges was an unexpected nice touch. The price was way more affordable than anything else I could find from other retailers. The shipping was fast, and the seller gave much-appreciated and timely updates at every step in the process. Best of all is that my box was handcrafted right here in the good old US of A, and I am incredibly happy with it. I highly recommend Carpenter Core to anyone looking for dependable and affordable products.

Highly recommend this company!!!!

I was contacted immediately with a proof of the printing to go on my product. There were several options provided to me which made my design much better than I originally ordered. Communication was fast, easy, and extremely helpful! My product came fast and is exactly what I hoped it to be.

5 stars all the way

So responsive and efficient, year after year. Alan makes wine size boxes for us with our branding and he never lets us down. He does everything to make sure we get our wood wine boxes in time, even when I’m behind the ball.

Customer service was very good, but...

Customer service was very good, however, the box itself should have had a closure on it. I ordered the hinges, thinking that would include a closure as well, but it did not. The magnums just fit in the box very, very tightly, so I think the box should be 1/8" longer as well. I had to wrap this as a gift and had to secure the box with 2 rubberbands which wasn't ideal, but I didn't want the recipient to open it and possibly break very expensive bottles of wine.

Thank you for your feedback, and I'm glad to hear you had a good experience with our customer service! We truly value your input as it helps us improve.

I’m sorry to hear the box did not meet your expectations. While hinges are offered as an optional upgrade, they do not currently include a closure mechanism like a clasp or magnets. This isn’t explicitly stated in our description, and we realize clearer wording could help prevent misunderstandings. We’ll look into improving the listing by adding a note about closures or offering them as an option.

Regarding the fit for your magnum bottles, we design our boxes with interior dimensions that fit most large 1.5-liter magnum and champagne bottles, as described in the listing. Since magnum bottles vary in shape and size, we aim to strike a balance between accommodating most bottles and avoiding excess space that can detract from presentation or cause shifting. That is why we clearly state the actual dimensions in the listing, so customers can verify the fit for their specific bottles. However, we’ll take your comments into account as we continually refine our products.

As a token of appreciation for your thoughtful feedback, I’d be happy to discuss a solution or offer to make this right. Please feel free to reach out to us directly.

Thank you again for your insights. We hope to have the chance to serve you again and provide a product that fully meets your expectations!
