Ordered a bespoke size walnut shelf with shark nose profile. The item came exactly as ordered and finished to a extremely high standard. Will definitely be ordering again in the near future.

I’ve installed the desk top... It looks fantastic. I widened the IKEA base unit and it sits perfectly on top.

A lovely piece of wood I’ll enjoy sitting at most days of the week.

Thank you very much.

This site and it's FAQs were invaluable in helping me find a suitable desktop to fit my standing desk frame. The photos on the website were extremely helpful, as was the design wizard which clearly explained all of the options with examples, so that I could make an informed decision. Responses from the team were prompt, with excellent attention to detail....

I have a weirdly shaped garden office (135 degrees angle) and always dreamt about big corner desk for working from home and doing art... I've added IKEA legs and ALEX drawer unit and it's perfect. I'm very grateful as I'm enjoying it every day for the last 4 months. Never thought it's possible to do within my tight budget.

[…] to my exact specification and was millimetre perfect. Everyone was so easy to work with and the final product completely met my expectations (which is not easy)... A great and exacting service from start to finish!

Extraordinary service and responsiveness to customer concerns. I ordered a desktop that had to be very specific in its dimensions, without a single standard number, and they were happy to work with me. Excellent and timely communication. Could not be more pleased!

When looking for a very unique, bespoke desk design there was a limited number of options in the market. Solid Wood Tops have a huge range of customisation options and fantastic articles to help guide you through the whole process of designing your own desk. Once I submitted an order I also found the team incredibly communicative, offering good advice on my design and responding to my enquiries promptly. I would highly recommend their service!

Joe helped me directly over email, with some review of my requirements and suggestions about how I could alter them to create a suitable desk riser for storing a keyboard under. […] The work was done professionally and packed carefully, travelling from across the country I received the worktop in perfect condition with no scuffs, scratches or damage.

The communication has been top-notch, the process of ordering was easy and I was put in touch with a workshop quickly. The ability to plan things out with an estimated cost without going back and forth on email was very handy.

Really pleased to have found Solid Wood Tops, it's a great service for getting custom pieces made using joinery workshops that otherwise you would never find! […] found the right joiner for our requirements and timescales at a competitive price. Communication was great throughout.

Website was very well detailed to suit almost all of my specifications for a... walnut shelf. I was able to add drawings after placing my order.... I found this site after contacting 21 local companies, of which only four have replied.

Very clear, great flexibility, and the order was routed to a partner in less than 24 hours. The website also had a great blog section that helped me figure out what I needed to order - for example, how thick the desk top needed to be given the width I was requesting.

It’s amazing!! 5/5 stars!!
The wood is high quality and completed with a smooth finish. The stand fits my room very well.
The package is packed neatly so it arrived with no damage.

Overall it’s an amazing experience and totally worth the price!

Solid wood tops team were super helpful at answering all my questions and helping me come to a decision on my new desk top. Joe was very patient and friendly and I'll absolutely use their service again in the future.

How good is our work? The honest answer is: “amazing!”, but also that you shouldn’t take our word for it.

Below are some of our favourite reviews from 2020 to now, from Trustpilot, Facebook and the replies customers email us. You can trust every review because they all links to where you they came from. Use the buttons above to filter the reviews.

A note on the quotes: we copy them as the customer wrote them. We never change or add a word. Each review links to the full version or the VerifiedReply mark.

Why reviews matter so much to a shop like ours

Nobody buys a solid oak table on a whim. Our tops are made to order, to your measurements, and so because it is unique to you, you can’t see or touch it before we have made it! We understand that is tricky. That makes other customers’ experience the closest thing we have to a showroom.

Getting those reviews is harder than it sounds, especially because we don’t incentivise reviews. That keeps the numbers lower than they could be, but we think it makes the reviews we get worth more, even the simple ones.

How we collect reviews as of late 2026

We don’t use Trustpilot as much as we used to. So you might notice less reviews over there going forward.

We ask customers to reply to a review request email which then goes to VerifiedReply, a service which keeps the customer’s original email to prove we have quoted the review accurately.

Every one of those reviews carries a small VerifiedReply logo. All of them are listed on our page on VerifiedReply, and they have written up how we use it as a case study.
