I am a traditional cabinetmaker who produces the exception to the rule. Clients appreciate that within minutes of our meeting, I am able to produce with pencil and paper a confident image of what they want, and by the end of the meeting I have a working concept. The client feels part of the design process and this makes each piece special for them and me! I employ tradition to create a practical, functional focal point for your room,

27/10/2020 at 10:45 pmWas looking for a bookcase for quite some time before coming across Howard. I can certainly say I was not disappointed. I felt involved in the design process from start to finish, given a personal insight into the making of the piece. The craftsmanship of the finished article is superb and I am extremely pleased with how it turned out. Not only is it made specifically to compliment the living room surroundings, but its authenticity is one I believe cannot be matched. Would highly recommend.

24/11/2018 at 9:48 amHoward Butler is an absolute craftsman. From start to finish what shines through is his complete and suprime dedication,pride and desire to create the perfect piece to fit your requirements.
Throughout the design process which included initial and final designs the service and advice was excellent.
The fitting was again what you would expect from a mastercraftsman and to an outstanding quality.
Upon looking at our bookcases, the finish and supreme quality of the piece is evident. All details small and large were discussed and consulted upon during the design process and are exactly incorporated into the final piece.
We are extremely proud and very pleased with our bespoke bookcase and would not hesitate to recommend Howard Butler to our friends and family. Indeed we would never hesitate to use his services again for future projects.

I had in mind how I wanted the new piece of furniture to function, and an inkling of how it should look.
Howard took this on board and with his innate ability to create on the spot, he produced a drawing of a long low storage unit that would fulfil all I wanted it to, but looking so much better than I could imagine.
A short time later he delivered and installed a fully functioning, aesthetically pleasing, individual piece of furniture. I am thrilled to have such a fabulous and good looking piece in my room, that I have already commission a second item.

It is in this exceeding of the clients expectations , and through the collaborative design process , that the finished article takes on a
significance and value to its owner that well surpasses any cost it may have had.
In short , commissioning work from Howard Butler , is a pleasure.
