I had a last minute urgent need for a trophy for an awards event, and Freddie couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. Great service from start to finish and excellent product quality.

Gorgeous whiskey board
Gorgeous whiskey board. Personalisation on the wood not too ostentatious. Bought with the whiskey glasses and they fit perfectly.

A company of the future
I recently made a purchase from Oak and Black and was impressed with the time and care afforded to me and to the quality of the product received.
As a consequence of this I will be making a further purchase for friends.
Much can be learned from the Oak and Black experience

Stunning work - custom bike mount
I don’t even have words for how impressed I am with oak and black. I contacted Freddie with a general idea and he brought it to life. After struggling to find space for my bike in my flat, I was unimpressed with mounting options available. I discussed a rough idea of what I was thinking, and I now have a custom oak bike mount - complete with personal touches.
Freddie was easy to work with, and made me a truly stunning product.

Custom Dog Bed
I reached out to Oak & Black to custom build our dog a bed. Freddie and his team have gone over and above anything I expected. The service is second to none and the personal touches to the bed have added a lovely touch to it. I would highly recommend getting a product from Oak & Black.
