I have a stand from a long time ago and wouldn't hesitate to buy one again (though the costs have gone up the quality is great).

What you allude to is in the past. One look at his site since shows lots more options and work being done.

All the best,

Chris recently built a beautiful 3 shelf, 2" tiger maple rack for me. He also built me another set of posts so I could give my tube amps some more breathing room. Excellent work at a fair price, delivered when he says it will be.
A little bit of a curmudgeon, but so am I.

A few years ago he went through some tough times when his daughter died unexpectedly. I bought some maple platforms from him a long time ago and was very satisfied. He can be a little abrupt over the phone, but in the end you will get what you ask for.

Thanks... I did order a rack from him. He is quite pleasent on the phone and I am hoping that past neg history is just that.. past...

I bought a couple of custom racks from Chris in 3" cherry a few years back, beautifully built, I even sent him the stain I wanted him to use. Thinking of having him build me another smaller 4 shelf one once funds become available .
