Wooden Duck

I had been searching for just the right table in my dining room for ages. I'd checked Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, Room and Board, you name it. Nothing was just quite right. When I came into The Wooden Duck, I won't lie, I immediately got really excited because of all the various options they have to offer. A nice woman named Amy showed me around, explained the process to me, and helped me discover something I fell hopelessly in love with. It was completely worth the wait. Great customer service, fast delivery, good pricing. :) more

Bought a beautiful French lacquered table, paid $70 for delivery and it arrived with an ugly split between two of the tabletop boards. The delivery company blamed WD, and WD blamed the delivery company. WD insisted that I pay $70 to have the delivery company swap out the table for an undamaged one! They in essence blamed me for the split, not their craftsmanship, making me pay for their mistake. A $1k table should survive a delivery, and if not, WD should make it right. They didn't. Exercise caution when working with them and their delivery service. You might just get stuck in the middle with no recourse. Pros: Recycled sourcing and beautiful pieces Cons: Don't stand by their woodwork; questionnable quality; poor service if you discover a defect more

I can't tell you how long I've looked for a cool coffee table with character to replace my Ikea soul-less blob... When I walked into the Wooden Duck it was love at first sight. I wanted everything but managed to escape with just a coffee table and matching side table. The people there are really laid back and helpful. Pros: selection, quality, stock on hand Cons: only one location, no web orders more

These guys sell a ton of tables. I think all the restaurants in the East Bay go to them to make tables. We brought in our chairs (from Pottery Barn) and they matched the color for our table. It took 8 weeks (they quoted 6) but it's solid and we love it! Pros: quality, not a chain, recycled wood Cons: , not cheap, hours only till 6 more

I've driven by The Wooden Duck a thousand times as it's right of the Ashby exit but never really had the desire to go inside until I saw a friend's table at a dinner party. When you do go inside it's a little overwhelming as it's WOOD everywhere. We were going to have a table made but ended up finding one off the floor (they had about 50 in stock) for a cheaper price. We love our table and since we now have ours can now let the secret out! Pros: tons of parking, not crowded, unique stuff Cons: , not bargain basement, delivery isn't free more

They do what they say.... Not a chain with a bunch of clueless workers... You talk to the people and they give you a straight answer. They made a beautiful table for us... Highly recomended! Pros: parking, service, product Cons: , only one location, only open till 6pm more
