We were quoted 1 week and it took 3 months. > > The subsequent commitment to make up for the botched delivery of the new railing was never delivered. > > There was a lack of communication on any hold ups. On the occasions we were told a day / time for delivery, those were also missed without subsequent notification. We had to reach out to R&F to find the new status or even whether someone was showing up that day. > > It was incredibly frustrating, dangerous and unprofessional. Would not recommend. **★★★★★ — HU-624199816, March 2020** > Rod and Forge built us a beautiful steel table and island base for our kitchen. Highest quality and professional service.
