Vaneri Studio

I could not have been more pleased with our 7 1\2” cherry table. Todd was very professional, approachable, patient, helpful making decisions, and always double checking so nothing was overlooked and there were no surprises. He used only the top quality products and made actual stain samples for me instead of just handing me a color brochure. I was always actively involved and Todd answered all my emails immediately. I hope I can find another piece that I need to made. You will not be disappointed.

Vaneri just completed installation of beautiful custom cabinets in my new kitchen. The cabinets are impeccably made and Todd adhered precisely to his original commitments for installation and completion dates. Todd collaborated with my contractor and the other subcontractors to choreograph installation in several stages. Todd also worked closely with me in planning and designing the cabinets and in selecting hardware from hundreds of available styles. The finished cabinets have the heft and precision of high-quality wood and custom carpentry. Highly recommended!

It was a pleasure to work with Vaneri Studio. We worked with Todd and our contractor to figure out the layout and design of both kitchen and baths. He was very helpful through the whole process. We worked with Todd on prior small projects and when we started our kitchen remodel we knew we wanted to work with him. We have great respect for his aesthetic and craftsmanship.

We called on Todd LeBack to create the kitchen, pantry, and guest bathroom cabinetry of our mid-century modern house, working along our architect and contractor and adapting to the inevitable surprises of renovating an old home. The goal was to update the lay-out while gaining space with custom built-ins. An added complexity was our request to reuse the materials from the original wormy chestnut cabinets in the house. The resulting European-style cabinets not only delivered on overall functionality and durability with top-notch craftsmanship, but the wormy chestnut veneer (echoing original paneling also in other parts of the house) allowed them to blend in seamlessly with the architecture. We could not recommend Todd LeBack higher for any cabinetry job of great complexity.

Todd (and Mitch, Jake, and the rest of his crew) are wonderful. Todd is a thoughtful, knowledgeable, talented craftsman. He did all of our kitchen cabinets, vanities for 3 baths, and our closet organization, and all are beautiful and function well. He is a perfectionist in exactly the way that you want in a cabinetmaker. We would work with him again in a heartbeat.

Todd is a genius. His unique combinations of strong geometric forms and juxtapositions of the natural colors of the woods he works with are unexpected and elegant. His aesthetic and his style are very much his own vernacular, and his clean designs travel the finest line between being understated and extraordinary.

Excellent craftsmanship, takes pride in his work, great price for the highly coveted inset cabinetry, offers custom cabinet colors as well.

Todd Leback’s level of craftsmanship is as rare as some of the types of wood he’s surely used. Leback (and his team) is both practical and ingenious, and he’s clearly mastered time management. Of course, he’s exacting (thinking in micro-measurements comes naturally) and brings an attention to beauty, finish, and each detail, making work that is much more than a cut above. Kind and courteous, he is also neat, which is not a given in his line of work. And he’s quiet—a plus if he’s in your house (while you’re there) bringing to life an exquisite custom hutch or credenza. We bought a house built in 1913 that, it coincidentally turns out, Leback had worked on ten years ago (in 2006). It’s a privilege to enjoy (and admire) the many cabinetry areas—before and after we called this house home—that are the fruit of Todd Leback’s excellence.

We just finished a kitchen renovation project with Todd Leback from Vaneri Studios. His calm professionalism, attention to detail, reliable communication, and all-around affable demeanor made the whole process painless and straight forward. Todd understands that a new kitchen is a collaboration and easily incorporated our ideas, plus those of our designer and contractor, to create beautiful cabinets that fit our space perfectly. I highly recommend Vaneri Studios to anyone thinking about custom cabinetry.

Todd is meticulous and thorough, and he communicates clearly as a cabinetry project evolves from ideas through installation. His flexibility and knowledge of wood species, finishes, and the intricacy of how the pieces are put together allow both the owner and designer to get the look and function they want. Whether re-working existing cabinetry, building new cabinets to match existing ones, or providing an all new installation, Todd guides the owner and designer through a decision-making process that results in maximum value and a beautiful product.

We not only LOVE the beautiful cabinets Todd Leback and Vaneri Studio made for our kitchen, we also loved working with Todd in every aspect of the process. First and foremost, Todd is a fine craftsman. His work is beautiful in every detail. Todd has an eye for design and was very helpful in making some important decisions about various aspects of the cabinet size, drawer size, placement and more. Because Todd works in stages and listens carefully to the client he is able to see what is needed and make changes as the kitchen develops. He made two beautiful cabinets that were different from our original design and they exactly what was needed in the space. We were working in a tight time-frame and Todd met every deadline he promised. Todd is clear, kind and thoughtful throughout the process. He works closely with all the other contractors. He checks and double checks. We were confident in him and trusted in his work at every step. And in addition to everything else, Todd also stayed within our budget. Todd's work is beautiful!

Collaborated with Todd on custom cabinetry for a new home. He has a rare combination of strengths : A keen eye and sense of design, proportion and material; impeccable quality of construction and detail; respect for schedule and budget, and a true collaborative working method - he listens to and works with homeowners, designers and builders. His background in boat building shows up in his design and detailing, nothing wasted or overlooked, plus built to last. I look forward to more projects with Todd - highly recommended.
