"My wife and I had just purchased a home and were looking to buy some furniture. As this was our first home, we didn't have a dining table and wanted to go with a 'rustic/woodsy aesthetic'. Naturally we decided on Live Edge for the style. It only took me a little bit of Facebook Marketplace searching to decide on Marks Live Edge as who we would go with for this project. The pictures he lists and explanations of prices on the page were perfect for us to make a decision.
Things got even better when it came to communication. We contacted Mark on September 22nd, and as I am not very versed in carpentry or terminology - Mark was more than helpful in describing differences, sizing, and leg selection which was extremely helpful. Mark split payment in two - a downpayment of sorts and then a final installment after installation - which was great - that flexibility really helped in our choosing as well. Throughout the build/construction process, Mark gave us weekly updates with pictures which was very helpful.
All in all - our project was completed (from construction to install) on November 22. So exactly two months from when we began the communication. I consider that extremely speedy for a custom dining table.
My Wife and I are very happy with the purchase - we love the look and it fits the design to a 'T' that we wanted. I highly HIGHLY recommend Marks Live Edge for these projects in the future - as we felt very taken care of and our needs/unique requests followed."

"Thank you Mark for the amazing job on the Black Walnut table! Great communication between us. I loved getting pictures of different slabs he found from different mills he visited. Table showed up via courier all wrapped and protected. Legs assembled easily and MAN it looks great!"

"We had just moved from CT to SC. Downsized, newly retired, newly empty nested. Needed furniture and stumbled across a beautiful live edge table on FB Marketplace of all places. It wasn’t the table for us, but Mark Bocchino’s description caught my eye. Clearly, he was invested in his work, and his heart and spirit were obvious. WE HAD A BLAST WORKING WITH MARK! He readily responded to our questions, and sent us samples of epoxy colors. He listened to our ideas and put them to use. He was very thoughtful and honored the communication. We trusted him completely, and when he showed up with this AMAZING table and bench built to last 1000 generations, we fell in love. So much for downsizing and empty-nesting! This table begs for many gorgeous gatherings. If only all furniture were made like this. Mother Earth would be thrilled."

"I some how found Mark online and he helped bring my dream dining room come true. I first saw a picture of a live edge table on Houzz. I immediately fell in love with the look. It was questionable though, if I could make a rectangle table work in a 12 x 12 space, let alone find the right slab.
Mark persisted in sending me photo after photo on different slabs. He listened to my feedback and we found the perfect one! The moment I saw it, I knew it was the one.
The craftsmanship and care by Mark for the finished product have been unparalleled since it’s a bit of an art piece really. Mark patiently worked with me in making a few tweaks and getting it just right.
If you have an inclination to go live edge - you can’t beat Mark’s commitment to customer satisfaction and a one-of-a-kind table.
When I look into my dining room - it changes the whole vibe of my house. It’s the one piece people say over and over - I love your table. Where did you get it?"
