I can't say enough about the customer service I received and ultimately the end result of a custom project I ordered from Relic Wood. I was looking for some sort of storage box for guitar accessories and sheet music. When I didn't see anything that was the size or design I was looking for, Melissa pointed me toward their customizable memory box options. Wow, ended up being the perfect size and the Metallica themed design turned out amazing! The design process was really simple: 1. Uploaded two photos, 2. The designer showed me the proofs of the artwork she came up with, 3. Approved it, 4. Box arrived in about two weeks. Great company, will definitely use them again. Thanks!

The quality is unmatched and better than anything I expected!! Aside from the costly shipping expense (not under their control), I am so pleased I ordered what I did. I was nervous about whether or not it would get here in time (keep in mind they only are open Monday-Thursday and it is a 10-14 BUSINESS day turnaround time + shipping) but it got finished early and was shipped out. It got to me in 3 days!! I had it in my hands before it was even supposed to ship. The artwork is perfect, the artist was quick to get me my proof and fix anything I didn't like, and the process was very easy. Ordering anything from here would make the perfect gift for anyone, at any time of year!

I have purchased a keep sake box for myself , one for my grandson and 2 more for my two daughters. The craftsmanship is excellent and I highly recommend these products to everyone. I am am going to continue purchasing these products for my grandchildren. Again, I must say I have not found a better way to say how much you feel about a person but with these personalized Keep Sake boxes.

Amazing service and product quality. As a Canadian Army veteran I was able to submit photos and Relic Wood was able to accommodate all my requests without any difficulties enabling me to get my ammo case with my army decals etched into the wood commemorating my service. Absolutely would recommend Relic Wood as a quality gift for any person. Well done Relic Wood!

This is the second box I have ordered and I can't begin to express the qualiy of work that goes into each box that is crafted and nothing gets done before you are 100% satisfied. On both my projects, I made changes after I saw the mark-up. Relic Wood responded quickly and made my changes. I was notified every step of the process. The work is simply amazing.

I love this company. I order a box for my dad. They put a picture of his carrier on it and his crest from the navy. I also ordered one for my boyfriend with his shield and thin blue line. They are so great and helpful. My picture was bad quality and they found another of the badge in perfect condition. There customer service is great. The quality of the box is impressive. If you are looking for a unique gift , this is it!!
