    Helena & her crew made four beautiful shelves for my built-in alcove. White oak w a light stain. Wood is beautiful w gorgeous grain. I'm very happy with the result.

    Fully extended bed with foldable mattress.

    I absolutely LOVE my new Murphy Bed from Borboleta Decors! It's so well constructed, Helena and Richard were so delightful and easy to work with, their designers took their time as we went back back-and-forth with my design ideas, and they executed my ideas and vision perfectly! I could not have asked for a better experience or a more beautiful piece of furniture, it's exactly what I was envisioning!! I'm already itching to place a new order for something else from them. And on top of it, they offered an amazing discount, making it more affordable, because we were so affected by the Eaton Canyon fires. They're such amazing souls, out there supporting, helping, and respecting our community. I highly recommend them!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    I worked with Helena and Richard to have a corner bench made for our breakfast nook and it turned out so beautiful. I couldn't be happier with the results and it truly was exactly what we were looking for. Our bench feels solid and I know we will enjoy it for many, many years. They were so easy to work with and I would love to work with them again in the future!

    Fire pit cover

    From the first communication (text) till delivery, everything went very smoothly. The owners were very knowledgeable and patient with all my questions on ordering a custom fire pit cover. It turned out beautiful and we are very pleased. Cost was reasonable as our fire pit is 52" wide. The order was finished in about a week and Richard went the extra mile to deliver it right to us, for an extra minimal fee. If you're looking for some custom woodwork, I would recommend checking out Borboleta to see what they can do for you.

    From start to finish, this whole experience was an absolute joy . I got two custom pieces made. Everything was to my exact specifications. The quality of the workmanship is absolutely amazing. All the way down to the delivery and set up in the room. Just perfect perfection. Thank you so very much !

    Love my new custom built armoire to house a larger flat screen tv. It's 80" tall x 50" wide. Thank you to Helena & Ricardo for making this design build happen. $1400! They are a great small business owned custom furniture company. Highly recommend Borboleta Decors.

    Custom hallway linen cabinet

    We found Helena's business through a local community Facebook group and my husband decided to reach out to her to get a quote for a few custom pieces. Their prices were competitive and great for solid wood furniture. Richard put together drawings of our furniture pieces with measurements and double checked with us before their carpenters got to work on it. Since our pieces were large and we needed a built-in look for the hallway cabinets, Richard drove out to us himself (since we were local enough to them) to remeasure everything to be sure the measurements were accurate. Sure enough, some measurements needed to be adjusted and thanks to Richard, our pieces fit perfectly when they were delivered. Before delivery, Helena allowed us time to go check out the pieces at the warehouse to ensure we were happy with how they looked. Her carpenter team patiently broke the pieces down and delivered them and installed them all for us. Helena always communicated with us and allowed us to choose our own paint and doorknobs (which we had delivered to her and her carpenter installed). The pieces speak for themselves. We got 2 custom linen cabinets and a Murphy bed (with sliding bookshelves at the front). The Murphy bed was inspired by one we found online (that wasn't solid wood). I would definitely recommend this small business for your furniture needs and appreciate Helena and Richard's professionalism/patience with us!

    They made an incredible table for us. It came out amazing!! We needed a particular size and stain, which they were more than happy to accommodate. They even delivered to our vacation home in the mountains. If you need anything made don't hesitate to call them. Thank you..

    Look at the level of care with delivery

    Absolutely beautiful! I had a small breakfast bar in this area but it became a drop off section and was always full of clutter. I decided to extend the kitchen cabinets with a coffee bar and broom closet. I went to the cabinet place that did my kitchen 7 years ago and I went to Ikea. Both places had prefabricated standard size cabinets. I needed something custom made. Helen and her team delivered beyond my expectations!!! Richard came out to measure everything. They both had great communication every step of the process. They matched the paint to a swatch I gave them. I asked them not to use their standard wooden knobs. My husband was going to add hardware matching our existing cabinet. The day of the installation the guys asked if we had the handles and they installed them for us at no extra cost! This is truly a custom piece made to my exact specifications. I'm so impressed by the quality and the cost was less than I expected. I highly recommend Borboleta Decors. Thank you!!!!! P.S. I still need to add my own counter top.

    Great product, wonderful design, built by craftsman and perfectly executed with attention to detail. With quick turnaround and competitive prices how can you not highly recommend their services! Thank you.

We were greeted by Dakin who was super knowledgable and not pushy at all. My intention was to just to introduce my booty to its perfect match in real life. A friend recommended the Herman Miller Cosm so I came here to compare that model against the Embody and to also revisit the not so impressive Aeron that I used in my twenties just one more time! I wasn't planning to buy anytime soon, I was just test driving. Welp! My friend's testimonials weren't fake, it took me a quick 10 seconds to determine that the COSM was the one! Dakin was not around the following day I placed the order so Marcos handled it for me. I literally have nothing to say except my experience in that shop and the exchanges via email/phone was extremely pleasant. Zero complaints except the imitation Purell they offered their customers that weekend. Maybe they wanted to maintain their customers perception of the store but they tricked us with their tequila smelling sanitizer which I thought was hilarious because we had an authentic bottle in our car. The man who picked up the phone in the West Hollywood location was rude and cocky. I actually ended up spending the rest of the day in that area and we were potentially going to purchase it from there because it was closer but decided to give the business to Pasadena, thanks to Dakin. Weeks later, the chair was delivered although I was promised I would get it within 5 business days.. but totally worth the wait. On top of that, my neighbor ended up buying one as well based on her experience with mine and Dakin took good care of her too. We're overworked old ladies with back problems and can't thank Dakin enough for taking such stellar care of us in such dire times. Working at home can be a pain but the perfect chair always makes it bearable. I would buy from him again, also thanks for the carpet casters!

The quality is absolutely on a par with restoration hardware where we did a lot of our furniture shopping, but the price was better and they even threw in a little bit of a discount because we were fire victims. More importantly, they got it done fast! Lilia was wonderful to deal with, very caring and responsive. Even after we bought the sofa, she's answered questions and been very kind. This place has new customers for life!

He went above and beyond to help us which was greatly appreciated! He didn't stop there.

So sad, we went in with our research done and a minimum $3,000 Mid Century bedroom set purchase decision ready to go. We could have ordered online but figured we would help someone earn commission and establish a relationship with the local store for future purchases since we're looking to furnish a new house soon. I get it, most people are just browsing and not worth the effort. We were educated, focused and intent on purchasing. If West Elm doesn't want our business, there are plenty of other places that do.
