We ran into Don's business by accident. We were researching on Yelp all the furniture stores in Hilo, because we wanted to buy an outdoor picnic table. Unfortunately no store in Hilo carries anything like this, which is absolutely nuts considering we are in Hawaii, and everyone would like to eat outdoors.
We were on our way to the last furniture store on our list when we passed by Don's house, and saw his "picnic tables for sale" sign. If he was on Yelp that would have saved us a couple hours of driving around, so I am correcting this problem for future picnic table seekers.
Don is an elder gentlemen who specializes in making picnic tables. He also has some Hawaiian art and bird houses for sale as well. He makes everything out of his house. All his tables are made to order, they are $175 a piece, add $50 more is you want it stained. You have to buy your own stain though, but there is a Home Depot neat by. He does that so the customer picks his own color, to avoid disappointments if the color is not to customer's liking.
We ordered our table on Monday, and Don promised they will be ready to pick up by Saturday. He kept his word, which we really liked. Thanks to Don we were able to eat our Christmas Eve dinner on our new picnic table in our new home!
Don also does home repairs, so we will be using his services again for sure. read more
