Testimonials

"“ I have worked with Joann and Mike Bell, Inc. on many custom pieces for my clients and it has been a wonderful experience every time. I am 100% confident bringing my clients to the showroom because I know they will end up with a custom piece that is impeccably constructed and will last for generations to come.”"

"The bed is beautiful. When we came to redo the master bedroom for my client in Palm Beach, it was the only piece that we kept from her original master bedroom set. It was so strong and we all agreed that it would work beautifully in the new space as it did in the old."

"I recently ordered a custom Somerset II bench for my client in Lake Forest from Mike Bell and we both couldn't have been happier with the piece. They did a beautiful job on matching the finish to other antiques in the room, as well as upholstering the herringbone fabric to appear as if it was seamless. They really paid attention to all the details and it's a piece that really stands out in the space. Thank you Joy and Joann for going above and beyond on making sure that my client and I were happy."

"After developing a design concept for our client’s dining room and knowing their expectations it was obvious Mike Bell, Inc. was the appropriate workroom for their project. The custom capabilities coupled with the quality of the product is unparalleled. The convenience of working with a local workroom was a plus as from start to finish there were periodic meetings to address design details and tests to insure the seating had the correct posture and comfort level to suit our client."
