“I love working with young talented people and in Keighley and Phil we have found the best of the best. Both totally devoted to their design projects, it has been totally inspiring to see the outcome of my original brief to something exquisite and beautiful. I hope and trust to continue to work with them on many new projects. Truly amazing and inspiring lovely people.”

"Philip is a pleasure to work with. His designs are meticulously laid out from the outset and he is very clear about what he is going to deliver. I am delighted with the work he has done for us and as this was a constantly changing brief, he dealt with all of that with tremendous patience, good humour and attention to detail.
Pricing and billing is clearly laid out and the payment schedules were comprehensive and clear so you always knew where you were, particularly given all of the changes that were made.
I cannot recommend Philip highly enough and look forward to working with him again."

"We have used Philip Clay Design on two projects in the last year.
The first was the making of three bespoke bathroom cabinets which we supplied the design for.
The second was a fully fitted study wall unit. For both projects Philip fully understood the brief ,contributed his own ideas and delivered and fitted beautiful furniture which exceeded our expectations. Along with that the projects were delivered on time and we found both Philip and his staff great to deal with throughout the process."

"We recently undertook a complete refurbishment of our bedroom and dressing room. Phil and his team were tasked with not only designing and making our wardrobes but also a media unit. From concept through to fitting, service and attentiveness was first class.... quality was 5*......his team were always very courteous , helpful and shared his attention to detail. To judge somebody's work, I always listen to what other people say... everyone who has seen our new bedroom always first comments on the wardrobes and media unit......'quality , design and colour are superb'.... true praise indeed!"

"Incredible experience from start to finish. Phil’s overall service was outstanding. He designed me a beautiful, bespoke desk for my recording studio. His knowledge was excellent, and his deaign and suggestion took my studio to another level. Throughout all this, whilst he would suggest ideas and open my eyes to a few things, he always made sure that he listened to what I wanted and importantly what I needed. Budgets were kept to, timelines were kept to, and I was kept in the loop of the progress with regular pictures and messages. Delivery and installation was smooth, and nothing was too much trouble - for example, at the last minute I wanted a couple of holes drilled into the desk, and that was done without any issue whatsoever. I honestly would recommend Philip and his team to anyone. First class! "

"We used Philip Clay Furniture Designs when we fully refurbished our house and needed some storage solutions. We needed fitted wardrobes in 2 bedrooms and wanted a full wall bookcase and television frame in the living room. Phil was remarkably friendly and thoughtful of our restrictions (both in terms of space and budget). The design process was genuinely enjoyable, and involved a number of discussions with Phil to get a product that was optimal in terms of both utility and aesthetic. Everything was delivered on time and fitted efficiently. Lovely guy to have around the house during the fitting, and an end product which we have enjoyed using for the past 2 years."

"I commissioned Philip to create built in wardrobes for our bedroom. His knowledge and understanding of how to create a practical yet beautiful solution really appealed to us. Throughout the initial consultation, design and build phases Philip kept us fully updated and made us really feel part of the process. His attention to detail and high level of craftsmanship encouraged us to extend the commission to a book case and matching TV unit for our living room and a large dining table. All had very different objectives but Philip managed to achieve the right look and feel of each item and they all have enhanced the rooms they are in. I would thoroughly recommend Philip to anyone looking to get a unique and handcrafted piece of furniture."
