That's what our customers say
Thanks to form.bar, we now have real eye-catchers in our living room!
The advice and implementation were top-notch—our contact person in particular deserves a medal for patience and friendliness. I took the wrong measurements, changed my plans several times, and probably drove him crazy... yet he remained friendly and creative and helped us create shelves that are more beautiful than anything we could have imagined. Highly recommended—even for chaotic perfectionists!
Learn morePerfect execution!
As with my first order for our wall unit, a bookshelf, and a room divider, the second order for another shelf was also perfectly executed—exactly as I had imagined it!
Learn moreGreat company carpentry Kuhn
As always, everything was perfect. We're already looking forward to our next project with formbar. :-)
Learn moreWonderful shelf
Super unusual, beautiful shelf, great quality, excellent service, everything is great. 100% recommendation.
Learn moreEverything's fine!
Great, custom-made furniture. Perfectly tailored to my space. I think the delivery time of 6 weeks is reasonable, since it was built especially for me. Everything is great!
Learn moreOwn shelf
It was fun to design the shelf on the computer. Communication with form.bar and later with the carpenter went smoothly. The assembly also went without a hitch.
Learn moreSimply great
Very, very nice furniture. Delivered without annoying packaging and still arrived undamaged. For that alone, it would get 10 stars.
Learn moreEverything worked out very well
The system and the business idea behind it are simply fantastic. The carpentry firm Langenkämper did an excellent job. Highly recommended.
Learn moreIt doesn't get any better than this
Very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff, brilliant concept, and excellent website. Very quick responses in communication.
Learn moreGood work — a shelf just as I wanted it.
Good work, the shelf is exactly as planned. The customer service is very helpful and customer-oriented. Assembling it myself went quite well, good illustrations.
Learn moreGreat one-of-a-kind piece
Our shelf has turned out to be a truly wonderful, unique piece. Questions prior to approval were answered promptly, and the delivery date was agreed upon in a timely manner. The team from the Bücherl carpentry workshop was punctual, hard-working, and very friendly. The Bücherls completed the installation smoothly. Standard products are certainly available at a lower price, but you won't find such wonderful, custom-made eye-catchers. Excellent.
Learn moreExcellent customer service!
The promised callback was right on time! Then we had a very competent and friendly consultation, including online adjustments to our design proposal for a kitchen table! We are already fans!
