Stop your search and just go to Gothic! I did a lot of shopping before finding Gothic. I wanted to work with people who are artisans and know their profession. Aris was a tremendous help! I thought I knew exactly what I wanted, but he gave me great advice, which greatly improved the final design. When he came to my apartment to measure he recommended some further changes which were perfect. The installers were very professional, courteous and went out of their way to move some furniture and hook up my TV. They left the apartment cleaner than when they arrived! I am extremely happy with the final product and the entire process. I can't recommend Gothic enough.
Aris and Gothic Cabinet know what they are doing! Aris and I worked closely together to come up with pieces that would be both functional and nice looking. Getting the furniture took a little longer than I had anticipated, but when it got delivered and assembled by a great team, I realized it was worth the wait. Storage is no longer an issue in my one-bedroom apartment. I highly recommend them.
I sought Gothic out, based on their great reputation and they definitely did not disappoint! Aris helped me turn my idea for a large, custom wall unit into a beautiful reality. His knowledge, attention to detail and service orientation are unparalleled. He is also a delightful person to do business with, communicating with me throughout every step of the process. In addition, the craftsmanship of the finished piece was excellent. I was happy to know the wall unit was being manufactured by carpenters in Gothic's local workroom who took pride in their work--versus strangers not invested in the outcome of the project. In this day and age of impersonal customer service and lack of craftsmanship, Gothic is a breath of fresh air. Go for it!
Gothic Cabinet constructed a wonderful custom wall unit for us. I've been waiting years for a new unit and this one is everything I hoped it would be. The attention to detail during the design process was appreciated.The installation was expertly done; everything was cleaned up at the end. Everyone who sees the unit loves it. Thank you to Tony and all at Gothic Cabinet Craft.
We are pleased to recommend Gothic Cabinet Craft for custom-fitted bookshelves. Aris was extremely helpful with the measurements, the design, and keeping us up-to-date about our work order. The installers were so professional and easy to work with. (Everyone at the NYC store was.) We were especially pleased with the care and attention to detail. For example, the areas where wall plugs were behind the shelves were not lost but flawlessly incorporated into the design. Our thirty-five cartons of books love their new home. They even asked me to thank GCC and Aris for an excellent job.
Gothic Cabinet did an AMAZING job on our replacement Air Conditioner covers and built in cabinets. The construction, engineering and craftsmanship of the cabinets is excellent. We worked with Tony Stakis - who has the patience of a saint. These are most professional, thorough and all around decent folks in the business. Estimates were accurate, (byzantine levels of) documentation required by my building were well-navigated, everyone showed up on time, and they did everything they said they would do. NYC is a tough place to get anything done. Gothic Cabinet and Tony S. have our trust.

After a nightmarish experience trying to order a bed online and making arrangements to dispose of the old bed and assemble the new one, I had to start over when the online company couldn't deliver all the bed parts. Go to Gothic, a neighbor told me. And so I did, found a perfect bed - a floor sample on sale with a matching nightstand. It was delivered the next day. The guys dismantled the old bed and took it to the basement, put the new one together and Voila! So easy! Thank you Tony for saving me a lot of grief and giving me gorgeous furniture.
I am wildly impressed with Gothic Cabinet and have been for years. Highly recommend and let me explain why. First and foremost, Aris V. is one of their best assets. His knowledge, experience, and professionalism is beyond. In a world where the art of customer service is lost - Aris raises the bar. Second, the optionality is spectacular and for custom furniture in NYC this is beyond important. Every nook and cranny must be utilized in your apartment or home and Aris and Gothic know exactly how to do that. To be clear, we have personally done our bedroom set, bookshelves, and cabinetry. Professionally, Aris has supported a brand new lobby desk (13’ desk), custom storage bench, table tops, and more. The vast scope of work we have accomplished together is impressive. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. Cheers.
As a retired interior designer I am pleased to write this testimonial regarding the work Gothic Cabinet Craft has done for me for more than 15 years. The professionalism and expertise of Aris and Tony have made the process of design and the selection of wood and finish easy. Delivery and installation has been made in a timely manner making Gothic Cabinet a reliable source for me.
My experience with Tony Stakis at Gothic Cabinet Craft was wonderful. I was professionally guided through the choice of material and design for my kitchen pantries. The pantries turned out beyond my expectations. The installation was professional and polite. I am now going to have a radiator cover built by Gothic! I look forward to working with Tony again!
Great experience with Tony. Had a replacement vanity built for our bathroom. Cabinet is beautiful - we had a hiccup with our prewar building and some unique pipe holes that needed to be made and Tony gave us great customer service and ensured the project was finished as quickly as possible.
This was the second time I dealt with Gothic Cabinet Craft, and both times I was VERY HAPPY with the experience and the outcome. It was a pleasure working with their team, to design cabinets specific to my needs. They produced drawings for me to sign off on. The end results were just perfect - each cabinet was beautifully and solidly constructed, exactly to my specifications. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Company, for any of your woodwork needs.
We ordered all the furniture for our bedroom- queen bed with 6 drawers, headboard and a footboard. 2 Night Stands, 2 Chests and a Dresser. All the furniture was stained the same shade and all the drawer handles matched. Aris Voulamandis helped us through the whole process - from selection of furniture to getting it finished and delivered to our home. We are very happy with the service and furniture we got from Gothic Cabinet Craft
We have been buying bookshelves from Gothic Cabinet Craft for more than twenty years, and they have all held up beautifully. Recently we bought four more bookshelves and a platform bed. Tony Stakis expertly and patiently took us through all of the options for the bookshelves and bed--design, size, color, price, etc.--and we are thrilled with the results. The installation was done meticulously and looks great. Tony's designs are the perfect combination of elegance and functionality. We now have a lot more storage space, and a bedroom that has been renovated and transformed. Thanks, Tony!
Responsive and encouraging from the start, Tony sent me pics of different styles for the cabinet I had in mind, drew up designs, quoted them, and adjusted them from my feedback. He came out to measure, we agreed on the project, and then he communicated with me periodically to update me on the progress. He came out again to take detailed measurements (measure twice, cut once) Completion took six months, but the final product is beautiful and beautifully made. The installation was as painstaking as the build. The precision applied to making this truly built-in is especially commendable given the not-level walls in this NYC apartment. The price reflects that this is a custom design, build, and installed cabinet. I was happy to pay for this quality of workmanship, attention to detail, and customer service.
