Custom Furniture Maker - Pittsburgh, PA
5.0
Rivet Design Co. is the creation of Scott Miner, a design engineer and furniture maker. It started with a piano bench for a friend and has grown into a passion of his. It is his belief that hand built, heirloom-quality pieces shouldn’t just be luxury items, but that anyone who appreciates fine craftsmanship and design should have access to them. Every piece with the Rivet name is made with the intention of causing the least negative impact on the environment, which means that most are made from repurposed items and reclaimed wood. Not only is this practice more sustainable, but it adds an element of story to the pieces we create. An oak tabletop made with salvaged floor joists from an 1890s home not only has more visible character from its age and imperfections, but carries with it the story of a previous life. Whether it’s a boardroom conference table or a child’s step-stool, we approach every project with the same three ideals: make it functional, make it beautiful, make it well.

My wife and I had a great experience with Scott as he designed and built our deck in our backyard. He clearly explained everything he was going to do and was fine with us asking questions and giving feedback as he went along. He was also timely in communication and getting the job done. Overall, we would highly recommend Rivet Design Co and hope to work with them again!

Had Scott with River Design Co come to our home and install a large amount of tile backsplash as well as mount our tv and hide all the wiring. His work is excellent! I would highly recommend his services in any capacity.

We have worked with Rivet Design Co on several large and small scale projects for not only our home, but business as well. Scott is extremely responsive, timely and transparent, something often difficult to find. He would take our ideas (read: crude drawings) and turn them into beautiful pieces that blew us away. It is obvious that Scott is doing what he loves and is able to add his own artistic flare while staying within the confines of your original concept and budget. Rivet is our first and last call when it comes to all projects related to creative design for furniture and construction. Without a doubt, Scott is one of the best people we have ever worked with and we will continue to do so for as long as he is doing his thing.

I used scott's services to help me on a kitchen renovation. Scott removed old countertops and replaced them with butcher block. He also retrofitted a large double basin farm sink into the pre-existing cabinetry. Scott was fast and his work was of a very high quality. I would definitely use him again, in fact I've already asked him to design and create a custom island for our kitchen as well.

Lily & Val Flagship Store - Custom Work | Sep 2016 | I built several items for the Lily & Val flagship store in Pittsburgh, PA. Included were the Point-Of-Sale, Card Wall, Open Shelving, and Window Shadow Boxes. Point of Sale included collapsable table extension and custom cashbox stand to cleverly disguise it as a piece of furniture, and is topped with Italian Carrara Marble. Shadow boxes were made to fit each window and contain custom wired LED light strips within frame to illuminate boxes at night. | $4k | Pittsburgh, PA | |
