Sanity Check on Custom Shelves
Located in Oakland County, Michigan. reached out to a carpenter for a small closet refresh- including (4) 18x25 shelves. I was quoted $1100 and sent a 50% deposit.
He no showed and rescheduled several times before telling me he couldn't do the job. Anyway, he had already built and stained the shelves so I said I'd take them. He just dropped them off and they're 24" instead of the 25" I asked for.
He said I didn't owe him anything, he'd just keep the $550. I asked him to come get them and refund me and he refused stating they're a custom project and my spec wasn't possible. Thoughts?
