DON'T BUY FROM HIM. Especially if you're thinking of shipping of China.
Royal Hsu is a fraud. I've met this guy in Shanghai and he looks no where like in his Linked-In picture (https://www.linkedin.com/in/royal-hsu-4696a836/). I visited his shop in Shanghai when I commissioned his products. He promised all will be well. I lived in Beijing at the time. When shipped, 1) There were damages to 3 of 4 of the custom-made furnitures. Calling him up, he refused to own up, blaming the transport company which he didn't insured for, nor ever disclosed. 2) The products were made of cheap and light poplar wood, which he again, didn't disclose. They were also not properly dried for furniture use. So when the dry winter came, the shrank and cracked. Much money down the drain. He only offered to fix 1 piece. When we moved away from Beijing - we junked them because they were so poorly made.
At the time when I met him, I even gave him friendly free IT consultancy, feeling then he's venturing into his fledgling business from home. He's a fraud - ungrateful and unprofessional, at best. He also has multiple listings in Houzz.
