Kevin, I always thought that the famous
Ultimate Design workshop shop shop where
they make all the wood is somewhere far
out on the warehouse, but you wouldn't
believe it. We're standing on 39th
Street between 12th and 13th Avenues
right here in Bar Park. And here is the
actual wood workshop of ultimate design.
I got to show you this place.
>> Okay, so every morning we change the
blades for the table saw. So, we make
sure that we put in a new blade and the
cuts are precise and clean cuts. Okay.
So, taking off the security switch and
we're going to start cutting the shaws.
This is what happens when the boss
himself got to do it. The boss, why did
the boss have to do it? We work today.
Every day is a different day.
Beautiful clean cuts.
Heat.
a blade over here.
Things happen sometimes. You have to be
very careful and you have to know what
you're doing. You have to have years of
experience.
>> Wow. Wow.
>> So, what we're doing right now is we
have a customer that uh needs his unit
to be resized a little bit smaller. So
we cutting the all the shelves and all
the parts and then we'll be able to put
it back together in the coordinating
way. It should be sufficient.
>> Wow. So that's the model of having a
local shop, not somewhere out in the
states, not somewhere overseas.
>> We can do everything over here in the
shop. We do most of the most of our work
is done right here on the premises.
>> Amazing.
>> As you can see, we have the machinery.
Uh we have the table saw right here. We
have here the other machines. We're
creating now a crown for our customer.
You'll see it soon. Done. A crown. A
crown for the top.
>> A crown that goes on top of the unit.
And the customer is going to be able to
get a beautiful crown. The choices. We
have the biggest, the largest selections
of crown in the tri-state area that we
offer for customer. We keep it in stock.
>> Really?
>> Yeah. We have close to eight different
types of crown.
>> Jeez.
>> You'll be able to see upstairs in the
showroom.
>> See it? Wow. I love the moldings over
here on top of the uh on top of the
these are moldings. Yeah.
>> This goes on top of the swim shank.
What's he doing over here now?
>> He's cutting. He's preparing now for the
crown to be prepared.
>> Crown on top of the swim shank. It's a
beautiful design. All handmade, right?
>> Nope. No,
>> this is not this is this is this is all
the machine.
>> All machine.
>> Yeah, that's called embossed crown.
>> It's a funny handmade is better. I think
machine made is better because the
machine is more precise than
>> it depends on what there are certain
things that machinery are are either CNC
are not so qualified to do. For example,
I'll show you right now here. Take a
look at this door.
>> Okay.
So, all of these carving on these doors
are done by hand.
>> Mhm.
>> Okay. Um, this is things that there are
machines that able to do that,
>> but they're very precise and the cost is
probably more greater when you do by
[snorts] machine than you do by hand.
>> What's he doing over here
>> now? He's going to stain the door.
Finishing staining it.
>> Stain the door. That means the finish,
>> right? Nice.
Wow. Beautiful.
So the fact that everything is done in
house here in Burbach, not far away in
some warehouse, right? You can control
the entire process.
>> You can control it. If somebody wants
you to customize it more, change it,
redesign it, refinish it, you can always
come right back here and do it.
Unbelievable.
>> Okay. So here you can see Mr. uh George,
he's applying the molding on top of the
doors. Okay. Uh we have about um also
nine different types of molding in stock
that we apply on doors. Um, and it makes
it a lot less cost effective for the
customer that we stock everything and
we're able to do it right away.
>> Wow. So, right here in the house, it's a
nail gun. See, the nails are so small,
you don't even see it from the outside,
right?
>> Correct.
>> Get my kick. He's putting those nails
in.
>> You don't even see it, you know.
>> See here, you can see how we're
installing the crown.
>> So, this is the crown that he's doing
now.
>> He's actually putting them up with the
same nails.
>> No, actually there these nails actually
18 gauge nails. They have to be a little
bit stronger.
>> Beautiful. The more the number is going
down, the higher it is.
>> The the bigger the nail is.
>> Bigger the nail is.
>> Beautiful. So, this is going to get
after stained and ready to go out.
>> Ready to go out. Correct.
>> Customization. Wow. Beautiful.
Customized by the ultimate design.
>> Okay. So, let's go upstairs to the
showroom. You'll see our great beautiful
showroom. We're in this location already

of every stuff and we able to come and
pick up customer can come in and pick up
today literally almost as many units as
we have in stock to pick up and go
without delivering installation. You can
do it delivered in assembly to
>> hold on. If I need a bookcase in my
house or two bookcases or three
bookcases, I can come down here.
>> You come here, pick it up, you pick it
up, you take it
>> and you save money from installation and
>> yes [clears throat] a person will save
money. We don't truly we don't recommend
it because it's better than it's being
done and installed by our people. But
for one single or two single units, a
person needs it right away.
>> Goes into the minivan right here. All
these stuff are book.
>> All the book is over here. Stuff here is

Ultimate design. You said you're open

>> We're in business for just almost 30
years now.
>> 30 years of business.
>> Yes.
>> So this is in your blog.
>> 30 years. Yeah. I'm in this line for
close to 40 years.
and I'm working for myself for almost 30
years. Um, I'm going to give you a
statement. We based on our calculations,
we sold over 100,000
bookcases.
>> No way.
>> Over 100,000 bookcases sold over here.
We actually have the first invoice and
you can see no gimmicks. We start from
00001.
What's the name?
>> Kyle.
>> Kyle Mataf.
>> Yeah,
>> they were your first customer.
>> They were our first not in my times. I
wasn't here then to be honest.
[laughter]
However, yeah, we have every customer
and actually we are you could go over to
the table over there. I'll show you.
We're middle of organizing all the files
again was a project each and every
customer. We still have it. This is
around 14,000. We have all the numbers.
Every single number. So, right now we're
hitting close to 15,000 customers.
>> Customers.
>> 15,000 customer. And the interesting
thing is because we're already in
business for 25 plus years, we have the
second generation.
>> Wow. So father and son,
>> father and son, mother, they bought
their their swim and ultimate design.
They're coming. We have a young couple
from Anakinda. We still have yours and
we love it.
>> That's amazing.
>> And now we go to the next step.
>> It's almost like a doctor's office where
you keep a patient's file. We keep the
file. So if they have an issue, they
come back. So any customer that calls us
up and we they want to add on a unit,
they want to know what color they took,
they want to have the size of the unit
because they want to move to a new
house,
>> we could actually open up the folder and
see what they purchased. Going back to
customer number one,
>> can I see that customer number one? I
just want to see the look how cool that
is.
>> It costed them $31.
>> No, $31,500. About $31. [laughter]
>> So back in the day was like
>> talking about over 100 foot of
bookcases.
>> It's not a This is unbelievable. First
one 30 years ago. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.
A book from Alan. This is this all the
stuff you made in your work time.
>> Honest truth is it's not everything.
[laughter]
>> This book in order to make everything
we're going to have to make a book every
year.
>> But yeah, all of these all of these
stuff that you see in the book
technically anyone can come and see it.
Um it's stuff that we have done carved
out extremely. Now these are this is
custom custom pieces. Let's not let's
not fool ourselves. This is um custom
specialized. How does it work if someone
wants to do a custom piece by you?
>> So there's two ways of going about it.
If someone wants to have a custom
equation, a lot of time they bring the
design already. They give us a plan and
a design and we have to modify it
because they're not woodworkers. So we
go through each and every step based on
the measurements. I don't want to tell
you how many hours of of hours of hours
that we have to put in every kesh.
However, there's also another option in
kesh like this. This is what we call a
kesh. It come it could be available in
different colors if we want. And we
could do it with the flower. We could do
without the flower. We could change the
crown. Now, the benefit of it is it's
not just stuck that it's pick it up
tomorrow. It's stuck that we have all
the pieces and we customize it to the
size of your safe.
>> So, don't worry about that it's not
going to fit. It's going to fit in.
We'll make it to work.
>> And it's a lot lot cheaper than
>> 100% 100% more cheaper. We also offer
beis readymade beamis.
>> Ready. Now, these beams right now
actually we're going to be selling them.
It comes available in three colors and
we're going to be selling them at an
amazing price. $500 a piece.
>> $500 a be.
>> $500 a be or a tender. We have a
kazender. We can make it into a
rebender. really
>> whatever they want. Now, regarding I'm
going to give you a little sneak peek of
that we're actually building right now.
Just for half a second, as you can see
on my screen over here,
>> this is a fully fully custom um coming
up soon.
Secretish.
>> So, you're working on that
>> and we're working on that. There's a lot
of hours of hours of work put into it.
The hours of work is going to be seen at
the final job.
>> Wow. So it's unbelievable that you and
your father technically in your hands in
your two hands in your fore hands you
have hundreds of toy that are laying in
your fore hands
>> and thousands of gammudas with with with
120 of
they put all the are laying in your
shanks
>> off in scale you're good to go man lucky
you lucky you k I want to show you the
little process of technically how it
goes through for a bookcase a customer
comes into here so usually they look for
a three-piece unit a two-piece I I can
show you very quickly of how the process
works and and it's very simple. We try
to make it as simple as possible for the
customer. So after we sit down and we go
through the size and how many units they
want, usually I bring them over here as
most most as I can and they could start
choosing first of all they could choose
the color. We have many colors available
and then we have moldings. You could do
it with a crown, you could do with a
trim, different pricing of course, we
could do it with doors on the bottom. We
have different options as we explained
down before in the shop. All of all the
options over here so you can see
everything over here. Now, even when you
do a full swish, no one has to think
that they have to go fully custom.
>> Plus, our swam a 10 x10 will use our
stuff that we have and it's going to be
semi-custom
>> and it's going to be a lot cheaper
>> and it's going to be a lot cheaper and
it's going to look beautiful.
>> Wow.
>> No, no issues with it. We can work with
the sizes and I can actually show you
some stuff in in what I have done in the
past, a few pictures and people would
think first of all, yeah, this is fully
custom. It's out of my budget. We can
make it work. So, the address is
