AMERICAN FURNITURE CO

My husband and I took two very precious antiques to American Furniture Company for restoration and upholstering. One piece was a rocking chair that my husband's grandfather had been rocked in as a baby. It dated back to the early to mid 1800's. The other piece was an antique settee that had also been passed down through my husband's family. Both the rocking chair and the settee were wood with an upholstered seating area. Jessica greeted us and after looking at the rocking chair and settee, assured us that they both could be taken apart and re-glued without destroying the finish that time made. We then took quite a bit of time choosing fabric for both pieces. So many samples!! She showed me the codes on the back of the samples that would detail the fabric's qualities after first explaining explaining terms like abrasion resistance, stain repellent, etc. I made my choices and then she had the upholsterer check to see if my choices would work with each piece as chosen and how much I would need. At that time I also asked for a pattern for a slip cover that I wanted to make to save the off-white, linen-like fabric from my 3 grandchildren. With all details discussed and choices made, a written estimate and time for performance was provided to us. I winced a tiny bit and signed. When I went back to pick up our family heirlooms, my initial wincing was replaced by PURE JOY! Gorgeous and sturdy is all I can say, and there with our cherished pieces was a pattern for the seat cover...he remembered! Would I use American Furniture Company again? In a heart beat! Would I recommend AFC to my friends? Absolutely! I'm already planning my next project.
