Great! Craig had to take them apart, fix some of the pieces, reglue them and put new cane seats on them. They look brand new and are stable again. They haven't been used in years (actually, since my grandmother died 30 years ago) and are now at my table.
Description of Work: I had 4 wobbly, ladder-back chairs that needed to be re-caned and made stable.

It went pretty well. There were a few missteps in the beginning with getting some measurements crossed and getting the stability of the table, but Mr. Nunn was able to correct these. Mr. Nunn cares very much about the quality of his work and wants each piece to be well used and enjoyed by his client. He is also a very pleasant person with whom to work.
Description of Work: Mr. Nunn made a Noguchi style table base and a side board for me out of maple and zebra wood to match an existing custom made table. The furniture is made very well. I would rate it a B+. I have other custom made furniture that is better finished, but also cost twice as much. So this is well made with a very reasonable price point for CUSTOM made furniture. Do not compare this to buying at Crate & Barrel or any regular furniture store. This is much nicer and is exactly to my size and wood specifications. Mr. Nunn even added little inlays to match the in-lays in my other table. He did a very good job and communicated well throughout the process. Please check out his website or Facebook page for photos. Mr. Nunn cares very much about the quality of his work and wants each piece to be well used and enjoyed by his client.

Craig responded very quickly to my inquiry through Angie's List, and came by to give us an estimate within the week. Dressers are both beautifully refinished now. Very impressed with the quality and attention to detail. Can't be in a hurry, but the result was worth the wait. We have several more items we are going to have him refinish as well.
Description of Work: Refinished 4 drawer antique dresser for $620, and a couple months earlier refinished a matching 3 drawer antique dresser for around $550.

Craig spent a great deal of time researching where a missing chair back slat could be made and found a carpenter in Asheville, NC who could reproduce the exact piece. My many compliments to him on his insistence to get the job done correctly. Craig was very faithful to provide updates; I always knew where I stood in the course of getting this repair made and throughout the refinishing process. He brought a 40 year old table back to life!

It was nice to work on such an interesting cedar chest. Had to do a little research on the style and structure of the legs and that made this piece a little different. Glad we could bring refinish this piece back to the point where the customer could enjoy it again.

I contacted Craig about three days before I needed him to do quite a big job, and in a hurry. I needed a midcentury sofa and two chairs re-glued and screwed for stability and I needed turn around to be three days. I knew it was a long shot that anyone would be able to do so much work so fast, but Craig agreed to the work. He came to get the furniture precisely when he said he would and then emailed me with a photo of the furniture disassembled. He brought the pieces back to my house at the agreed upon time and they were like new! I am so grateful for his extra effort in getting these fixed so quickly. He did charge a rush fee, but that was totally fair. Also, Craig was polite, and well, normal. I would definitely contact Craig again for my furniture repair needs!

I'm glad that we were able to complete the repairs needed on your furniture in a timely fashion. This project was given rush priority over projects already in the shop, so I had to charge a small "rush fee" for the quick turnaround. I'm glad that everything turned out OK with this interesting furniture.

Craig was responsive over a large period of time, from the initial request for a quote in the fall of 2013 up until delivery of the finished product. He took pictures from someone's homemade game table, and with specification changes for height and other issues, designed and adjusted the table to suit our requests. He helped us figure out what we wanted in the table, and worked through the design to overcome unforseen obstacles while still providing the table as requested. There were some issues with punctuality. Originally on signing the contract we were told approximately 8 weeks for construction and delivery, and as 8 weeks came we were told Craig hadn't even begun the project except for the legs of the table. We were also told that per the contract, the table had until the beginning of September for completion, which was approximately a month away at the time. The beginning of September came and went, and because of some scheduling issues and what was evidently overbooking, Craig had not completed the project, but was close. The weather exasperated the problem because of the need to allow the stain to set correctly. In the end, Craig was 20 days late according to the contract, and nearly two months late compared to the original expectations we were given. Craig was always professional and polite. The end product is very nice, however, and shows the efforts of a true craftsman. The price was quite reasonable compared to similar products available from outlets like 'Geek Chic', which have a wait-list of more than one year. Overall my wife and I are quite pleased and would definitely use Paradigm Furniture Studio again, and I would recommend Craig to friends and family if they had a similar need.
Description of Work: Design and construction of custom game table with game vault and pull-out trays, similar to tables like those offered by Geek Chic.

Thank you for taking the time to send in a review. The complexity of this game table added to the delayed delivery of the final project. Juggling several projects at once also contributed to the delay. We are sorry about the delay in the delivery of the game table. We are happy that you are enjoying the final product and the way it turned out. We appreciate your patience and hope that you will consider doing another custom furniture project in the future.

Craig did a wonderful job. We can't find the fixed split area, the table looks brand new. The cost was minimal compared to the work, and what I would have had to pay for a new table in hard maple that would easily seat 12, and could cram in a couple more. If you want great work, call Paradigm. I'd give him AAA if were available.
Description of Work: Craig repaired a split board in a fifty year old dining room table that has 4 leafs,and refinished it to a different color. The first finish didn't set correctly and he took the table back and redid the whole thing, leafs and all.

Craig was very professional and flexible when scheduling. He arrived on time, assessed the situation, provided an estimate and details about how he would fix. We agreed on price and he was able to work on the pieces right then. One piece required transport action to his work shop and he was extra careful; and well prep area with protection covering etc. He called back promptly to arrange delivery. He even remembered that I had a dog and brought a treat

An all wood chest of drawers finally showed some wear from the daily use from a 5 year old. The drawer track was broken and when pulled out too far, would completely disengage. Paradigm came to our house to review the problem so we didn't have to transport the huge piece of furniture. They were able to fix part of it on site and took the drawer with them to complete the repair. Two years on, and it still works great. The repair has held up very well.

The refinishing of this customers table seemed like it was very straight-forward. The table was completed, returned to the customers home and she seemed to be very happy with it. A week or two later she called me back to discuss some marks in the finish left after having put candlesticks and then table pads on the table at a different time. Obviously there was a problem with the finish and after apologizing profusely, we worked out a plan to get the finish problem taken care of at no charge to her. She very graciously worked with me to schedule a time a few months later for me to come by and pick up the table. After sanding out the marks in the table's finish and recoating it, the table was allowed to cure for several weeks just to make sure that everything was OK with the finish. I then returned the table to the customer and she seemed to be very happy with it. I have not heard from this customer about any other problems with the finish on this table.

The telephone stand was an interesting project because it had to be taken apart first to repair the top and base sections. After regluing both flat surfaces, it was reassembled.

The anique coffee table had carved swans holding up the table top. Needing some TLC, this piece was carefully disassembled and reglued back together. Broken parts on the swans were repaired at the same time. Then the whole table was cleaned, stained, and recoated with lacquer to give it that nearly new look again. Very interesting piece to work on. Glad the customer was happy with the final result.
