This job went smoothly from start to finish. I would not hesitate to cll them again if I had a problem .
Description of Work: I had a recliner that I had purchased from Kittle's about 4 years ago, that I was having a problem with the foot rest not working. I called Kittle's and they referred me to Vintage Furniture. I called Ron on Friday morning, and he came out on Friday afternoon, and determined that the frame on the chair was broken. He quoted me a price of $120 to repair the chair, which I accepted. He took the chair with him on Friday, and on Monday morning, I received a call that the chair was finished. He delivered it on Monday afternoon, just 2 days after I had contacted him about the job.

I took in two chairs for estimates. One was a vintage aluminum with one rug and floor protector missing. He said it was too old to be replaced. I believe it. The leg was hollow and if it wasn't something original, I doubted it could be found too. The other was a glue and stabilize job. He said 45.00. I thought that was high, so I'll try it myself someday. That chair wasn't that important, but if it was, I would let him do it. I also got a verbal unseen estimate on refinishing a large Haywood Wakefield Credenza that had been stained dark brown. Est, without seeing was 575. I thought that was high but someone else without seeing it est 1000.00. So I think that he is reasonable in the refinishing category, but that this type of thing is always expensive. Depending on how badly I want to get those done, I would use him.

The job was done ahead of their initial timetable. The price was a little more than I thought it would be, but I am pleased with the work. Great job! I just dropped off a solid wood dining room chair for Vintage Furniture to repair.
Description of Work: They replaced the woven cane on the seat of a 40-year-old bentwood rocker. THey also had to stain the cane to match the original cane on the back.

He was incredibly patient as we had to request multiple parts since Lane reuses model numbers. However, the third time was a charm and once Ron had the correct part, our chair was fixed within a day. As mentioned in other reviews, the business is difficult to find, but Ron gave great directions via our first phone call.
Description of Work: We contacted Ron to repair an 11-year old Lane swivel/rocker recliner that would no longer swivel.

He had a lot of integrity and did a beautiful job of repairing the couple of issues that the chair had so that I could continue to use it. He picked it up and brought the chair back. His pricing was very very reasonable.
Description of Work: He repaired an antique morris chair. This was not a historic restoration.

Great -- could not have been better!
Description of Work: We had a recliner where the mechanism was broke. I contacted the furniture company who sent the part and Vintage Furniture installed for us. He came to the house initially to determine if it could be fixed and then suggested I ask he furniture company for the part because it would cost more for him to rebuild. He charged us nothing for looking at the chair. Once I got the part he was here very quickly, picked up the chair and then had it returned within 2 days. Amazing customer service and the chair is perfect!

They did a great job. They took it all a part and put in new hardware where needed. They put it back together, refinished it and put a coating on it. I think it will last another 100 years for my grandchildren.
Description of Work: They restored a porch swing that was my great grandmothers, so it was probably over 100 years old.

As other reports have indicated, you have to be attentive for the location - 3560 Madison, just south of Summer/Madison. The customer entrance is in rear by gravel parking lot. This is definitely a place for work, not just for show! I enjoyed talking to Ron before and after repair was completed. To be in business for 40+ years syas it all - quality and reasonable work. The cluttered workshop is a plus to me - substance over style!
Description of Work: Had 1950s ottoman stool from recently deceased mother's estate. One leg was broken and mesh covering was torn. Ron repaired the broken leg, repalced the mesh covering on underside and cleaned the vinyl. Very satisfied with results!

We arrived after Vintage Furniture was closed but were able to leave the table and phone number with the upholsterer next door. Vintage Furniture called us with an estimate, and when we OKed it, they went ahead and did the work and called us when it was complete. We picked up the table and all was well.
Description of Work: Stripped a small antique table with spindle legs.

Flawless repair and stunningly reasonable repair charge. We needed to have the chair fixed within a week and Ron got it done even earlier! Do not be deterred by the appearance of the exterior of the building or the crowded nature of the shop. The service is excellent.

I had Vintage fix 2 similar chairs a few years ago so knew their work. I did take one of the original chairs back so they could match the cane and stain. Ron checked the chairs out to make sure he could fix the break in one, and assured me he could. He gave me a written quote and approximate complete date. The completed chairs are absolutely beautiful! Ron is a true craftman. His prices are very fair and I will definitely use him again for a dropped leaf antique table in the future.
Description of Work: I had 2 antique wooden chairs with cane seats that were given to me and they were in very sad shape! The caning was torn in both chairs, and one chair had a cracked back as well.

My mother asked me to find someone on the south side of Indy to refinish her bench. I found Vintage on Angie's List. As it turned out, I ended up keeping the bench at my house in Carmel. The owner delivered it without any extra charge.

Ron really does stand by his products.
Description of Work: I'm adding an addendum to our previous report on Ron. (about the custom made table). It turned out he wasn't happy about the way the finish on the table stripped--he said there was a mark and he didn't want to sand it out (would make a dent). So he made us a completely new table top and brought it by today. Who knew a microwaved oatmeal bowl could cause so much damage? It was a wait, but it was worth the wait!

Everything has been excellent! I think you can take the ordinary to them, but you can also take the extraordinary to them which I appreciate. Their service and communication is impeccable. Their prices are very reasonable as well. They know the old forms of making furniture and that's how they repaired the oak piece I had. It's nice to be able to go to one place for upholstery and refinishing.
Description of Work: They took a handmade oak bar, that nowadays would be 2 pieces and cut it in half so it could fit and be moved into my home. They did the work such that only the trained eye would know it was originally one piece. I have an antique credenza and desk that were handmade. They restored the credenza in keeping with the color of the aged pieces. I had two chairs that they distressed and refinished to match the desk and then they reupholstered them. I had an oak table that was splitting and they fixed this. The large piece they cut in half they deliver tomorrow.

Ron came to my home and inspected the item that I wanted refinished. He was the only person who offered to see the item before giving me a quote. I was very pleased with the results. The desk looks like a new piece of furniture. One thing to note is that you should inform Ron that you are a member of Angie's List when you receive the quote in order to obtain the AL discount. When I mentioned this to the delivery people they indicated that there were no discounts.

Preliminary dealings with Ron have been professional and positive. He will be picking up the dresser from my home in order to complete the work.
Description of Work: Ron promptly completed my request for an estimate by coming to my home to view a dresser that needed refinishing. Communication with Ron was excellent. He gave me a fair price (with a detailed explanation of the price and the work to be done), and he will be completing the work soon.

Excellent job!! Ron came out immediately and quoted me on the job. I gave him a picture of how I wanted the furniture to be refinished (for color). He matched it perfectly. My home looks like a different place with the furniture refinishing. We just love it!! He came to my home twice with a sample on one of the pieces of furniture to make sure the color was right before doing the entire job. He also completed the job way before the time he estimated it would take. We are thrilled!! Ron and his helpers were so kind and polite.
Description of Work: Refinished 7 pieces of Rattan furniture. The furniture was white washed and Ron refinished it in a medium pecan color.
