Description of Work: Add implied that they would come to you, but they wanted me to bring the furniture to them. Since it was a couch, I couldn't. Then they wanted a picture. By then I gave up.

Description of Work: The work was done very well and on time. Work on furniture, in general, is now expensive. They were within the price range that most others were. I like the work they did. I will use them, again, and recommend them.

Description of Work: I needed four living room cushions re-stuffed and thought the $200 of upholstery for $100 should cover it. This company's bid was $800 - more than I paid for the couch! They may do fine work, but the value just wasn't there for an Angie's list referral.

The dining room table, which they suggested I have done in a satin finish to avoid future problems, turned out just beautiful. I was moving, so they happily stored the table until I was in my new house to deliver it. My dining room looks fantastic! The bed turned out great, too. They were pretty miraculous in the way they were able to turn a massive headboard, that went from the floor to the canopy top, into a more manageable and traditional headboard. The footboard was great, too. You would never know this bed had ever been any other style than what it is now. This totally saved me money and hassle, as I didn't have to dispose of the old bed and buy a brand new one to get the look I wanted. They were very professional in suggesting alternative ways of doing the bed. They also were right on time and right on price!
Description of Work: I had my dining room table and 2 leaves refinished. They had scratches on them and the glossy finish was no longer glossy. I also had my 4-poster canopy bed (not your usual style) cut down to a smaller headboard and footboard.

Overall frustrating as my husband and I took in several home projects and prices were outrageous. As noted above, I was able to get the fabric of my choice/same company for much less. Their choice of fabrics was quite good and extensive when I looked at sample fabrics.
Description of Work: The company does not seem interested in home upholstering, very expensive. Was able to get same fabric on line for $20 less per yard.

After a couple weeks, upon completion of the sanding, we were called out to select stain color. Their staff made recommendations based upon the wood, etc. Just a couple weeks later they were ready to deliver the final pieces. They are FANTASTIC - absolutely beautiful. Although the price was higher than we hoped or thought it would be - it goes with the quality of the completed work. they look and feel GREAT!!!
Description of Work: We hadd two family pieces that were in need of refinishing - a mahoganny drop-leaf secratary from the 20's and an oak plant stand made by my father-in-law in high school from the same era. We were looking to have the finish removed, sanded and then stained and finished.

I suspected one thing was wrong with our sagging chair. When I dropped off at Ackerman's the person who looked at it immediately determined that the problem was something else. Left chair with repair time estimated at 1-2 weeks. After 19 days I had heard nothing about completion, so I called Ackerman's and they said chair repair had just been completed. I picked up chair that day and it had been expertly repaired.
Description of Work: Fix broken web on upholstered dinette chair.

Excellent service, excellent customer attention, and excellent craftsmanship.
Description of Work: They repaired and finished a small walnut smoking cabinet. This included making and replacing two warped sides and two missing legs. They called to have me come and pick out a stain. When I stopped in they were very helpful in suggesting what would look the best. I took their stain color advice and the result is a beautifully restored cabinet that has been in the family for at least 50 years.

Pam at Ackerman's answered my call for an estimate and scheduled an in-home estimate at a time convenient for me. Two Ackerman's staffers arrived exactly as scheduled, and answered all my questions helpfully and professionally. I had previously obtained two estimates from other re-finishers, and was able to send the chair and desk to Ackerman's with the estimators. I was not in a rush to have the work completed, but I did want the pieces returned by the date of a family celebration. Pam kept me informed of progress on the pieces, scheduled a visit by my husband and me to the shop in Burnsville to select finishes and fabric, advised us in our choices, and scheduled return of the pieces by the date I had requested. We were delighted with the finished work! We later requested a repair estimate for our dining table. The same Ackerman's staffers arrived as promptly as on the first visit. They assessed the problems and were able to make the necessary repairs then and there.
Description of Work: Repaired and refinished 80 year old drop-front desk, a much-loved but also much-worn family heirloom. Advised on choice of finish to highlight different varieties of wood; restored escutcheon and lock that had been previously removed. Repaired badly warped doors on side cabinets. Also, repaired, refinished and reupholstered French Provincial armchair. Gave badly-worn piece with interesting family history new and beautiful life. Advised on choices of finish and fabric. Subsequently, repaired connection between pedestal legs and top of Duncan Phyfe dining table and pie-crust edge of pedestal leg tea table. Both repairs done in home.

This company is very helpful from the first phone call on. It is a very positive, high energy company. They treat their customers with the utmost respect and kindness. They gave an original estimate, with half to be paid down, and they were willing to allow me to take the fabric samples home without even having to sign them out - very trusting. They have been available whenever I have called or stopped in - very accommodating. The workmanship is excellent, and the shop is clean and well managed. I will recommend it to everyone who is looking for this type of service, workmanship and quality.
Description of Work: They stripped and refinished a 1920's dining room set including table, leaves, five chairs and one captain's chair. This included reupholstering the chair seats, and the fabric was extra at about $140.00. They had me visit twice to see the work in progress and choose the stain color to be sure I was satisfied. I met with the person working on my furniture - no red tape or being put off to someone else. Quality service!!!
