He provided an estimate, picked up the chair from my home repaired it and returned it to me. The chair was one of a set of 5. This particular one had the legs shortened by about 1 1/2 inches about 100 yrs ago. Anthony matched the wood (Maple) and extended the legs to their original length. Extensions were stained and match well with the other chairs in the set now. Two legs were round and required lathe work to make the extensions.

You can trust your items in Anthony's careful, expert hands. My pieces came back fully restored, solid and looking better than ever. He can even tell you a bit more about your beloved antiques: the period, the wood, how it was made, and even where it may have originated. Service was prompt and I didn't have to live too long without my pieces.

Description of Work: An antique maple kitchen chair was repaired. One of five chairs had 2 inches of each leg removed by a previous owner. Anthony made extensions to match the other chairs. Needed to use a turning lathe and hand shaping tools to match the design. Good quality work.

I dropped off the items to get an estimate. I was called that same day with the quote. I didn't have the work done because I didn't realize how expensive it is to refinish furniture and these were not big or expensive items. The price to refinish was more than what I spent on the items initially.
Description of Work: The bid was for refinishing a child's maple table, the tray of an oak high chair, and a child's oak rocker.

We were very pleased. The table looks wonderful. Tony is very knowledgeable about antique furniture and has a passion for the work he does. First, we had Tony come to our house to look at the table and provide an estimate. He was able to come within a day or two. Once we decided to have Anthony's refinish the table, we made an appointment to have it picked up, which occurred about a month after our call. Tony arranged to pick the table up when he was ready to work on it so that it was never sitting idly in the shop. From pick-up to delivery, the process only took about 3 weeks. He came recommended to us, and we would not hesitate to recommend him to others.
Description of Work: An antique table (over 100 years old) had some heat and moisture damage, and the leaves had scratches. We had the table and leaves refinished. Tony first came out to do an estimate, then came again to pick up the table and leaves, and delivered the refinished items when they were done.

The process moved slowly, but for something so treasured, that time was well spent. Tony listened to everything I said, including my concerns (and glowing stories about Grandpa and Dad), then made my dreams come true. He was particularly patient through my pickiness about the color of leather, allowing me multiple full-sides hides to select from. The day he stripped the wood, he called to tell me how gorgeous it was and ask if I could come to the shop to see it. That kind of loving care and enthusiasm is exactly what I needed from the person who d been entrusted with my heirloom. The chair was delivered today, and is breathtaking, comfortable, and in as good (or better) condition than is was when new. Tony worked miracles.
Description of Work: I brought in my grandfather s 1930 s wood and leather desk chair, in desperate need of restoration after three generations of businesses were begun from it. This chair is a precious treasure to me, the idea of someone tearing it apart was absolutely frightening. At first, I had an estimate done by another shop that had re-upholstered some love seats for me and was mortified at the price quoted and the limited selection of leathers. Based on a friend s strong recommendation, I took it to Tony next and couldn t have been happier.

We attempted to move our high end wood bed frame without dismantling it and broke the connection between the headboard and frame. We contacted the furniture store where we purchased the bed and they referred us to a furniture repair person. The repair last about two days. I then called Anthony's Furniture Restoration and Anthony visited my home and took the headboard. It was repaired within two days and Anthony delivered it. It has lasted for several months now. Anthony was very professional and his work was exceptional.

Anthony was great to work with. He was able to give us a variety of bids to work with depending on how much work we wanted done on the items (especially the chairs). He asked for a reasonable deposit. He was able to come pick the items up and help us load them into his van. It did seem to take quite a while, but I have nothing to compare it to so that may be industry standard. We were pleased with the results. We did have one miscommunication on when he was to show up to do the estimates, and had a hard time tracking him down on why it happened. That turned out to be a minor issue.

Anthony made an appointment to look at the desk and was very prompt. The repairs were done beautifully. The top of the desk is perfect, and the new connecting section is indistinguishable from the original section on the other side of the desk. The repair took a little more than a month, but the wait was worth it. Anthony was again very prompt on the day he returned the desk.
Description of Work: They stripped, repaired and refinished the top of an oak drop front desk to remove water marks. They also installed and finished a new connecting section between the front and rear leg (this section was missing on one side of the desk). They picked up and delivered the desk.

The final product is magnificent and I am very happy. I will be using their services to restore other family heirloom furniture. We took the cabinet to them at the end of October and asked to have it completed for Christmas. They delivered it on Dec. 22. That is what I would call reliable service.
Description of Work: They repaired and refinished an Eastlake walnut glass front cabinet that dated to the late 1800's. They also made 4 black walnut shelves, 1 inch thick, to replace plate glass shelves.

TONY CALLED ME VERY SOON AFTER I SENT HIM AN E-MAIL ABOUT A TABLE, CHAIRS AND BUFFET THAT NEED SOME SERIOUS ATTENTION. HE MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO COME OUT TO OUR HOUSE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE FURNITURE AND TO HELP ME DECIDE IF IT WOULD BE WORTH PUTTING MONEY INTO IT. APPARENTLY, WE HAVE A FANTASTIC DINING ROOM SET THAT NEEDS A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT. TONY SUGGESTED THAT WE COULD DO A PIECE AT A TIME AS WE COULD AFFORD IT, AND WE ARE VERY LIKELY TO HIRE HIM ON FOR THAT TASK. HE SEEMED VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT HIS BUSINESS, THE WOOD, AND THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF OUR FURNITURE. I WOULD BE VERY COMFORTABLE HAVING HIM WORK ON OUR SET.

WORKING WITH ANTHONY'S WAS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! HE WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT MY PIECE OF FURNITURE AND EXPRESSED GREAT EXCITEMENT ABOUT WORKING ON IT. RAY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB COMPLETING THE WORK AND WAS ALSO VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND TRULY SEEMED TO ENJOY WHAT HE DOES FOR A LIVING. THIS WAS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH ANTIQUES AND REFINISHING SO I REALLY AM NOT SURE IF PRICE AND TIMING WERE GOOD OR NOT. HOWEVER, THE PRICE WAS WORTH IT FOR THE WONDERFUL JOB THEY DID. THE WORK TOOK LONGER THAN EXPECTED AND LONGER THAN THEY ESTIMATED BUT AGAIN IT WAS WORTH THE FINAL PRODUCT. I LIKED WORKING WITH ANTHONY'S SO MUCH I HAVE ALREADY BROUGHT MORE ITEMS FOR THEM TO WORK THEIR MAGIC ON.
