Mr. O’Brien did an excellent job. He is a master craftsman and furniture maker, and specializes in conserving and repairing antiques. I could not be more pleased with the quality of his workmanship. He is delightful and knowledgeable, and a real treasure to find in our community.
Description of Work: Mr. O’Brien repaired the broken arm on an antique chair and a broken leg on an antique table. Both pieces were valuable to me, and had undergone previous repairs that had not been done well, and had failed.
