Description of Work: Repaired a broken leg on an antique desk chair. You do have to be patient, however. This repair took almost 2 months to finish...at one point they could not find it to see if it was ready. That being said, I would definitely recommend them as their work is excellent.

They just did a magnificent job on it. This thing was from 1863.

Response from Old Friends Furniture Refinishing
Your ice chest was a fun piece to work on. Transforming it from an unusable relic to a beautiful and now highly functional furniture piece was a bit of a challenge, but that's what we love working on the most. Thank you for your business.

Description of Work: They refinished the top of an antique oak table which had a tiger veneer top. |The table was finished just beautifully and it matches the base which was still at home. |The whole project took about a week. |

I took the chairs in one by one. I am always surprised that the estimate is just $80. They don't pull any old records, or ask me how much they charged last time -- they just know their stuff enough to give consistant estimates. These are nice people, these are artists and craftsmen. The work takes longer than most other craftmen of today's type. But these guys are not pulling replacement pieces out of a bin and sticking them on -- each job they do is a 'one of' -- they make the peice that gets invisibly placed on your piece and return it to you and quot;as good as oldand quot;. I am a fan --- I can't tell you the number of people I have sent over there -- good people --- good skills.
Description of Work: I have an antique French or Italian dining set that has handcarved pipes players on the face of each chair. Their must be a design flaw in each chair as one by one they had snapped when a guest leaned "too hard" against the seat. The break is always in the same place and it always looks impossible to be fixed. These chairs each broke over a decade (maybe one or two have not broken yet). So we have followed them from location to location.

Old Friends did a fantastic job refinishing our table top. Unfortunately a concrete liquid mixture ended up on our table top. We were very worried that our beautiful dinning room table was ruined forever. After a lot of research we decided to contact Old Friends. We drove to their store and showed them one of the damaged leafs. They assured us that they could restore it. We are extremely happy with the results. We would highly recommend Old Friends. They are very professional, customer oriented, and have very fair prices.

They stripped at least 2 coats of paint down to the natural wood and refinished the item with natural stain. They warned us up front that it would take 6 to 8 weeks, which was not a problem. They removed chipped paint and amateur antiquing, rejuvenated the hardware and did an absolutely beautiful job of refinishing the item. I would feel comfortable taking one of our precious antiques to them - and probably will.

Old Friends were able to fix the chair on time and the chair has withstood a lot of use for six months and has held up beautifully. The staff at Old Friends were very professional and courteous during all of my interactions with them.

The quality of the work is excellent. Obviously work of this type can't be rushed, so depending on the amount of restoration and their work load it may take several weeks for a job to be completed. The price for their work was reasonable. Note the address of the company is :3315 NE 112th Ave., Vancouver, WA Tel.:. 360-604-8565
Description of Work: One of my puppies chewed off one of the claws of a claw foot table. This was the third piece of furniture this dog feasted on. Two of the pieces were antiques including this one. they carved a new foot to replace the one damaged and they melded the new foot onto the leg and refinished the table as per my request. When done, the damage and repair were not visible. The other two pieces repaired were an antique sofa table that was rescued from a pond and an end table.

We have had Old Friends repair and refinish several pieces of funiture. I am amazed each time we get one back. We had a mahogany desk with shelves and glass doors above that was in such bad shape that I could not give it away. It had been damaged extensively from shipping and was considered a complete loss by many. Old Friends did such a great job on repairing and refinishing it that you can not even tell that it was ever broken. It sits in our entry way where we get many compliments on it. We have recommened Old Friends to many of our friends and family, all of which have been completely amazed and happy at their work.
