The chair when I saw it was acceptable and I expressed gratitude for Avi's work.  However, when I got home I realized that the weaving pattern is not the same as the original.  It is missing a 3-inch line in the center that connect the four quarters.  Rather the quarters join at a point.  My best advice would be to go where my mother went and paid $150, though there was no wood repair required though oiling and finishing were offered, at A Wicker Workshop.  For wicker work, go there.

From the first time I spoke with Avi, he was friendly, helpful and professional. He suggested that I bring the bench to his workshop, so that I would not incur the extra cost of pick-up and delivery. He had asked me to text him a picture of the bench, so he knew it would easily fit in my car.

My husband and I brought a small side table as a sample of the color stain we wanted for the bench. He asked us not to leave the side table with him for fear of it being damaged in his workspace. We discussed the color and agreed upon a time frame, which was very reasonable for the work requested.

Avi called when the bench was ready to be picked up and we were excited to see the final product. When we arrived, Avi brought out the bench, and we were not all that happy with what we saw. In his effort to retain the look of the grain in the wood, he had made the color rather light, compared to the color we had tried to convey.

We told him we were rather disappointed, and without hesitation, he told us to leave the bench, and without any extra cost to us, he would refinish the wood in the darker color we had requested.

He was a man of honor, and true to his word we picked up the bench a short time later, happy to see the work done beautifully and exactly to our liking.

We would definitely use Avi for any future furniture jobs we might have. He is a man to be trusted and is totally dedicated to serving his customers and making them happy.

Went very well, the price was a little shocking,but understand that if you want quality work no price is to much for something you want to cherish and be able to pass down to your children. Overall was good quality work and Avi was very polite and professional.

The work was excellent. It was very well done. We repeatedly told them about the time limits, but the work was done a bit late. But the work was of very high quality. We were very pleased.

I reviewed Avi's work on, first, a ladder-back chair in early November, then had him proceed with the matching chest of drawers. He took a good amount of time (over 6 weeks), but I told him I was in no rush. When he delivered the piece, I was impressed. He had done a thorough restoration including the inside of the drawers. It looks wonderful and functions well. There was just a very small portion of the finish at the bottom of the front that will possibly need some light sanding with very fine paper as I believe it may simply have been inadvertently touched prior to completely drying. But it's not noticeable unless one runs their hand over it. There are a couple other very minor imperfections, but only if one examines the finish very carefully as they are not easy to see. One drawer does not completely close, but it never did. Had he repaired that, it would have been nicer. Overall, very good.

Our experience was good. It was a little expensive though, but it was good. We were happy with it. It is just a little pricey. I would use them again actually but probably negotiate the price down. I tried to, but he would not budge. It was probably $800 high, but it was okay. We were still happy with the product though.

I picked up the chair today, and the work was amazing.  I can not even see where the wood had split.  I would recommend this business to anyone who needed wood repaired.

They were both scratched and worn when I sent them to be refinished.  I asked him to sand and stain them back to their rich walnut.  He has no concept of fine mid-century furniture.  They are now an orange-blond.  I am sick.  As far as I am concerned they are ruined.  I hope I can go back to the vendor where I bought my pieces.   I will have to pay  again to to have them redone as they should be.  
I have only myself to blame for hiring him in the first place.  I understand that you have no personal knowledge about your providers of your Big Deals,or whatever you call them, and rely on reviews  from others.  You should take a look at his reviews on other web sites!  As a result of this very costly and very unsatisfactory experience I have had with Angie's List, this will have been my first and last of my dealings with your website.
Edit: He swindled me out of a lot of money.
Response from Excalibur Restorations

"With all due respect I read your complain again and again, I could not see any sense to making you dissatisfied or upset. 1. I told you from the beginning: there is no stain under the lacquer and i will sand the too pieces tack of the scratches and re lacquer them, i did so. 2. What is that mean"orange-blonde" with all do my respect to you, i never heard that term or a color named such as this. in our industry we pro form work only by samples, your end table are natural walnut coded with clear lacquer, and that was my ultimate sample. 3. "He has no concept of find mid-century furniture" with all respect what mack you an expert in order to criticize my ability in such way? you don't know nothing about me or my profession, it is looks to me like you willing to pour any kind of garbage on me in order to get some money back. it looks to me like you slandering on me and questioning my personal and professional dignity, so in easy way. I don't think that i aloud you to do so. your complain looks to me as a passel of bored game you setting up to extortion me and the system to your benefits. way you threatening Angie's list to stop working with them, they are very good company, and work connection provider. 4. as a conclusion i wold like to offer you to redo the job, and work under your supervision to stain and correct the color of the end table, to your satisfactory, and this will cost more then you asking. 5. I hope you be able to challenge me to give you my best."

After speaking with the company a few times, they came to the conclusion that they wouldn't be able to help with the job I needed done.

He asked to see a picture of the damage. I sent the picture. He quoted me a price far out of my budgetary restraints. He also tried to get me involved in some Quixotic scheme involving publishing a book. I declined.

I purchased a "big deal" through Angie's for $99. After some back-and-forth communications on a couple furniture pieces that needed attention, I decided to first go with one chair for $300 retail (but w/ $200 work for $99 on the big deal + $100 cash). I dropped it off on Oct 24 (was amazed at all the various artistic, creative things in his shop) then was told it would be a couple of weeks to complete the chair. Avi called on Nov 6 that it was complete, and I picked it up the following day. Avi did good work matching the wood piece, gluing unstable joints, making the chair look nice without diminishing the older-quality original finish. Just a very, very slight color/finish differential on the new piece of wood, but barely notable. It didn't appear as though the chair was completely stripped and refinished. Not an expensive chair, though, and I intend to have him proceed with a matching chest of draws/secretary very soon. Overall, it looks good. A solid job for the "big deal" price.

The work that I needed done according to the estimate far exceeded the cost of the table and chair set that I needed refinished. At the time of purchase I had no idea what the cost was going to be and I didn't want to pass up a good deal. Avi at Excalibur was nice enough to go over all the details of what was needed but I cant afford to put that much money into it. Thanks.
