This was one of the best experiences I have ever had with any type of contractor. They responded quickly. Everyone I interacted with was very nice. They picked up the table, did the work, and delivered it more quickly than their estimated timetable. And the work far exceeded my expectations. The table is old and had seen many, many years of hard use. They ask lots of specific questions until they understood exactly how I wanted it to look when they were finished. They obviously did the work with great care, adding a some extra stabilization and filling a small hole without detracting from the rustic nature of the piece. Our cherished family table is ready for many more years of use. I look forward to working with Frankenstein Furniture Co. again in the future!!

I can't stop looking at my coffee table. It needed some TLC to the top and they made it look better than when it was purchased. The woodgrains show and the finish is rich and has a great lustre. They touched up additional areas to complete the overall finished look. They pick up and deliver! Also the work was turned around quickly. I can't wait to work with them again.

As usual the work was excellent. Both chairs were taken apart and put back together while maintaining their antique look. Both chairs were very rickety and now are stronger than when they were new, 100+ years ago. The end table was restored while maintaining the intricate pattern on the table top and the small antique wooden coffee grinder's wood was restored. I have now had Frankenstein Furniture restore a water damaged dining room table, a round table, three types of chairs, a two drawer chest, two types of end tables and a small coffee grinder. All of the jobs were done perfectly. I don't believe there is any type of antique wood furniture restoration job they can't handle and they are very reasonably priced.

In addition to the current job, I have successfully used Frankenstein Furniture to repair / refurbish a mahogany dining room table, a two drawer cherry chest, two walnut rocking chairs, an oak end table, an oak play table and a round oak side table. I don't believe there is a job that they can't do well, at a reasonable price and on time. They are also very good people who are pleasure to work with.

Once again Frankenstein delighted me! They had done excellent refinishing work – precious dining room table and chairs – for me previously. This most recent project was a repair: reattaching a leg to a piano bench. When I called, I wondered whether they would be interested in performing the relatively small task, but they said immediately that they would be glad to help. Now, following the repair, I am thankful that I can have confidence in the sturdiness of the bench when my visiting son and grandchildren sit on it. (In addition to repairing the one leg, Craig also checked the other three legs: He offered to do so before I could request it, as I had planned.) In addition to doing splendid furniture refinishing and repair work, Craig and his wife, who assists him, both are so nice. One example: When Craig picked up the piano bench from me, I mentioned to him that it might soon have another refinishing job for him; he examined the item and suggested a product that I might be able to use to fix the cosmetic – but not insignificant – damage myself.

Frankenstein Furniture did a fantastic job on all of the pieces. Nobody would know there were ever any problems with any of the items. The work was reasonably priced and delivered when promised. I would recommend anyone with antique wood furniture in need of restoration to bring it here. The owners are extremely nice people, who I would trust with any restoration job. I am very glad I found this company and I plan to use them again.

I used Frankenstein Furniture to restore a two drawer antique cherry chest which had been spray painted brown and a heavily worn antique play table, repair the base of an antique round table and reassemble an antique dining room chair, which was in three pieces. They previously restored an antique water damaged dining room table for me.

I had two antique chairs that needed to be tightened and one antique table that needed to have a side panel reattached. Frankenstein Furniture did a great job bringing these antiques back to life. Their services are by appointment only so you need to “apply” and then, if they accept the work, you work with them on pick up drop off and delivery. They had great communication and were delightful to work with. One caution - In the past, restorers returned my furniture in pristeen waxed condition - that I could never recreate at home. In this situation my furniture was finely fixed - but not waxed/polished. If a wax or polish is your expectation - you should state, not assume, this will happen.

We were so happy to receive this thoughtful review. We love the fact that we get to work on so much beautiful furniture. Craig commented several times that your table was one of the most beautifully made tables he had ever seen and how much he enjoyed restoring it to its original beauty. It is especially meaningful to us that it is a part of your family's history. Thank you for taking the time to let us know that you are happy with the results. It means so much us.Lois Z.

Craig repaired and refinished a family heirloom dining table that had been sitting neglected in my basement for years. When he says "I bring your furniture back to life" he really does! What once was a dilapidated and unused table is now a source of pride and beauty in my home. Thank you Frankenstein!

GREAT. I called several companies, sent photos of table, and got really high estimates. Too high. Frankenstein's estimate was reasonable - neither low nor high. I wanted to get the table picked up and then returned after the work. I explained that I was not in any rush to get the job done and could schedule in the future when they had time to do the work and get the table back to me - as opposed to picking it up and having it sit around until there was time. I scheduled in the future accordingly. They got it on a Monday and returned it Friday, which was a pleasant surprised. The work was perfect.

The refinishing was more than I expected on a water damaged side table. It came out looking like new. On another occasion I needed several chairs glued to make them sturdy. I don't think anything will pull them apart now.

I sent a photo of the end table and Craig gave me an estimate of $350.00. We set up a date for him to come and get the end table. He returned the finished end table the next day and it was beautiful. He didn't have to strip the end table to repair it so he didn't have to charge me as much. I am extremely happy with the job that was done and will definitely will use him again should the need arise.

Turned out better than expected! Looks beautiful!
Description of Work
I had an antique dining room table refinished. It was very distressed with several black large stained areas but now it looks 100% better! I was seriously thinking about just pitching it and buying a new one but after looking and pricing new tables at Kittles I decided to let Frankenstein Furniture see what they could do and I am thrilled with the results. It turned out beautifully! You can’t ask for better service either..... they picked it up and delivered it within a weeks time, knowing I wanted it back in time for Christmas. Might I also add they are the nicest people ever! Thank you Frankenstein Furniture!

Excellent job by Frankenstein Furniture! Not only is the dry sink now worthy of being called a "showpiece," but the whole experience was wonderful. I don't know that I've ever met nicer people than Craig and Michelle, and the work product is second-to-none. I will never go anywhere else for furniture refinishing. Thank you!

Initially, we were very puzzled by this review as the listed date on the work completed was 2017 rather than 2013 and there was no name listed. We could find no corresponding paperwork that matched this and felt perhaps this was a review posted in error. However, the next day there was a name listed and the date the work was completed was changed to 2013. We were sorry to hear that you were disappointed in the color of your table and we do guarantee all of our work for a year. We wish that you had let us know so that we could have fixed it at no charge but do want you to know that should you decide to work with us again we will be happy to offer special pricing for you as our way of making amends for the fact that you were not as happy as you could have been. It is important to us that our customers are happy with our work and we want you to know that we are sorry that you were not 100% happy with our efforts.Kristen W.
