Dave fixed a old berkline reclining loveseat for me that was about 24 yrs. old. I didn't want to buy a new one as it was still in nice condition. The front wood frame where the cushion meets the side arm broke after all these yrs. and I needed the springs redone for the back cushion and some stitching for the back and along with the fabric tore from the frame letting go.. He brought the broken pieces back to his shop and he had them fixed and reinstalled within 2 days. A new loveseat from what I was pricing for a reclining replacement, Bernie/Phyl's, (only place I could find that sold one close to what I have), would have been near $1000. so for a fraction of that I got mine fixed!! I'd definitely recommend his services for any of the work he offers! I'll definitely call again if needed.

Dave was an absolute pleasure to work with. He recaned the seats of four dining room chairs for us. He is professional, experienced, and reliable. His workmanship is outstanding. We look forward to using his services again and recommend him highly.

Fabulously well. He found where the internal mechanism was bent so that parts were rubbing against each other, and straightened them back into shape. He also lubricatated all the moving parts. Would absolutely employ his services again.

Dave was great. He took a really nice, but quite old BarcaLounger that was no longer reclining, took it apart and reassembled it using a new wooden internal brace, and it now works great. Dave is a true craftsman with high standards. Feel very fortunate to have found him!

Dave is an exceptional, experienced pro; I will absolutely hire his services again in the future. He reached out and set up an appointment very quickly after assessing the repair, arrived on time, was professional and personable, and performed the repair quickly, neatly, and (very) affordably. Dave is the ideal pro for furniture repair - you can trust him absolutely to do a stellar job and offer detailed, frank advice to keep your furniture in top shape.
