The work was done masterfully - we were pleased to get it back looking like new. I liked the additional attention to detail beyond the wood refinishing. They insured all the bolts and joints were firmly reset and quiet. We were very pleased with the craftwork.

Above is the coupon I  used.
Since I had an excellent experience with this provider on multiple occasions I did not want to submit a poor review.  However, each time I sign on to Angie's list this request pops up and each time I look at the piece I see the problems (which is daily)  I decided to write the review so others would not be dissatisfies like I am still today.
I am disappointed.
Response from Carolina Furniture Restoration

Had we known sooner, we could have worked to correct what you were unsatisfied with and made it to exceed your expectations. We still wish to do so. Please contact our office at 919-461-0073 so that we can schedule a time to come and pick up the piece and resolve the issues. Again, we are truly sorry and look forward to being able to fix this for you. Sincerely, Brian"

The Banquette was not made to specification. They did come back and rework it as best as possible. The final product was acceptable but not outstanding.


The modifications to the built-in unit were of poor quality and had to be redone, which they did to my satisfaction.


The refinished dresser was done well.

Brian and his team tried to search for a replacement inlay, but the table was 30 years old and a pre-made one or one from the manufacturer was not available. 
So they created an original design which I like better than the original.  It makes me smile every time I walk by it. 
The work was creative and professional and  I could not be happier with the result.
Response from Carolina Furniture Restoration
"[Member name], We enjoyed working with you on this piece, especially the inlay! We are so glad that you love it. Thank you for the wonderful review!"

I purchased a Big Deal through them. I have an antique mahogany piano stool that I had put an antiqued finish on in the 70s, then primed it to repaint it last year. Decided I'd really like to see the wood again, but the many grooves in the legs had deterred me from stripping it myself. When I took it in, I mentioned that the mechanism was missing that raised and lowered it. I thought maybe they could at least put something inside to stabilize it. They said they could find a replacement mechanism, and they even shopped around to find a lower priced one for me. I picked it up yesterday and it's lovely! They stripped off 3-4 layers of finish, stained it, and it now is able to twirl up and down! I'm very pleased with their services. I now have a beautiful heirloom piece.
Response from Carolina Furniture Restoration
"[member name removed], That is a beautiful piece. It was our pleasure to work with you. We were so glad to have found the mechanism and we appreciated your patience while we looked for the best price. We are grateful for you taking the time to write a review. Thank you, Brian"

Our leather club chair had two legs that had stripped from the screw insert, and needed to be fixed.  We have an SUV, so we brought the chair over to Brian and discussed the piece and what he could do for us.  He quoted us a price and a two week time frame.  I mentioned that we were not in any hurry, but he had the piece ready as promised.  He even removed some stubborn latex paint stains on the chair.  Could not be happier with the results.  He had to find two replacement legs and matched the existing ones very well. 
Have read many of the comments concerning jobs taking too long and service issues, and even mentioned this to Brian when dropping off our chair.  Brian and his staff were all easy to work with and I would definitely use them again in the future.

Brian did a great job and the table and chairs look 100% better.  Very calm and explains things as he goes.  I would definitely use him again and recommend him to friends and colleagues.

tThe quality of the work was outstanding, but more than that this provider went way and beyond to help us through a bad situation after a cabinet maker ruined the entire project with poor quality finish work. This meant extra work for Brian as he had to strip and/or sand all our bases, doors, and wood components to complete the entire job.  This was a complicated and challenging job, but he excelled in every area. When I could not locate a trim carpenter, he hired someone with excellent skills and they completed the job together.  He went "above the call of duty" to move the job to completion in a timely manner.  The final product looks like an entirely new kitchen!  I recommend him highly!

We had a rustic pine entertainment center that had one entire trim price broken off and lost. CFR had to match wood, match finish and match interior and exterior trim work. The work was very good. Good finish match, good exterior and good interior router work. My only complaint was the time it took to get finish. It was there for about 2 months before we finally got it back. I would have rated them all A's if there had been better communication from them regarding the project.

Response from Carolina Furniture Restoration
"We quoted you a price expecting to take your table top with us at that time . No business is going to refinish your table at this price and make an additional trip free of charge . That is a completely unreasonable expectation to make of anyone and we are not in the business of losing money even if it means getting a bad review . We encourage you to get a quote from one our competitors and you will see that we gave you a fair price for the amount of time and travel that it would take to restore your table top to like new condition"

I received a quick reply and scheduled a time to come to my house for an estimate. I was provided a prompt estimate that was within my expected range. Brian was upfront that given his schedule and the amount of jobs ahead of mine it would be a few months before mine was done.
The job was completed within the expected time frame. In my opinion the work was first rate. I am very happy with the results.

"Thank you for letting us know how you feel. Our Angie's list deal began running the 26th of May, so you actually dropped your piece off mid June. I am truly sorry for the delay on getting back to you about the status of your item. To handle the influx of business that we have gotten as a result of our advertising, we have since hired an additional person to assist us with calls and maintaining the work load of this office, with whom you spoke to yesterday about the delay and confirmed that your item will be ready for pick up this coming Monday. Ms. Bergner, we thank you, once again, for your input, we apologize for the delay and we hope that you enjoy your finished piece."
