Mr. Metz came to my home, picked up the necessary furniture and parts, took them to his shop and repaired them, and returned and installed them at the end. It took a lot longer than I expected for this job to be completed, but because the job was taking place while my house was being remodeled, it was no skin off my nose. The wait was well worth it. Because the slats for the rolltop desk tambour had warped while sitting disassembled in my basement, I had reservations that anyone could repair it. Mr. Metz did a wonderful job. I recommend him highly.

His work is impeccable. He is a true craftsman and takes pride in his work.

We are thrilled with both pieces. The dining table looks awesome, and we can't wait for Rick to repair the chairs that go with it. The dresser is amazing. I'm not sure how he did it, but you'd never know that the dresser had been plagued with water damage and chipped veneer.
We are very impressed with Rick's talent, but we are clearly not the only ones. Since he's so good at what he does, he stays very busy. We had to wait a while for Rick's schedule to allow him to work on our pieces, but it was definitely worth the wait. Also, Rick's prices were reasonable, and he finished the items quickly.
Overall great experience and highly recommend!

Rich did a FANTASTIC job on all the projects we have used him on.  The chairs that he repaired were extremely ornate and he did a masterful job repairing them.  all the refinishing work was done by hand and is absolutely beautiful.  Furniture that is 100-200 years old now looks as good as new!

He is very pleasant, responsive and meets deadlines as well.

GREAT job! I can't tell where the repair was made and it is much sturdier. Rick found the problem that contribute to the damage and fixed that as well. It is an older chair -- over 100 years, family heirloom. I am so happy that it usable again.
Thank you!

His add specified that he served the greater Cincinnati area. It turns out that because I lived in a certain place it would take a lot longer for him to get out their and do the work. He was very helpful in suggesting someone else and his customer service was great. I am getting a refund for the deal.

Excellent. Chairs are stronger than ever.

In a word - great!  Rick was responsive, one of few who was willing to take on this large project.  He communicates thoroughly, does highest quality work, and is very personable.  The weather challenged our schedule but he was able to do an outstanding job.  The front doors were removed, taken to his shop, refinished, and reinstalled.  They are gorgeous and look better than new.  He also refinished a table that had become stained and water damaged.  It also looks better than new.  We highly recommend Metz's Fine Furniture Repair.

Very pleased with the outcome of the refinishing.  Pieces were well worn and desperately needed restoration.  Purchased an Angie's List Deal that covered a portion of the price.

Rick explained everything in detail and offered options to help keep the price affordable.  He is very professional, pleasant and easy to talk with. 

Rick takes great pride in his work.  I will definitely use him again and have already mentioned his name to others.

Rick was wonderful.  Very responsive, professional, and courteous.  The furniture looks like new.

It all started when we hired cheap movers and that was a huge mistake.  My wife's mom gave us an expensive armoire around the time we got married.  The movers damaged one of the drawers in a couple different places.  Wood was shaved off in one place and the other area that was damaged was worse.   I have no knowledge of woodwoorking but I knew we were in trouble.  I called the company and they said there was nothing that they could help us with.  We needed to get it repaired and that wasn't going to be easy.  I called two professionals who are rated higher than Mr. Metz on Angie's List and one said he wouldn't touch it.  I took it to the other and he said there was no way he could do it.  He did send me in the direction of Mr Metz.  He said he was his competition but if there was someone in this area who could do it,  he could.  I took it to him and he seemed confident he could clean it up for us.  He made me feel better but I was just hoping for it to look atleast 70-80% of what it used to look like.  When I picked it up the other day I was shocked!  It looks perfect to my wife and I and we are so excited!  He is an amazing talent and I can't tell that anything ever happened.  This man is a woodworking genius and I would put him up against anyone in fixing damage furniture.  There isn't anyone in this city with this kind of talent.  I can't thank him enough and he is who you should use to fix your furniture.  I paid him extra money because what he was charging me wasn't a fair price for the work done.  We got lucky we found this man and you will be too.

Rick did an amazing job.  I wanted the table to be dark, but not an opaque black. I had a mental image in mind, but I did not think I was projecting it correctly until Rick made a sample before actually starting on my table.  His ideas were right on target.  I was impressed with his ability to make sense of my description and even more thrilled when I saw the finished product!  Absolutely beautiful!  It looks like a brand new table.
Rick was professional, courteous, and attentive to detail. He was timely in coming to look at my table, giving a quote, and delivering right as expected. I am so satisfied with the work on this table that I am trying to find other furniture for him to re-do.   I highly recommend him.

Rick did an EXCELLENT job repairing, refinishing, and modifying/updating two bedroom furniture sets (5 pieces total).  He exceeded my expectations in every area (quality, craftsmanship, and affordability).  He was able to modify the base of each piece to give them a more contemporary look and they look incredible!  The repair work to the drawers was perfect and the stain looks beautiful!  I'm thrilled we were able to salvage these"old" furniture sets and make them look contemporary and brand new!  Rick is extremely knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and affordable.  I can't wait to have two more furniture pieces redone by Rick!

excellent repair and refinish of a secretary desk.

A tall bedpost was snapped off where the top attaches to the bottom.  It had been previously repaired, but the metal rod that held it in place was frozen and I could not remove it without damaging the wood.  Mr. Metz tried to get the pieces apart for no charge, but failing that he came to the house and glued the pieces together.  Quality work for a very reasonable price.

t is on a curved piece of wood. It is probably stronger now than it was before it broke. 

Rick handled everything personally. He was very good at explaining his techniques and what he would be doing. He went above and beyond when he found things that needed adjusting/fixing that weren't apparent from looking at the table. And he didn't charge extra for that work. Our table has never looked so good nor felt so solid. He also did the work exactly within the time framework he gave us. We would have no hesitation to call on Rick for future work.

Rick Metz did a superb repair job on the six legs of my sofa.  He explained the procedure to me
beforehand.  I shall definitely call him for any furniture repairs in the future.

He came to our house, looked at it, told us he could join the two parts back together nearly without a visible seam, quoted us $125, and that's the price he eventually charged us.  He took a few weeks, but it was well worth it.  He is very enthusiastic about his work, and very professional.  I have already booked him to do another job, but there is quite a waiting list now.  I suggest getting in line early.  

My experience with them was excellent. They did a good job and did it on time. They were just fine.
