Refinished chest of drawers

I just got my piece back that TMC picked up very promptly after my free estimate in November of 2010! I was given a quote that was then reduced to about half the amount if they could take the piece away immediately. I'm aware that I got an exceptional deal but I also got a phone call about a month later saying there needed to be additional work done that would cost another $645.
After 8 months and no word about the furniture since April, I wrote a letter of complaint to the GM with no response. After leaving a voice message of complaint I received a call letting me know the piece was completed. I expressed my concerns again to Kelly the deliveries manager, about the unreasonable length of time I had to wait for my furniture to be returned to me and she took my complaint seriously and forwarded it along to Linda the Sales Rep. Linda forwarded my concerns on to Jessie who was very understanding of my unhappiness at the situation and upon my request, very generously removed the additional costs added to the original estimate.
To give credit where credit is due, the piece looks great and the refinisher did an amazing job. The quality and attention to detail is defintitely reflected in the finished product.

Refinished chest of drawers

Please take these reviews seriously. I had a nearly identical experience as the one outlined in the last review. I would never have used TMC if I had done more research.
I'm still waiting for a piece they picked up very promptly after my free estimate in November of 2010! I was given a quote that was then reduced to about half the amount if they could take the piece away immediately. Of course, it's only a one time deal and yes, it was too good to be true. I also got that phone call about a month later saying there needed to be additional work done that would cost another $645. Months went by before I even heard from anyone and this time it was about the stain I chose; apparently they didn't have the colour I chose from their sample book. I dread to think what the piece will actually look like when I finally get it back!
I wrote a letter of complaint to the GM with no response, no explaination and certainly no apology for the 8 MONTH WAIT for my piece of furniture. After leaving a voice message of complaint I received a call letting me know the piece was completed. I'm still trying to find someone who will speak to me about what's been happening for the last 8 months and as much as I'd like this resolved I am left with a piece of furniture that will only remind me of a really bad choice and the horrible experience I had with TMC. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID. Find a local refinisher in your community that you know won't try to rip you off.
