Dark pine table and chairs restoration

Our table and chairs had 40 years worth of chips, dents, wear and a huge water mark. The glue on the chairs had dried out and the chairs were no longer safe to sit on.
TMC Restoration reglued all joints on the table and chairs so they are now sturdy. They don’t creak or make any noise when you sit on them.
TMC also completely restored all of the chairs and the table. No more chips or dents and the large water Mark was completely removed. I had them change the colour of the table and chairs to match our hardwood floors. The colour match was perfect. That couldn’t have been easy with the furniture made of pine and the floors made of oak.
They completed the work about one month earlier than expected and we couldn’t be happier with their work. The table and chairs will now look great for the rest of our lives.
Their work isn’t cheap, but we thought it was reasonable once the process was explained to us. The quality of the workmanship is first rate and well worth the investment. Don’t settle for a cheaper solution. Listen to how TMC does everything by hand and you will realize how valuable their service is.
It is very hard to find new furniture with the quality and workmanship available 40 years ago so if the furniture has been in your family for a while. or is treasured, trust TMC.

Thanks for the detailed review. You're right - some orders require extra attention but our goal is to make you happy. And it sounds like we did! Complete restoration can seem expensive up front, but over the long term it is the economical & sustainable choice. Your furniture truly was built to last, meaning it stands up to restoration because each component is solid & the overall design allows for it to be pulled apart & put back together. New furniture - even high-end new furniture - cannot stand up to such treatment. Enjoy!

Furniture re-upholstery

We had a three-seater leather couch and a tub chair re-upholstered. The fabrics were great. The work was done in the time frame they said it would be. We are very happy with the service and the outcome. The furniture is very good quality and thus worth the cost to re-upholster.

Thanks for the excellent review Karen. We strive to carry the widest fabric selection in the industry. High quality furniture (like yours) is definitely worth restoring. One visit to a furniture store is usually all it takes to convince someone that older is better!

Sette re-upholstering

Work was well done - took awhile but was reasonably close to time estimate - only criticisms are that they are pricey (for quality work, granted) and seem to still apply a door to door salesman approach/markup & seem to have a routine approach of trying to "upsell" (re. stain guard) before delivery (even in my case, when I had already agreed to pay for that at the outset - they did not seem to know that...).

recover & rebuild loveseat & 2 chairs

Work was very good and furniture looked great. Teak wood was not damaged which was wonderful. Once at home realized stain in loveseat & called immediately. Resolution has taken longer than I hoped & we are still with a stained sofa. Getting an order was much quicker than resolving a problem & we paid in good faith and so far the same isn't on the issue we have. Brand new material on furniture that hasn't even been sat on has already been rubbed with stain remover many times & now is going to be steam cleaned leaves me most unhappy. Being told the stain remover used removes everything & if it doesn't nothing will & then being told by someone else that steam cleaning will fix it is not what you expect to hear when you spend over $18,000.00. Right now we are most unhappy.

Hello Diane. Now that the piece has been retrieved and re-delivered to you, it has been determined that the item in question was never stained. The fabric you selected features an irregular weave. This means that there are visible variations in texture that manifest as dark spots in certain lighting. Several members of our team closely examined the portion of fabric that you attempted to clean and agreed that steam cleaning was the best and only solution to even out the blotting that occurred in your home. We trust that this issue is resolved and that your are satisfied with the outcome.

Wing back chair reupholstered

I am so disappointed with this company. I was promised the chair for Christmas Day. It was delivered in Jan. They had my chair since Sept 22.
I want my old chair back. It is not comfortable. The seat cushion is so hard no one sits in it. They changed the design of the chair. The chair is a wing back rocker and they added their flare to it. I paid close to $3,000. For a chair I hate. If lean back in the chair you get to look at the ceiling. They did take $100:off Big deal. Now waiting to hear what the solution is going to be . The upholstery is excellent. I put stop payment on my visa.
To add insult to injury the guys who delivered it left the plastic wrapping on my front lawn.
The Owner needs to step up to the plate.

Hello Wendy,

Again, we apologize for failing to meet our original delivery date.

Your chair is back at our facility & we are making a determined effort to address each of your complaints. Be assured that every effort was made to honor your original wishes in connection with this piece. We state in our pocket guide that is left with every customer: “Expect it to feel firm – even hard – compared to the way it used to feel when you sit on it. Regardless of density, the premium foam we use will take approximately 6 months of normal use to soften without losing its shape.” So our anticipation is that if we replace the existing foam with something softer (which is what you are requesting), it will become too soft for your liking in less than 12 months. Decades of experience has also taught us that finished pieces rarely look or feel exactly the way they are expected to upon delivery. The majority of our customers are more than impressed with the transformation.

However, we are committed to making things right. We will contact you once your chair has been modified.

Refinishing of family dining room table

The table has been in the family for approximately 80 yrs. When my father passed away I thought I would like to get it refurbished and give it to my sister.
I didn't want it to look new, I wanted it to retain its character the people TMC understood and kept in contact throughout the process which was lenthy due to the scroll work on the skirt and legs.
I'm more than happy with the results and the table which was getting to be a little loose and wobbly is now ready for another 80 yrs.
Thanks for everything

You are SO welcome Glenn. We love receiving feedback like this! Aside from the technical side of what we do, it's the stories behind the furniture we restore that truly makes it all worthwhile. And you're right - the table will last another 80 years because furniture from that era was designed & constructed to last for hundreds of years. You & your family made a very wise investment. Thanks for taking the time to post this review.
