  • Restoring and French polishing waiter table

    10Verified Review

    Barry delivered the third item over the weekend. It was a waiter's table that was badly in need of restoration, Once again we were delighted at the results and it looks as it did when it first came into our family 40 years ago. His work is of such high standard that I have no problem recommending him. Our next project will be restoring a mahogany dining table which I will entrust to Barry, we are so sure it will be in good hands.

    I cannot recommend Barry enough. I was so thrilled with the renovation of my tables I have given him another today and we are thinking about renewing the finish on the dining table. I have every confidence in Barry, his work is first class.
