    Emergency Furniture Repair / Restoration Service

    Exceptionally Good Work at Reasonable Price

    Exceptionally great work done by Gentleman Miguel for restoring our wobbly unstable set of dining chairs to the original condition. The re-upholstery done was with a better matching colour and quality of the original upholstery that gave a very pleasant look. I would strongly recommend Miguel for any repairs and restoration work of antique or normal furniture. The entire job was done at the most reasonable price and within a short period of time. Many Thanks Miguel for your courtesy of coming twice to collect the chairs for repairs so we could have 3 chairs for dinner out of set of 6 chairs

    Repair hessian and re lacquer old wooden chair

    Miguel was very prompt and clear in responding to my request and then follow up questions and then the pick up process to get the chair and return it, was straightforward. In terms of the quality of work, the chair looks great and we’re really happy we did this with Miguel and the team.
