There are a few
things to remember when shopping for someone to restore repair your
beautiful or “not so beautiful” furniture.
Remember that you are
buying art, not a consumer product. The price you pay may have
nothing to do with the quality of furniture restoration, repair or
refinishing you get.
How long has someone been
in furniture restoration? Experience is everything in this line of work.
Almost everything that is done is custom work and every piece has
something special about it that only experience can tell one how to
handle.
In furniture restoration
one develops the skill and ability to do whatever comes up. There is no book or
class that can teach this trade. Experience is the classroom.
Always go to the potential
craftsman’s shop and check out his work first hand. Anybody can sound
good on the phone. I will be glad to compare what I do with anyone
within 200 miles of Memphis TN.
