I did not know Jim, nor was I referred to him. I read about his business and background ( his…read more"story"), talked to him at length, and decided to give it a shot. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate Jim and the quality of his work at least a 15. Jim sent me photos, of the various stages of the restoration, on a regular basis, just to keep me in the loop. And, the job was done without any excuses or delay. I also saw some of his other projects in his workshop ~ his work is just excellent! Jim is a fine, upstanding person, who sincerely cares about what he is doing. I gladly, and highly, recommend him to anyone looking to do a restoration/refinishing project. I couldn't be happier with the results (as the photos show).

I had the pleasure of using the The Furniture Shop for a small antique coffee table I recently…read moreinherited, which is very sentimental to me. My plan was to use this coffee table as a bench at the end of the bed, however it was very wobbly, not sturdy enough to be sat on, and had at least a 5" crack in the middle of one of the legs. I contacted Jim via email and sent pictures, to which he replied to promptly and provided a rough estimate.... so I made an appointment to bring it in. Jim is both a gentleman, who was a pleasure to deal with, and an expert craftsman, who has 28 years experience in both furniture repair and upholstery. He knows his stuff! His shop was absolutely immaculate and he was both kind and easy to talk to. Top notch customer service :) 4 days later my table was ready! Apparently, it required pretty much an entire deconstruct of the second shelf and all the legs, regluing and reinforcing all interior dowels and then reassembly. The cracked table leg? I couldn't even notice it was repaired! I'm thrilled to have my treasured sentimental table back with the ability to use it in more functional manner as a bench for the end of the bed! I would absolutely recommend Jim to anyone who needs furniture repaired. Overall it was a top notch experience in every way.

The cross bar on the bottom of one of the chairs had separated, but I did not realize it. My husband sat on the chair and the leg broke off, splintering as it did. The cross bar broke in half. I looked up furniture repair services, and this was the only one within an hour of me. I called and talked to a very nice man. He encouraged me to bring the chair, and it would be fixed. I made the hour drive, and the owner was waiting outside for me to assist me in getting the chair out of my car. He told me he would be done in about a week. I called about a week and half later, to ensure he had enough time to complete the work. He assured me that my chair was ready and done just as I had asked. When I returned to pick up the chair, he was again waiting for me. I was overjoyed at the quality of his work! It was like a brand new chair -- and when I gave it to him, it looked like it was ready for the trash. His price was very reasonable. I cannot give a higher recommendation if you are looking for furniture repair or restoration...absolutely the best!

Hello people. Some bad news here as to the scam I…read moreexperienced. Rashidi had two pieces of mine, a small chair and a console. I was told they were done. I went to pick up both pieces. When I got there, the chair was in pieces and I was told it was beyond repair. He did not tell me this ahead of time before I got there. The console was to have a new solid oak top replaced. He showed me a piece of wood he had in the shop as an example of what he would use. He did not use that. He put on pieces of non-uniform, mismatched veneer. Not solid oak as per the contract. There were other small details in the contract, e.g. nail holes to be filled and a loose drawer to be fixed. These were not attended to at all. The back of the legs, which granted you can not see, were not finished. He has not made good on a promise to replace the top and fix details. Update June 13, 2026: I was there today and the owner has now promised to do the repairs on the console.
