If reclaimed wood had a Disneyland, it would be E&K Vintage Wood…read more I used to practically live at their old Venice Boulevard location and bought enough reclaimed wood there to build a small village (or at least dozens of my art pieces that people now think I'm way more talented than I am). So walking into the new location -- nine years in and thriving -- felt like coming home, but with even better lighting and more wood species than my inner lumber nerd could emotionally process. The selection? Unreal. Every plank has a backstory. You don't just buy wood here -- you adopt it. And Jean? Absolute legend. So kind, so knowledgeable, and somehow magically able to translate my chaotic "I need something rustic but not too rustic but also dramatic" rambling into exactly what I needed -- right under deadline pressure. Even my Frenchie, Sage -- who wakes up angry every morning and would take a bazooka to a fistfight -- adored her. If Sage approves, that's basically a Michelin star. I walked out with the perfect pieces, my deadline intact, and zero splinters to my dignity. I will absolutely be back for more. Because let's be honest... once you find good wood, you stick with it. (Respectfully.)

Since then, I have been assigned a claims representative from the freight companh who has been unresponsive and provides only vague, noncommittal replies. At this point, it has been 76 days with no resolution, no clear path forward, and no accountability. The value of the damaged materials exceeds $8,500, and the lack of action has caused significant delays and disruption to our project. E&K has done nothing to help with a solution and could care less. This situation is unacceptable.

They were easy to work with and extremely quick turnaround time...we even went out to their shop to inspect it before we committed to having them refinish our desk. Their shop was spotless and they had a number of items to inspect and that is what sealed the deal for us is that their shop was spotless and very nice things they were working on. They also came and picked up the desk and delivered it back here as well... this was a risk for us because we had reached out to a handful of companies a couple years ago and looked at their work online and was just not happy with their work. If you are in the market for having some furniture refinished, we strongly recommend Heredia Antiques.

She understood exactly what I was looking for and what I was capable of taking care of. She had me stay away from ones that need a lot of work and the tiny ones that I wouldn't be able to do much trimming/training with. She was very transparent with the pricing and persuaded me not to spend as much as I had originally planned on. She helped me find my perfect tree, told me all about how to care for it, all that I could do it, and shared great stories throughout the visit as well. I would make the hour drive back just to hang out with Tweety again!

Thought the quote was a good price until I picked them up in Anaheim and realized he only gave me a quote for lowers despite uppers being in the layout. Went back inside and purchased the uppers just to finish my semi-diy project at my rental property. After assembling, I realized he gave me the wrong dimensions on some cabinets. Went back and showed him the email with the dimensions I approved and he realized he made an error on his end but would not honor a return or credit. Will NOT be back for flooring and future projects!

He is reasonably priced and you can be sure you will not be disappointed with the results!
