Arley from Furniture & Repairs did a fantastic job. You can tell right away that he really knows…read morehis craft. He took the time to explain what needed to be done and clearly takes a lot of pride in the quality of his work. On top of that, he's just a very personable guy and easy to work with. It's refreshing to meet someone who still approaches their work like a true craftsman instead of just rushing through the job. The repair turned out great, and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. I'd absolutely recommend Arley to anyone who needs furniture repaired or restored. It's getting harder to find people who care this much about doing things the right way.

Both were done as what we had heard about Pinocchio Furniture Restoration - the work was done by true craftsmen. They didn't just "do it" what they did was to "do it RIGHT." It's only about 30 mins from our house in Petaluma. The challenge is FINDING the place the first time. I think that using Apple or Google maps needs to be accented by talking to the folks at Pinocchio to find out how to do it. we just followed Google, but didn't get there and had to ask a worker working outside his place of business and said we took the wrong driveway. And when we did that we saw a sign that pointed to where Pinocchio was. We had a good laugh! And didn't have a problem when we returned to pick up the chair!

My wife and I took on the project of restoring our turn of the century Victorian home. All the…read moreoriginal features had been removed over the years but we found artifacts of the original porch buried under the house. We also discovered a period photo of the home and porch. We wanted to restore the home as historically accurately as possible. With artifacts and photo in hand we visited Philip at Nereo woodworking. The posts, railing and other porch components that Nereo woodworking made for us were beautiful and accurately reproductions of the 120 year old pieces. We were so pleased with the quality of the work that when we needed other trim pieces for our restoration we didn't hesitate to call on Philip Nereo.

He has been doing antique furniture restoration for 50 years and really knows his craft! He communicated well during the restoration process and sent update pictures.

His final price was reasonable for the amount of work our antique furniture required. Thankful we didn't have to take them to the city for restoration!

One item - a Hammond B-3 organ cabinet, was a wreck from years of on the road touring around the world. Jamie restored it to pristine condition. He repaired smashed moldings and fixed numerous gouges, scratches and dents. The other item was a speaker cabinet. Although it was in better shape, it was 40 years old and was showing signs of wear and tear. Jamie did a beautiful job with both. I recommend him and his shop wholeheartedly and enthusiastically.

We had had them…read morereupholstered about 25 years ago but it wasn't done very well and the brown velvet was looking pretty sad. We looked to buy new chairs but ultimately, we couldn't say goodbye to these beauties so decided to invest in getting them reupholstered again.

Fatima and Edwin were both great helping us decide on fabric and talking us through the process. The craftsmanship of the finished chairs is impeccable.

What an interesting shop located at the Menlo Park Allied Gardens. I was with some colleagues in…read morethat area and the old school wood shop attracted me to go inside and take a look. I saw a lot of old chairs hanging in the ceiling, which I thought were acting as decoration. The owner/carpenter/artist/craftsman (that also looks like an actor in my opinion) told me that the chairs were in repair after some fires have destroyed so much furniture of a client and he was actually repairing them to their original state. I saw all the tools, the space, some pieces being repaired and the work of love. I have nothing to repair (after all I am an Ikea girl), but surely this shop is worth a visit even as a 'museum' of manual woodshop work.

He also stained some faded baseboard, a damaged interior threshold, and repaired a piano hinge (completely pulled off) for a large teak desk. Work was high quality and efficient (in-house work). I sourced the wood myself. For scheduling, I'd give four-minus stars. It's a bit tentative and "off" at times, but once a date was (finally) nailed, the appt was on time. I'd go to them again for work (and well might, since I have a lot of wood at my small place).
