We've been collecting mid century modern furniture for our new home, and Carolina Furniture…read moreRestoration has become our absolute go to for bringing these pieces back to life. They restored our Merton Gershun Accord bedroom set, which we sourced from different vendors. The nightstands, dresser, and mirror were in decent shape, but the headboard was in a bit rougher shape. Now every single piece looks cohesive, flawless, and honestly better than we ever imagined. We also brought them a 1969 Lane coffee table we found on Facebook Marketplace. It had water stains, uneven legs, and plenty of wear. Brian worked his magic, and it came back looking like a showpiece. It is perfectly restored, structurally solid, and visually stunning. On top of that, we purchased unfinished wood bedframes and had them tone and color matched to our MCM sets. The match is spot on !!!! You'd never know they weren't part of the original collection. Their attention to detail is incredible, pricing is excellent, craftsmanship is outstanding, and communication/responsiveness is top tier. They keep you in the loop with pictures of the restoration process. They're also refreshingly no nonsense and genuinely do right by you. They explain exactly what needs to be done and why. While other places gave quotes based on photos, Brian actually came out to our storage locker to inspect everything firsthand so he could give an accurate assessment. Brian was more than happy to help us decide on our furniture purchases. We had seen two headboards for our Gerhsun set on ebay at vastly different price points. Both would have needed to be restored, though one looked in a bit worse shape than the other. Brian expertly steered us to purchasing what we needed and saved us significant cash. One final thing, is Carolina Furniture restoration is able to accommodate tight timelines without sacrificing quality. Carolina Furniture Restoration is the real deal. They are skilled, honest, and passionate about their craft. We couldn't recommend them more highly.

He did find the hinges I needed for the doors on a dresser even though the dresser old. He put them in but did not show me till after that he had to remove some wood pieces on side to get the hinges to fit. It looks bad but will look better when I stain exposed areas. My one major complaint is that one door is perfect and closes well. The other door is slightly off - when I close it rubs against the side of the dresser. In closing it has actually "shaved" off some of the wood on the door. I will have to sand the door to keep it from rubbing on the side of the dresser

TAKE MY ADVICE AND DON'T USE THIS VENDOR. THE QUALITY OF THE WORK WAS AWFUL AND THEY ARE DISHONEST…read more I took them to small claims court and the judge ordered them to pay me $500. They didn't pay and are now in violation of a court order. I brought in three upholstered chairs and a sofa to be recovered, based on a referral and Yelp. One of the chairs was returned and curved piece of wood that formed the leg and the chair fell off the first time I tried to pick it up to move it. The the cover for the back was crooked and Raphael said he didn't know how to fix it. I got out some pins and showed him how it could be done. He took it to fix it and I haven't seen it since. The fabric around that arm was puckered, but he used so much glue to reattach it I'm afraid the if I try to have the wood removed it will destroy the chair. I had 2 other upholstered chairs. First the back covers were to small, then they were too big, then they were different lengths. The biggest problem was the sofa. Thsere were numerous problems. Every time I pointed out a problem Rafael would say, "That's a problem and it should be fixed." The cushions hung out 4" beyond the frame and beige zippers were used with dark grey fabric. He explained that the overhand happened because the stuffing should have been replaced. I told him that since I'm not a professional, I took his word for what was causing the problem. I asked why the people working on the piece hadn't told me about this problem, because if they had I would have immediately authorized them to replace the foam. He said some of the people who do the work are better than others, and my work had been done by the less competent people. I asked if he could have the better qualified people redo the work. He said this was not possible because the more competent people wouldn't work on jobs that other people had not done properly. I asked if this meant that the furniture would be given back to the people who had already worked on my furniture, and he said, "yes". I then asked why they would do a better job this time and he had no answer. It didn't make sense to me that if the people who had messed up the job originally would magically do a better job now. No answer. During this period, I had numerous conversations with his customer service person. Almost every time I called her, she told me that she understood my problem but couldn't reach the boss who would make the decision. She also told me that I was a patient, reasonable person and she was sorry she couldn't help me better. Eventually, in November, the customer service person told me that the boss had agreed that he pay for me to have the piece recovered some place else. At this point I had to buy new fabric and find another company to do the work. Once the work was complete, I submitted copies of the invoices for the fabric and the work and followed up with 2 calls last week. NO RESPONSE. By the dates on the emails, you can see this continued for over 5 months. I AM TRYING TO TAKE THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT, BUT THEY ARE IGNORING SUBPOENAS. I AM OUT AMOST $3,000.

I wanted to have my beach cottage ready for the summer. I was told it would be 4 - 6 weeks. I called weekly after that. Excuse after excuse. I also brought in an authentic mid- centry setee on February 4th. Again I was told it would be 4 - 6 weeks. This week, I picked up both on October 4th. I was working with Tom. He has now retired, my guess, after all his screwups. Once I picked up my orders, Cindy was now in charge and could find my settee and fabric. That took another couple of weeks. I had to send pictures. Cindy didn't want to attach blame, but I was totally screwed. Not only did I call, but I also went in. Tom would tell me I was next. I asked Cindy was the only January or February order, and she said I was by far the last one received. I'm a nice person. I keep playing over and over again what I did to piss Tom off. Then I realized it was b/c I WAS nice, and he could get away with me. I didn't want to be firm for fear they would screw me over. Who knew, being nice did exactly what I was trying to avoid! Maybe it will be better with Cindy, but I have no intention of giving them any more of my business!
