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!

How lucky I am to have found Pinocchio Furniture in Sonoma CA. When we walked in, we met a group…read moreof young men who turned out to be old masters. Their love for their work was obvious. My reason for the visit was to get their opinion on having an antique chest of drawers repaired and refinished that had belonged to my grandmother. The piece held wonderful childhood memories. Over its roughly 100-year life, however, it had become water stained, scratched, chipped, and generally well-used/abused during various family members' possession of it. We had no idea what to expect of a restoration effort. Their obvious love of wood as a medium, their knowledge & experienced skill in woodworking all lent confidence to their encouraging vision for restoration of my piece. They sent pictures of the piece after the stripping and repairs so we could really see the various woods that had been used in it's structure and and original veneer artistry and discuss how the different woods would react to staining and the potential stages of staining planned. They sent pictures again later so we could assess the initial staining effect versus what to expect if they proceeded with the additional optional staining 'halo effect' as had been applied originally - an important decision-making point of no return - an opportunity for which I was grateful to be involved. In conclusion, Sasha, the owner, delivered the finished chest ahead of the quoted ETA and I could't be happier with the result. They are truly a team of artisans, yet, thoughtful and considerate of their customers' aesthetic tastes as well as the expression of the original creator's vision. We recommend them without hesitation for wood furniture that is in need of tender loving care. Jeri

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.
