We tried to redo it ourselves, but we made it worse. So we decided to turn to experts and brought the table into John at Ciarlo Brothers. These guys are fantastic, the table that they returned looked better than the Berkeley Mills original (and that says a lot as they were a pretty great shop). True artists at refinishing!

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.

Arsen Karapetyan I…read morehad a great experience with Arsen Karapetyan for furniture repair. He repaired two of our mechanical chairs, replacing the motor and switches quickly and efficiently. He was able to diagnose the problem right away, explained everything clearly, and got the job done without any hassle. He was very friendly, professional, and made sure everything was left clean and organized before he left. It's hard to find someone reliable for furniture repair, and I would absolutely recommend Arsen to anyone needing help with recliners or mechanical chairs.

I found Giorgio when I opened a yelp project ticket, hoping that I would find someone out there who…read morecould help me restore a simple garden bench that is very special to me. The bench was purchased by my mother, probably around 40 years ago, and was in her huge backyard and garden. She had 5 benches, and 5 kids, and this one was mine after she passed in 2011. Over the years I have had it refinished, but time took a toll on the structure of it. Replacing it with a new bench did not seem satisfying- how could I discard this precious (to me) piece of history that contained so many memories of my mother and her beautiful yard? Giorgio came out and took a look, (remember he is a fine antique restorer) and he said he would like to take on the project. The price was more than I thought it would be, (way more than a new bench), but he explained that he would have to replace all of the wood, all of the hardware and restabilize the bench. It would take approximately 1 month, taking it to his studio. I agreed. He took the bench away in pieces. The old bench was oak, and he we went over options for replacement and settled on heat treated ash, an enduring high-quality choice that would have a similar look to the original oak. Giorgio delivered the bench back to my San Francisco yard. I was so happy! The quality craftsmanship of Giorgio Di Costanzo filled that bench with the magic of my mother's memory to be enjoyed for years to come.

I'll post the photos on their main site as this review doesn't have the option. I highly recommend Marin Furniture Clinic.

I rarely recommend commercial entities because I feel like you never know, however Marin Furniture Clinic has changed my mind just this once.

Exactly two weeks later, right on-time, they returned to deliver the tables in perfect condition, they look brand new!
