Perfection, professional, courteous and reasonable are a few words that come to mind in describing…read moremy experience with Classic Furniture Works. Mike McDowell went above and beyond to ensure perfection and that every detail was to my exact liking. There was an immediate rapport as I explained how the one-of-a-kind coffee table I designed more than forty years ago while attending university in Tallahassee and how I found the planks of cherry wood to use in building it at a small sawmill near Whigham (GA). Although I was able to create the legs, I had no idea how to assemble the design. To my surprise, my father showed up one day at my apartment with the completed table. He was just that kind of guy--part of the Greatest Generation, fought in some the worst parts of the Battle of the Bulge, and went on to serve more than fifty years in public education. People and things have come and gone through the years, but the table remained with me as I traveled across the country and around the world. My most recent move to Bel Air (MD) did not break the table, but at long last, there were enough marks and dents that could justify turning it into kindling. Mr. McDowell intently listened as I explained how the table was not perfectly square. My father also added braces that were not part of the original design. Mr. McDowell assured me the table could be preserved and asked to study it before offering to provide an estimate. I soon heard back from Mr. McDowell with a detailed description of what would be required to restore and also achieve the original design. He never rushed nor did he try to speed through the restoration. He took his time to make sure his work reflected the high quality and precision of his craft. I also received periodic updates from him at each step of the process. The finished restoration is now indeed the work of art that my father and I originally envisioned more than four decades ago. I feel very fortunate to have connected with Mr. McDowell to restore this table, which for me holds a sentimental value. I highly recommend Classic Furniture Works to anyone who wants to restore a fixture they feel is precious and irreplaceable.

Coyle Studios allowed me to feel comfortable from the moment I walked through the door and felt the hospitality of the unique space that the photo studio is operated out of. I was greeted with conversation and interest in who I am. This made me feel comfortable about having my picture taken by a stranger. This allowed the photographer to get the best photo out of me for my company's website and marketing purposes. I would highly recommend this studio and look forward to the next opportunity to visit the studio. So that you know this is a real review, one suggestion that I have is a clear sign to indicate where clients can park. I wish them all my best.

Nations said "they were the only ones they knew who could do what I needed". They were a bit hard to find ... in an old house that looks out of place in its Towson neighborhood. But once there Brynn and Mary Lou treated me great, did everything I needed, and the quality of their work far exceeded my expectations. They explained processes, showed me problems I didn't know I had, and fixed them. Even rushed completion so I could take pics back to a High School Football Championship Team reunion. There ... now you know my motives. And they produced wonderful photos that look new, from sources that are over 40 years old!

I cannot begin to describe how happy I am with their work! I had gone to them before for a jersey to be framed, which they did a phenomenal job on, but this past holiday season, I had cause to take several pieces at once. Ed took the time to go over my framing options, from the frame itself, to the matting, to the glass. He worked with me until we found something that was exactly what I was looking for. He was not afraid to give me his opinion, either, which I very much appreciated and agreed with. He was able to push out two of the pieces in time for the holidays, despite my late start (about two weeks out, probably less). He also transformed two art poster prints into new works of art themselves. We had received a poster print of 'Nighthawks' and the 'Tournée le Chat Noir' over the past two holidays from my parents, but neither really fit into a standard size frame. Ed and I found very agreeable frames that perfectly matched, accentuated, and enhanced each one into something higher than it was. I couldn't be more elated by how everything turned out. They are very professional, reasonable in cost, and highly trustworthy with the materials. You can bet that I will be taking future framing projects here, along with sending all of my friends and family there, too. Thank you so much for your outstanding craftsmanship, and I look forward to working with you more in the future!

Ed takes much pride in his work and is always willing to go the extra mile to make you happy - and provides great suggestions if you're not quite sure what you're looking for! I highly recommend Framing Palace as well as Glen Burnie Custom Framing (their original location) to anyone looking for quality work and attention to detail.

Bottom line: reasonable costs coupled with professional, high standards and backed with expert craftsmanship.
