Berkeley Mills created a table for us about 15 years ago and it was looking like it had seen a few…read moretoo many dinner parties. We also got a new puppy who had scratched it (as puppies do). 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!

Since I found Gritsf on Yelp I felt the need to add my gratitude to Jamie the owner for his superb…read moreservice. My mid century bedroom suite I've owned for over 50 years was in need of restoration due to heavy sun damage to the finish. Also the wear and tear nicks and scratches. Jamie,working alone, during this pandemic continued to complete the job. He is THE MAN. He brought my mahogany bedroom back to its original "look" only better because he used a finish that provides extra protection from the sun. If you have furniture that needs repairs I would definitely email Jamie and send photos to him and he will send you an estimate. His workmanship is excellent. Alan H.

He was very kind, listened to my problem with the recliner, and went right to work. I appreciate how respectful of my home he was and how he didn't want me to lift a finger to do anything to help. He showed me the broken spring after he repaired it, made sure the recliner and sofa set were connected, left the place clean, and even allowed me to take care of a few things before putting it back together, all in a matter of 25 minutes! This is the kind of service that is genuine, founded on good moral ethics, and rare. He was absolutely worth the wait. Highly recommend!

Peter did an outstanding job repairing my Carl Hansen & Søn E005 Embrace Armchair. The chair had…read moresignificant structural damage, and because it's upholstered in leather with a fixed wood back, it was a complicated repair that couldn't simply be taken apart. He repaired it to the point where it looks almost brand new, and it's completely solid again. The craftsmanship is excellent--you'd never know how damaged it was. The turnaround was fast, the price was very fair, and he saved a $3,500 chair that I thought I'd have to replace for just a few hundred dollars. I'm really impressed with the quality of the work and would absolutely recommend Green Leaf Furniture to anyone looking to repair high-quality furniture.

We purchased an antique chest that was very fragile and needed quite a bit of restoration. We…read moreweren't sure where to begin, so we reached out to Peter. From our initial meeting, he provided a thorough scope of the work needed and offered thoughtful solutions to restore the piece. We just picked it up, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Peter treated the chest as if it were his own, and his attention to detail and craftsmanship are exceptional. We are incredibly thankful to have found someone we could trust with such a special piece. His pricing was fair, the work was completed in a timely manner and the entire experience was excellent. We would absolutely trust Peter with any future projects and highly recommend his services! For reference. The first three photos show the chest after it was completed and the last three show it before we brought it in. He performed high quality without compromising the painted exterior, adding a lot of extra support (chain and new hinges), as the old hinges were barely hanging on and also repaired the chest so that the wood is no longer separating.

Boris provided amazingly detailed consultation on the process he'd use to replace the right arm rest's broken shock mounts, but also disassemble the chair to examine if other portions may have been overly stressed such as the rear shock mounts. He also gave advise on the proper way to lift and transport the chair, the best ways to sit on and then exit the chair, and recommended the best leather cleaner conditioner for us to order. He estimated the number of days it would take to repair our 1975 Eames chair and was right on the dot! It is easy to tell that Boris is a true craftsman when it come to these Eames chairs!

No words can fully express what a MASTER furniture restorer Boris is. I had an antique dresser that…read moreI bought 40 years ago. It wasn't in the greatest shape. And I admit, I put a lot of wear and tear on it as well. The finish had many water stains, scratches, and dents but what was worse - the drawers inside were unusable. I couldn't get them open or closed. But in January 2024, I used Lugg to haul it to Boris and he transformed it into magnificence. Unbelievable. Beautiful. Fast forward to this fall, I had an antique desk that I'd picked up off the street about 20 years ago. Its finish was so bad, I just painted some ugly red marble finish over it. Many coats. Then I put glass over the top. I had it like that for 20 years. It wasn't ok, but first the glass cracked and when I tried to remove it, it stuck to the paint and wrecked the surface. Plus being near a window, there was much sun damage. So I took it to Boris and he worked his magic, restoring it to its original walnut finish. I simply cannot believe how beautiful it is. I had no idea it's wood was so nice, So in conclusion, YES, I highly recommend this business. Be willing to wait 4-6 weeks, buts what you will get back is really something to treasure. Thank you Boris!

I sent photos of the damaged area and asked for an approximate price. I completely understand that…read morethe final price can only be determined after an in-person inspection, but I just wanted a general price range to know what to expect, since I have no idea how much this type of repair normally costs. Instead of giving me even a rough estimate, they kept sending me appointment times. I explained that I'm in another city and didn't want to drive two hours without knowing whether the repair might cost $300, $500, $800, or $1,000. After I explained this, they again simply sent me available appointment times, almost like a scripted response. Unfortunately, the communication was not helpful, so I decided to look for another company.

The repairman was able to come out, he spread blankets out to cover my floor and ensure the dust wouldn't get all over the place. He estimated repairs would take about two hours, but it was done in one. He even reinforced the leg to make sure it wouldn't collapse like it had before. (It had very ambitiously been stapled into place and it's a miracle it lasted as long as it did.) He was even able to put a new dust cover into place since the previous one had gotten shredded by the leg and then my cat. There was no mess left when he was done, and he walked me through every step as he was working. 10/10, definitely recommend. I also booked an heirloom coffee table to be picked up and refinished. I cannot wait to see it come back to life like my armchair did.

Such a pleasant experience working with those two young men David and Alex…read more Very professional. Responded to my call within minutes. Came to my location next day and gave me free estimate for my dining room table. They were so busy so initially they gave me a 3 to 4 weeks window to delivery my dining table, but I got it delivered within 2 weeks. And most importantly when we saw the finished product and how perfect it was other than the great quality....I can keep going on and on but I will stop here. I will for sure use them again soon for another project in mind. And for sure I will refer people to them. Keep up the great work guys.

My wife and I have had great experiences with two other woodworkers in San Francisco, but they were…read moreunavailable for this project, so we hired SF Custom Woodworks to: 1. build a windowbox which would also function as a headboard for a bed, with built-in drawers and hinged openings for storage, made of ash veneer on plywood 2. cut a large slab desk which previously filled that window into two smaller desk slabs, to be installed elsewhere Our main contact was Alex, who was great to work with: rapidly responsive at all hours, friendly, accommodating. We were quoted $7,850. Remarkably, the windowbox was built and installed in less than a week. Unfortunately, the attention to detail in execution was poor: * the seams between the four main pieces aren't properly aligned, producing unsightly and rough-feeling edges * many of the edges were cut in a way which badly chipped the veneer * one of the hinged openings is badly misaligned, resting several mm above the surface * a drawer face was delivered with a stray drill hole * one of the main front faces was delivered with a large gouge * one of the drawers was designed to hold a CPAP machine; Alex carefully measured it, but delivered a drawer which didn't fit it * the drawer faces were attached with finishing nails rather than hidden joinery; the nail holes were then covered with poorly matching filler * the desk slabs were returned to us with gouges in the main surface, a 2" divot taken out of an edge face, and unfinished sides Alex told us that the misalignments are because our floor isn't level--which is fine, but the other two woodworkers we've worked with carefully shimmed their bases into place on-site so that everything would be level. Alex told us that finishing nails were necessary to attach the drawer faces, but another woodworker who built ash veneer cabinets for us produced beautiful results with hidden joinery. We sent Alex a list of 13 issues with photos; Alex gamely told us that he'd send one of his woodworkers to fix all but one issue. After a month delay with several reschedulings on both sides, the woodworker came. He fixed the two issues with the desk slabs, but in the process he also partially removed its surface finish, without comment and without offering to refinish it. He said he didn't know how to fix the other issues, and we were left with unfinished desks we still couldn't install. At this point, Alex stopped responding to messages. I gave up and refinished the desk slabs myself, which took about five hours. We planned to put a cushion on half the windowbox and leave the other half exposed, to enjoy the wood tone, but because the execution quality on the windowbox was poor, we decided to cover the whole thing with cushions instead. They meant well, I think, and they really did try. They did deliver roughly the windowbox we wanted, though with a low level of craftsmanship. I think they just don't have the skills/experience needed to execute this project well, and we didn't realize that before hiring them.
