I brought in several kitchen knives and cleavers, and the transformation was remarkable. The blades came back perfectly sharpened and balanced, gliding effortlessly through ingredients. Food preparation is now smoother, faster, and much more enjoyable thanks to the precision of their work. It's clear they take pride in their craft and pay attention to every detail. If you value quality tools in the kitchen, I highly recommend their knife sharpening service. My knives haven't performed this well in years!

I tell the guy I want the knives sharpened and ready for pickup that afternoon. Simple enough, right? Wrong. He informs me they ship the knives off to New York, and it takes 2-3 weeks. Weeks. Because clearly, these knives must undergo a spiritual journey before they're deemed worthy of being sharp again. I explain they aren't *that* dull and ask if they can just sharpen them in-house. He says they can--oh, but not the serrated knives, can opener, or scissors. Sure, no problem. I'll take those magical items home and entrust him with just the straight edges. Then he drops another gem: they can "touch up" the knives. Fine by me, as long as I get them back in the afternoon. But wait! Plot twist--he suddenly claims it'll take 2-3 *days* because they "have an event." An event? Are the knives the keynote speakers? Because the store was as empty as my patience at that point. I looked around, saw no sign of this mysterious "event," and finally hit my limit. I stormed out, muttering about how I'd apparently wandered into the Theater of the Absurd. Honestly, what a circus.

He said he would do a "tune up" and the cost would be $140. When I picked it up, he had run drywall screw into the top of the air filter housing to stop the choke from closing all the way. (To compensate for a dirty carb that he did not address). So for $140, I got a new spark plug, he did not even change the air filter because I had recently done that, and he sharpened the blade. I used the mower a couple of times and it was still surging and down on power. I called him back and his reply was it was outside the 30 day warranty. I took it to Southside Hardware on 6401 Hampton 314-351-0204 and explained my situation to Steve. He stated he would remove the carb and thoroughly clean it, which is the root cause of the surge.

We recently had 3 mid-century pieces recovered here. Tim and his team were incredibly easy to work…read morewith. He's friendly, honest and keeps his promises. He kept us in the loop about when he would get started and return our items and was genuinely interested in our satisfaction. Unlike another shop we called that couldn't even get to us for 3-4 months, this shop's lead time was only about a month. We already have our completed pieces back about two months before the other place could have started our project. He does make you buy fabric through him but having worked with an upholsterer before who let me source my own, I actually prefer Tim's method. Unless you're in the trade, you probably don't know how to judge whether you're picking something appropriate for your needs or not. Ordering through the shop, you know you're getting something these craftspeople are willing to stand behind. (Side note: He carries the same fabric line Joybird uses. I was able to match up several of my existing Joybird samples to his books and ended up using one of them on our project.) He will also pick up and deliver your pieces back home. There was one minor snafu when they were bringing one of the pieces into the house that resulted in some minor but very repairable damage. Tim brought his carpenter along with a bunch of tools to our house and fixed it on site. He clearly felt worse about this happening than we did. What matters most is that it was addressed in a timely fashion. It's nice to find someone in any trade who actually cares about doing good quality work. All of our pieces got new (and very needed) fabric, foam and padding. Two of the three got brand new legs and the carpenter had to add supports for them to the frames. The other piece got its original legs re-stained - which was badly needed. The shop retained original details as requested. When I am ready to have other pieces in my home done, I will gladly send them back here. My only "complaint" is that I'm still trying to adjust to my ratty old broken down furniture feeling so new. :)

Forty minutes later I arrive at the place and they were closed, even though their website says they are open on Thursdays. Turns out, this place is in a run down area of town that when you exit your vehicle, you definitely want to be aware of your surroundings. The store front was all dirty and dusty. Could hardly see thru the glass with all the dirt. Quite frankly, after seeing where they were located and the condition of their store front, I was kind of glad they were closed. What kind of business says they are open for business but actually they are not.
