I knew I couldn't just take home because the item was heavy as heck and if I took home I would put off and procrastinate. Wilson is centrally located on Washington ave north haven. Owner graciously met me downstairs, removed item from my car and took the time to inspect the item and point out the "gem" I procured as he compared my lounge to the "prefab won't-last-five-years chaise lounges of today. He asked questions on where the item will be stored (high traffic va low traffic areas of home) and when i answered he provided a plethora of fabrics to consider. Most importantly, he did NOT expect full payment that day! Whew!! What a relief. Starting a new business is expensive so not having to make full payment before work commenced made my day. Chair is absolutely a transformation. Comfortable and I can't wait to use as a prop. Love the oatmeal color I chose.

The years had not been kind to the chair, fabric needed to be replaced, padding worn and arm of the chair completely broken. Rich was great from start to finish. He was able to help us find the right fabrics and bring life back to the chair - looks good as new and still holds that antique quality they just don't make anymore! And a family heirloom should now see more generations to come. Thanks again Rich! Service and Skill are top notch. Rob

It needed a full replacement of the main zipper along with a few minor repairs. These folks are consummate professionals who clearly respect both materials and workmanship. The quality of the work is exceptional--you would never know any repair had been done. They restored the bag to its original splendor, carefully cleaning the leather and canvas while preserving the wonderful patina that only time and use can create. It's refreshing to find true craftspeople who take this level of pride in their work. I couldn't be more pleased with the result and highly recommend them for any of the services they offer.

I reached out to several book binding companies to receive approximate quotes. I received quotes ranging from $200-$400. I was in shock! I decided to reach out to one more company and that's when I found Classical Book Binding out of Stratford, CT and received the most reasonable quote. We scheduled an appointment to bring the Bible in to have the cover replaced and I got to meet both Kathy and Steadroy. They are the nicest people and had a great sense of humor. Steadroy did an amazing job as you can see from the before and after pictures. I could not believe the details he added from the gold foil lettering and design to the embossed design details both in the front and spin. He is a true professional, craftsman, and artist. Kathy was a pleasure to work with in answering my questions, scheduling our appointments, and being so understanding and sweet. I HIGHLY recommend Classical Book Binding in Stratford, CT.
