The finish was damaged, and the top was badly scratched up by years of dogs jumping up on it. When I finally decided to have it refinished, I chose Murphy's based on my daughter's experience with them, and expected them to do as good a job as possible under the circumstances, but they really exceeded my expectations -- it looks wonderful, better than it looked when I first inherited it!

We were greeted at the loading dock and my heavy chair was whisked onto a dolly and we were escorted back to the room where the work is done. BJ's has an extensive collection of fabrics and colors to choose from and they showed me some different types based on the colors and type of fabric we sought. There was a beautiful fabric that they had which was sturdy and a gorgeous shade between mauve and red and we selected that for grandmother's chair. The price was so reasonable--$120 for the fabric and $630 for the work which included disassembly of the chair to check for parts that may need replacing due to rot or damage, checking the swivel system of ball bearings, and re-filling the cushion with new foam. I was given an estimated completion date and it was done when estimated. They delivered the chair to my home (up two flights of steps) and the unveiling took place. The workmanship was outstanding! The chair looks more beautiful than ever and I think my grandmother is smiling down on us. She would be so pleased! If you have a piece of furniture you are considering getting reupholstered, you must have the talents at BJ's Upholstery perform their magic on it, you will be amazed at how good your older furniture looks with fresh upholstery. Thank you BJ's!
