    I Purchased, a few items from Time Treasures 25+ years ago and still love them. I recently scheduled in-home furniture repair for my bedframe that was nibbled on significantly by a new puppy.. I am so happy with the results and you can not tell there was any damage whatsoever. I wish I would've reached out for this repair earlier. Highly recommend this business!!!

    Mid century modern dining chair

    I was gifted a true mid-century modern dining table and four chairs from my grandmother and grandfather back in 2014. This was the set they purchased when they got married in 1953 from the Merchandise Mart here in Chicago. Beautiful set, and 70 years old now. Needless, to say, these are a true family heirloom so when it came time to do some repairs and restoration work on the chairs, I was extremely careful to find an expert who would carefully restore these and get them ready for decades of future use. I did not take this task lightly. I couldn't be more thrilled with the work Donna and her team did on my chairs. They look better than I can even remember them as a kid, and all the structural issues from 70 years of wear and tear have been resolved. They're truly ready for many more decades of daily use to come. The team even took the time and care to treat the wood and get them looking their best. I can't say enough good things about the level of service and kindness here. If you have a cherished piece of furniture, this is the place to place your trust. I already have a few more pieces I'll be bringing in soon!

    After

    Donna and her team restored both the bentwood arms and the very old upholstery on my Thonet/Aalto armchair. I am thrilled with the skill, care, and attention poured into stripping and refinishing the wood and restuffing and upholstering the seat. I could not have imagined a more beautiful outcome, and the whole experience was delightful. Donna is lovely, highly skilled, and dedicated to her customers. She spent a lot of time thinking through what I wanted the new version of the chair to look like and the whole team was exceptionally kind and helpful. I would not go anywhere else for furniture restoration! I am so grateful and excited to have this chair back in my home!

    No dusty scuffy top on this table!
    Rachel O.

    Please go here for ANY restoration you want! Donna is top notch and has some incredible ideas as well! We brought in an entire dining room set: dining table, leaves,6 chairs, a hutch and base, as well as a sideboard. The hutch and base had water stains as you will see in the photos. The table had a kind of film from old varnish, and the sideboard had some scuffs. I don't have pictures of the chairs just yet, but the rest of my pieces are finished and so I'm posting them immediately so everyone can see what a WONDERFUL job Donna and her crew do! We also picked up a coffee table that my husband loved the legs but I didn't like the top. Since it was laminate, there's really nothing Donna could do, but she suggested restoring the base and placing a marble slab on top. Well, what a lovely improvement! I forgot to take "before" photos of that, but our coffee table is beautiful! I can't recommend Donna enough!!!

    This was my dresser before they worked their magic!
    Britt C.

    As a kid I would often snoop in my grandpa's bedroom which often included opening his dresser drawers to see what he had stored in there. I have this distinct tactile memory of what the drawer pulls felt like as I peered in each drawer to look at his socks, shirts, and keepsakes. When he died a year and a half ago I brought this dresser to live in my home. The original color was not my personal style but I wanted to keep the look and feel of my grandpa's room. So I worked with Donna at Time Treasures Restoration and Antiques to give it an updated look. I could not be happier and love it's place in our home even more now! They were reasonably priced and knew so much about the time period of this piece. I have some other family pieces I'll be bringing back to them in the coming year.

    Chairs before and the culprits that destroyed them
    Christina K.

    This place is the best, I have some mcm chairs that were destroyed by my cats. For years we've been wanting to get these chairs reupholstered but, every place we contacted wanted to break my bank. So off to the basement the chairs went until we found this place. Donna is simply the best and an artist at what she does. Her prices are the best around and very reasonable. Thank you time treasures for fixing our chairs at a great price.

    Damaged chair and original seating
    Anthony F.

    We have an older dinning room set and it got damaged. We found Time Treasures on Yelp and reached out via messenger for a quote. Donna offered me a quote in a short amount of time with photos. The quality of the repair is amazing, reasonable prices and fast. I mentioned that we would like to reupholster the chairs but didn't want to invest because the kids would just ruin it. Donna offers a great solution that is kid friendly and we couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you.

    T T did a wonderful job in restoring these vintage chairs to go with the chess table my grandfather built.   More beautiful than I expected!
    Marty G.

    Time Treasures did a wonderful job on two vintage chairs. They exceeded my expectations with their craftsmanship and efficiency. Would definitely go back with other items.

    After, with fresh fabrics and new foam
    Mignon F.

    As a designer I have a detailed eye. Donna is also a designer so it was easy to get my expectations across. She and Diego did a great job with the wing chairs I rescued from Goodwill. Look at how the fabric lays on the larger chair. Perfection! When I find my next project I am coming back here for sure

    And after/in process!
    Morgan B.

    We have been using Donna and her staff to restore our antique dining room set, and have been thrilled with the results so far. When we initially contacted her, she came out to our house to see the pieces, and then gave us a detailed estimate that was very reasonable. She and her staff are true artists-- they take the time to carefully repair and restore by hand to bring pieces back to life. Would definitely recommend this shop to anyone who is looking to restore antique furniture pieces. Great sales room too-- lots of beautiful pieces for sale.

    Donna restored my Thonet Bentwood rocking chair. Very pleased with the results. I will be giving Donna all my restoration projects in the future.

We bought a beautiful dresser three years ago for ~$1000. It had everything we wanted in our price range, enough drawers for both of us, gorgeous details on the outside, that millennial grey color that we love, no complaints. Amazing service at the store. Within a few months, one of the handles snapped off one of my drawers. Then another. Nbd, someone is giving away really good drawer pulls in my local Buy Nothing group. Problem solved. Fast forward about a year, my bottom drawer breaks on the frame. No problem, I pick up a few wood screws from a friend and repair it myself. Now, about a year later, the front panel on one of the smaller drawers has come completely off on the left side, and I can't repair it. Over the three years we've had this dresser, it has slowly been breaking down in new and frustrating ways. And though the folks who work at Nadeau are really friendly people, that "all sales final rule" can and will bite you in the butt. But hey if I ever want to become an Airbnb landlord who pays as little money as possible for instagram-pleasing furnishings, this is the place. Edit- I lived in NYC when I created my yelp account over ten years ago. I never bothered to change my location until now (probably because I didn't know that was a thing!) Nadeau messaged me saying no one from the store recalls ever speaking with me- my husband called Nadeau about the drawers. Seeing as it was several months ago that he called, and his name isn't Holly, I wouldn't expect anyone to remember the call! As I said, the person was very nice, but told us that all sales are final, and that's fine! I have nothing against the quality service of the store, my problem is with the quality of the furniture.

    Great service with a smile. The furniture is beautiful and well made with natural materials at…read moregreat prices. Go and take a look...you will find something.
