The whole crew at Time Treasures has been GREAT!!! We had picked up chairs at a second hand store for a great price, not knowing how much it would cost to get them re-upholstered....Am I glad that we found Donna and her crew at Time Treasures. They were extremely fair in their pricing and they had no problem letting us use our own fabric that was bought somewhere else. The craftsmanship is top notch and my wife and I are extremely happy with the end result. I would highly recommend Donna and her crew and will always refer anyone I know that needs furniture restoration to her and her team. Thank you for our new to us chairs!!!! read more

Donna and her team refurbished an old piece from my grandparents and I could not be happier. It needed major love and Donna did an amazing job. Reasonable price, time it took, and awesome experience. Thank you, Donna! read more

Wow, wow, wow, wow and wow!!! The quality of the materials, coupled with the price-point and the finished workmanship, is 5-stars worthy. Here is my story and review. We decided to bring in our dining room chairs and have them reupholstered since they were starting to look a bit shabby (and I don't mean chic 'N shabby -- just plain shit 'N shabby). I didn't want to throw away the chairs, because they are sturdy pieces and made of very high quality dark cherry wood. We really like our dining room set because it is in the classic Frank Lloyd Wright style. Time Treasures did a fantastic job on the chairs and even fixed one of the legs that had a few mild scratches. The stain was perfectly matched. The upholstery is beautiful, and it is very nice quality. The cushion for the chairs is very comfortable, super thick and provides great support (so much better than before). Our dining room table and chairs are about 12-years old, but because the pieces are simple with classic lines, it will never go "out" of style. This is another reason why I refuse to get rid of the table and chairs. We plan to bring in our dining room table because it has a few scratches on the top and we would like to have these removed (even if it means stripping it down to the bare wood). We know they will do an excellent job, because they did a 10-star job on our dining room chairs. My niece moved in with us to attend graduate school and she brought along her tuxedo cat, which we adore. Her cat, Brooklyn, is very sweet. She gets along great with our dog, Annie, and now they are BFF's! However, Brooklyn fell in love with our dining room chairs. She used to sleep on one of them, but I guess that wasn't enough for Brooklyn, so she converted the chairs into her own personal scratching post. She scratched up the upholstery on our chairs that they started looking like a bargain raggedy chair from a second-hand store. Really awful! I am glad I read the reviews on Yelp, because we shopped around and got different estimates and this place not only did a fantastic job, but the cost was a lot less than the other estimates that we obtained. We actually took in two chairs at a time (we have 4 chairs for our dining table) and the turn-around time was amazingly what they promised. One week for both chairs, but we got them back in 4-days. Bonus! I highly recommend this place if you are seeking to have upholstery replaced on chairs or sofa or if you need any piece of furniture refinished (make sure it is "real" wood and not faux wood finish). The chairs are super comfortable, look brand new, and the support is ethereal. Sweet Baby Jesus -- come to mama -- now put that junk in your trunk on the new chairs. Aaaaahhhhh! read more

I am a repeat customer for Time Treasures Furniture Refinishing and Upholstery. I run a small business that includes bed and breakfasts/vacation rentals. I had a table and buffet that were burned, scratched, scorched, water stained, and simply mistreated. I agonized over investing more money into what I think are adorable pieces. Since TTA did such a fabulous job reupholstering a set of older dining room chairs, I did not want to go anywhere else. I researched options to protect the surfaces after refinishing and found a reasonably priced option. Because these are used in the business, I did not have a lot of time between bookings to get the job done. TTA was fabulous and accepted my pieces right away and they met the timeframe they promised me. The pieces look fabulous and they really help my business add a warm, more unique touch. I will continue to be a repeat customer! They are customer oriented and do detailed work. I am very picky as I've worked with designers before venturing into my own business. I can say with confidence that their work is consistently wonderful. If I can, I will upload pictures. read more

We found Time Treasures on yelp, and are we ever glad we did! We can't say enough nice things about Anna, Donna, Arthur and their team...We gave them 6 rather worn Chinese Chippendale dining chairs to restore, refinish and reupholster. Donna and Arthur picked up our chairs, gave us expert advice, and returned them, transformed into like-new condition. Beautiful! They even came back and retouched a few spots, no questions asked! If you're hunting for a great local refinisher/re-upholsterer, you've found a "treasure" right here! read more

I recently had them refinish a the top of a planked island for me. They were prompt in their request for a quote, reasonable in the price to refinish, and when I dropped it off it was finished in a week. It looks great and I would definitely recommend them!! read more

We had two chair cushions (4 total) to be re-upholstered. Donna and her people did a great job on our cushions. We brought the fabric and they did the work, we even had some left over! Cushions have a super firm feel now, and we can get years more use out of our chairs that we love so much! Thanks a lot! Side note--they only take cash or check, no cc. read more

Donna repaired and restored my antique Victorian dresser drawers, mirror and finish. The wood has never looked so beautiful! The drawer bottoms and sides were repaired so that they now all open and close with ease, and now I have a beautifully restored working piece! I never met Donna as I had movers drop off and pick up, but she was very fast in response time on email, and friendly and clearly an expert when we spoke on the phone! Price is competitive with any antique repair expert. Thank you Donna! read more

My parents were antique collectors and quite good refinishers for many years in Virginia-unfortunately I never learned, although they gave me many chances to! So recently, I had an emergency job required on a cherished beveled china cabinet- the leg fell off during a living room remodeling job-luckily we were able to catch it before the glass broke! I researched a bit and decided upon Time Treasures -What a terrific decision I made by choosing their service! They did a superb job on restoring the piece back to a beautiful and stunning quality! As they have been performing this work for generations- their artisan quality craftsmanship clearly shows in the results! I have a number of jobs for them in the future and feel extremely confident the work and quality will match or exceed the very first job they did for my husband and I. It was the perfect completion to the remodeling project and a Great Christmas Gift to boot! Give them your precious pieces- you will not be disappointed! Kindest Regards- Robin and Rich Gols read more

My review is long overdue. Donna did an amazing job with our dining room table this summer. My sister bought the set at an estate sale and it was in pretty bad shape - one chair was broken and the others were very wobbly. We took it in for a quote based on the previous reviews and she agreed that it had good bones which she could bring back to life. She helped me pick up fabric to reupholster the chairs, and recommended a stain that fit the mid century period as well as bring in more color. The results were better than I or my husband expected (who took some convincing and would have just purchased a new set)! She also finished the project within her projected timeline of 2 weeks. We are very happy - thank you Donna! Would not hesitate to take another piece to her again. read more

By the reviews I read, I decided to bring in two danish side tables and I was not let down! Yelpers are smart!

I wish we could give the folks at Time Treasures six stars! They are very pleasant to deal with and do a fantastic job. I gave them a mahogany game table to refinish and four leather club chairs to reupholster. They were well worn to say the least. When they were returned, they looked better than new. I then gave them our dining room table along with an antique table with a leather inlay. Both were chipped, scratched and burned. They came back absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend them with no reservations whatsoever. read more
