My girlfriend and I have fawned over their projects on Instagram for a while now so we were super excited to check out the shop and it didnt disappoint! We spent a good chunk of time fawning over all of the amazing projects we wish we had the space for, and daydreaming about what we would put where in our future dream house, well definitely be back when that day comes! Owners are also super friendly cool people!

They answered my text promptly. Answered my question. I went there the next day. The young lady there was very helpful. Bought what I went there for. And they helped my husband load it.
Love this shop!
This shop is an asset to Hamtramck. Salvage pieces are cleverly redesigned and reasonably priced. I found the staff very helpful and kind.
I recently had a very poor experience with Woodward Throwbacks and am overall very disappointed. I acquired a bowling alley that I wanted to turn into a dining table and I had sanded and sized the table myself, but given a deadline needed help finishing the project. I asked WT for their help in completing the work and they agreed to finish the table by sanding, making fresh clean cuts, staining, sealing, and lacquering the table. They have made bowling alley tables in the past and so there was no concern on their part that they had the ability. I agreed to a price of $220 for the work and after they had the table a few days they increased the price by $100, which I agreed to as some of the work was not as clear to them in my description over the phone.They turned the project around within a couple weeks and when it arrived at first everything looked fine. I did notice that the lacquer finish seemed to have an odd texture I am not accustomed to, but didnt worry about it. Within a few days, the finish started to crackle off. It started from flex in the table, but after a few days of use i realized that the finish was not only flaking off of the areas of flex, but also on the sides of the table and areas where flex hadnt occurred. I contacted WT about my concerns and they were very quick to push blame onto areas other than their own responsibility. I called the manufacturer of the lacquer and after sending them images was told that it was their opinion that the lacquer was laid incorrectly or that the preparation of the surface before the lacquer was applied was done incorrectly as the fishing was coming off easily with only a fingernail.WT again refused to acknowledge their involvement in the problem and at no point offered to at least come and look at the table with their own eyes even after I sent multiple images and videos of the finish cracking off with my fingernails. They refused to help other than to offer to drop off more lacquer for me to do myself, which given the fact that I hired them to finish the work to meet my deadline and to take weight off of my own shoulders was a joke.After calmly complaining for several days, they finally offered to refund me the costs of the lacquer itself ($50), and did not acknowledge the increase in work it would now take to not only redo their work but UNDO their work to get the table in good working shape. I paid them over $300 for the work they did and I am disappointed that not only did they not stand by their labor and their product, but it took me a week of complaining with them to even get them to offer $50. Overall the experience was very unprofessional in the end.I have since contacted a company in Plymouth I have dealt with before that does furniture refinishing and I have had good experiences with and they came to my home, driving all the way from Plymouth, to look at the table. They immediately said that the texture I noticed in the finish was very strange for the type of product they used and was a sign of being done improperly as spray texture shouldnt be noticeable.... it should be smooth like a grand piano finish when complete if done correctly, and that in order to fix the table I will have to strip, re-sand, re-stain, and reapply a new sealer and lacquer... essentially starting from scratch before I hired them, which is the same thing the lacquer manufacturer told me.The finish continues to flake off to this day on all sides of the table and I am so disappointed that such a cute and interesting company could drop the ball so poorly and accept no responsibility for their supposed expertise.
