Blackstone does excellent work. My antique furniture had been damaged by movers. After the craftspeople at Blackstone made the restoration, it is imperceptible! They also took great care in transporting the pieces. I highly recommend them!
Our antique armoire was just delivered and the restoration was fantastic! It required a lot of work including missing drawers that Dan rebuilt using whatever was left of the original wood. The repairs are undetectable and drawers and doors operate smoothly, really an A+ job. We also had an antique Chinese table that we didnt expect could be repaired and repainted to its present state, again masterful work! Great people to deal with and great work.
This is a wonderful resource. They can reupholster your old, saggy chair and make suggestions about how to make it beautiful and comfortable again. And their wood refinishing is great. Dont rush them; they are busy because they take their time to get it right.
I had a sleigh bed that during a move snapped at the leg of the headboard. I called Dan on Friday, he picked it up on Saturday and returned it Saturday evening! It is in perfect condition and you cant tell it was repaired. Thank you so much for the quick service!!!
We have a pair of bar height swivel chairs that match our dining room set. We’re remodeling and decided to go with a counter height island, but had trouble finding chairs we liked as much as the ones we have already. Blackstone converted our current chairs to counter height and now they’re perfect. The owner answered my emails right away, the price was reasonable and the job was finished ahead of the estimated time. I would definitely use them again.
Dan and the entire team at Blackstone Furniture Restorers were truly fantastic to work with. Not only did Dan respond to my email in less than 24 hours and on a Saturday no less, but he also completely restored 3 of my pieces (trunk, corner table and rocking chair) 2 weeks earlier than expected. In addition, their prices were the most reasonable in the area as I spoke with two other restoration companies who’s prices couldn’t come close. You couldn’t put your trust or furniture in better hands than Dan and his team at Blackstone Furniture Restorers.
We recently had a 1850 Federation Table stripped and refinished by Dan and his team. They were excellent to work with, were very knowledgeable, made great suggestions, and took the time to explain the entire process involved in restoring this table. They also completed the restoration in a timely fashion. We were so pleased with the restored table that we have already asked Dan for a quote on a second refinishing project.We highly recommend Blackstone if you have a furniture refinishing/restoration requirement.
Dan and his team took a badly damaged Mid Century console, and restored it beautifully. I am so impressed with their expertise and judgement. Highly recommend!
Dan fixed a sideboard that our puppy used as a chew toy. Dan was a pleasure to work with - very professional and knowledgeable. We just picked up the furniture and are very pleased with the work that was done. Highly recommend.
Dan McAuliffe is a miracle worker! We are so grateful for the really beautiful job hes done for us on 5 chairs -- restoration & reupholstery in each case, 3 armchairs & 2 side chairs. One of the armchairs had been chewed up by our dog and was in terrible shape; one of the side chairs had a poorly repaired leg. They all look like new - just gorgeous. Both the restoration & the upholstery top notch - better than we could have imagined.
You might think an antique furniture restorer might not be good for mid-century modern furniture. You would be wrong. I brought in a Nakashima rocking chair that my parents commissioned in 1970. It was well cared for but starting to show its age. I got it back beautifully restored. Thanks Dan and team. You know what you are doing!
Severely worn and broken hope chest over 70 years old was restored to better than new appearance. Extremely pleased with the work.
I had a antique vanity stripped and refinished. This heirloom means so much to me and I am so excited to say that my experience at Blackstone and with the owner Dan was nothing but fantastic! He is very personable, efficient and was great at getting back to me with an estimate and all details regarding the transformation. He gave me options and is very knowledgeable which made me feel like my piece was in amazing hands. He was flexible helping me get the piece to and from too which was a standout for me! This is not something I have done before and he has made the experience worth doing again if needed! I found him randomly just through google and really wanted to take the chance and let anyone out there know he’s one to trust and use!
I have been using Blackstone Furniture Restorers for about 25 years and it is a master in all areas of antique (and non-antique...) furniture restoration and repair work of all sorts — from repairing dents, gouges, missing or damaged veneers; replacing broken or missing ornamental work on fine furniture- to completely refinishing a piece of furniture. It seems there is nothing too big or too small for Blackstone to tackle and repair/restore. They are the consummate pros. Blackstone’s staff is masterful and very experienced- professional and friendly. In addition, unlike most furniture restorers whose work is considered very good, Blackstone’s prices are ‘down to earth’ & reasonable. I give them the highest possible ratings.
I had a chair reupholstered and I could not be happier. The quality of the workmanship is unparalleled. They were so accommodating and helpful. I cannot say enough good things about them. I am planning to have a few more things done because the whole experience was great.
Love these guys! We had our newly purchased puppy chew on every piece furniture in the house, particularly our kitchen chairs got it the worst. I brought of the chairs with to see if they were even repairable. To much of my surprise, the set of 6 chairs came back without a scar! Thank you so much guys! If recommend these guys to anyone.
The guys at Blackstone are the BEST! I had them work on my dining room chairs and they came out perfect. They have now worked on a few other pieces I had and each one looks like new. Dan McAuliffe is extremely knowledgeable on antiques and takes time restoring the furniture to make sure it looks brand new. Thank you guys for making my furniture come back to life.
I had my prized period Louis XVI arm chairs restored here and a later 20th century inlaid sideboard repaired and refinished. Wow, Im very happy with the result. Great work and great service.
Outstanding restoration on 1813 desk, with expert advice, helpful suggestions, knowledgeable staff who go out of their way to explain options and functionality of precious works from the past
Dan and his crew fixed a dining room table and chair set for me and it looks fantastic! Whenever we have friends over they comment on the set. I highly recommend Blackstone.
