Testimonials

“The chair is magnificent. As I mentioned to you, it belonged to my grandfather. I showed my 90 year old dad over Facetime and he wonders if you could re-assemble him as well! I am delighted with the work you did on the chair. You are a gifted person! ”

“You refinished our bed headboard. It is absolutely beautiful and we have had many comments about the headboard from guests that have stayed in our guest bedroom.
The headboard means so much to me as the bedroom suite was my parent’s first purchase when they got married in 1952. So we send you a special belated thank you for the wonderful refinishing of this piece.”

“My wife and I recently renovated the main floor of our house. When we looked to replace our sitting furniture we could not find anything that we liked. Our solution was to take our existing pieces to Yared and have them re-finished and re-upholstered. The results were absolutely awesome............Way to go Yared!”

“The table and chairs are just perfect! It looks brand new (aside from the wonderful memories you preserved in the table). I know we will enjoy the set for many more years.
I hope that, and will for sure, have the opportunity to have some of our furniture restored again by you. You are truly a craftsman and we appreciate the art you create.”

“We would like to thank you very much for our ‘renewed’ kitchen table and chairs. They look great. The colour matching you did is perfect and the quality of the workmanship is excellent. You also provided us with terrific customer service - from the initial assessment of what we needed, to updates along the way and then working within our chosen time frame. We would not hesitate to recommend you. Thanks again.”

“We cannot thank Yared enough for the wonderful job he did restoring our antique four poster bed and brass bed. He is truly an artist who has great passion for his work. It was a pleasure going through the process and I would highly recommend him.”

“Every time I look at the piece of furniture you finished I can’t get over how lovely the piece is and what a wonderful job you did of bring out the great warmth of the true wood. Thank you so much. ”

“We engaged Classic Furniture to restore a sentimental family heirloom and we were very delighted with both quality of service and craftsmanship. Yared maintained contact with us throughout the process, engaging us in conversation to better understand our preferences and expectations while also offering his experience and recommendations. We gave Yared all the time he needed to showcase his talents and the resulting wonderfully re-crafted cabinet is a testament to his skills. It is clear that Yared is driven by the satisfaction he gets when he watches his customer’s light up when they see the finished product. He truly loves his work. Far too many companies manage the bottom line first and foremost while Yared’s approach is simply deliver great service and enjoy doing it.”

“Yared just presented me with a part of my past that I never dreamed could be restored to its former glory! My grandmother’s black walnut dresser! Not only did he make it look good he put his heart into doing it! Polished hardware, new mirror and voila - a beautiful reminder of a family treasure! In this day and age it is rare that craftsmanship and pride in one’s work are major motivators, but for Yared, it is the main reason he does what he does - and for that I say, ‘Go raibh mile maith agat’!!!!”

“—Letter to an insurance adjuster—
Hello John:
This is a photo of the dining room furniture that the contractor wanted to put in the dumpster. Yared has restored it beautifully – it is a magnificent job and really has to be seen to be appreciated fully. I would suggest you keep him in mind for any future restoration projects you are involved with.” ”

“Thank you for the amazing job you did with our chair. It looks great and is so comfortable to sit on. We put it in the room we had planned for it and we are pleased to tell you that it works beautifully.”

“Yared rebuilt and refinished an heirloom secretary desk for me and it was reborn absolutely beautifully. It could not have turned out better. I would willingly recommend his work to anyone, especially if it is for a precious, much-loved piece.”

“I wanted to write a note to thank you for all the furniture you refinished, too many to mention. This has helped to ease and comfort me. I know these special pieces will live on well beyond my life to be shared by future generations of the family circle.”

“Yared did an amazing job refinishing my antique dresser. He not only did the outside but varnished the inside of the drawers, fixed a chip on the leg (you can’t even tell where it once was) and polished the handles which were painted silver back to the original gold. When I first spoke to him, he came to my home and took one drawer back to his shop and did a few colour samples so I could choose the stain I liked most. He picked up the dresser and delivered it when finished. I would most definitely recommend Yared and was extremely pleased with the end product”
