Great Caning and Woodwork, Poor Finish. Redo was good but...
My antique rocker frame splintered in February. Maple Leaf was the only company in the area that was able to repair it. I had great communication with them during the repairs; I was shown every state of the progress with photo updates...except for the finish.
The rocker was delivered today and I understand now why they did not send me a photo first. While the woodwork and the quality of the caning are excellent, the finish on the new seat does not even REMOTELY match the back. It is also very sloppily applied. I could have done better myself. UPDATE: They took the rocker back and got the horrible yellow shellac off the seat and matched it to the back of the rocker as originally quoted. But they could have done it right the first time. So...Be SURE that you get pictures of the work in progress before delivery. They sent me WIP photos on all of the cane and woodwork.
