I inherited a loveseat and 2 beautiful chairs from my grandfather. He remembered these pieces in his grandparents house, and they had been shipped to Canada from England. The leather was old, split, and in places partially repaired. The burlap support pieces inside the pieces were sagging. My grandfather had tried to reupholster one of the pieces and given up as the brass tacks kept breaking off in the wood.
As pieces that were important to my family, I wanted to use these beautiful and comfortable pieces of furniture and restore them to to their former glory.
At Burkcraft, we got special one on one attention to help choose a beautiful piece of leather that accented the wood. We also had help choosing antiqued brass tacks that looked wonderful with the dark leather and older wood. Burkcraft did a beautiful job! They added a bit more cushioning and support to the seats making the pieces even more comfortable for sitting. The leather and brass tacks are fresh, clean and new, but not in a way that fights with the piece of looks glaringly new.
Berkley was enthusiatic about working on this piece, and really made us feel special and personally taken care of. We were told that this is the one place where other people love your favourite furniture even more that you do - that certainly felt true!!! I have no hesitation in personally recommending this company based on my experiences.
