    Table and chair restoration

    TMC Restoration restored a 20 year old table and 8 chairs. This was a complete restore! We wanted to add chair pads to the chairs, which currently didn't have them. And after all was said and done, I couldn't even believe it was the same set. I am so grateful for bringing my beloved set back to life! Thank you TMC!

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for the positive review natashasaladino! Your dining room table & 8 chairs are of excellent quality & several staff members commented on the dramatic transformation prior to delivery. The suite now has a contemporary flair while maintaining its traditional appeal. (The addition of upholstered seats will make the chairs even more comfortable than they already were!)

    Dining room set

    My husband and I had our dining room set (table, 2 inserts, 6 chairs and matching buffet) refinished by TMC in January. I was quite pleased when it came back earlier than expected, till we saw the work. The table top had not been finished and the inserts didn't match (probably because the table wasn't done), and there was a considerable gouge on the top of the buffet. After having our furniture sent back, we contacted the company about the matter and were given a line about "human error" rather than an apology for their mistake. We were told it would be marked 'high priority' and they would contact us when the work was complete to come take a look at it in the warehouse to make sure we were happy with it. About two months after it had been sent back (and several phone calls that weren't returned), we managed to get a hold of someone who told us it was finished and wanting to schedule a delivery date. My husband mentioned that we were supposed to come take a look first, and was made feel like it was an inconvenience for him to take this extra step. Well we found out why when my husband went to see the work. Four of the chairs were wobbly, the doors weren't put back on the buffet properly, and there was still a mark left from where they had gouged the top of the buffet. But given that we had been without a proper dining table for months (we had been using a small round table that was big enough for our children to use), he decided to pay them so we could get our furniture back and he would adjust the chairs/doors himself. Finally got our furniture home and was given an envelope with the receipt but nothing for the additional 5 year warranty we had purchased. According to the delivery people, as well as one of the company reps, must have been an oversight and they would get it to us. I'm still waiting for the paperwork, and have left several messages that have yet gone unanswered. I understand that many people have had great experiences with this company, unfortunately I am not one of them. If I could go back and do it again, I think I would have looked at more customer reviews and gone somewhere else. That was a lot of money to pay for them to damage my furniture and give us a runaround. *Since the original posting of this review we have received our warranty information.

    Answer from pro:

    Your complaint has been thoroughly investigated Angela and the following conclusions have now been drawn based on detailed discussions with each of the individuals you and your husband interacted with during your experience with our company. The need for additional service was caused by damage incurred during the delivery process which we instantly assumed responsibility for. Without hesitation we committed ourselves to making it right by retrieving your buffet so that it could be carefully repaired and returned to pristine condition at no additional cost to you. This process is not one that can be rushed and as an acknowledgement of the inconvenience we caused you, 50% of the cost of your extended warranty was deducted. (You have indeed been registered for the extended warranty which is noted on your invoice. The validating certificate has been mailed to you which is standard practice.) The final inspection made by your husband - who has been our primary contact point from the start - was very positive which is why he gladly consented to delivery. Additionally, at no time did either of you express any concern regarding the condition of “chairs/doors” so we had no opportunity to address. (If there were genuine complaints regarding additional portions of the suite, these would have logically been brought forward at time of inspection or at least at time of final delivery.) We normally exceed expectations in connection with customer communication so we are surprised to read of multiple ‘un-returned’ phone calls. This claim is unmerited. I’ve spoken to two (2) members of our office staff who spoke with you and your husband directly on several occasions. While we regret that your perceived experience with us was less than satisfactory, let it be known that TMC Restoration conscientiously resolved the single service issue which arose in connection with your order in a timely and transparent manner.

    Restoration of a commode.

    The work was beautifully done. It's a piece my parents purchased when I was born and has great sentimental value. I was extremely pleased with the results.

    Answer from pro:

    Fantastic news ijmcgauchie! We take great pride in the level of craftsmanship we provide to our valued customers. In addition to the sentimental attachment many of our customers feel to their older furniture, the quality is consistently much higher than it is with mass-produced, modern furniture. When it is professionally restored it regains both strength and beauty. We are very happy to hear that we exceeded your expectations!

    sofa rebuilt, reupholstered

    The work done seems very goo and the staff were mostly delightful to deal with but I found the estimation process difficult -- they started with an extremely high price, came down some, but only came down a decent amount after I started looking elsewhere. They did two chairs for me about 10 years ago and they have held up well.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for your positive review anon. We're glad that you had the confidence to return to us for additional restoration work (on a different piece) a decade after your first order with TMC Restoration!

    Coffee table and end tables in the living room refinished

    The sales representative was very pleasant and took the time to explain every aspect of the refinishing procedure. The pick up and delivery people were kind and helpful when they picked up and delivered the furniture. Someone called me to advise the best way to care for the wood and took time to listen to any questions I might have or concerns. They also called to advise that the furniture was ready and delivered at a time that was convenient for me. The furniture looks great and I am very pleased with the work done.

    Dining table, 4 chairs, 2 leaves

    Process took 3 months to complete which was fine as we negotiated that however when items were received back they were not complete. Chairs were not restored and the table was missing a part to hold the leaf in. Contacted company and they picked up table and chairs and rather than rushing to fix issue was told it was atleast 3 weeks to complete which turned into 5. Time came and delivery date was made which they cancelled. Finally received all items back to find out the table top is now loose which I have fixed myself as I will not go through this again. I suggest to look around and compare as we are at fault for not doing so in the first place. This was the first of many we are doing and will look elsewhere to finish projects. Very expensive for mediocre quality and service at best.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Matt. We are sorry to hear that your experience with TMC Restoration was less than impressive. It is surprising (& disappointing) to read the quality of our service described as "mediocre". Thankfully, it sounds like your issue has been resolved & we are confident that you will enjoy your restored dining table & chairs for many years to come. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to assist you in the future.

    25 yr old Dining room Table

    After seeing the demonstration furniture in the local Mall, I decided to restore my table after all these years. It was scratched and showing lots of wear and tear,... My new table came back looking beautiful and am proud to show it off to anyone wanting to see it. Thanks to the TMC team ...a job well done. To the staff members, thanks for the help and promptness in delivery.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for the positive review jparlerc607! Be proud - be very proud. Your table looks amazing & hopefully you will inspire your friends & family members to restore instead of replacing. Your comments will be passed along to the entire team!
