In Days of Olde

I have an old solid walnut desk which was my father's and I have used it as my desk since I started to practice law. At that time, I had it refinished. It's now 30 years later and I wanted to refinish it again. The owner, Rashid, is not only a friendly gentleman but he knew all about the desk as soon as he laid his eyes on it. Some of the molding needed replacement and he matched it exactly. He told me it would take about 3 weeks and he called me 3 weeks later when it was ready--right on time. His helpers were careful in handling the desk in and out of my office. Now, I look forward to using the desk for the rest of my career.
Thank you Rashid!

Good service and they know what they are doing!

I had quite a few pieces of English antique furniture that needed to be repaired/restored. Before contracting the work, I asked Rashidi (the owner, I believe) for the names of a few people who used him in the past in order to get a reference. He happily gave me the name and number of several people who recommended this business without reservation. Rashidi is very personable and easy to work with. He came to see all my pieces and then gave me individual costs for each item. I must say I was very surprised on how expensive the cost was but then again, I don't really have anything to compare it to. (I didn't shop around--it was more important to find someone who was good and I could trust.) Rashidi promised my furniture would be like new. I had a dining table, 8 chairs, hutch, sideboard, hall tree, bench, tall secretary and roll top desk all restored. (All oak.) The work was excellent although there were a few blips to get it all up to a high standard. When a piece did have an issue, Rashidi took to back to make sure I was 100% happy.( I wish it was done right from the beginning but hey ho, in the end I was happy with the result.) My only other complaint is when he took the first group of furniture, he said I would have it back in 2 weeks. It was more like pushing 6 weeks and he did not communicate very well with me about that. After I told him I wasn't happy about it, he made sure the second delivery was on time and he kept me posted about the progress...much much better!! He really did work hard to make sure I had a good experience with the second group of furniture. All in all, I would definitely recommend In Days of Olde to you!
