Ilya did a great job fixing my broken cabinet door. He was able to glue & pin it back together. It looks like it will hold together well. He had the project done within a week.

Review by Elisabeth W. in Vernon Hills, IL
Project: Refinish Furniture
We hired Phoenix to refinish an antique baby bassinet. No one else in the area would touch it due to the potential for lead in the old paint. They stripped it down, fixed the broken wicker slates and legs and repainted it in the colors we asked for. It looks amazing. My husband is already thinking of more furniture we can hire him to fix next.
Response by A Phoenix Art Woodworks: Thank you Elizabeth. We take pride in our work. Your satisfaction is the best compliment.

Review by a homeowner in Libertyville, IL
Project: Repair Furniture
Fantastic man to work with. Couldn't be more friendly or accommodating. We brought a piece of furniture I have never come upon before. It was a sewing basket in the midst of a small table on casters. The fabric needed full repair. The wood table top was worn and in need of some. A terrific job all around. Just wish I was callled upon for the trim. That is easily changed though.

Review by Mary W. in Hoffman Estates, IL
Project: Refinish Furniture
I had French Provincial bedroom furniture. Off white with blue trim. Phoenix does not know how to refinish. They painted furniture white and dabbed a yellow paint in corners and called that French Provincial. They painted the trim green and said it matched. I had them just paint all of it white with blue trim which I picked the color blue. They quoted me $1700! I was told they would paint one piece and I could look at it for satisfaction. When I got there all four pieces were painted!!! I was stuck at that point. I don't feel that I should have to pay the full price since I am not going to get what I asked for. I am not pleased.
