"Did a fabulous job on a furniture coffee table repair from a dog chewing. Highly recommend TRU Furniture."

"I contacted Dan Steele, the owner, by e-mail from his website and included pictures of the existing unit along with an explanation of when we were interested in doing. Dan replied by phone in a couple of days and arranged an appointment to come and look at the project. He arrived promptly and spent time explaining what he thought could be reasonable done and made a preliminary sketch of his idea. We liked it and asked for a cost estimate and timing. Within several days he e-mailed me with a more detailed sketch and a cost estimate that was within our budget. We spent the next week exchanging detailed emails tweaking the design until we agreed on the final design. Dan then firmed up the estistmate and timing. We asked that his estimate include removing and disposing of the existing cabinet. He and his associate arrived on the agreed date for installation with several major pieces thay had already pre-fabbed aand painted at their shop. The first thing they did was lay down a large tarp to protect the floor tile and carpeting. They carefully removed the old unit without damaging the paint on the alcove housing it and then built in the new unit. They spent about six hours finishing the project. Their attention to detail was amazing and refreshing to see. The finished cabinet fit like a glove in the alcove and matched the design we had agreed on. It looked like it had come with the house. They completely cleaned up after they were done. <br /> From initial contact to finished installation was a total of 5 weeks. Throughout the process Dan was extremely responsive and professional. <br />"

"Everything about my experience with Furniture and Repairs was positive. They clearly explained their assessment process and reasonable charge to come out to personally inspect my furniture. They explained that once an estimate was provided, upon accepting the estimate they would deduct that charge from my total cost. The gentleman they sent out to assess my furniture was professional and patiently answered my questions. The cost of repairing my 6 pieces of mid-century furniture was very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the work that they did. I couldn't be happier with the repairs. I inherited the furniture, and I was so nervous about substandard repairs, and these folks did an exceptional job. Some of the pieces were seriously damaged - wooden legs broken right off - and you can't tell where the damage was. They came to pick up my furniture and returned it in 2 weeks. I'm so delighted with my experience and I would highly recommend this company."

"I've always been happy with California Closets. I have used their services for over 19 years so when I needed a closet organized in my new home, I called them immediately. What amazes me is that their prices haven't really gone up since I last used them and it's been a while ago. My closet was installed very quickly and I am once again happy with the outcome. I will use them again in the future when I organize another closet."

"It was a fantastic job."

"The project was probably too easy for Jim's skills, but he took it on enthusiastically and with professionalism. The pieces were exactly what I wanted and delivered when Jim said he could get them completed. If we have any other custom projects in mind Jim will be the first person we contact. Very satisfied customer, Dave."

"Tom and Sandra are a husband and wife team that handle contracting/remodel work and decorating. They worked w/me diligently to arrive at a budget I could live with while providing high quality materials/work. Their subcontracting teams were very professional and did exceptional work---and all were fantastic and fun to work with! Tom outlined everything, including the cost up front, and explained things as they went along whenever i had questions; if something was too costly for me, he would provide viable options or actually work w/his distributor or contact to lower the cost, project took about 2 months. Sandra worked w/me on coordinating colors/materials for flooring, paint, tile, and window treatments. Her suggestions for furniture and other decor was great, never felt pressured, but they did offer their services for purchasing items, which I did on some of the furniture. As described above it was an update/remodel of master bedroom and bath. Installed pocket door between bedroom/bath, replaced 2 windows (enlarged 1), installed new wood flooring, partially removed old "plant ledge", added closet organizers, painted bedroom/bath/closetrooms, added canned lighting in bedroom, bath, and closet, removed old shower and installed new tiled floor to ceiling shower w/new fixtures and shower doors, new tiled bathroom floor, custom vanity w/new sink and granite counter top and new front/doors for linen closet, and installed new doors in remodel area. New furniture, rug, and window treatments were at additional cost. I felt extremely comfortable w/both Tom and Sandra and would definitely recommend their business to others."

"We are in the final stages of recovering from Hurricane Sandy and had reached a point where we decided to treat ourselves to a new set of furniture for our master bedroom. <br /> <br />We have some Heirloom quality furniture in our living room, dining room and den, interspersed with some genuine antiques. <br /> <br />Our taste in furniture runs from 18th Century to Arts & Crafts (Mission, Stickley, Craftsman, Limbert). <br /> <br />Our old bedroom set was clunky Spanish Colonial (for want of a better description) and it had outlived its useful life. We ended up keeping the Armoire for storage (it's now in a guest room) but the remainder of this huge, heavy set ended up in the back of a sanitation truck (unfortunately...we tried to give it away to Habitat for Humanity, shelters for battered Women, you name it, nobody wanted it). <br /> <br />We decided that we wanted a lighter, more functional look...something in a Shaker or Craftsman style. We researched what we wanted and were amazed to discover that there is a whole Cottage Industry of furniture manufacturing going on in the states of Vermont and Massachusetts. Who knew? Well, we were familiar with Thomas Moser furniture (located in Maine with showrooms in expensive zip codes around the U.S.) but we didn't want to spend $30,000 for our bedroom set. We considered Crate & Barrel which makes nice, honest furniture (we have this in our guest bedroom and love it), but we wanted higher quality. In continuing our research, we found some manufacturers in the Western U.S. And some Shaker manufacturers sprinkled from Pennsylvania to Illinois. Eventually, I came across Vermont Woods Studios. This find was The Epiphany! <br /> <br />Fortuitously, Vermont Woods Studios was running a 20 percent discount sale, with free White Glove shipping. This was towards the end of December, 2015. We selected a style called Contemporary Craftsman in Cherry (wood selection also runs to Oak, Maple and Mahogany; Mahogany is an additional cost). We upgraded to a King Size Bed (low footboard option); the rest of the set that we selected contains a six drawer Dresser, a seven drawer Chest, a three door Night Table and a Utility Table (a second Night Table was not possible with the King Bed due to space issues). The only custom feature that we required was for the bed to be made one and one half inches lower. <br /> <br />When we decided on the style, set, pieces, et al, it was time to make payment. The furniture must be paid in full at the time of purchase. This made us hesitate a bit but the reputation, based on our research, of Vermont Woods Studios is absolutely Gilt Edged. We put the purchase on a Cash Back Credit Card. At the conclusion, our wonderful Salesperson, Sean Henry, provided us with hard copy receipts confirming our selections (our computer is still not set up) and advised us that the furniture had to be built, and that it would take eight to 12 weeks to complete the process. Sean told us that the White Glove delivery service would contact us to arrange delivery and they would deliver the furniture to our second floor, place it where we wanted, put the bed together and remove all packing materials and protective blankets. There is a process for reporting and/or rejecting damaged pieces but we were assured that the White Glove delivery service is so good that damaged furniture is almost never an issue. <br /> <br />About two weeks after we made the purchase, we received an e-mail from Vermont Woods Studios advising that Bedroom Sets were now 25 percent off. I called our Salesman, Sean, and inquired about an additional five percent credit. Sean said he would speak with Management and in under an hour called to advise that $624.05 was being credited back to my credit card. After being in a Death Struggle with our Insurers for over three years, this credit was important for us. <br /> <br />Towards the end of January Sean called to advise that the furniture would be finished at about the six week mark, around mid February. We advised that we would not be able to accept delivery until painting and carpeting were completed, around early March (we were slowed by the latest Snow Storm of the Century in late January). We were told it would not be a problem. But I did appreciate that Vermont Woods Studios Craftsmen over delivered on the eight to 12 week manufacturing cycle. Good to know. In addition it sort of settled me down over wondering if the quality of workmanship would be there. After all, the furniture suite was purchased over the Internet, without being able to see and touch finished samples. [N.B.: Sean did provide samples of the various types of wood used to build our bedroom set; this was helpful). <br /> <br />When the furniture was completed, we received a call from the delivery service and we were fit into their regional delivery schedule. D-Day was March 11, 2016. The delivery folks called to confirm and then called to advise they were less than an hour away. They arrived, scoped out were the furniture had to go and got the case pieces up the stairs and down the hall into the Master Bedroom without touching a wall. Amazing! Everything was carefully blanket wrapped. The movers (I will write a separate review for them) were so thoroughly professional and neat as a pin. They put the bed together and moved the case pieces into their final resting places, and removed any cardboard and plastic packing materials along with the blanket wraps. The movers advised that they do work for Thomas Moser and many ultra high end concerns. These guys were GREAT. There wasn't a nick on any piece of furniture. EVERYTHING ARRIVED IN PERFECT SHAPE. Another area in which Vermont Woods Studios totally lived up to its word. <br /> <br />NOW FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE...THE QUALITY OF THE FURNITURE: OUTSTANDING!!! <br />The quality of this furniture is nothing short of magnificent. In our house we have Karges, Kindel and Stickley furniture by E.J.Audi (the current owner of the Gustav Stickley legacy). In terms of craftsmanship, fit, finish and attention to detail, our Vermont Woods Studios Bedroom Set is as good or better than the best and highest quality furniture that we own. Even the wood applied to the rear of the case goods is high quality, perfectly fitted with screws, smooth as glass and devoid of splinters. Every single piece looks like a magnificent sculpture in Cherry wood. <br /> <br />Today, March 14th, I finished oiling the furniture with Danish Oil (per VWS instructions) and the grain is more visible. The furniture is even more beautiful than the other day. And the Cherry wood will develop more character and depth as a patina forms over the next three to six months. We can't wait! <br /> <br />In conclusion, this was a perfect transaction from a great and wonderful vendor. We received the bedroom set of our dreams, a set of extraordinary quality and beauty, at a very reasonable price, that was delivered, placed and set up without so much as a pin scratch. <br />My wife and I are already plotting more purchases from Vermont Woods Studios...we need a coffee table, bench, bookcase and who knows what else. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />"

"Since we aren't handy and did not have the time to install we hired a handy man to install be closet, which I recommend if you're handy otherwise it would take 3x a long but we are very satisfied with the look and quality customer service is great."
