Anthony's Furniture Co

He repaired a chair leg — a good job at a good price!

I have used Anthony's several times now to finish furniture that I have built. They do a great job, and stand behind their work.

Been here many, many times. Wouldn't go anywhere else! Fab work.

We have had several 100+ year old chairs repaired after they had broken. Anthony's did a great job, on some difficult repairs. I am looking to take some more chairs to them to tighten up the joints" before they break."

I brought a piece that was almost destroyed by a dip stripper. Anthony's Furniture made it beautiful again.

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read): excellent work, and the before and after photos speak for themselves. Here is the full review: Late 1700s to early 1800s family heirloom trunk that has been in the family since it was created. Trunk traveled around Europe and eventually left Germany in 1999 and has been through several more Army moves since 2007. Never been restored, so figured before our next adventure (upcoming move) it was time. Have driven by Anthony's Furniture Repair in Waltham hundreds of times. Never paid much attention and really only noticed the small sign on the exterior of the building while I was stuck in traffic recently right next to the shop. Turned around, went in and met Mr. Robert (Bob) Oteri. Exceptionally pleasant gentleman to speak with, showed him some photos online of a similar item to determine if they could help, and brought the trunk next day for free assessment. After discussing the planned level of restoration (wanted to protect wood, repair damage, and keep overall level of patina), we agreed on approximately one-month turnaround time (no rush needed on my end). Bob asked how I wanted the trunk restored, while also recommending not to complete a 100% restoration. Doing so would lose the unique, aged look and I wholeheartedly agree. I deferred to Bob's expertise on planned work, while simultaneously providing input on what I wanted done. One wooden plank was broken on bottom and one piece was missing. Lid had small piece missing and inside of lid had piece broken. Metal band on bottom that is part of structural support with hand-forged nails was broken, missing a piece, and starting to rust. The wood was very dry and general appearance was essentially as if trunk would fall apart if picked up and moved a few more times. Key was lost at least 100 years ago, and crafting a replacement was not a top priority at this time. This piece will be lightly used, maybe storing blankets for the living room sofa on cold nights. The quality of work and attention to detail that went into this restoration is readily apparent. I mentioned the photos above, but they don't begin to do justice to how great the trunk looks. A custom varnish was used to restore luster and refresh" the trunk's look. Difficult to describe

I sent an email, with photo, of the problem leg in the pedestal base of our large table, and Bob called back to discuss and give an estimate of the repair cost. We brought the pedestal in to the shop and cost of the repair immediately went up, even though I had sent a photo and we had discussed the piece in detail. When we came back to pick up the base, the top of the pedestal had been severely marred, scratched and gouged. It looked like tools had been thrown on it while it was in the shop. What kind of furniture repair shop treats a customer's piece so carelessly? The repair to the base was sloppily done, with the underlying metal support strips bent and uneven. Hopefully the repair holds.

I have had a few pieces of my parents redone and they are beautiful. My aunts tab,Le h ad ciggerate burns and now they are gone. Excellent work.

I would give him 10 stars. He is just super talented . My ottoman had one broken leg because I bought it from wayfair (don’t ever buy from wayfair, cheap quality) . I asked him to work on one but he made the other three strong because they would have cracked eventually.

They did an excellent job refinishing a black lacquered chair of ours. Stripped it down and refinished for a fair price. My only issue was they seemed to forget about it for several weeks until I called to remind them. I was not in a hurry, so this was no issue. I expect to go back.
