Lin,

I'm sorry it took so long for me to right this. I have been very busy, but it would be  a shame if I didn't take a few moments to thank you for your wonderf ul service. I had no idea what to expect when I called you to restore my Grandmother"s dresser. I had never had anything restored and was concerned to entrust it to you. I explored your website and nervously called your number.

I adored my Grandmother and wanted her dresser to be a focal point in my home. Your service was so quick and thorough , from start to finish. You amazed me! I was impressed that you would pick it up and bring it back to my home.It was so much more convenient than I expected.

My finished dresser is beautiful and is one of my most prized possessions. I am reminded of my Grandmother every time I look at it and am so happy that it is restored to pass down to my family through the coming generations. I would certainly request your services again.

Thank you again,
Bridget Felix
