    High quality work and friendly service

    Posted 5 days ago

    Excellent service! Communications were prompt, break down if costs very clear. Quality is excellent: I am very pleased with the care and completeness of the job. I had a pair of dining chairs recovered, and she also gave them a polish and fixed a broken base board. I dropped off and picked up the chairs myself. Finding the studio was easy and there is plenty of parking in the courtyard. Highly recommend.

    Very happy with the work Sara carried out for us, repaired a table leg which saved a much loved dining table from being thrown out. Her quote and work was exactly as explained to us.

    Quality work and good value for money

    Posted 13 March

    I came across Happy Furniture studio after I was given a ridiculously expensive quote to repaint my suite of bedroom furniture and reupholster the dressing table and pouffe stools. Sarah, the owner of the business was amazing. I sent in pictures of the furniture, we had a chat on the phone and she forwarded a quote on the same day. Her price was reasonable and she duly delivered as promised. I love the end product, her work gave my bedroom the ‘Wow’ factor. I highly recommend this company, excellent value for money. Thanks Sarah!

    After my doors were ruined by a different company, Happy Furniture Studio took them and did a fantastic job. They kept in touch throughout the process and really went the extra mile. I would highly recommend this company, and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

HAPPILY RESTORING AND REFINISHING TREASURED WOODEN FURNITURE

Hi I’m Sara and I run a small, friendly company that prides itself on offering honest advice, value for money and quality craftswomanship. I’ll treat your furniture as if it was my own (whether it’s vintage or not-so-old) and give your treasured possessions a new lease of life.

FURNITURE RESTORATION, REFINISHING AND REPAIRING

Got vintage, antique or modern furniture that’s seen better days or has got damaged over time? Help is at hand. French polishing brings original surfaces back to life using conservation principles; contemporary refinishing restores the character of furniture; and sensitive repair work (e.g. on dining chairs – fixing legs, joints, scratches, wobbles and woodworm damage) makes furniture sturdy enough to stand the test of time.

UPHOLSTERY

I’m happy do to this on sets of dining chairs, single statement chairs, some armchairs (not recliners) and stools. I’ll fix/restore the piece if needs be, before reupholstering, and only use high-quality products that meet UK regulations.

Contact me for a friendly chat to see if I can help you out.
