    Excellent Communication. Quick Turnaround and repair is brilliant ; as good as new. Needed a blacksmith to make a small new part which was communicated to me quickly. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again

    Bringing life back to old family favourites

    Posted 07 April

    Sara was brilliant. She assessed the job from photos and provided a very clear quote all her terms. She collected the furniture as agreed and discussed the work required. She sent me photos of the work in progress and returnd the furniture as agreed. The work completed was a really high standard while staying true to the origins of the pieces. Some marks and dents remain (as agreed) to remind me of the life they have lived. I was very clear that I didn't want to lose the imperfections! Photos show before and after.

    Repair roll top antique desk

    Posted 28 February

    Sara at Happy Furniture is very professional. After meeting her and discussing what needed to be done we had great confidence in her approach to the restoration. She collected and delivered the piece. Excellent communication during the process and went the extra mile to source keys for the lock too. Desk looks fabulous. We handed her a second piece of renovation work straight away.

    Restoration of dining chairs

    Posted 28 February

    I found the Happy Furniture Studio through CheckaTrade and have been very happy with the work completed. Our dining chairs were at the point of being unsafe to sit on but they are now sturdy and fully usable again. I look forward to many more years of use from them.
