Feedback from Edinburgh Clients

★★★★★
Our Victorian extending dining table had two split leaves and severe cup rings. Callum collected it from Forth Street and returned it three weeks later. The joints are dead solid and the colour match to the original apron is spot on.

Six Ercol dining chairs with loose spindles. Freshposturedaily dismantled the frames entirely, cleared the dried factory glue, and reset them properly. Zero creaks now. Paid via bank transfer upon return delivery.

★★★★☆
Solid walnut writing desk had deep scratches from heavy moving boxes. The team planed the dented edge, laid in a small grain slip, and oiled it back to an even satin finish. Honest, prompt service.
