★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great restoration of my dining table , which had splits and other damage, and 8 dining chairs. My dining chairs are now strong and look great.
The upholstery is well done and I am very happy with the result.
The most dear to me was the restoration of the wood sculpture made by my father, and was water damaged.
Your restoration was exceptional and I am so happy I asked Dovetail to help. Thank you for the finish on the small table. It is lovely.
Thanks Avi and Adam and your team for such lovely work.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We got a quote for a 6 piece lounge suite. Very reasonable. There is alot of detail in the lounge suite, buttons and folds. They polished the corner wooden piece. They picked it up and dropped it back. The finished result was well worth the cost. Dovetail has done a fantastic job and we are happy. Looks good. Thanks Dovetail

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ So happy that we brought our family heirloom (table) project to Dovetail Restorations. Avi initially looked at our piece and was able to immediately provide us some history regarding its age, origin, and craftsmanship. Adam then managed the project and he really came through in terms of communication, timeline, and fulfilling our wishes. These guys are extremely professional and they clearly take personal interest and pride in their work. The cost of the job was also very reasonable. I highly recommend Dovetail for restoration projects that you really care about.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The team at Dovetail Restorations have just refinished this small desk for me, an antique from Finland that was scruffy when it came in. Somehow they always see the wood beneath the layers of time, and so this little desk was saved and restored. A beauty. A repeat customer. Thanks so much!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wow! We could not believe the fantastic restoration job done by Dovetail Restorations on our 37 year old dining room suite! It is better than new! It is now solid, with no more wobbles, dings or scratches. Love the fabric. Love the look! Thank you.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dovetail refurbished and restore my great-grandfather's "office" desk - he was a manager of an estate in the North of Scotland and I was told this was his working desk. It was built in the 1860s/70s and by the time I took it into Dovetail was very much showing its age - my father had used it as his home desk for 20 or 30 years as well! When I called in to see them with some photos Adam gave me a provisional estimate and then followed this up by email. Despite a few things emerging along the way they held to their estimate and produced an excellent result. We opted for a "sympathetic" restoration - fix the broken or missing bits, repair cracked and missing veneer and the leather insert, fresh drawer rails and the like then refurbish the exterior. Adam kept in touch and let me know what was happening along the way. I'm delighted and found them a great firm to deal with, the first time I've ventured into this sort of thing so I wasn't sure what to expect. I am now using it as my home office desk and hopefully it should also see my children out!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dovetail Restorations have restored a number of items for us and have done a terrific job on all of them. I've been amazed and impressed by the quality of every piece and I can recommend them wholeheartedly. It has been a pleasure to deal with them, they got things done in good time, and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. Their prices were reasonable considering the amount of work that was needed and the quality of the end result.
They restored our rimu dining table which was in very poor condition. It was about 40 years old and had sun damage, discolouration, the old varnish was starting to break down, and there were a lot of scratches, dents and water damage. It now looks perfect. It would have taken a lot of painstaking and skilled work to restore and resurface it. This enabled me to restore it, which I preferred to selling it and buying a new one. Dovetail gave us advice about looking after it too.
They did a lovely job on our rimu dining chairs, re-gluing those that needed it, dealing with al the scratches and dings, and then resurfacing them. All the chairs now look as if they'd just come off the showroom floor.
Dovetail also restored a mahogany coffee table which I first saw in the early 70’s and inherited nearly 20 years ago. With the years and family visits including grandchildren the colour had faded on top a lot and it had acquired milky patches from heat / liquid damage. After restoration the table looks astonishingly good.
They did an amazing job too on my 100 year old Art Nouveau vase painted by my great-aunt. It had been broken and poorly mended earlier, but now looks really beautiful, looks great on display, and looks like it was never broken. I feel now when the time comes I'll be able to hand it on to the next generation.
Thanks for everything Dovetail!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We are so happy with the thoughtful care taken of my family heirlooms. In my own lifetime, I had never seen the pieces we gave to them to restore look so good. The wood is glowing from the cleaning and shows to great effect in our new home. Where pieces had been broken or come off and gotten lost over the generations, the staff’s wonderful attention to detail and craftsmanship make the newer components seem like they were there all along. The reconditioning of an old upholstered chair long neglected was amazing and now serves as a comfortable place for me to start writing again. The staff was also careful to keep in close communication about each of the decisions they needed to make - this inspired confidence in the care they took of our prized antiques.
