## The honest read

Juan collects the table from your door, takes it to his shop, and brings it back a few days later. A Stickley cherry coffee table and end table went out on a Friday in February 2025 and were home on the Monday. A maple dining table was disassembled at the house in August 2025 and returned resurfaced three days after that. Customers keep mentioning that the pickup and delivery are part of the deal, often at no charge — which is how someone with no truck gets a heavy dining table refinished at all.

JV Restoration works out of Lawrence, and most of what arrives has history attached. A 100-year-old table handed down from a grandmother, its legs broken, came back looking new in a 2025 review. A Governor Winthrop desk that had been in one family for years was returned inside three weeks in December 2024. A hope chest with water damage from a pipe that let go while the owners were away, a 60-year-old buffet, a badly neglected teak patio set whose slatted chair backs were difficult to sand, mid-century Heywood Wakefield chairs and a 1940s cherry dresser all show up. One 2024 customer's dining table carried a burn mark from a tipped candle; a July 2026 customer's six dining chairs had been used as scratching posts by the family cat.

Furniture is not all of it. A January 2026 customer had old pine floors refinished. In 2023 another had hardwood floors done, including an area with staining and an odor, and was updated each day while the work ran. Kitchen cabinets come in too: a July 2025 customer had two cabinet doors with worn-off finish restored to match the rest of the kitchen, and a 2024 homeowner had the brown cabinets she disliked turned into something she wanted to look at. In a June 2024 thread on Salem's subreddit, a commenter described having a staircase rebuilt from Pergo to real wood and a mix of engineered and prefinished hardwood refinished.

Two customers put numbers on the price. In February 2025 one said the quote was half what a competitor had asked. In March 2025 another carried old kitchen drawers back across the state line from a New Hampshire shop that had disappointed her, and had them reconstructed in less time and for less money.

If you have something worth saving — a table, a desk, a set of chairs, a floor that has lost its finish — this is a small shop that will come and get it. Send photos up front to settle the price, and plan for the piece to be away anywhere from a few days to about three weeks depending on the work.

**Strengths:**
- Collected and returned — pickup and delivery included, often at no charge
- Days, not weeks — a table picked up Friday and back on Monday
- Heirloom repairs — a 100-year-old table with broken legs made whole
- Undercut the quote — one 2025 price was half a competitor's
- Progress pictures — customers shown the work before the piece comes back

**Concerns:**
- Work happens off-site — pieces leave the house for days or weeks

**Where sources disagree:**
- The Better Business Bureau lists the business's services as "Antique Dealers", while its customers describe furniture refinishing, cabinet work and floor refinishing.
