Dan The Furniture Repair Man - Testimonials





"5.0 star rating 6/15/2016 - Dan the furniture repairman is Johnny on the spot I've had a project for over a year-and-a-half I've been having trouble with and unable to find anybody that can fix it. We did some tile work for a customer in Long Beach on her tile backsplash we taped off the side cabinets with blue tape and after the job was done we pulled the blue tape off but it pulled a lot of the stain also so as we were trying to protect it it just made it worse and it was a whitewash cabinet I had three different guys out there couldn't fix it I found Dan online he was able to go out the very next day and solve this problem for me and the customer was so happy that it had finally gotten fixed and the repair blended in and couldn't see any damage. And it looked like new..
Thank you very much Dan I really appreciated. It five stars all the way!"

"5.0 star rating 6/14/2016 - Dan repaired a mid-century modern armchair with a splintered arm/leg for me. It was a complicated job due to the upholstery. He did it with mastery - looks fantastic - you can't see where it had been broken. In addition, he picked it up at my home and once it was repaired, he returned it. What a relief to NOT have to transport it and pick it up from him. Dan also was responsive -- promptly returned emails and texts and showed up when he said he would. I have given him 2 more chairs to restore."


-Catherine E., Los Angeles, CA

"5.0 star rating 6/10/2016 - I have an antique dresser that belonged to my father as a child that was very wobbly and about to come apart. Fortunately, I got ahold of Dan first and chose him to transport, re-glue and bolster this piece. Dan also cleaned up the wood on the top of the dresser and put new coats of lacquer on it. I am very happy with his work and he did the work within a reasonable timeframe. I would not hesitate to get Dan to work on further restoration projects as they come up."


-Linda H., Garden Grove, CA

"5.0 star rating 5/14/2016 - Incredible! We have a bar that belonged to my father in law and was built in the 70's. It was a beautiful mid century piece, but over the years it had some water damage and we'd had it refinished (poorly) so it was looking awful. We called Dan as a last ditch effort to save it.

AMAZING! He not only repaired the water damaged spots (you can't even tell where they were) he returned the bar to its incredible original state. It's like a whole new piece of furniture. We can't stop starring at it.

I honestly didn't think there was any hope, but Dan does such good work I am now convinced he can fix anything. More importantly, he's honest, well priced and kept us in the loop at all times with text updates and photos. His timeline was very reasonable and he picked up and delivered.

I would absolutely recommend him and I would most defiantly use him again."

"5.0 star rating 3/19/2016 - Dan is simply THE BEST furniture restoration and repair specialist I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I have a saltwater aquarium whereas the cabinet stain had been badly eaten away from the harmful effects of saltwater and Dan made it look like brand new! In addition, he replaced the existing rusted out hinges with new custom fitted stainless steel ones and installed wooden knobs to the cabinet doors and was able to match a very difficult color stain. Furthermore, Dan was very reasonable on the price. Don't waste your time calling others - Dan is the man to call for your job!"


-Mark E. Chatsworth, CA

"Dan was great. We went to his shop and he explained the entire process of the refinishing. He took us on a quick tour of start to finish on their process. The dresser Dan finished came out brand new. The dresser had a lot of water damage. Would recommend Dan and we would definitely use his company again. Nov 2023"

-Scott CRANDAL

"Dan did an awesome job restoring my Grandmother’s travel trunk. I so appreciated how responsive he was to take all my calls. Thanks Dan another satisfied customer."


-Ron H.

"I brought an old (1960's?) side table to Arthur to refinish. The drawers no longer worked - it was an ugly scarred-up black color and I wanted it white! My second hand vintage purchase needed a lot of help. When I got it back I could not believe he was able to not only get the drawers to work, but it was a lovely matte white with no blemishes. I look at it every day and feel it is the best money I ever spent."


-Melissa

"I had four pieces of furniture refinished for my living room and love how they turned out. Arthur was patient and very helpful throughout the entire process. Will not hesitate to have more work done by him in the future!"


-Carley Goodman

"Dan does exquisite work. He explains the problem and his process. Will definitely use him again."

-Patrick

"Very pleased with the repair Dan completed on one of our treasured antique European side chairs. One of the wooden legs had broken off, apparently due to wood worms, termites or both. Dan had the knowledge and expertise to expertly restore it back to a functioning and secure piece of furniture that we can once again enjoy looking at and utilizing. Thank you, Dan, for your excellent work, kind and prompt responses to my calls, and for your helpfulness. I will contact you again should we need another furniture repair."

"For those of you who are shopping for the best furniture repairman/upholsterer in Southern California, shop no further. Dan the Furniture Man and his staff did a beautiful job on our old beat up Art Deco sofa and chair. We am happy to report that the job was completed on time and at the price we were told. What set Dan and his friendly staff apart was their consistent communications to keep us updated on the progress of their work. They also made the effort - after the job was finished - to make sure we were happy and completely satisfied with their work. We are very happy with the end results as the sofa and chair came out just as beautiful as we had hoped and imagined. Of interest, our Art Deco sofa and chair has some ornate wood work attached and Dan the Furniture Man and his staff reconditioned all of the wood and made it look brand new. They did such a great job on the wood work on our sofa and chair that we decided we will be using them to recondition our gorgeous 7’ antique china cabinet. I hope the above information is helpful to someone still trying to decide who they want to repair their furniture. In sum, we could not be more pleased with the great job they did for us."

"I called Dan to inquire about a repair on a black ash veneer vintage speaker with a slight damage. Within my 10 minute conversation over the phone, Dan provided a fix which worked for what I needed. Will definitely call Dan again and recommend him to friends and family for honesty, reliability and expertise! Thank you!"


-Fred M

"I have a very old (over 100 years old) Antique Dresser that was my Grandmother's. My little son spilled red nail polish on it and I didn't know what to do. I thought that it was completely ruined and irreparable. Fortunately, Dan was able to save it! He restored, repaired and shined up my treasured dresser back to its natural beauty. Not only that, Dan was punctual and truthful from the beginning. He provided free pick up and delivery which is a rarity these days. I would recommend him highly to anyone needing furniture repair of any kind. Dan, Thank you...I appreciate your excellent craftmanship so much!"


-Christina Armani

"Dan is very professional and his work is exquisite. I was so impressed with the fine polish/refinishing job he did on my antique bedroom dresser and king size headboard. He was able to do the job in my home and he used Eco friendly products. I would definitely recommend Dan to a friend or colleague."
