We took in the chairs from my parents 60-year-old maple dining room set to be re-glued. They were loose and wobbly. One of them had some spindles that were damaged. Cindy did a beautiful job fixing them with an eye for detail and cleaned them up, too. The turn around time was quick. When we took them in, the finish on the chairs was worn and scuffed. They look really nice now and we don't have to worry about them collapsing when someone sits on them.

I brought to Cindy and Bruno my fathers redwood burl table that he had made some 40 years ago. It had been sitting in a shed in the desert for 7 years and was destroyed. Literally epoxy that was used to finish it has started to melt off. They took the project on and made it look better then when my father originally finished it! I feel like my father would be so happy to see it's beauty not only restored but enhanced. I can't recommend them enough!!

Cindy did an excellent job on my table; she stripped and refinished the table top that had been damaged by Super Glue. It looks better than it did before the accident, and the job was done quickly! I also enjoyed talking with Cindy and meeting her dog.

I could not recommend this place more highly. I had two chairs I had found on the street years ago, which I had been lugging around ever since. I had worked on them a little bit myself, but knew I was in over my head. I was also worried about calling in a professional, wary of turning what had been a free find into an incredibly expensive one.Eventually I bit the bullet, and called Artcraft. I worked with Cindy, who is truly wonderful. She was prompt about getting back to me, and gave her own suggestions while being careful to listen to what I was asking for. She clearly understands the sentimental value of the furniture she gets, in addition to its monetary value. I was also initially worried about replacing the damaged casters and caster sleeves of the chair--she did an amazing job! She found period matches for one chair, and completely replaced the wheels of another, which had been modified at some point in its past. She was also very sharp in her assessment of the materials and time period of the pieces, which was especially helpful given these chairs' unknown history.The rates were very reasonable, and the work was completed before the date she gave. She also has a nice collection of antiques, if you're in the market for something.I have attached photos of the chairs, but they do not do the work justice. They're so lovely!

Just wanted a desk refinished and they said it was too big of a job, sight unseen. No phone call or anything, just a terse email message back turning down the work. Really hard to find a furniture refinisher in Tucson.

Excellent work! Needed to have antique plant stand refinished. It was in very bad shape. Cindy first got the stand to be stable then refinished beautifully to original look. Really like that Cindy hand strips old finish and does not dip which is so hard on wood. Highly recommend her work and will be taking other pieces to her to perform her magic. In addition, Cindy is very nice and knowledgeable. Also, the little area she is located has a few adorable shops good for picking up little gifts. One last thing, when googling for this type of service, name comes up as Artcraft Woodworking & Refinishing by Cindy.

Cindy and Joe refinished my table top to pristine condition. When I dropped it off Tuesday there were many scratches and even a dark blemish that may not be repairable. Friday afternoon (yes, only 3 days later!) it is back home in the kitchen ready to use. If you have any projects that need refinishing, I highly recommend them!

I can't say enough good words about the amazing work and stellar customer service of Cindy and Joe. They just refinished my dining room table, and it is even more beautiful than the day I bought it. I'd asked them to refinish the top, but they went over and above to refinish the legs, fix the expansion mechanism to add/remove an extra leaf, and even delivered it, too! I don't think I've ever seen such exceptional workmanship and received such outstanding customer service. Their price was reasonable, too. Now I want to have all of my furniture refinished by them, and Cindy tells me that she does upholstery, also! I will definitely go to them again and recommend them to everyone I know. Wish I could give them 10 stars!

Artcraft did an excellent job recaning the seat and tightening up the joints of a family heirloom rocker that now looks as good as it did when it was passed down to me years ago. And the price was right, too.
