"We used Olek Inc. to shorten and polish our beautiful heavy wood dining table. Olek had to disassemble the table, cut it, re-attach the "bookends", and make it look like it was. Olek made the table look better than before. In addition to the excellent crafts work, so rare these days, they picked up and delivered this heavy table from and to Manhattan. Everyone in the process -- our project manager, craftworkers, shippers -- were polite and prompt. I recommend Olek to one and all."

"It's hard to describe how happy we are with this work. We found our coffee table in a mom-and-pop furniture shop in downtown NYC about 15 years ago. Marble top with a wood frame, it was a welcome find after a long search and we were thrilled to make it part of our home.

We've never been sure how old it is, but if it's at least 50, that's a long time for a piece of wood to hold up a slab of marble. Eventually the wood dries out, which we discovered when, after moving the table one day, one side began to sink and the overall condition of the furniture is terrible, we appreciate the restoration from this company.

We were afraid it was lost for good, but my wife found this company via an article in New York, we called them about the restoration process and procedure, and we're so happy they were able to work with us. After picking it up, they diagnosed the need to rebuild the joinery. But the work wouldn't have been complete without fully restoring it for the next 50 years, by completely refinishing the wood and fixing the brass trim, which had also been damaged by time. They even replicated some brass trim that had fallen off before we first bought it so that everything was uniform."

"I have a V. Kagan 175 E armchair that was literally falling apart- the wood was separating at the joins and the leather seat and padding were shot- Peter at Olek did and amazing job bringing it back to "like new." They aren't cheap, but the quality is so worth it- I highly recommend them for mid-century furniture restorations!"

"This is the second time that I have had Olek reupholster a few of my sofas, each time I have been astonished at the stunning work. Everything is perfect, not only the furniture, but the customer service, their professionalism, the time it takes to complete, the pick up and delivery, Yan in accounting and Peter, well he is simply wonderful. I cannot imagine ever using anyone but Olek. Thank you!"

We have made quality our habit. It’s not something that we just strive for – we live by this principle every day.
