Afonso and his team were absolutely the dream team. We brought them two of our beloved pieces, a table made of 250-year old teak from Indonesia and an art deco chest of drawers from Cambodia.

I have an antique pine armoire and a shaker-style oak desk that were damaged and I wasn’t sure they could be repaired. The fine people at Restorers came to my home and evaluated the pieces and gave me a fair price to restore them. They took them back to the workshop and have just returned them in absolutely beautiful condition. I am just thrilled with the quality of their skills and workmanship. I highly recommend their services!
Restorers Without Borders restored a mid-century Scandinavian teak table and a corner table, along with some repair work. The results are beautiful; they did an excellent job matching the shades on the two pieces as well as matching both of them to the chairs (which we chose not to refinish). They were a pleasure to work with. They seem very busy, so things definitely take a while (ours took about four months), and they are not cheap. But they do a fantastic job.
