SLOW ECONOMY=BUSY REFINISHING HERE'S WHY?

Everybody either owns one of these or knows someone that does...right? Well guess what happens when things slow down a bit?  People visit their local furniture store or notice what is being advertised in their home furnishings magazines.  Wanna know what's the latest furniture fashion?  Think black..the color black...glossy black..matt black..or semi-gloss black. Black chairs and black table legs and table band with natural wood finish top.

Don't forget the distressed look black...that is a prime coat of ruddy brown and then black over that wiped away to show ruddy brown underneath.  Confused don't be! Here's the best part...Cedarberry refinishers can do this and you can be the first on your block with the newest furniture fashion. 

The best kept secret is that underneath it all is your old furniture.  You save big bucks! Just bring tear out the page in the magazine and email it to us. (Cedarberry1@United.net) and we will make your old furniture all new again.

Beware of Furniture "Made in China"

Be very wary of any furniture made in China!  Even professional American furniture makers can be fooled.  Nevertheless, upon closer examination it is very difficult to find any real wood underneath what appears to be a fantastic furniture finish.  How can this be you say? Well for starters the Chinese have perfected an incredible method of "molding" what looks like wood, but is really particles suspended in glue and then cut into uniform sizes.

As if that isn't shocking enough the really incredible deception comes next and that is is the final finish.  Here is where the Chinese perform miracles using a razor thin combination plastic/paper covering with a stamped on grain pattern.  Next they have final finishers and/or artists apply really great stains and glazes to fool most furniture buyers.

This Chinese deception is really uncovered quick when the furniture needs a repair or professional touch up. A scratch or tear is virturally impossible to repair. And worst case senario is that for sure this Chinese furniture cannot be stripped at all.  We have customers who have paid $4,000 or more for a dining room set only to find out there is no wood to be found in the table or chairs.
