Salvador did a fantastic job refinishing my 10 foot dining table. Not only was the table ready before the agreed date but he was polite and professional from beginning to end.I am so pleased with the end result. I will definitely use him in the future and will recommend him to all my friends and relatives.Thank you Salvador!

I am incredibly happy with the work of Sal on 4 dining chairs that he matched to a pedastool table. The chairs were new but didn't match the new pedastool table they came with. I liked the set so decided to take these chairs into Sal and he agreed anything he did would look better than what they were. I had family coming into town so he only had 2 weeks to get the stain to match it. It was a double process of using 2 colors and it bothered him greatly to get it right on a sample for my approval to move on and do the chairs. He stressed over it more than I did because it was very difficult to match up but he accomplished the task. What I like best about Sal, is he treated my project very personal and really stressed to make it right. I highly recommend Sal for any furniture refinishing. Rhonda Domeno

Salvador does amazing work. He stripped and refinished out dresser, chest and nightstand. He worked with us to select the correct color and finish. He worked quickly and delivered a showroom quality product. Like new.

I WAS the oldest Refinishing/furniture repair shop/business before retiring in 2018 and when I was overwhelmed with business, Salvador @ Classics was the customers only alternative. . In some way Salvador exceeded my abilities and put him on equal or better than my service could provide. . If you want excellence--Classics Refinishing on Parker St in Orange, Ca.

We had a table that needed to be refinished to go with our new darker decor and a new piano. Salvador did a fantastic job, the table looks better than new! It competes with the new piano as the showpiece for our living room!

Sal and his team reupholstered and refinished four items for me. I have to say that I am so pleased with the work! My husband and I have been lugging these four pieces around for a few years. They were older items, but solid. Every time I'd go furniture shopping to replace these items, I was dissatisfied with what I could get at my price point. I don't mind paying money for things but there's a certain plastic-y look that I just didn't want. My mother would often reupholster/refinish furniture but my husband was resistant to spend the money on our old things. Finally, I told my husband that I just wanted to spend the money to refinish our items. I loved our furniture, they just needed some love. Plus, I liked the idea of using the items that we have in our possession. We visited Sal's workshop. He gave me an estimate and we worked from there. In my case, the chair and ottoman were an Eames dupe from Room and Board. That chair was a pain to reupholster and the leather was not cheap. But, the result was worth every penny. It looks like a million bucks! The coffee table that my parents bought when they got married in the seventies also looks amazing! I gasped when Sal lifted the cover off of it. Our other chair that needed repair looks great as well. I can't even tell it was broken.

David did such an amazing job assembling my bed at a fair price, than after a few weeks I called him again so he could help me with a desk and a dresser. He's really professional and goes beyond what's expected (One of the desk drawers was broken and he did a great job fixing it). I'd recommend David any time!

I've been here several times in the past year to fix up and refinish antique or vintage furniture pieces I've acquired. We had him refinish the surface of an old vanity, repair chipped and broken sections of a unique vintage armoire, add hinges and patch up broken drawers - and every time the results have been wonderful and the prices very fair. I recommend Sal and his shop if you need any work done on wooden furniture.

Salvador has been incredibly helpful and I can't recommend him highly enough. I found him through a referral from a trusted, high end antique dealer many years ago. He refinished and partially rebuilt the mechanism and structure of my massive, antique desk. It had warped after moving from a very damp part of the country to SoCal. He was very reasonable (I didn't get another estimate but the price seemed very fair). I was in the process of moving at the time, so he came out , disassembled it, worked on it while I moved to my new place. Then he delivered and installed it. It's like a brand new desk and still perfect several years later but with all the character still of the antique. Amazing. He recently came over to help me with one of my antiques and assess some other pieces and was very honest about the cost to repair them and whether it would be worth it, basically advising against spending the money at the time. He gave me pointers on how to improve the pieces myself, to enjoy them more. Seriously, he's a gem. Thank you Salvador!!!!!

So thankful I found Salvador, a trusted craftsman, referred to me by an antique store in Orange. He took my 100+yr old Antique table and chairs, repaired (made missing pieces) and sanded them with patience and care to not disturb the fine carvings. He then had me help decide the depth of stain and finish to be sure I was happy with the beautiful outcome. You can trust your precious family heirlooms in his hands!

If I could give 10 starts I would. Salvador is not just a furniture restoration guy; he's artisan, a craftsman and a creative professional! This man restored my grandmothers table which is at least 80 years old to a new life. This table had been abused for 16 years and had awful stains, sun damage, chunks missing and worse. He not only made this table like new he fixed all of the chairs and re-did the cushions with new material as well. It's like a brand new! It's gorgeous! I get countless complements on my "brand new table" from guests ; ) He must have put 40 hours into sanding, staining, and fixing everything on this dining set. I could not be happier! He not only does amazing work he is a pleasure to work with. He did the whole thing in a matter of weeks and did me and my mother countless favors along the way. His prices and fair (lower than the other places I called) and he did it well under the time he estimated. If you have any doubts about where to take your furniture, have no worry. Take them them here to Salvador, you are in good hands and your wallet will be fuller for using him and not someone else! 10 Stars!!!!!

Salvador at Classic Furniture Refinishing did a fabulous job on a Victrola cabinet. The finish on the top was coming off and I no longer cared for the color. He picked it up and it was completed within two weeks or less. He brought it back and I was so happy. It couldn't have turned out better! The color of the finish was perfect! It was exactly the color that I told Salvador I wanted. He took the time to look at a couple of other antique pieces that I have to tell me what wood they were made of. Salvador was very polite and helpful. I am disabled and he even helped by doing a chore. I made a fabulous choice by choosing Classic Furniture.

Salvador is very responsive and does excellent quality work. I love how he refinished our old table. Just like we wanted. A painted top and white washed legs. Done and back home in under 2 weeks.
