★★★★★
Magnificent restoration of our caned chairs. Amazing craftsmanship. I highly recommend!G.F
★★★★★
I had a wonderful experience reupholstering my vintage sofa with Olek! While not the lowest estimate I received, the questions they asked at the upfront gave me the confidence that they were the most qualified to rehab my sofa - and I'm so glad I chose them. They were communicative throughout the process and recommended high-quality fabrics. My couch looks beautiful and sits like new. I highly recommend!
★★★★★
Olek is just amazing - there is no other way to describe my experience with them! Peter Triestman is not only extremely knowledgeable, his honesty in recommending an efficient solution is way beyond what we have gotten used to seeing these days. He found a solution to my very unusual problem in the most cost-efficient way that anyone can imagine
★★★★★
Olek is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and attentive to detail. It made me very confident that my two custom restorations were going to turn out perfectly. These people are informed professionals and pleasant to work with.
★★★★★
Fantastic work!
★★★★★
I had 5 pieces of wood furniture each 100+ years old restored by Olek and I couldn't be happier with the work they did. Each piece was returned to me in the time frame estimated in excellent condition both structurally and aesthetically. Their craftsmanship is totally worth the price. I also was pleased with their customer service. They explained what they were doing with each piece and provided any optional choices before proceeding.
★★★★★
I didn't realize how terrible my antique chest on chest looked until Peter and his team worked their magic on it. Their craftsmanship is flawless. May the piece live for at least another 200 years!
★★★★★
The shock mounts on our 50 year old Eames lounge chair failed. In addition to repairing them, we had the leather upholstery treated, the wood refinished and the metal buffed. The quality of the workmanship was superb, the turnaround time was prompt, and the people we dealt with were knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. Didn't come cheap, but the result was worth every penny.
★★★★★
Olek, Inc. was very professional in speaking with me via e-mails as well as in the actual work with my chairs. They really did a beautiful job. The work was expensive, but for me was worth it.
★★★★★
Peter and his team did a beautiful job of refinishing and repairing the veneer on our antique, oval dining table.
★★★★★
The team at Olek did a wonderful job restoring and repairing our almost-150-year-old doors on our home. They worked with us to come up with a plan that was functional, within our budget, and still provided a major aesthetic upgrade. Our doors look wonderful and feel durable and secure!
★★★★★
Easy communication, amazing work
★★★★★
Unreal. Honestly I’m blown away by what they’re capable of. My piece is better than new.
★★★★★
They did a beautiful job reupholstering my original Eames Lounge. It’s like new.
★★★★★
OLEK is, without a doubt, a superior furniture restoration and reupholstery workroom, so conveniently located in Essex County, New Jersey. From an everyday job to historic repairing of wood, iron, car materials, historic windows, fabric and much more, Peter and his crew work wonders and inform you every step of the way. We had a set of four Indonesian Mahogany chairs restored that we snagged on bulky waste night at curbside, as well as other mid-century modern chairs that needed a little TLC. Cost is reasonable and care is something from days gone by. Call Peter or Yan today. You can't imagine how pleased you will be!
★★★★★
Delighted with Olek's immaculate and timely work to reupholster our set of 6 Vienna Secession dining chairs. The "before" and "after" difference is remarkable! Now, we can really enjoy them. Beauty and utility restored! Thank you to the whole Olek team for the excellent job and smooth process. A pleasure!
★★★★★
I reached out to Peter for some information regarding a damaged chair, not only did he help me but went above and beyond to make sure I could repair the chair with ease. Would highly recommend using Olek!
★★★★★
STUNNED!!! Pleasantly! After a protracted storage period for some treasured furnishings, I had the unfortunate experience of seeing the effects of time, lack of care and the elements had on them. From rust to degraded fabric and components (wheels, casters, wiring) to chipped, faded wood and brass trim.I feel extremely lucky to have found Olek, Inc. in Orange, New Jersey. As I sent photos of an Herman Miller Eames office chair, Knoll Albini desk, Anglepoise Floor and table lamps and a unique Art Deco Rosewood side table they quickly offered to restore all of them with confidence. EVEN after seeing them in person.They worked to explain the processes required since Ihonestly thought these were all "lost" for good.Thrilled to report that was not the case. As a matter of fact, I am posting here willingly because of the outstanding result on every single piece. Not only has every piece been restored to the original beauty but the Rosewood table specifically (made of a combination of Rosewood, steel plates and casters as wheels) looks better than when originally bought. I cannot express how pleased I am with the results.Cleary Peter and his team are extremely professional. They took the time and care to bring these pieces back from what I assumed was disrepair (if not despair).As importantly, they listened.DTEN
★★★★★
They were able to recreate missing pieces from our mirror and restore the mirror to look even better than it ever did! Beautiful work! We were very pleased and very grateful for the attention to details
★★★★★
Olek, Inc. restored and reupholstered a vintage Eames lounge and ottoman for my client with beautiful results. They have a deep knowledge of the various versions and constructions of the piece, and offer excellent communication about the process. We took advantage of their pickup and delivery service, and opted for a leather from their offerings that is true to the style of the original piece. I would highly recommend Olek for reupholstery services and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.
★★★★★
The nice folks at Olek have now done two jobs for me; both restorations of Eames side chairs. The work they did was excellent, there was good turn around time, and they communicated with me very quickly. I'm really happy to have found such a professional operation for furniture restoration and I highly recommend them.
★★★★★
Outstanding! I had a 1970s leather barrel chair repaired -- new cushioning for the seat and part of the leather replaced. The seat feels totally comfortable and the leather is a perfect match. I also had 1980s dining room chairs repaired -- new seat cushioning and new fabric. This, also, was a perfect repair job. The skills of the folks at this shop are off the charts excellent! Plus, Peter, Yan, the technicians I met, and even the dogs, are all very cool. Unique!
★★★★★
My mother owns an antique black lacquered coffee table with three porcelain medallions. The table had seen better days with the lacquer flaking off, joints becoming unstable and overall this beautiful piece looked rough. I brought the table to Olek’s furniture restoration shop and they detailed all of work required and the inlays and colors used. After many painstaking weeks and many emails, Peter and his team returned the table back to my mom. To say we did not recognize it would be an understatement. The table did not look shiny and new but age appropriate and pristine. It was gorgeous! We get countless compliments and have had several offers to buy the table. I would recommend Olek to anyone serious about having their furniture professionally and expertly restored. You will not be disappointed.
★★★★★
First class experience all around. A beautiful repair to our iconic Eames lounge chair. After the initial shockmount repair, we had Olek precisely restore upholstery and the original rosewood -- looks spectacular! Wonderful customer service as well — highly recommend.
★★★★★
We had two very unusual objects in very bad shape. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I had a feeling that these two repairs would be in good hands. The results are amazing! This made a very special gift to my husband as both objects were family heirlooms. He was thrilled. I appreciate the professionalism, high quality repair and stellar skill set of all those craftsman who are part of OLEK. If you have the money to take care of something really special, this is the place to get it done, and done extremely well! I am thankful for these people!
★★★★★
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!
★★★★★
I bought my Eames Chair in 1989. Its been reasonably well cared for but used almost daily for all those years. Olek has been my go to for all necessary service on the chair. I can't say enough good about Peter and his company. They're very professional. They communicate with you as to what needs to be done This last work was replacing the cushions on both the ottoman and the chair. The leather matches perfectly. Thanks Peter and all for a making my chair whole again.
★★★★★
Olek did a wonderful job restoring my grandmothers Federal Period secretary desk to its former glory. The desk was badly water damaged and they were able to make it look like new! We are so happy with the final results.
★★★★★
If you have furniture that needs to be refinished, Olek Restoration does an excellent job. The craftspeople are experts-- Peter was able to explain the process to me clearly and accurately. Our table and chairs now look amazing. The finish is perfect- the texture of the wood really comes through. Olek also restored our little rocking chair for the next generation. Everything looks great in a completely natural and gentle way. I highly recommend Olek.
★★★★★
Peter and the team at Olek did amazing work refinishing, rebuilding, and reweaving chairs I received from my parents. Now they are ready for the next 50 years of everyday use. They are absolutely gorgeous, a pleasure to sit in, and look brand new, but with the memories of growing up with them. Wonderful work, amazing craftspeople with evident respect for the art and tradition of the pieces they work on.
★★★★★
When my vintage Eames lounge chair suddenly broke in two I found several places that claimed to specialize in such restoration. I am so glad that I picked Oleck. Peter Triestman and the men he works with are true artists and experts at furniture restoration. I would trust them with furniture from any period and plan on bringing them other fine furniture I have that needs serious repair. They returned all of my emails quickly, answered questions, and picked up and returned the furniture in great time. Thank you Olek!
★★★★★
Wonderful job restoring an Aalto chair that belonged to my father. The frame needed to be re-doweled and refinished. Looks great!
★★★★★
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!
★★★★★
My Park Avenue client needed a custom carved mantel mirror and additional repairs to his antique mantelpiece. Olek was able to provide the nicest, incredibly talented wood craftsman I have ever had the pleasure to work with. We watched Yuri do work on site and were simply enthralled with his professionalism and surprisingly quick work. I just want to find more work for him; it was so fun. Thank you to Mr.Triestman for organizing the work and keeping us on track.
★★★★★
Wonderful service …from my initial conversation regarding the work that needed to be done on my chairs to the pickup and delivery of my newly restored chairs (from 1950’s teak and upholstered … needed the chair joints tightened) all was done professionally and courteously. Could not be happier with Olek Inc and Peter and his crew. Would highly recommend. The company has been doing this for many years now and they definitely do fine work!
★★★★★
OLEK is the BEST. They refinished two dressers, four tables, two cabinets, old barrister bookcase, two chairs, and bench. The bench was re-upholstered and everything was done perfectly. All my pieces were extremely delicate and all family heirlooms. OLEK is so knowledgable about best way to repair and refinish. In fact, some of the pieces were refinished about 5 years ago at another place and were NOT done correctly. I whole-heartedly recommend OLEK. They even fixed several drawers that were difficult to open. I had no idea how much I now love it when all drawers are SO EASY TO OPEN plus everything smells great. There is no better feeling to have cherished pieces that look and FUNCTION so well. I am using the barrister bookcase in my kitchen to hold beautiful glasses and dishes. The pickup occurred during apt renovation. Everything went smoothly and timeframe promised worked perfectly. Do not give up on old wood antiques. NOTHING LOOKS BETTER! I AM SO HAPPY WITH OLEK's work and give them highest recommendations!!!
★★★★★
Had Olek restore an Asian cabinet that had been in my wife’s family for years. The reviews on this company don’t do them justice. They took the cabinet that looked absolutely terrible and restored it to like new. They definitely know what they are doing ans it was worth every penny. Would definitely recommend them without reservation.
★★★★★
Beautifully restored my mother's Eames chair.
★★★★★
I recently had a Victorian parlor chair and a ships wheel restored. From start to finish it was a pleasure doing business with this company. I highly recommend Olek and will definitely use them again.
★★★★★
Great service!I sent photos of my damaged Eames lounge chair - received a reply in less than 24 hours with an estimated cost; received timely and useful communications throughout the process (including helpful instructions for disassembling and shipping as well as an update with an option for further restoration) and got the chair back fully restored in a couple of weeks.
★★★★★
Excellent work repairing an arm on my Eames Lounge chair. The leather they used matches the original, unlike the seat which was reupholstered by Herman Miller. Highly recommended.
★★★★★
Sent in an antique chair for repairs. Repairs were amazing and reconditioned the chair to it's original luster! Extremely happy with the final result. Thanks for the wonderful craftsmanship and quick repairs.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We sent Olek a boring, aging dining table and received back an object of art. We are ecstatic at having discovered the existence of such incomparable high-grade craftsmanship.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
★★★★★
Olek Inc recovered and replaced a backer board on my Eames lounge chair and ottoman. This chair is nearly 50 years old and is very special to me, so I was nervous about sending the cushions away to be refurbished. Yan Zhang at Olek explained the process over the phone and then in an email. The cost was itemized ahead of time and then again upon receiving and evaluating the cushions. Yan stayed in touch with me every step of the way. My Eames chair and ottoman cushions were returned promptly and in beautiful condition. The design of the chair allows for easy reassembly. It should last another 50 years.
★★★★★
Best in the business! There is no project to big (or too small) and they are responsive and professional. They are true artists, and the quality of the work is exceptional. Highly recommended.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

★★★★★

★★★★★
Peter Triestman and the skilled team at Olekdid an absolutely fabulous job on our vintage Hans Wegner table. It was in really bad shape and we are very happy with the job that they did!-Communication wasn’t always the best as they don’t always respond to emails, so it’s best to call them.-They are not cheap. We paid more for the refinish/ restoration than for the table itself, but it was worth it!We will use Olek again.PositiveQuality, Professionalism
★★★★★
Peter Triestman from Olek Restoration did a beautiful job with three pieces of furniture. Very professional. Will definitely use his talent and services again.
★★★★★
I just got my chairs back, beautifully repaired, reupholstered, and given new life with lustrous distressed leather. Great communication too. Very pleased with the results. Thanks!

Olek team did an amazing job on my vintage Eames Lounge and Ottoman. I highly recommend them. David was also a really good client representative and answered all my questions quickly.PositiveProfessionalism
★★★★★
We have been wanting to properly repair and upholster a 1960's era Eames chair and Ottoman for many years. We've been looking for someone who understands both leather and the mid-century design. Olek fills this niche perfectly.Our chair was given to me by a mentor, and we wanted it repaired and refurbished without compromising the original structure and materials. Olek knows Eames. They understand the materials, how the chair is constructed, and how to properly repair damage. Their repairs are in keeping with the original design intent, including using high quality leather and carefully preserving what they can from the original chair.Thank you for the quality workmanship, your care, and keeping us apprised of the work as it progressed.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
★★★★★
My genuine Herman Miller rosewood Eames chair and ottoman dating from 1979 was in need of reupholstering. I also had 3 cushions from my Corbusier LC2 sofa that were worn. Based on a Google search and reviews, I blindly sent off my valuable furniture to Olek for repair. Boy did I luck out! David and Peter kept me apprised of their progress along the way and the results are stunning! The leather is exactly the same as the original leather circa 1979 (not the lower-grade leather currently used by Herman Miller). It's butter soft and beautiful. I highly recommend Olek, especially if you're refurbishing mid-century furniture like the classic Eames lounge chair.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
★★★★★
Dealing with David and Yuriy at Olek was painless and easy. Yuriy did a great job repairing the shock mounts on my eames chair.
★★★★★
I had a very good experience and recommend for restoration and or furniture repair. Two Eames dining chairs came out great. Quick turnaround time. Knowledgeable and very professional.UPDATE- November 2020. Mathsson Lounge chair and ottoman. WonderfulRestoration. OLEK did another amazing job beautifully restoring a family heirloom. Thank you Peter !

I brought a fiberglass piece to Olek that was damaged during overseas shipping. They picked up, fixed it perfectly, and re-delivered to me. Looks GREAT! Thank you!!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
★★★★★
Extremely Talented Team! I started off talking to the owner Peter, who responded promptly to my request and after sharing some photos, provided me with a quote and put me in touch with David. David, who's friendly personality instantly clicked with me took care of all the details and arranged the pickup and the delivery. David was responsive, knowledgeable, and comforting. Dexter picked up and delivered the pieces. Dexter is one of the nicest, friendliest, most careful delivery people I've ever worked with. He lovingly wrapped all the pieces and somehow fit them perfectly into this small minivan then brought them back even more lovingly and placed each one carefully into position in my home. The work done by OLEK was exceptional! I loved these pieces in my grandmothers home as a child, then they were passed on to my mother, then passed to me. Well worn with time and use, veneer missing in many places, crazed surfaced. I am pleased to say that now they look amazing! I have attached before and after pictures of the pieces. Thank you Peter and your wonderful team at OLEK!
★★★★★
When the cane seat of our antique settee finally gave way, I was devastated. I loved that little bench! I did some research to find a company that could take out the old caning and re-do the seat. It would be painstaking hand work. Olek Inc. came to the rescue! Peter was professional and asked numerous questions before thoughtfully putting together a proposal and a price. I picked up the bench this morning. The workmanship was beautiful! The bench looks amazing! And there were no surprise cost increases or delays! I highly recommend Olek for any and all furniture restoration projects. I will use them again!
★★★★★
We had an original DCW Eames chair with the back fallen off due to deterioration of the mounts. Also it had been carelessly repainted to cover up who knows what, back in the day. Olek reattached the back and refinished the red color to its original state. Olek was fair, honest, and direct in their dealings. The work was impeccable and timely. The best recommendation is "no complaints," which is another way of saying, "everything fully realized as promised with no hassles." They've earned our trust for any restoration we might ever need.
★★★★★
Our Eames-like lounge chair and ottoman were in sad shape after 30+ years of lounging and elevating feet. We couldn’t let it go though.The craftsmen at Olek did a terrific job re-upholstering, re-finishing and adjusting, and our contact David was very helpful and responsive. The chair is home again in great shape and I hope my children will enjoy it for another 30.
★★★★★
When the shock mount on one side of our Eames Chair gave out and cracked the wood on the "ear" of the chair, we were very distraught. Once I packed the chair for shipping, David and his craftsmen had the crack repaired with four new shock mounts in about a week (including the New Year's holiday)! The chair is now back where it is supposed to be, ready for what life throws at it again. Very Satisfied in the quality of the repair, the timeliness of the process, they get my highest recommendation. Art Graham, East Hampton, NY
★★★★★
They repaired/restored a late 1800s/early 1900s door from a cottage in Wildwood. The door had extensive damage with missing panels and cracked wood. When I tried to find people to do the work, most carpenters refused the job due to the amount of damage, but Olek was up for the job and did amazing work replacing the missing panels/wood and bringing the door back to life.
★★★★★
Restored my barcelona chair cushions. Great job!
★★★★★
They did a magnificent job restoring my late grandparents' antiques. The quality of work was excellent and so was the service. Thank you!
★★★★★
They did a very good job restoring my grandfather's Danish teak and leather chair. David was very good about communicating options along the way and the result was amazing!
★★★★★
We called Olek to replace the shock mounts on our 50 year old Eames chair, as well as sew on a button that had come loose. The job was completed much sooner than promised, and the chair feels solid and ready for another 50 years. David was very communicative and answered all my questions quickly.
★★★★★
They did a great job restoring my beloved 20 year old Eames Lounge Chair by replacing the shock mounts and sewing button back on seat cushion. David went out his way to see that the restored chair was delivered back to me in a timely fashion.
★★★★★
It’s taken me way too long to acknowledge the extraordinary job these miracle workers did on my Hans Wegner Shellback chair, but now that I’ve been living with it for a while, I can say that I feel grateful to them each time I sit on it or gaze adoringly at it from across the room.They repaired and rebuilt the frame, rewove the seat, and honored my request to leave the old finish as it was, even giving me instructions on how to do it myself in case I ever want to. They communicated clearly throughout the process, promptly answered all of my questions, were a pleasure to deal with, and completed the beautiful job faster than promised at a reasonable price. They even sent photos of the process so I was able to enjoy watching it be reborn.I can’t recommend Peter and his crew highly enough.Here are the before and after shots –Martha Glenn
★★★★★
We had an original Eames chair that needed a lot of TLC. Olek and David restored it to “like-new” condition at a reasonable cost! We are thrilled with their work and customer service.
★★★★★
The interior woodwork of my modernist chrome chair was broken, and Olek was able to remove the chair's vintage fabric, reconstruct the interior wood frame, and replace the original fabric. The chair looks exactly like its identical mate--one would never know there had been a problem. A miracle, really! Thank you, Peter!
★★★★★
New leather on seat and arm came out absolutely perfect. You cannot tell the difference between old and new. Thanks for an excellent job.This is the after picture. How great is this?
★★★★★
Their craftsmen worked on restoring the faux wood finish on the interior of my antique automobile. The result was outstanding! I highly recommend Olek.
★★★★★
My father gave me his Eames chair with ottoman many years ago. When I brought it to my home and went to sit in it, the rubber attachments that hold the chair back to the chair base were so old and dried out that I fell backward through the chair. I looked for a good company that could repair it and call Olek. The people at this company are so, so nice. They really take the time to look at your piece and tell you exactly what has to be done. Olek told me that it needed a few things. The newer better rubber mounts, some wood repair from age and use (that was apparent) and I wanted it recovered from the black vinyl that dad had it recovered in decades ago to an appropriate black leather. It cost me about $3,800.00, but it's not worth about $14,000 based on two things. It looks new and it's a first series, low serial number edition which the metal decals on the bottom of the chair say it is. Thank you Olek and your team for doing such a wonderful job. I love the chair.
★★★★★
My beloved Poul Jensen Z couch suffered a tragic accident in which one her teak legs was shattered. As soon as I started my research for repair - which I didn't actually think was possible - Olek came up. Over and over in my research they came up. I called and spoke with David, who assured me they could repair it. I sent my photos to Peter, who sent me a quote straight away.I sent my leg to them from California, crossed my fingers and waited.Holy cats! You seriously cannot tell a repair was made. It's magic I tell you. The person who did the actual work is an artisan named Yuri. Thank you Yuri, it's beautiful and perfect. Thanks to David and Peter as well for their professionalism, quick turn around and for listening to me sob out my story.
★★★★★
I delivered a 1952 Bovirke danish settee in need of a complete renovation. The teak and oak frame was structurally unsound, chipped and split, and original upholstery with horse hair construction in much need of replacement and refurbishment. Olek did an amazing job overhauling the wood frame with delicate care and replacing the upholstery, all while keeping the piece's original shape and patina. I highly recommend them.
★★★★★
Excellent overall repair of my 1973 Eames chair! The rosewood has a slight 'scar' but is not visible from 2-3 feet away. I appreciate the work and effort that goes into restoring an older chair like this and will recommend this service to everyone I know. Thanks again!
★★★★★
Olek did a great job fixing my broken Eames chair. David was always professional and courteous and I am thoroughly satisfied with the entire experience. Thank you!
★★★★★
Fantastic service! My 40 year old Eames chair was looking sad and neglected. Olek reupholstered the arm rests where elbow pressure had caused rips and holes. They re-stuffed the seat and back cushions, also. The chair now looks better than new. Their new leather matches the old very well. The vintage chairs have a different look than the new ones, and mine now looks like a well cared for rosewood/black classic Eames chair. David, the sales rep was very helpful with advice, and pricing was well within line for the beautiful work they do. Fast service as well. A+++
★★★★★
My original Eames dining chair from 1950 was in bad need of repair. A DYI job of reattaching and refinishing in the 80s held for some time until the back recently broke. I’m beyond pleased with the outcome. Not only did OLEK reattach the piece with a new gasket, the nearly 70 years of nicks in the veneer were patched and the repairs are imperceptible. David and his team of craftsmen are a rare find. I highly recommend OLEK.
★★★★★
Highly professional and accommodating. Working with David has been a real pleasure. The furniture has been restored to its original glory and the work is exquisite. Could not recommend this company more highly - five stars isn't enough!
★★★★★
When I graduated from law school (more than 4 decades ago) my parents gave me a magnificent gift, an eames chair. A beautiful and iconic piece of furniture, I was always reticent to use it on a routine basis, thinking that I would keep it pristine until I retired and spent more time sitting in it while reading, listening to music and the like. Two years ago, my parents died a month apart, and the chair took on more meaning for me as emblematic of who they were and everything they had done to make my life successful. I began to use it more regularly and, due to the degradation of one of the connectors by operation of time, the back literally broke apart. The sentimental connection that I had to it was surprising even to me, but I was sure that it would never look like anything other than an old, broken piece of furniture, even assuming that it could be repaired to be usable. I was wrong. I received it back from Olek last week and I cannot see the repair even though I know exactly where the break was. Whoever worked on the chair is more an artist than a technician. If anyone would like a picture of the repair, let me know. I'm pretty sure that you will not see it either.
★★★★★
They did a masterful restoration of a Biedermeier cabinet that I inherited as well as a beautiful (better than original) refinish of a dining room table.
★★★★★
Excellent work on refurbishing a vintage Scandinavian reclining chair; I highly recommend.
★★★★★
I have used OLek for the last 30 years to restore all my French antiques especially canned chairs and Louis XV armchairs . They have repaired rosewood side tables and refinished a modern table . Their craftsmanship is of the highest quality and their deliveries well coordinated. I highly recommend them as they care about their work.
★★★★★
My experience at Olek Lejbzon couldn’t have been more positive. They repaired my Eames chair beautifully exactly as promised. They cleaned up/resorted the finish on the thirty year old chair so that it looks virtually brand new. We worked out all the details via courteous email exchanges. All exchanges were professional and courteous. We picked up the chair yesterday. They are a first rate facility with a very wide range of carpentry and furniture restoring capabilites. I recommend them very highly
★★★★★
I'm writing this review from the comfort of my Eames Lounge Chair which was lovingly restored by the folks at Olek. Their communication was clear, they delivered even a little ahead of time, and the work is fantastic. Everything looks so absolutely period-correct that it's like the repaired parts came from new-old-stock inventory. Well done, folks. Well done.
★★★★★
Great experience with Olek. My Eames chair broke after 40 years, a very distressing event. FInding Olek on the web told me that this was in fact a frequent occurence and they would be able to fix it. Since I live in VA, I had to schedule a trip to NJ to deliver them the chair, which involved coordination as to timing of the dropoff and a plan to deliver the finished chair to my son's house.. All this worked out well with the delivery occuring only a week or so after I dropped off the chair at their plant.I'm really satisfied with this experience and look forward to many more years in my favorite chair.
★★★★★
This summer, Olek restored various pieces of antique Italian furniture for The Italian Academy at Columbia University. I could not have found another company capable of such care and talent at bringing these pieces back to life! Their team was extremely professional, and the company is great at coordinating delivery. I would highly recommend Olek to anyone looking to restore furniture!
★★★★★
Reupholstered my eames compact sofa to perfection. Feels like I bought new! Very happy with the short amount of time it took to comple the job. Price seemed OK. I would use Olek, Inc again, no question.
★★★★★
Recently had a valuable storage piece refinished by Olek for an important client. They did an absolutely stunning job and returned the piece to its original glory. In conversation with them now to do another restoration job for the same client. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
★★★★★
My wife and were thrilled with the reupholstery and restoration of our Pierre Paulin Mushroom chair and ottoman, and Olivier Mourgue Djinn chaise lounge. These pieces require stretch fabrics and they are not easy to do properly. We know from past experience having had them reupholstered before. Olek's workmanship was superb and the pieces looked like they had just come out of a French mid-century modern showroom. We also greatly appreciated being able to select from a wide range of stretch fabrics Olek had on hand from an outstanding supplier, the care given our order, the ease of the pickup and delivery, and the remarkably quick service. We look forward to working with Olek again.
