We called Mark at the Furniture Lab about an Adrian Pearsall Floating Sofa that had been damaged. The frame had badly cracked and this was NOT going to be an easy job. I got a very reasonable estimate (not the most or least expensive) but they were the most responsive and detailed. They picked up the sofa and it was back within the week. They picked up and delivered at the setup times and communication was great. But the best part is, the sofa came back looking better than new. I WILL be using the Furniture/Shoe Lab again and am grateful for the job they did!

I work in the resale industry & this was my first experience & they were highly recommended. Not only was the woman I spoke with rude, but the quote for a very small work order was ridiculously expensive. I introduced myself and the well known company I work for who is also a customer of theirs - but probably not moving forward - and she couldn't have been more cold and unwelcoming. No thanks - I'll take my business elsewhere & let my company & clients know this isn't the place they're touted to be.

Was referred here for a quicker turn around time by YSL for my purse. But with the poor customer service and attitudes here I'd rather wait the 3 months.

My pink Balenciaga designer bag was looking really, really worn and rough around the edges, its gorgeous shade faded from years of use and abuse. I called the Balenciaga shop to see if they could recondition my bag, and they told me that they would send it out to Shoe Lab. Being a smart consumer, I took note of this information and looked up Shoe Lab myself. I'm glad I did, because I ended up paying less than HALF of what Balenciaga quoted me for the same job at the same place! And all I had to do was cut out the middle man. Shoe Lab is located in a warehouse and I was a little nervous leaving
