Our Craftsmanship Legacy
Three decades of preserving memories, restoring heritage, and bringing new life to treasured furniture pieces across Connecticut.
Where It All Began
In 1995, Michael Chen founded A Furniture Rehabilitation with a simple belief: every piece of furniture has a story worth preserving.
What started as a small workshop in Cheshire has grown into Connecticut's premier furniture restoration service. Michael's passion for woodworking, inherited from his grandfather's tool collection, drove him to perfect the art of bringing damaged pieces back to their original glory.
Over the years, we've restored over 500 pieces, from priceless antiques to everyday family furniture. Each project teaches us something new and reinforces our commitment to preserving both the function and the memory embodied in every piece.
Our Philosophy
We don't just repair furniture—we honor it.
Every restoration begins with understanding the piece's history and significance. We study construction techniques, identify original materials, and research historical context when working with antiques.
Our approach combines traditional craftsmanship with modern materials and techniques, ensuring each restored piece maintains its authenticity while gaining renewed strength and beauty that will last for generations.
We believe that well-made furniture deserves to be preserved, not discarded. Through careful restoration, we help families maintain connections to their heritage while creating new memories.
