I purchased a solid oak coffee table from Edwards Of Monmouth nearly half a century ago, and during a mojo house renovation contemplated getting rid of this piece of furniture as it had seen countless years of not only children but adult feet placed upon not not to mention the countless drinks etc. Before I tossed it in the skip with the help of another, as it’s so heavy I looked around and found The Old Joinery in Cardiff After some discussions with the wonderful owner Madeleine, I sent her of some pictures, to get a price to renovate the table. The price in itself made me decide to go for renovation, so when I delivered it to her shop and she asked me what I want done to it, i told her to give it back to me like what she is looking at never happened. I thought if I get it back half as good as that I will be best pleased with the result. The work was done in about ten days and she called me to tell me it was ready. When I turned up it was like looking at the table the day I purchased so many years ago. Thank you to you and your workers Madeleine, your work has ensured this furniture will still be in the family long after I have gone.
