Better than New: "Hank did EXCEPTIONAL work on a piece very near and dear to my heart. My grandparents ScanDesign dining table and chairs was in a sad state, with cracking teal wood, scratches and water spots... he made it look better than new, and I’m so in love! He was great to work with, and I would highly recommend him! Pictures of before and after included... because he’s just that good!" Hollis N.
Highly Recommend: "I inherited an old mahogany Wurlitzer upright piano from my grandmother that was in bad condition. The finish had been stripped, and the wood was worn and damaged from decades of use. I requested several estimates from furniture restoration companies across DFW, and Hank had the fairest estimate with an option for pickup/delivery. He also had prior experience restoring a piano similar to mine to its original condition, which made my decision even easier. It took about 2 months to complete, and Hank sent me photo updates throughout the process. The finished product is unbelievable! My 70yr old piano looks brand new! It's exactly what I was hoping for, and I couldn't have asked for better quality. Hank's craftsmanship is outstanding. I opted for the delivery service, and Reuben and his guys were very careful and professional when moving the piano and charged a fair flat rate. I highly recommend Hank and Reuben and will definitely go back with more restoration projects." Jordan G. Lovingly Restored: "Hank is the man! He lovingly restored the MCM woodwork on 2 Adrian Pearsall tables and the woodwork on an Adrian Pearsall sofa. These items were my inheritance from my dad, who was the original owner. Hank took on the project after a quote was accepted by me and he sent me pictures thru out the entire project. I’m astounded at the end results—beautiful! I know my dad is happy and proud of the results. You don’t need to look any further—Hank Tosh is your man!" Gail C. Looks Amazing: "Great experience working with Hank! He responded quickly to my request for a quote. Drop off was easy and my table looks amazing!" Suzanna S. Very Professional: "Restored our beloved Eames lounge chair and it looks fantastic. Hank was very professional, sent me photo and email updates during each step of the restoration. So happy I found him as I was about to ship the chair to NY and spend 4x for repairs. I would 100% recommend him and use him again. Added bonus, he's so kind!" Mary C.S. Knowledgeable Pro: "Hank Tosh is a knowledgeable pro who has extensive experience in working with mid century furniture. He knows how to care for it properly and how to get authentic results. This was an investment for me and he was worth it. Hank did an incredible job refinishing my 10 Heywood Wakefield dog bone chairs. They were in rough condition when I bought them. He stripped and sanded them, ensured the wood was consistent in color before applying the finish. He was an outstanding communicator throughout and sent pix at various stages of the work. My chairs look pristine! I highly recommend Hank and will use him again." Kerry S. Repeat Customer: "Hank did a excellent job refinishing my deeply gouged and scratched dining table. He was thorough and responsive to any calls or questions. I loved walking through his shop and seeing the passion he had for each piece! I will certainly be a repeat customer." Sorrel S. Better than Ever: "When my husband and I got married 22 years ago, his grandmother gave us an end table she had in her home. It was in terrible condition due to heavy use during a home remodel and I feared it would not be salvageable. I took it to Hank and he restored it to better than I ever remember it. I had no idea there was wood grain in the light colored wood! I can't wait to take our dining table from my Great Grandparents to him next." Mindy W. Superior Work: "Hank does beautiful work. He refinished my dining room chairs and it was amazing to see the wood restored to its original beauty. I also purchased bedroom furniture he had refinished and have been very pleased with it. Superior work at a reasonable price plus Hank is a great guy to work with." Marilou M. Couldn't Give a Higher Recommendation: "Hank has done such an excellent job refinishing my furniture, that I actually load it in the car and drive it 200 miles north for him to do it. (I live in Austin!) I couldn't give a higher recommendation. And he's a really nice guy to boot!" William C. Spectacular Job: "Hank rescued a Paul McCobb planner group kitchen table for me. The tabletop suffered some fairly severe water damage -- and after Hank's refinishing....there is no trace whatsoever. In addition, he removed some markings that had accumulated over time on the tabletop and the chairs. Spectacular job -- thanks, Hank!" James L. He's Your Man: "I brought Hank a table that had sat outside without maintenance for years, and now it looks like it came out of the factory back in the 1950s - probably better, actually. He was very communicative, provided behind-the-scenes photos, and made his deadline. If you have mid-century wooden furniture needing refinishing, he's your man." Eric P. Highly Recommend: "We recently moved out of storage and discovered our dining room table top had been dropped and absorbed moisture. This caused the wood to swell. Hank was able to get the top shape back correct form, strip the entire top and restain. Frankly, it looks better than when we first bought it. Hank's work is excellent and I highly recommend him. Thank you Hank." Steven S. Perfect Condition: "We were thrilled to receive our Bassett Mayan series buffet today!!! It is beautiful and in perfect condition!!! We will do business again with Hank. He is honest and his work is meticulous!" Karen K. My Go-To: "I was wandering down Henderson Ave. and after going into 2 shops and lamenting that they had such beautiful mid-century pieces that were way out of my budget and looked perfect, one of the shop owners took pity on me and shared that Hank Tosh is the man behind restoring all of the pieces. They find them, send to him to fix, and they mark up and sell. He's AMAZING--i then took a dresser that needed a LOT of work and he made it look so fantastic I am now using it in my living room so I can see it more often. He is hard working, talented and affordable. I've taken other pieces since then--he's my go-to!" Christine C. Truly Beautiful Furniture: "I first worked with Hank three years ago when I bought an old, beat-up Singer sewing table on craigslist. I was worried that the $100 I'd spent was way too much given the condition, but after a few days with Hank, it had been transformed into the most beautiful piece of furniture that I own. I was hoping to make the table presentable, but he made it truly beautiful. Since then, I've also brought him an old record cabinet that I probably had spent too much money on given its condition, and his restoration of it was also quite impressive. I also bought a beautiful Broyhill Saga coffee table from him last year. I'm sure I'll buy from him and/or use his restoration services again." Jordan M. Mid Century Modern Expert: "I've used Hank Tosh at Toshmahal for several refinishing needs including an original Arne Jacobsen table and a 1960s walnut credenza. He's a midcentury modern expert, so he understands woods and finishes from the era. I also used him to lacquer a set of mid century cane chairs. Everything has always turned out to be simply stunning, and his work is absolutely flawless. Remarkably, his prices are very reasonable. I can't say enough good things about Hank and his work!" Rebecca S. Best in the Business: "Hank refinished a Broyhill Sculptra credenza for me that needed a lot of love. The credenza turned out absolutely beautiful! Hands down, Hank is the best in the business!" Jennifer G. Stunning Results: "A couple years ago I was fortunate enough to acquire an insanely rare mid-century Clamshell Sofa designed by Seymour J. Weiner for Kodawood Furniture Company of Miami, Florida. While the Clamshell chairs are ubiquitous I have never seen a SOFA with the original upholstery. The back of the piece is wrapped in walnut that with a very tired (but original) finish. Hank refinished every bit of wood in the original finish. It looks stunning! It surely could not have looked this beautiful when it was new. His crafsmanship and ability to restore original pieces faithfully is astounding. He also refinished a mid-century side chair that I only know to refer to as a Bandak chair and have never found another one. Again - stunning results! My little Arka chair is next on the list. Thank you Hank!" Christopher C. |
