Why Restore??? The furniture you own, just inherited, or are thinking about refinishing or repairing is an important part of history. It’s probably made of better material (real woods and wood veneers) and was crafted to be durable and serviceable for many years. If you have bought new furniture in the last 20 years you have seen this is usually not the case. Most new furniture is made from ground paper and wood pulp with an ever thinning wood veneer and construction techniques that are questionable at best. Use of plastics is at an all time high. Although newer furniture is somewhat serviceable it can be more expensive to repair than your older quality constructed pieces. Good refinishing brings back vibrant original colors and showcases the wood under modern more durable coatings that offer beauty and protection. Quality structural and cosmetic repair can economically put a piece back in service that may have been otherwise discarded. Restoring makes since environmentally too since the furniture restoration process uses less than 10% of the energy and natural resources that are required in new manufacturing. Sound interesting???

We have just received confirmation from the New Albany Chamber of Commerce concerning our road in front of the Furniture Physicians shop on RT. 62...
NEWSFLASH…
Important Road Closure Notice from the
Village of New Albany…
US Route 62 will be closed between Smith Mill Road and Central College Road from
July 14 thru August 22, 2008 for construction activities relating to roadway widening and
aesthetic enhancements. Local traffic ONLY will be permitted.
We are assuming Local traffic means that you can at least get to our office but we still are urging you to call ahead. UPDATE- Well, we're already having trouble getting people in and out of our shop area. Please call our main 614-855-9720 phone number and talk to Lora or Jules BEFORE you come to our shop. They will give you simple directions to a storage facility that is only one mile from our shop location for much easier in-shop pick-up and delivery.
Pickup and Delivery... This is a special request from our daughter, Lora. She does all of the scheduling of pick-up and delivery for our shop plus her many other duties. Please be patient with her on scheduling as she has strict rules from us on NOT sending our truck on single runs. Gas has now flying past that $4 per gallon range and our box van gets 8 m.p.g on a good day. We must "loop" or consolidate many people to fill that van just to try and break even. She'll try to give you several times that we might be in your area and limit your time window to a 2 or 3 hour period. We think that's fair. The last time I requested cable service they told us they would be here, oh, sometime between Monday through Wednesday from 8 to 6 daily! Thanks for your co-operation!- Darrel
Okay! Finally, we have made some changes to the web site. First you will notice that we do indeed have a Picture Gallery here now. Just tap on that name in the left column and you'll be taken to our gallery of some Before and After pictures. We are still working on size and quality of these pictures but those should help you visualize what we do at Furntiure Physicans. Next notice the Restoration News. Tap on that name and you will be taken to the area of specials, promotions, e-newsletter and we'll even throw in restoration and conservation tips as well. It doesn't matter if you are a new customer or you're just shopping here you should go there and see what's current and you might even save some money!
