A Must Have For All Furniture Repairs,
By Carmen Chice (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Furniture Repairs from A to Z : A Quick Reference Guide of Tips and Techniques (Paperback)
This book is an excellent reference manual for home furniture repairs. The alphabetical listings make it very simple to look up tips without having to do extensive research. The repairs can all be done with things found in your house, making them inexpensive and easy to complete. I can't think of a better reference guide for repairing your own furniture.

My choice,
By Kevin Lamb (So. Cal.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Furniture Repairs from A to Z : A Quick Reference Guide of Tips and Techniques (Paperback)
I had to make a quick decision.....I had some emergency repairs I was trying to get to. I am not a professional.I wanted a "dictionary" of suggestions.....this book did exactly what the title promised. there are a lot of clever tips here....stuff you would never think of, let alone hear about. "Three thumbs up."
