I originally highly recommended Amanda and Hillbilly Barter and Trading Company. Amanda refinished the top of my farm table beautifully. I was very pleased with the results and immediately wrote a very positive review. A few days after Amanda returned the table, I sat down at it with a client. The table wobbled so badly that my tea almost fell off the table. The client who had sat there before for meetings said that the legs hadn’t been screwed in properly. I contacted Amanda and she was willing to come over and fix it. But that never happened … she’d collected her money and wasn’t interested in fixing her mistake free of charge. Instead, she blamed it on the faulty table design- the screws attaching the legs to the table weren’t any good because the holes were too big. However, when she picked up the table, she decided to remove the legs. She had trouble removing 3 legs and was unable to remove the fourth. So I’m stuck with a table that wobbles so much that it’s almost useless. After Amanda didn’t carry through on her promise to fix it, I reported the issue to Thumbtack. She isn’t responding to any of their calls or texts. I would never hire that company again. Yes, the table top is nice but it wobbles so much that it really can’t be used.

They are so nice and helpful! Hillbilly Barter &Trading gave me advice on how to try and fix the damage myself. If it doesn’t work, I will definitely send them my furniture to refinish because they are are trustworthy and skilled.

I recently hired Hillbilly Barter&Trading company to refinish my dining room table. My table had a number of scratches, stains and dulled finish. I included photos of the before and after. Working with Amanda and her team at Hillbilly Barter&Trading company was a great experience. The estimate given was the most reasonable I obtained after contacting a number of professionals and companies near where I live. The work done by Amanda and her team is truly amazing and my table was returned to me today in time for Christmas. It looks as good as new and now has a more durable finish than before. The work done exceeded my expectations and I appreciate the ease of communication and timeliness of both pick up and drop off. I’ve been wanting to have this done for years and couldn’t be happier with the result. I will definitely contact Hillbilly Barter&Trading company in the future for any furniture repairs as they provide excellent and professional service at a reasonable price!

It's so convenient to have the pickup and delivery of furniture to be refinished. I really appreciate that! I had them refinish a dresser and the matching mirror. It's a well made, functional dresser but was beat up and ugly. They stripped off the stain and it was very pretty wood underneath. They restained it cherry and it's really a nice piece now and I'm glad I invested in fixing it up. They also repaired a broken leg and stained some wooden knobs to replace some missing ones to match the existing ones. I plan to use Hillbilly Barter and Trading Co to fix up other furniture we have.
