Does anybody know of a furniture restorer in the UAE? I have tried the search method but ended up with loads of irrelevent posts. I have also tried retailers like Marlin Furniture who look at me confused as if to say, if something gets slightly scratched, simply buy a new one. Its the Dubai throw-away mentality in evidence once more...thanks for reading.

you need to go down to Satwa and ask around in the little shops that sell the wood etc. There will be someone there who can help I am sure of it.

I had some of those ring stains on my table (from glasses) and was told to rub some olive oil into the table - worked a treat

You want a top jobbie or just a run of the mill polishing thing???

Anything would help...its for a UK family whose furniture has arrived here in a scratched/chipped condition and their insurance company insist upon local estimates...thanks.

It seems like a good business opportunity for somebody with the necessary talent.

lionheart...i read on another forum ages ago about somewhere in jumeirah centre that does this. I live right next to it, so will have a look over the next couple of days if you like...don't know how urgent this is though...

Madam Medusa

Thanks for trying...it seems that there are quite a few skilled professions conspicuous by their absence over here.
