[Highland Park] Trouble getting our dining room chairs back from repair (fwd)
Can anyone help? Last year there was a Post Gaz. article about a father and son custom furniture business who also do repairs. The article had photos of their large studio and was quite flattering about how the father, now in his 70's had created or replicated many great pieces for prominent Pittsburghers. In March, I telephoned them and spoke with the father who ultimately came by and picked up 4 antique chairs to be repaired. He was very nice and we had a good visit: widower, lives in Churchill, etc. has very bad knees, etc. We were not in a great hurry but I phoned him in early May and he said that he was just touching up the finish and could deliver them the next week. After I hear nothing more and could not reach him by phone, my husband and I drove over to the business in Millvale and found it locked but could see the shop through the window (in an old brick warehouse with no sign). As we are now out of town, I have continued to try to reach him both at the business phone and at home (the no. for which I had to get online, no lising in the Pgh. directory). The people at our house have heard nothing as well. Has anyone had any dealings with them? They are Gerald (or Jerry Garforth) Sr. and Junior.
