Angie's List review

"She replaced a broken cane seat on an antique high chair and made a repair a splint weave seat on another chair.
Member Comments: I brought her the chairs and she took about 2 weeks for the caning but repaired the splint seat on the spot so I didn't have to leave the chair. She did excellent work and I plan to reuse her again."

If I ever have the opportunity to recommend you, I most surely will.  Thank you so much for your time and skills!"

"Dear Emza,

Thank you for the good job you did on my chairs. That was my Dad's "hobby" after he had retired and went to a lot of auctions. He gave me a rocker that he had repaired. He was known as the "Chair-man."

"As a folklorist, I was delighted to learn about caning from someone who has a history of caning in her family. I had tried two or three times to find someone who could do a good job for me here in Columbus, but until I found Emza was very disappointed with the work. It is really specialized!! Yesterday when I got my chairs, she explained the history of the antique chair including special "new" techniques for bending the wood and information about the company that made the chair (showed me the maker's mark) and about when it was made. I started taking notes. Why not? With the 1980s chairs, she took it upon herself to remove the unbroken chair seat from one chair to put with the unbroken back caning on another so that the cane that had nicely aged would match. I didn't even think of that, and it was an extra step for her. This thoughtfulness seems to illustrate her creativeness and her love for her craft."

"The chairs were completed within the time frame provided. The job was gorgeous! The chairs are so nice, the color, the quality, the detail are all super excellent. Emza does all the work herself and is very skilled in her work. She is also professional, kind and a delight to deal with. She carefully explained all the options for finishing the chairs. She is able to do a variety of techniques which she can offer and has a examples to show you when you go in to her home shop. She thoroughly describes the process, the materials, and costs to help you make an informed decision. I am so pleased with her work and would highly recommend her services and artistry to all." -Jan O'Dea 1/13/15

"Beautiful natural rushing applied to 5 dining chairs- they look fantastic, sturdy and elegant. Great attention to detail and such a nice person to deal with. She completed the chairs as scheduled and was very helpful during the planning phase with selection of material and options. Very competent and skilled at her craft. She has my highest recommendation for quality and no hidden costs- all presented up front. A++++++"
