When my husband’s grandfather passed, we inherited his beautiful 18th century drop leaf table and had it shipped from Florida. It arrived in great condition, however, one of the legs was broken and needed some TLC. My search brought me to Robbie @ Plum Studio and I am so thankful to have found him! He took one look at the table, knew exactly what to do and also knew exactly what not to do. We wanted to keep the table in it’s original condition and only wanted the leg repaired. Robbie is a master of his trade! Just being in his shop you know you have come to the perfect place and master.

First he made shelves for our antique armoire. First class. He also made wooden dowels to put the armoire together. Then my wife bought a Limbert table that was poorly packed and arrived damaged. The top was broken in half. We discussed«do it yourself» but wisely brought it to Robbie. The repair is almost invisible. Today we picked up a Native American carving that was broken in three pieces when I dropped it while hanging it. Robbie to the rescue, of course it looks great. With Robbie, craftsmanship is not dead and his prices are reasonable too!

I recently inherited many beautiful antiques from my family, and several were in sad condition. Robbie appreciated the value of our big, mahogany desk(made in 1818) and restored it to pristine condition, even with its many intricate inlays, stains, broken feet, and tattered felt writing surface. It looks truly majestic and we will be taking several other items back to Robbie. He is great to work with, extremely conscientious, and a real artist.

I have taken several pieces of furniture — which are precious to our family to Plum Studio 2 for both numerous repairs and one particular piece required some very sensitive restoration. The reason we love this guy is because he did not do as 2 other so called furniture repair men did! Robbie Bumpus is his name and he knows his stuff! These pieces of furniture now look as they always did. Anyone out there that is looking for the proper way that old furniture needs to be treated and we mean by that that it should look not brand new but authentically restored and finished as it should, then go see this guy. Easy to find and very fair pricing for this type of work. It’s difficult to find this old school style of repair and restoration.

For years our creaky kitchen chairs had needed new seats and re-gluing. When I took the worst one to Robbie, he convinced me that he could teach me how to fix them all myself! For an hour’s consultation fee, he patiently showed me how to dismantle the chair and then glue it back together. I learned which tools and glues I needed and he was wonderful in empowering me to try something that I knew nothing about. The chairs are now beautiful, sporting new seats and creaking no more. Meanwhile, seeing his craftsmanship on the projects in his studio was impressive. I recommend his work completely!

I took my mother’s antique dining room table(1850’s Edwardian) to Plum Studio and Robbie with a problem… how can it be renewed, revised and contemporized so that one day I can pass it on to my children… and they will actually want it. Robbie immediately«melded» with me on my problem and with his inspiration and obvious deep knowledge of furniture making… he created a wonderful solution and did an AMAZING job on the rebuild, refurnish. Now we have a brand new«old» table that can continue providing pleasure to my family into the next generation… Robbie is a great guy, talented and easy to work with.

We are thrilled with the magnificent work Robbie did to paint and otherwise revive our bedroom set from the 1950s. We considered buying new, but the old set was solid cherry and worth saving. Robbie experimented with different finishes and proposed a flat gray that turned out to be perfect. He also restored the hardware. We cherish these pieces now. He was a pleasure to work with, and his services were a great value.

I took a desk in for refinishing at Plumb Studio recently and was amazed at the results. It is a very old desk and falling apart, but the owner — Robbie Bumpus — performed magic and made it into a show piece. The studio itself is down an alley and somewhat hard to find if you are not looking carefully — but worth the effort. You will be working with a master craftsman at a fair price.
