Ich habe die etwas in die Jahre gekommene alte Kommode von meiner Oma restaurieren lassen. Jetzt erleuchtet sie wieder im neuen Glanz. Super Ergebnis. Sehr professionelle und freundliche Beratung. Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Den Restaurator kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.

Mein alter Jugendstil Schreibtisch ist leider kaputt gegangen und musste repariert werden. In dem Zusammenhang wurden gleich noch ein paar Macken wieder ausgebessert. Ich bin super zufrieden mit ZRW Berlin. Die Kommunikation verlief einwandfrei und ohne langes Warten, das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt. Sehr freundlicher Umgang und äußerst kompetente Arbeiten. Ich kann die Firma guten Gewissens empfehlen!
