About Frankenstein Furniture

Frankenstein Furniture operates out of Indianapolis, Indiana, bringing a 4.8-star rating across 12 reviews to the local furniture repair and refinishing scene. Indianapolis has no shortage of older homes with heirloom pieces that need real attention, and this shop fills that gap. They focus on furniture repair and refinishing services, which means they handle the structural and cosmetic side of restoring pieces rather than just slapping on new fabric. If you've got a beat-up dresser or a chair frame that's seen better days, this is the kind of shop worth calling.

Services

Furniture Repair
Refinishing Services

Services & Process

Furniture repair at this shop covers the mechanical and structural issues that make a piece unusable: broken joints, wobbly legs, cracked frames, and hardware replacement. Refinishing work goes beyond a simple coat of stain. It typically involves stripping the old finish down to bare wood, sanding, staining or painting to the customer's spec, and applying a protective topcoat. Together, these two services can take a piece that looks like it belongs at a garage sale and turn it into something you'd actually show off in your living room.

Service Area

Frankenstein Furniture serves customers throughout Indianapolis and the surrounding Marion County area. Clients from nearby communities like Beech Grove, Lawrence, and Speedway regularly bring pieces in. The central Indianapolis location makes it accessible from most parts of the metro.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you match an existing stain color on my furniture?
Yes, color matching is a standard part of refinishing work. Bring in a photo or a small sample piece, and the shop can mix or select a stain that closely replicates your existing finish.
Is it worth repairing an antique chair versus buying a new one?
For solid wood antiques, repair almost always makes financial and sentimental sense. A well-made older piece is typically built better than most new furniture at the same price point.
How long does a typical furniture refinishing job take?
Most refinishing jobs take one to two weeks, depending on the complexity and the shop's current workload. Pieces that need significant stripping, filling, or multi-coat finishes can take longer.
Do you work on painted furniture as well as stained wood?
Yes, painted finishes are part of the refinishing process too. The shop can strip old paint, prep the surface, and apply a new painted finish in your chosen color.
Can you repair furniture that has water damage or warping?
Water damage and minor warping can often be addressed through repair and refinishing. Severe structural warping may limit what's possible, so it's best to get an assessment first.
Do I need to strip all the old finish before refinishing?
Not always. If the existing finish is in decent condition and you're not changing the color dramatically, a light scuff and recoat can work. Your technician will recommend the right approach after seeing the piece.
