It's ONLY been three months (sorry) and I finally have the pictures to show my magical sofa and chair restoration. I found the process easy but more time consuming than I'd expected especially the oil extraction step. I was lucky to have a separate room to lay out the pieces and leave them to dry. Thanks so much. The results exceeded my expectations a thousand fold. I assumed the sofa and chair would look better than before, but I never thought they would look brand new. Thanks again,

Kevin,
Attached is the finished results of the couch project. I don't know if the pictures do the real thing justice, but the final result looks like a new sofa off the showroom floor. Let me tell you though it was a lot of work and elbow grease, but I would do it again in a heartbeat! It exceeded my expectations and I hope the finish will be durable. I am still letting the finish cure before applying the final conditioning coat. I estimate that I probably spent 12 hours total on it over the course of several days. The buttons were a pain in the *ss as was the fine brushwork required to 'fill-in' the color around the decorative tacks.

Kevin,
Here is the old picture of the Forrest Green couch that was in horrible shape, my husband and friends thought there was NO WAY I would be able to fix it, much less the ottoman and chair which were worse!! Well, DIY Solutions and I showed them. Here is a picture of the new living room set. They look Fantastic!! The picture does not do them justice to how beautiful they are. The process took a little longer than I anticipated (one day). It took about 3-4 days because of waiting for the leather to seal. I followed the instructions in the book, and the DVD you sent made the process even easier. I used your brown base coat along with a cocoa brown print coat and used the print coat to my desired color which was chocolate brown. I have enough product left over to do a loveseat if I needed too. I will recommend this product to all my friends and family. Some friends have come over to see the results and almost didn't believe it was the same set. We are so happy with the results! Thank you so much!

Hi Kevin,
I contacted you five years ago when I started the big project of saving my fairly new, but extremely faded leather furniture. I was skeptical of any on-line do-it-yourself furniture restoration product. However, I was even more unwilling to throw away expensive furniture! I bought blinds to shut out the harsh sun and I took the gamble on your product - sending you a scrap of leather to match and receiving in return your bottles of primer, color, print, and finisher along with tools and instructions. My husband thought I was a little crazy to tackle something like that on my own, but tackle it I did. It took me about 3 days to do the chair and ottoman because I wanted to try the smaller pieces first and I went very slowly, stopping to email you with questions or just progress reports every step of the way. You always got right back to me with words of encouragement - "you're on the right track", or "now you're ready for the next step", or "keep me posted". I refinished the couch the following week and was able to move a little more quickly. When the project was done, my family and friends were absolutely amazed! My husband said I had saved us about $5000 (he was ready to toss and replace); my sister said the furniture looked better than when it was new! I sent you before and after pictures and was pretty darn proud of my efforts! Now here it is, five years later. The furniture still looks pretty good, even though it was well used. It had a few scratches acquired from moving it when we installed wood flooring and when we redid our ceilings, plus there were two cushions that looked a little worn. We were sprucing the place up for a big party and I decided to give the furniture another makeover. I had saved the leftover bottles and tools - there was enough of your product to entirely refinish the chair, ottoman and couch. This time it took me only 2 days to complete the whole project and once again my furniture, now 9 years old, looks brand new! I have to say, your product does exactly what it's advertised to do, your instructions are complete and easy to follow, the results look amazing and it's an incredible value. Feel free to publish my testimonial on your website if you'd like!

I've been meaning to email since this summer. Every time I look at my couch, I'm grateful that I found your site. I had so much fun using your DIY kit to change the color of my couch. It turned out great! Your instructions, the video, and all the supplies in the kit made the process really easy to do. In fact, the video is what convinced me that I could do this project. Thank you!!! The kit was well worth everything I paid for it.

We would like to express our appreciation to the personnel at Advanced Leather Solutions, for the guidance and products necessary to restore our furniture. We were very concerned about the deterioration of our very expensive leather couch, love-seat, and chair. I contacted Kevin at Advanced Leather Solutions. He explained in detail what needed to be done to restore our furniture to "like-new" condition. I sent a "swatch" of the leather to them, and with that they were able to send me a "kit" that was prepared especially for my leather. It included everything I needed, including a DVD and booklet that gave exact details for me to complete the job. I was concerned, as I had never undertaken such a task. But after viewing the video and reading the instruction booklet, I went ahead and prepared and dyed the areas needing to be restored. I was truly amazed, as was my wife. The completed job was just "BEAUTIFUL", and it looks as good as it did new eleven (11) years ago. It was a perfect match in color and it is impossible to find the difference between the restored areas and the originals. We would highly recommend Advanced Leather Solutions to anyone that has leather furniture that needs restoration. Their staff is very polite, professional, and are only a phone call away for any assistance needed.

Kevin,
We finished re-coloring our couches today, and I wanted to let you know we are thrilled. Our couches look brand new – better than our expectations. For a days worth of work we saved ourselves a lot of money by not having to replace them. If you want to use us as references, feel free. Thank you so much.

Hello Kevin,
Finally completed the restoration of my "BRAZILIAN CONTEMPO" leather living room set. Even though your system/product was pricier than others we looked at, the results turned out to be much better than we expected. Please note that we are dealing with leather furniture (a sofa and two chairs) purchased in 1975 (more than 32 years ago). Before I applied your product, all three pieces looked worn, scratched and cracked from years of wear and tear. Your product worked so well that all three pieces now look so good that it is difficult to tell they are 32 years old. The color and sheen that you guessed without the benefit of pictures turned out to be a perfect match. The instructions were very easy to follow once I got past the initial part about the options. Applying several coats of the "Base Coat" got rid of the scratches and the cracked look. The end result is that, my wife who previously wanted me to get rid of this leather set because everything looked so worn out jokingly said that it looks so good that I should get in the leather restoration and renewal business. Just wanted you to know that we had great success with your product. Thank you.

Kevin,
Thanks for your product, it was very easy to use and we are very happy with the results. Will be happy to recommend to others. Thanks,

Hello Kevin,
The rub-on solution for my chair and ottoman worked out very well this past weekend. I followed your instructions to the letter and both look really terrific. Thanks for your help.
