Marty Bell, from New York, NY
"Esther, We had the table assembled today and it's fabulous, even better that we ever hoped it would be -- we couldn't be more pleased!!!!
As you can now see, it's for a banquette in our kitchen. And as you may also be able to tell, it's a pretty high end kitchen, with Wolf stove, Subzero refrigerator, and marble backsplash -- while not your typical diner motif, the table fits in perfectly! - I hope you can see just how well the laminate on the top and sides of the table goes with the marble backsplash all around the kitchen. And the black feet blend perfectly with the black baseboard, while the chrome pedestal perfectly matches all of the chrome pulls on the cabinets!
We were originally considering a Caesar Stone table top to match the tops of the kitchen counters. But not only would that have cost almost ten times what the New Retro table cost, but because of the weight of Caesar stone, it would have required two pedestals which would have made seating in our small banquette very difficult, and would also have made moving the table very difficult which would have been a problem if we wanted to get to the drawers below the banquette seat.
The table is perfect. Thank you. And thanks again also for all of your help and guidance as we went through so many iterations before arriving at this particular size table and this pedestal and this laminate!!! You guys are the best, a real pleasure to deal with! "

Rebecca Boucher, from Denver, CO
"I purchased the yellow cracked ice booth in 2008. The customer service was exceptional! My husband and I (and guests) have spent many hours enjoying our booth and the ambiance it adds to our home. We get many comments on how fun and relaxed our loft is and everyone wants to sit in the booth and play the jukebox. Our loft is now on the market and we will consider selling all furnishings and accessories separately. I have no doubt we will be purchasing another booth for our new home. If there is any interest in the loft my email is rebboucher@yahoo.com and I am located in Denver, CO."

"Hello to you both, Earlier this year I purchased a booth and four custom bar stools for a new office / man cave I was building. You asked me to send some pics when it was all done, so here’s a link where you can view a video tour and pics of the finished product. As you can see it turned out great and the booth and bar stools are a big hit with everyone.
Thanks again for all your help! Frank"

Tim Onderdonk from Regent Associates, Inc. Westborough, MA, designer of Jimbo's Diner at the Bernardi Honda facility in Brockton, MA
"Regent Associates, Inc. designs many car dealerships and we were asked to design a retro 1950s style diner to be located in the main showroom of the brand new Bernardi Honda facility in Brockton, MA. After an extensive search for the appropriate furnishings, New Retro Dining proved to have just what our client had in mind. Jimbo’s Diner was a huge hit at the grand opening party and the retro booths, stools, counters and lighting fixtures make the diner really stand out. It was a fun project to be a part of and it was great working with New Retro Dining. "

Eleanor Ragusa, Suffern, NY
"Dear Liz and Elayne, I am very pleased to send this testimonial. I couldn't have had a more positive or more pleasant experience working with any other company anywhere. You both have been so wonderfully patient and instrumental walking me through every aspect of the ordering process from quickly mailing me samples to addressing any questions or concerns I had. On delivery, when I opened the boxes with my new table and chairs, I was elated! They exceeded my expectations. The quality and workmanship is unsurpassed, and "made in the U.S.A." is a definite plus. Being able to order the size I needed to fit in my small kitchen was key. Everything fits perfectly and I couldn't be happier. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you've done. I am an extremely satisfied customer! Sincerely, Eleanor Ragusa "

"We love the quality of the furniture and the fact that it is U.S. made. The customer service and quality of the product far exceeded our expectations. The wide range of colors to chose from made this so fun. We know it is unique to our home. I love the fact that we can call/email and a representative replies the same day...sometimes, within minutes! We love everything about it EXCEPT that it isn’t bigger! :) And that is another great thing about your company, I can call and order a replacement table top at any time to fit our household needs. Thanks again!"

"I recently purchased a custom table and chairs for the convenience store at our senior retirement community. Everything is beautiful, and of great quality. The chairs are comfortable for everyone, which is important for our seniors. The table is accessible to all because it is wheelchair height. I couldn’t be happier with the way everything turned out, and your customer service and attention are remarkable. Everything came ahead of promise and in perfect condition, which was a thrill. I’m sending a photo which was taken before we merchandised, but you can imagine how great the furniture looks now that the store is in business. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart."

Theresa Armstrong, Rensseler, NY
"Thanks Elayne! It was a huge job, and seven months of craziness, but we’re very happy. Jim and I can’t say enough good things about the builder and his crew, they were phenomenal. And, they all went nuts when they saw the kitchen furniture! I don’t who was more excited about seeing it all put together, us or the guys on the construction crew. It was quite the experience. I thought you might appreciate seeing how great the booth furniture and color combo look in our new kitchen. The builder that did our home remodel was so impressed he chose our new kitchen and bath for a photo spread featured in an industry publication to accompany an article about him and his business. I’ve included the article as it appeared in the magazine for you to see how great it looks."

Hayley Neal, N. Bethesda, Maryland
"Kelly, I just wanted to give you some feedback by way of a big 'thank you' for the whole experience which has been my purchase of the dinette table. Everyone I dealt with from the point of ordering through you, then both the freight company over the phone and delivery staff in person were of genuine help and I think it's very important that this be recognized when it's definitely not always the case generally. While I'm yet to actually assemble my table this coming weekend, I can tell you that it's exactly what I had hoped for, and I appreciate that it was obviously worked on and packed with care. Once again, I thank you and your business partners very much for the good vibes I'll always be able to enjoy when I take a seat at my table. Cheers! Hayley "
Dayle Dolginer, Los Angeles, California
"I am a new recipient of a fabulous breakfast room table and chairs! When ordering over the internet one never really knows what quality merchandise you'll be getting or whether the actual item will resemble the photo on the web. I am overjoyed with my new table and chairs and tell you that the product was so accurately represented on the web and the people I dealt with over the phone were so professional, kind, cooperative, helpful and so accommodating with samples and decisions that I compliment them to the fullest! I recommend this company highly and without hesitation!!"
Rose Hitz, Lincoln, Nebraska
"I will sing a different song this morning. I must admit I was a bit nervous yesterday when shipment seemed to be so delayed and no communication. Haven't had any trouble with my yahoo account but who knows. Doing business on line is totally new to me and I must say I've heard a few horror stories so this added to my anticipation. The set arrived yesterday afternoon and by evening it was all set up gracing my kitchen. It is beautiful and everything I wanted in my small kitchen. Quality is excellent, color good so it fits in very striking. THANK YOU! Warm wishes to your company in 2007.
(One happy customer in Lincoln, Nebraska)."
Gary Head, Soddy Daisy, Tennessee
"As you can see from the photos I have recently remodeled my kitchen 50's style, complete with the stove that my grandfather bought in 1954! I was very happy to have found your web site and exactly the dining set I was looking for. I've had it now about a week and love it! It is extremely well made and the chairs are very comfortable. It is certainly high quality, actually to be honest, it is far better than I expected!! Everyone that sees it just can't say enough about the dining set. Thank you again for excellent service, product and making my kitchen and dining area a true step back in time!!"

"I am sorry this is coming so late, but it has been a slow, but fun process to get everything installed and set up. The pictures were taken last week and already things have changed quite a bit. The brown cabinet which contained the soda fountain glasses is now gone because I got 2 retro looking cabinets to hold them. Then cabinets are 30” high located against the wall to the left of the soda fountain. I needed to wait to take the pictures at least until the foot rest was completed by a friend of mine. To match the floor he covered it with extra floor tiles that I had. I just finished painting the back and 2 sides of the fountain Aluminum, so now they blend in very well with the rest of the send them to you when it was finished because who knows when that will be… I want to thank you for all of your help. You were such a huge help and it turned out fantastic. Also, please thank the rest of the staff that helped me. Everyone has been so helpful to me. I am writing a letter to American Soda Fountain to let them know about how fantastic you have been, so hopefully, you will get more business. Thank you so much for everything."

We love the Retro/Happy Days theme, so we went looking for tables and chairs that would accommodate us and make it a pleasant place to enjoy our lunch time and party times. We were so glad when we saw the web page for New Retro Dining and all that it offered for us. We did not hesitate to call and place our order. We had wonderful service and a great experience speaking with those who helped walk us through the ordering.
