Hi--not sure if this forum can help me. We purchased a floor model dining room set. We moved into our new home last Wed. and the dinning room set was delivered on Thursday. When it was delivered, we discovered that it is appx. 1 inch too tall. the ceiling of the dinning room has large mouldings--about 3 inches thick. Seven of these cover the entire length of the room. The china cabinet piece is actually two; the top china cabinet and the bottom with storage and drawers. The base has legs that are about 4 inches wide and about 5 inches tall.
Is it possible to have someone take about 2 inches off the bottom? I looked in the phone book--who would I call. There was an ad for a furniture doctor--but he seems to fix broken pieces.
I am open for any suggestions--the set can not be returned--since it is a floor model.

While I make mechanical repairs and even reconstruct missing parts in my furniture refinishing business, many refinishers do not.
I would suggest you contact a cabinet maker, who would have both the skill and tools necessary for the work you need done.
From my general knowledge of cabinetry I would venture to say what you want can be done - it's just a matter of finding someone with the expertise and willingness to do it.
