The following are excerpts from what several publications are saying about us.
Sunset Magazine, Jan 2000
Written by: Daniel Gregory
"The showpiece of Becom and Aberg's kitchen is their 1940s Chambers stove. Old ranges are increasingly popular with homeowners who want a vintage look, according to Winsor Williams, owner of Antique Stove Heaven in Los Angeles... the company that restored Becom and Aberg's model. The vividly colored porcelainized metal (from mint green to cobalt) and bright chromework used by such manufacturers as Chambers, O'Keefe & Merritt, Magic Chef, Wedge-wood, and Roper make these stoves resemble the automobiles of their era."

"As the popularity of these vintage stoves increases, so too does the need for their restoration and repair. Artisans like Winsor Williams of Antique Stove Heaven in Los Angeles are kept busy supplying the market with clean and well-operating appliances. In addition to making house-call repairs anad doing custom colored enamel work, Williams constantly scours Southern California for stoves he can refurbish for working stoves he can refurbish for sale in his shop. If they're unsalvageable, he strips them for working parts to be used on compatible models."

"Genuine old gas stoves are available from a number of sources, such as Antique Stove Heaven in Los Angeles. The store, which ships, usually has a stock of '30s Magic Chefs, among others, on hand. All stoves are refurbished and retrofitted so you don't need to light a match every time you turn it on. Though most old stoves are white, some occasionally turn up in cream, green, or cobalt blue."

"Fortunately, the search for those once everyday-objects of small-town American life — the tools, hardware, housewares, gardening equipment and small non-electrical appliances such as the toasters and popcorn poppers of yesterday — are offered for sale, once again, revised and newly manufactured by a handful of specialty stores and mail-order catalogs who seek to satisfy our longings for nostalgia. There’s even a store in Los Angeles, Antique Stove Heaven, that caters to those searching out vintage O’Keefe and Merritt and other fabulous looking old stoves."
Los Angeles Magazine, July 1999
"Sure, they're hot right now, but trailblazing companies like O'Keefe & Merritt and Wedgewood were cooking up gas and electric stoves in hip hues like red and powder blue before your parents' first prom kiss. A hundred-plus of these pre-'50s beauties, ranging in price from $399 to $15,000, heat up the showroom at Antique Stove Heaven, which restores, rechromes and reporcelains yesterday's hot mamas and can even alter their color in case your burning desires run to pink, black or cobalt."
News Times - Los Angeles, October 28, 1999

"After a serious search, I'd found the unbelievable bargain curtain cleaners of Los Angeles, near Western and 51st, and there was a little dividend: We could also check out the beautiful old stoves at Antique Stove Heaven, a couple of blocks further south... We picked up the curtains, admired a 1942 six-burner double-oven O'Keefe and Merritt that had been enameled bright red, and, 50 blocks later, were drinking Constant Comment at home, planning the week's festivities."
