Testimonials


Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did reupholstering our furniture. The workmanship is exquisite, and of course, the fabrics are perfect. We are so pleased. I especially want to thank both of you for your patience and support as Ron and I went through the process of considering and deciding against various fabrics. I always felt welcome, no matter how busy you were or how many other customers were waiting to talk to you. I appreciated your willingness to let us bring home fabric books and to mail order samples for us. It really helped to be able to live with the fabrics for awhile. I especially appreciated your ideas and your judgement about what would look good, what would last, and so on. Also, it was great fun to see all the other furniture being upholstered. It gave us more ideas about what would look good on our own furniture. Please feel free to share this letter with other customers. You’re the best, and we will definitely recommend you to our friends. Thanks again for a great reupholstering experience!

I want to express how impressed and grateful I am for the service you provided me last week. You not only obliged me by rushing my upholstery work, after numerous games of phone tag, you went above and beyond all expectations to deliver it to me in time for my party. The workmanship is excellent, enhancing the quality and appearance of my chair and ottoman, and I feel the price is very reasonable. I am still enjoying the dining room chairs that you reupholstered approximately five years ago and I am sure that, five years form now, I will still be enjoying your work. I would highly recommend you to anyone that is looking for the kind of quality workmanship and service that you provide.
