Coral C.

This review is long overdue. I had Aby reupholster my grandmother's wingback chair (sorry I don't have before pics), which needed a major overhaul with spring work, all new foam, refurbishing of the wood, etc. Aby and her staff were great. They took ample time to help me decide on the right fabric for me, and they did a beautiful job withe the chair. The service was professional, as requested, and a very reasonable turnaround time (just a few weeks). I'm so happy with my chair and highly recommend Aby's Upholstery!

Accent pillows all made by Aby's team

10 stars for Aby, Fernando and team! They did a superb job reupholstering 2 accent chairs and making my sofa accent pillows. Aby is extremely responsive on email and made sure EVERY DETAIL was attended to. She let me bring the fabrics I wanted and get my own pillow fills. She was flexible and very good priced for what they did. Icing on the cake was that my chairs and pillows were all completed so quickly despite holiday season. Don't look further for an upholstery shop! I'm certain you won't find better!

Aby's Upholstery is truly amazing. I needed a window seat cushion and they did an amazing job. Aby is a great person to work with. I felt like I was working with a good friend. I drove from Half Moon Bay to San Jose, and I highly recommend them for any upholstery job you have. You won't be sorry.

Loveseat

This is long overdue. Aby's did a really nice job with my loveseat. Very professionally done and was a pleasure to work with. They do get quite busy and there may be a queue to get work done. So expect that

I love my sturdy old sofa and didn't want a new one. I had been looking for someone to help me with me with that, and Aby came through for me! My tired old cushions were restuffed at a very reasonable price and they're like new again! I'm very happy with her work and the turn around time was very quick. I highly recommend! (Plus she's a sweetheart.)

Before. Black leather was no longer my thing. It had to go.

See all

I called San Jose Custom Upholstery to get a quote. Pierre picked up my call immediately and gave me a quote as soon as he received my photos. I went their shop the next day. Pierre and his brother were there to answer my questions. His brother gave me advice on colors and types of fabric. He even gave me samples so I could see them in the lighting of my new home before making my decision. When Pierre delivered my couch and my chair. They were elegantly modernized and beautifully upholstered. Thank you Pierre and especially to your brother. I wish I remember his name.

Piere helped us pick out a beautiful fabric, rightly recommended to have the inner foam wrapped in plastic and added a zipper behind each so they could be easily cleaned in case of an "oops". All of this was rather a last minute thought before my wife's big milestone birthday party. Piere and his team delivered so quickly - half of the time promised and the results are absolutely gorgeous. The stitching and attention to detail was excellent. While it was not inexpensive we feel it was worth every penny. Hopefully the results will show up well in the photos attached.

Absolutely blown away by the quality of work from Upholstery Specialists. I had a very sentimental…read morepiece of furniture - a sectional that was my first "adult" furniture that my dad and step mom had bought for me. It has been the best sofa ever - absolutely perfect size and has fit in two different homes. Well, it started to lose its comfort and was broken, fabric was worn down, when you sat down you could feel the springs/edges of the frame - but it was like my wubby, I could not stand the thought of scrapping it. I started researching all the options. Reality - there is no sofa on the market with same exact dimensions. So next up, reupholstery it was! I had first reached out to Paul maybe 6 months ago wanting to understand pricing! He asked for some pics, my measurements and offered rough estimate. Amazing, he did that within a day or two of me reaching out. Then I went radio silent - we had another home project that took all the time/funds. Fast forward to April - I reached out one more time and Paul picked up right where we left off. Said come on down to the shop where they have thousands of samples! You get to touch/feel/bring samples home, but my son zeroed in on our winning fabric pretty quickly! And its actually a more durable fabric than we had before. Fast forward to the process itself - Paul comes over to do his own measurements and see the space. This is when I was provided the real real quote as he had the exact measurements. Let's be honest, I missed a thing or two. Paul then came on a Thursday to pick it up, 2 Thursdays later it was back, better than ever! The cushions are now full and oh so comfortable. The base of the sofa has been repaired, reinforced and is ready for another 10 years of wear and tear! I am so beyond grateful for this journey with Paul and his team. I might have spent a bit more money, but not much when you think about other costs - getting rid of a couch, shipping, white glove delivery. So it probably works out to about the same, but there really is no price on a sentimental piece that has so many memories and now has new ones as my son got to be a part of the process! HIGHLY recommend Upholstery Specialists!

He told me how long it would take, so I wasn't without my couch for too long. The price was what I expected to pay and a great value. But the best part was the quality of the work. It is top notched! It feels great when I sit on it. I absolutely recommend this business.

Meyer came to our home to look at a 25-year-old quartersawn oak sideboard whose drawers had swollen…read moreover the years making them difficult to pull in and out. Meyer inspected the sideboard, tried to get the drawers out but gave up after several minutes of pulling on the drawers. He said he needed to move the sideboard to his shop (with our help!) and that there was a good chance he'd have to first break the drawers removing them prior to repairing. He said he wouldn't give us a quote unless we gave him $180 for the time he spent inspecting the sideboard (which we are sorry we did); even so, we never did get a quote for the repair. We did get a dirty 2 inch block of beeswax for the money, though, that he told us to rub on the drawers and to get back to him. While Meyer was here, he was often rude and condescending when speaking of his experience and knowledge of working with wood furniture. We found another furniture restorer who came to our house and repaired our sideboard in place after about 4 hours of planing and sanding. He was absolutely awesome. We hate to write a negative review, but this person richly deserves it and we felt we should warn others who may be victimized.

I sent photos of the damaged area and asked for an approximate price. I completely understand that…read morethe final price can only be determined after an in-person inspection, but I just wanted a general price range to know what to expect, since I have no idea how much this type of repair normally costs. Instead of giving me even a rough estimate, they kept sending me appointment times. I explained that I'm in another city and didn't want to drive two hours without knowing whether the repair might cost $300, $500, $800, or $1,000. After I explained this, they again simply sent me available appointment times, almost like a scripted response. Unfortunately, the communication was not helpful, so I decided to look for another company.

The repairman was able to come out, he spread blankets out to cover my floor and ensure the dust wouldn't get all over the place. He estimated repairs would take about two hours, but it was done in one. He even reinforced the leg to make sure it wouldn't collapse like it had before. (It had very ambitiously been stapled into place and it's a miracle it lasted as long as it did.) He was even able to put a new dust cover into place since the previous one had gotten shredded by the leg and then my cat. There was no mess left when he was done, and he walked me through every step as he was working. 10/10, definitely recommend. I also booked an heirloom coffee table to be picked up and refinished. I cannot wait to see it come back to life like my armchair did.
