This place is fabulous. The grandson now runs the place, and has the skill, knowledge and fairness we expected of our neighbors in the old days -- when we knew the people we did business with. They rejuvenated the cushions - seat back and sides -- of my 1970's Henredon couch (originally my mother's, bought here in Seattle). Knew just what to do, didn't try to scam me or do a halfway job, and was exceptionally reasonably priced. I brought in a plywood base to a family heirloom rocker this morning, asked if I could have it before Thanksgiving and he had it ready 4 hours later. Really a great place! read more

AW Hoss and Son has done our reupholstery projects for over 25 years. Their work is consistently excellent. Most recently, they put new foam in our barstools. I'll be bringing more pieces soon. read more

Very unpleasant experience! I can't comment on the quality of workmanship on our chair. After months of having it, they never even started the work. Our chair was promised due in mid-December. At the end of January, I called to ask the status. I was told that "the boss" was out and would call me back. This went on for weeks. Always a promised phone call that never happened. That's all I wanted: a phone call to give me the status of our chair. The longer I was put off, and the more lame the excuses, the more suspicious I became. Were they going out of business and my chair would be forever lost? Upholstering a chair is a luxury, no one has to have it done. As with other luxuries, it should be pleasant and have fond memories, like eating at a very nice restaurant. My advice is to pay with a credit card (they charge a 3% premium) so that you have the credit card company's support. And take a look at the date of the Yelp reviews, especially the Not Recommended ones. I'll bet my review would have been five stars and I would have been pleased with the work. The pieces in the show room are lovely. If only the boss had called me back, the unpleasantness could have been avoided. read more

My experience was great. updated our round ottoman / coffee table, finished within a few days and looks great. They a huge selection of materials. I worked with Rich, one of the owners and he was friendly and knowledgeable. I will certainly go back for any future Upholstery needs. read more

We had a project we did for a dental office and needed to do it quickly and within a certain budget. One of the owners, Rich, worked with us to get the look we wanted at the right price. In addition, they picked up and delivered and turned the entire project in 10 days, which included a holiday weekend. It was such a good experience, I'm now roaming the house looking for other projects. I hope to do more work with them in the future-the possibilities are endless. Check out the before and afters. read more

Amazing craftsman, super helpful and community minded!!! We love their work. We became fans when we were refinishing and they helped us, making a spot to advise for an hour! Incredible. They rock! read more

We have engaged A.W. Hoss & Son on multiple furniture projects and they do a terrific job. If you can imagine it, they can create it. They are also furniture repair experts; I cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

We had 4 outdoor Tropitone cushions replaced for about $300 each. Not cheap but better than some competitors who asked for $600. The final product with Sunbrella fabric looks great. read more

This place is ridiculous. I dropped off a chair, one of 15 I own, to have it reupholstered, with the intention of having them do all of the chairs. It's been two months, I have called about six times and have gotten nowhere. Some random that works there answers the phone but refuses to help, saying the boss will call you back. I gave up, they can have the chair, but DO NOT TRUST THIS BUSINESS WITH YOU FURNITURE. Zero customer service, and I now have 14 chairs. Serious waste of time. read more

I had a bad experience and probably wouldn't have been prompted to write this review had they not ignored me after they did some poor work that needed to be fixed -- and never did it. Here is what happened: Needed 4 kitchen stools re-upholstered and was given a quote that seemed high. I went to another company and got the same leather hide I was quoted for 1/3 the cost, so brought the leather in myself so AW Hoss could just do the re-upholstery work. They had already told me $X price just for labor per stool, so I was fine with that. Went to pick up the completed stools, and after inspecting I found there were 2 different stools that had fairly significant flaws in the leather. Note, there was an entire hide to work with, so the upholsterer had plenty of room to choose from better leather. To their credit, they re-did those 2 stools with the remaining leather hide. That was the right thing to do, and all is well, right? No. Within a couple days the threading on the upholstery started to unravel on 2 of the stools -- and certainly would happen on the other 2 with time. So I contacted the company. They said they would fix it and are looking into leather availability, etc. I gave them some time and followed up again. They were responsive at first, but then went radio silent. I reached out multiple times and was told over the phone by someone taking a message I would get called the next day, etc. etc. Never heard back. I even emailed to mention that I can't help but think I'm being ignored.... nothing back. Very very disappointing. The company completely ignored me when they knew their work was unsatisfactory, and didn't own up to it. That's the most disappointing part. That's why I wrote this review. If you are considering this company, at least consider this review. Caveat Emptor. read more

Update: Apparently summer vacation, missed communication and some potential management changes was the culprit for the poor response time. After meeting with staff, we arranged to have the work done. It was done very well, the wood was cleaned and freshened up, the cushions restuffed and fabric replaced as promised. The delivery time was a little over 2-weeks - very acceptable. Was referred by neighbor for reupholstering a few chairs. Called a few times and staff was confused and not responsive. Google said Saturday hours till 2pm, sign on door said 1pm, arrived at 12:50 and no answer. After taking chairs to store and pick out fabric, spent half an hour looking through books to find "several checked out". Left our number and told they would call next day, a week later they aren't returning our call. Perhaps if you are decorator may get better service, heading to greenwood and try Gabels. read more

Did what no one else was able to do. They got my cushion covers done in two days and did an excellent job. They fit perfectly and did them based on my measurements without seeing the couch. The pattern on each cushion is an exact match! I will definitely recommend them to all my friends. read more

I cannot say enough good things about these guys! I took in an old bench that I was learning to play the piano on and needed it to be re-upholstered asap. Rich took me back into the shop and found the EXACT material/color I had conjured up in my mind.. literally within minutes! He then told me it would take close to a week to be completed. No joke, the NEXT day I received a text saying my job was completed!! He said I was so excited when I came in and he wanted to make sure I could still practice the piano without much delay that he got it done straight away. I grew up in the area and have been to AW a few times, always a pleasure and satisfying experience. Thank you guys & happy new year! read more

I recently took a bunch of my mid-century furniture projects here to get reupholstered. I had several things that were in various phases of disassembled (because I'm much better at taking things apart than putting them back together) but Rich didn't even flinch when I walked in with all my pieces. He was super easy to work with, priced a quote out for me right there while I waited and finished the job on time for a really fair price. I needed a pretty quick turn around time for a family gathering I was planning and he even kept me updated throughout the process. My furniture looks amazing! This is a family business and it shows. Great customer service! I'll be using these guys again any time I need work done. I just hope they don't get too popular!! Thanks Rich and your whole team read more

Clearly a family built and run business. They know their trade and were very helpful when my daughter and I were choosing our fabrics. Turnaround time was excellent and I thought the price was very fair. Highly recommended! read more

Thought these guys were great until I picked up my chairs and got them home. We had requested an overnight service to replace the fabric on outdoor dining set. When back home, realized one chair was inside out. Called them to request same day fix, since the party we were rushing them for was that night (Friday). They said they couldn't get to it until Monday. Wow. Full price for 75% done. Oh, yes, I specifically explained this in advance, but the guy was too busy telling me how experienced he was. Was hoping they feel badly enough to discount the job as for our inconvenience, but nothing. Next time, new place. read more

Had a great experience with this company! They added better cushioning to my flimsy 3 couch cushions and fixed and refastened all the buttons. And they did it all in a day! Really pleased. Nice people, too! I'll use them again for sure! read more

Just dropped off six couch cushions to be recovered. Great experience. Shop is obviously very busy but the owner took time to listen to what I wanted and figured out what would work, understood that it wasn't a fancy formal thing but the couch that we have in our kitchen. So, blackberry pie, red wine, cat hair and lots and lots of people hanging out while we cook- we have a living room but I sometimes wonder why.. And the cushions needed to match the other parts of the couch. Bingo, he found the perfect thing: tough yet comfortable and at a great price. Loved it. And, if you do have that amazing thing that needs a fancy do-over the examples they have waiting for owner pick up are heart-stopping drop dead fabulous. And they have an amazing amount of fabric samples. And they repair broken furniture and they have ends of rolls of fabrics marked down- lots and lots of it. Give them a try. Parking is in the back read more

I was in their showroom for about an hour and a half looking through tons of samples, which I liked, but was totally ignored. It seems that the phone calls from mom, friends, and everyone else were more important than helping a potential client. After I was finally noticed,and apologized to, I checked out the samples I needed. The really aggravating event happened on my return...Of course, the fabric I chose was discontinued. Another family member came out of the office,began to help me try to find something similar, but was distracted again by another bunch of personal phone calls. She didn't even bother to excuse herself. Unbelievable...good thing everyone there is related..Conduct like this would get them fired anywhere else. read more

Hoss and Son is as good as it gets! I've givin these guys some pretty challenging projects and they always rise to the occasion. The last project they did for me was building and upholstering all my booth seating at my new restaurant Citrus on South Lake Union. The quality was awesome and the crew is always smiling. It was a pleasure working with them and they will definatley be doing all my future restaurants. Feel free to stop by Citrus and take a look at the quality fellow yelpers! read more

They did a great job with my old chair. It's pricey but worth it.

Have used Hoss and Son for recovering two small to medium size pillows. Was very pleased with the work. Experience some miscommunication but the owner took the time to remedy the situation. Would recommend to my friends and family. read more

I'm new too Seattle, needed an upholsterer to professionally replace a cheap cushion done elsewhere. I didn't give these guys much notice as I was leaving for a vacation but they expertly and professionally took care of my request, would definitely use them again. RAR UDistrict read more

This is the very best place to have furniture upholstered in Seattle. The workmanship, customer service and prices are excellent. I am so pleased with the work they have done for me. Mr. Al Hoss is a treasure and a tremendous resource. This company is better than excellent - and that's the truth! Also, the fabric selection is amazing. There is something for every budget here. read more

Some of the stitching was coming out of one of my couch cushions revealing some tasty fluff stuffing that my dog couldn't resist. I took it by AW Hoss and they had me fixed up by the next day for a totally reasonable price. They were even willing to do it while I waited but I chose to pick it up the following day. I've got a bunch of kitchen chairs that need re-covering and they were super helpful discussing approximate costs and coverings. So when I'm ready to do those, these guys will get my business. read more

This business took my $1800 deposit for a custom-made leather chair and ottoman 2 years ago and NEVER completed it. They took my money and made promise after promise but never came through. At first they put me off, giving excuses for the delay; after over a year, I had had enough and requested a refund. Twice I was promised that a refund check would be in the mail the next day, but it never happened. I wrote to the Attorney General's Office and also received a judgement against them from Small Claims Court, and still nothing! They didn't even show up in court. They have had many, many opportunities and notices to make this right, and are ignoring me as well as the court order. Please beware of this business and their horrible business practices. They stole my money. read more

Eight months ago I gave Larry Hoss of Hoss & Sons my french antique caned chair to have it re-caned. I have called, texted, phoned both Larry's cell and the shop no less than ten times over the last six months, and I have gotten no response. I spoke at length to Alan Hoss, who I believe owns the business, and he had no explanation, no apology, and even bettert he was cranky and peevish in his response. He assured me three months ago that Larry would call me, and yet no contact. My next step will be to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, and if that fails to get a response, I will be forced to file a lawsuit to be reimbursed for the cost of replacing the chair. This has been a hangnail in my life for the past six months. I would give negative stars if I could because they have earned it. DO NOT under any circumstances trust these people with your furniture. UPDATE: By some miracle (or was it because I Yelped?), Larry had his brother drop the chair at my house this afternoon. He apologized via text but offered no explanation for his extreme ineptitude. I stand by my advice to STEER CLEAR!!! read more

They completed two projects for us: a simple rectangular window seat cushion covered in microfiber fabric (great for a house with a cat), and an angled window seat cushion with back pillows that had velco straps attached for a pre-existing back rest. Both projects were superbly done and continue to be daily mainstays of our home. read more

We are currently having Hoss and Sons do our 4th project with higher end Danish Modern furniture. These guys are the BEST! They are very straight forward, quick turn around and come in at or under the estimate given. Would highly recommend to friends and family! read more

Rich and his crew are easy to work with, do great work, communicate thoroughly about cost, ask questions about how you want your project done, and execute it in a timely manner. They aren't the cheapest, but quality work never is. I'm enormously pleased and am using them on a large redecorating project on my home. They are also very cognizant of deadlines! read more

I brought a reclining love seat to get some foam added. It was a yard sale purchase so I didn't want to spend a ton of money on it. Not only did they complete the repair that day, they delivered it too! Very reasonable and great people to work with! I would definitely recommend them without reservation. read more

Rich helped us with our DIY project of six dining room chairs.. He took time to help with materials needed and the cutting of foam. He offered info. on staplers as well. I enjoyed the experience. Thanks. read more

I started calling on Aug 29th to get a quote. The first person I talked to was very helpful and had me text photos of what I needed done. He said he'd get back to me later that day. Never heard from him. In all I've left 7 messages waiting to get this "quote" that never came. Last time I called I spoke to a different man who rudely said, "I gave him ALL of your messages, he'll get back to you when he can!!" That was last week so 3 weeks or so after my first call. Not good customer service. Now off to find a new place to go! read more
