She didn't rush me or get frustrated when I asked for something 10 different ways. It was refreshing to feel like someone still really loved their work and loved helping people.

They allow you to explore alternatives that you never even contemplated or imagine could be possible. It was really enjoyable sharing picture framing moments. My particular project involved framing uncut original playing cards that took two years in the creation and production to reach finality. The framing showcased both the front and back of the uncut sheet. The end result was nothing less than magnificent. Thank you Carla and Vonna for creating a treasured masterpiece for a lifetime.

We are big fans of Arts & Crafts furniture, so imagine our delight when we recently chanced upon a…read moregreat find at a local thrift store: four Arts & Crafts dining room chairs that were almost a perfect match for the four we already had -- at price of about $50 for all four. A great deal, except that the cushions were uncomfortable and the coverings were a cheap-looking red fabric that we really hated. We had refurbished our original Arts & Crafts chairs ourselves some years ago, refinishing the wood and replacing and reupholstering the cushions. We did a pretty good job, too. But that was then. Since that time, the wonderful Foam store in downtown Palo Alto has closed and we had no idea how we'd find the right foam for the cushions without seeing it and feeling it for ourselves. We are also 25 years older than when we did the first four, and much less patient. My husband started with one chair with foam purchased at Michael's but it was all wrong. The foam was too swishy and the newer chairs were a little trickier to recover. We looked into hiring a pro to redo the chair cushions and found Dan's. They were amazing. Beyond amazing. They whole job was done in two days. We took the cushions and the fabric into the shop on Tuesday. By Thursday, all eight chairs (the four new and the four old) were done and looking great. Not only was Dan's super-fast, but they came out and installed the new cushions to make sure they all fit. I bet you think that sounds expensive, but the price was great, especially for the speedy service and home delivery. We had envisioned a long and difficult project of re-doing the chairs ourselves, but instead we are now done with new chair cushions ready for guests we're expecting next week. We are delighted with Dan's Upholstery, and would highly recommend their services.

I had a lousy experience with Dyan, a designer/salesperson at Dan's. After making an appointment to…read morelook at fabric samples in their showroom, we were disappointed because we didn't find any appropriate fabrics (end use: upholstery) in the colors of my daughter's room. The man who was on site that day was nice but not helpful. In emailing Dyan later, I wrote that perhaps we should have come when she was there, because she might know the memo books better, and could point us in the right direction to find an upholstery fabric in a lavender or lilac color. Her response was that "Lavender and lilac are not popular in today's fabric industry, but we do have a selection of white upholstery fabrics." First of all, she's wrong. Mills and fabric houses offer plenty of options in lavender, lilac, and other shades of light purple. Just look at Kravet's, Robert Allen's, or any other to-the-trade website. I worked in that industry for 20 years. Second, that wasn't what I asked. I asked for her help, and I was told the color I was seeking wasn't popular and I could try a white fabric. (Of course you have white fabric!) This was not helpful, and to be told that what I was looking for is not popular is borderline rude. Her response put me off so much that I've delayed the project for a year. I'm now beginning the process with another upholstery shop and am reminded of my negative experience with Dyan at Dan's. Maybe if you get a better salesperson, you'll have a better experience. But I'll never recommend Dan's.
