07/22/26 is the Day my Life changed for the Worst. I got referred to John's Upholstery from a Shop…read morein Plymouth that usually does our Woodwork. Met Mel, who started out as a Great Conversation, he assured me everything would be done in two weeks tops. As a Moving Company General Manager I make promises to our Customers based on what I am told. So I told the Customer exactly what Mel told me. Two Weeks your 4 Dining Room Chairs and 2 Bench Seats will be done. After the 1st Week I called to check progress, notice upon calling multiple times no one answers the phone. So I set aside time to personally go in to check progress. First thing I notice Mel isn't there and the Bench & Chairs aren't Upholstered or even touched. I leave, come back a couple days later, mind you we're onto the 2nd week now. Nothings been touched, I speak with Mel who originally quoted me $1200 to $1500 to which I told our Customer. Upon asking Mel what's the holdup, what's going on, he replied the place he gets Vinyl from is running behind in changed there prices. $1200 to $1500 turns to $2600. Know am extremely Upset. 1st you lie about the Cost, 2 weeks in you change the Rates. So I tell him to staple the chairs back up so I can take them somewhere else, he says he can't do it today, I can pick them up tomorrow. I leave extremely pissed. He calls me while am driving to tell me he made a Mistake it's only $1600 now. I call the Customer she ask me when will the chairs actually be ready. I click over, ask Mel. He says next Friday, it's Wednesday. Today's Date as of this Review is 08/25/26. The Chairs still isn't done, in Mel is now saying the Vinyl hasn't come in yet. In the Chairs & Benches will be ready Next Week. Notice the pattern? Got the Customers Deposit already. My Warning to anyone dealing with this Upholstery Shop. Read ALL the Reviews. This isn't the 1st time this has happened. It's a Review on here, if I've read it, I promise I would've never subjected our Customer to this Nonsense. I'm taking time out of my Extremely Busy Day to warn people. This Shop is the Worst of America in a Disgrace to the City of Livonia, where our Company also is located. As of 09/10/26 I physically go in John's Upholstery in pickup the 4 Chairs & 2 Bench Seats. Had to ask a guy who works there can he staple the chairs closed, because Fabric & Thread is hanging out. On Top of that, I find out Mel is the Owner SMH. He stopped answering my Calls & still has the Customer $300 Dollar Deposit. You can't make this stuff up. The insane part is his 2 Employees tell everyone he's terrible, yet still work for him SMH. Please read Yelp reviews before hiring a Company. My Customer can't believe it. Whatever problem you have with John's Upholstery, it's not Mel's fault. It's yours.

My husband and I were blessed to inherit a full Drexel dining room set with the purchase of our…read morehome. The previous owners had a cat and they were candid about the need to reupholster the chairs, not only were there some scratches but the padding left much to be desired. We were overwhelmed by the need to reupholster eight chairs and researched a few companies in the area; Carol's reputation was strong so we decided to go in and look at fabric selection and get a better idea of cost. We were treated professionally and given a verbal quote, even though Carol was assisting other customers in the shop she gave us some input as we scoured books and let us borrow a few to take home and coordinate in the room they are in. At time of order she suggested some minor adjustments to the original style (piping placement) and these subtle upgrades really gave our chairs a modern facelift. They also offered the option to order replacements of the original metal caps and replace with felt glides that nail in to protect our laminate flooring in lieu of the adhesive ones. The finished product is exactly what we envisioned, the padding is firm, the craftsmanship is superb and the overall aesthetic is appealing. They offer delivery/pickup within a reasonable area, but we work in Ann Arbor and Detroit, this limited our availability during normal business hours - Ann was very helpful in working with our schedule to arrange a time for both. We allowed enough time for our order to be completed in time for hosting our first Christmas and are so pleased to see the room come together. We will return for all future upholstery needs and certainly refer anyone we know in the interim!

His incredible skills, infinite knowledge and exquisite taste are the proof that there is such a thing as the true 'Renaissance Man' in today's world, and that human mind can wonderfully integrate esthetics, engineering, production, creation, problem solving and much more in a unified, magic chemistry. Along the past decade, I have had the chance to work with Alain on multiple projects, each one of them presenting tremendous challenges. All projects, including the construction from scratch of a concert grand piano, reached completion beyond expectation, thanks to his ability to methodically and skillfully resolve every issue, whether technical, esthetic or economic, in an ingenious and efficient way. Alain's skills range from fine woodworker, metalworker, mechanic, chemist, painter, finisher, photographer, jeweler, restorer, constructor and designer. There is no material, no process that is of a secret or a threat to him. Should you have a challenging restoration to have performed, especially on valuable collectables, or a special project involving solving unforeseen issues, or simply looking for the ultimate achievement, I would undoubtedly recommend contacting Alain and make sure he is the one who will take care of your needs. His presence among us is nothing else than a true blessing. Arno Patin Arno Patin Studios, LLC Signature Pianos Paris/Detroit/Portland www.arnopianos.com

In fact, it was so well done that we had them do the same work on our oak kitchen cabinet doors. Their commitment to service is excellent, and their work is a unmatched.

He knows quality and he appreciates craftsmanship. We had our dining room table completely refinished. Words cannot express how well it turned out. It is absolutely fabulous looking now. I even would go far as to say it's better than new. Restoring furniture is a craft and an art. It will cost you money but it's all worth it when you go to a professional like this. Don't be fooled by some of these other clowns that say they restore things and do yourself a favor and go here first. Oh and the best part of the store is seeing the vintage 60's Ruttman mini bikes. Both of them were FANTASTIC and done to showroom award winning quality. Just being able to see those mini bikes was worth the trip to the shop. Thank you!!!

My wife and I had a five pieces of antique French Provencal and Mid Century furniture that we…read morewanted restored by an upholsterer with very high standards and an excellent record of exceptional work. We spent weeks looking all around metro Detroit for the rignt upholsterer for this work. From the moment I met Tony (the owner), I had a.strong feeling that I had found the right person to oversee and complete this work to my specifications. Tony spent time discussing the scope of the work to be done and examined each piece carefully. I explained that the furniture contained a system of hand tied springs in the foundation, cushions and back and that I wanted the furniture restored with the spring systems included. Many upholstery places no longer work with spring systems and prefer to refurbish furnitire by removimg the springs and using firm foam instead. However, I wanted the unique feel of the spring systems (as well as the durability of the spring systems, which usually last much longer than foam alone) in the refurbished pieces. Tony listened to my requests, examined the furniture and came up with a detailed plan for restoring the furnitire. He gave me an honest assessment of the work to be done and quoted a price for the work, including material costs. Tony consulted with me all through the process because he clearly cared about the outcome of his work. It was wonderful and extremely gratifying to work with a true artisan and expert in his field. Absolutely nothing was left to chance, which I appreciated because I can be a difficult customer to please. During the process there were some changes to the plan that arose, including the need to completely refinish the woodwork on the French Provencal pieces. Tony cared enough about the outcome of this project to make sure this work was done to perfection at an affordable price. My wife and I were truly stunned at the finished quality of the work when Tony delivered our finished pieces. They look and feel incredible. I would recommend Tony and his remarkable craftsmen enthusiastically and without reservation. This high level of service and quality work is increasingly rare today. I am very happy to have found Tony and hope to work with him again in the near future.
