Truly masters of their art. I am thrilled with how they redid my grandmother's wingback. Thank you, David and team. We'll be back soon with more to do. read more

Comfort Upholstery - Upholstered chair - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

David and team did an amazing job recovering my vintage chairs and even offered to polish up the wood frames. The price was very reasonable and the chairs were finished within a couple weeks. I'm surprised to read that two other reviewers found the communication to be lacking, as David was easy to get ahold of and quick to return calls/texts. The craftsmanship is impeccable and everyone I interacted with at the shop was kind and helpful. I would highly recommend Comfort Upholstery to anyone in the Chicago area. Thank you! read more

I am an architect "in the trade" and I have used David at Comfort Upholstery successfully for several years. In fact, in 2016 he did a very difficult job for me, and impressed me with his skill and knowledge of the piece he repaired. In the past he has always been timely and had good communication. This last experience with him, which ended today, however, was awful. I was promised that the job would be done within a week or two. Six weeks later David is not returning my calls or my text messages. So I decided to go by the shop - and they had not yet gone to work on my chairs. I'm extremely disappointed- not because they missed the schedule. I was flexIble about that... The lack of communication, and the way David ignored my simple request for an update on the job, is unforgivable. No one can run their business this way. I am sad to have to give them such a bad review. I know they're capable of good work... but he needlessly destroyed a good professional working relationship, for no reason whatsoever. Poor communication makes everything terrible. read more

We are so happy with our chairs! The team at Comfort Upholstery took our chairs from sad skeletons to gorgeous works of art. I got to see the shop and really understand their process before my chairs were made. I knew I wanted a mid century expert but was nervous after some unpleasant experiences with other furniture dealers and enthusiasts. David is absolutely an expert! He was so welcoming and friendly, making me feel very comfortable with the whole process. I hope to find more furniture to take to them in the future! read more

Comfort Upholstery has excellent service and their work and craftsmanship is superior - a cut above the rest! I first met David (through my friend who had 3 custom pieces done) and his team a year ago. I was looking to have my deceased grandmother's chairs restored and reupholstered. I could tell right from the start I wanted to go with this business. When you walk in, everyone is friendly and welcoming. As they were working on different pieces they let me observe their work. It was more than obvious that they take pride in their work and believe in quality, it was no question who should handle my grandmother's chairs. After I picked out my fabric at Fishman's, his team picked it up and I anxiously awaited two weeks. The end result - OUTSTANDING! I couldn't be anymore happier! My chairs are simply beautiful - he kept the integrity of the original design of the chair, replaced the cushions and batting, touched up the wood, etc. David and his team (a family business) made my grandmother's chairs look AMAZING! Upon delivery, the two guys were professional and took care in handling my chairs and ensuring I was happy with the result before leaving. I am grateful for David's professionalism and dealing with my picky nature. So thank you to David (and his team) for an exceptional job - my grandmother's chairs are priceless and I will keep them in my family forever! (See before and after pics) Let me add - don't judge this place based on their number of reviews. I came to find out they've been in business for a long time, have a good name, and have extensive experience - when I was first considering them, one of their clients was for the furniture of a TV show/set here in Chicago. Had I used the number of reviews as a barometer, I'd have missed out on hiring one the best. I imagine having been in business for decades, their word of mouth/referrals vs. the Internet has been their focus. read more

It is unfortunate that I have to provide such a bad review, as service and quality has been partially been excellent. However, I have been treated so poorly on a small portion of a larger job that I can no longer keep quiet. It has been over three months and David has not finished two sofa cushions that should have been completed as part of a much larger job. He generally does not return phone calls or texts, and when he does, he assures me that the cushions are in the mail or will be soon, but I never receive them. Poor form all around. read more

The place to go for re-upholstering modern classics. David and his team did an amazing job on my 1960ies Swan Chair at a very fair price. David is a real expert with a lot of experience and craftsmanship. Re-upholstering a Swan chair is one of the most difficult upholstering jobs and it looks like new. David responded immediately with a quote and got the job done within 10 days and even sent pictures of the work in progress. He picked up and returned the chair to my office at no extra cost. I can absolutely not confirm what other customers wrote in their reviews. He is a collector of modern classics himself and obviously has a passion for what he does. A clear recommendation for mid century classics. read more

Posting of review prompted a quick response and payment after months of promises - Finally!

I was recommended to David by the owner of Dial M for Modern on Milwaukee Ave. I have nothing but great things to say about the job he did on my chair. The attention to detail is unbelievable and the chair turned out absolutely gorgeous. David's pricing was very fair and I know b/c I checked around. He is a super nice guy (I met him when he came to pick up the chair) and the guys that work for him who delivered my chair were great also. I would highly recommend David for any upholstery needs!! And BTW, the chair took about 2 weeks to complete and David was very accommodating w/ pick up and delivery times. read more

We are absolutely thrilled with the work David and his team did to restore the mid-century dining room set we inherited from my husband's grandparents. After being told by several other craftspeople that the leatherwork was nearly impossible to replace, we finally found David through a friend in the furniture business. David was so pleasant and interesting as we talked about the set and the work, and we thought his price was very fair. He was so easy to work with on scheduling and got the work done in a short time. The work is exceptional -- he reconditioned and matched 60 year old leather strapping to new replacement straps and the look is seamless. The wood restoration is gorgeous and difficult repairs to the tabletop veneer are nearly invisible. We are beyond grateful for the beautiful work David and his team did to restore this family heirloom. They are true artisans and have given us a gift that will last a lifetime! I could not recommend them more highly. read more
