Placed my late sister's chair in the caring hands of Pino. I hadn't expected to feel such a deep sentimental attachment to a piece of furniture, but Pino understood completely. His kindness, both in words and in the way he handled her favorite wingback chair,meant a great deal. He replaced the springs and reupholstered it with exceptional talent and care. I highly recommend this local small business for any upholstery needs you may have. read more

Pino Cristallo is a total pro and I highly recommend him for any upholstery needs. He answers text immediately, and was available to answer questions throughout the entire process, from us choosing the right material to requested changes to the design.

Pino Cristallo did a great job reupholstering our mid century danish chairs. At his suggestion, we were able to source the upholstery fabric from Hart's Upholstery and he worked with 2 remnants we found. The chairs have just the right stiffness in the padding and the fabric tailored perfectly to each chair. Would recommend and would go back to Cristallo's again for upholstery service. Note the shop address is now on 960A Soquel in Santa Cruz read more

Quick and we'll done work! Easy person to work with. Quality of work was excellent and I am picky!

My experience with this shop was perfect. My dog literally ate my couch- or rather, a corner of a chaise cushion. Pino had the great idea to take a piece from an area that wouldn't show, and then use a replacement fabric where it wouldn't be seen anyway. The work was done in a couple days and looks flawless. Photos show the before and after. Just a note for other customers - the address on Freedom Blvd. is not current. The address is 926A Soquel Ave. in Santa Cruz. read more

Nothing but the best! Pino was amazing! From initial quote via email to measuring to delivery (on time) - exceeded my expectations by far. My husband is a craftsman and is a stickler for good detail work and he was blown away by the attention to detail, and what I would call "perfection" of the job done. He created 3 custom cushions for a built in and re-covered two Safavieh ottomans in matching fabric. You can't go wrong! read more

Love my sofa. He is an artist. I would recommend him to anyone needing furniture reupholstery

2 chairs and an ottoman with new 'feet'. Beautiful job.

My mom took a chair in to get replacement springs and a new cushion. Not a big job at all, and she was quoted at $200-300 which is more than she wanted to pay but figured it would be worth it if the job was done right. When she went to get the chair a week later he told her it had taken longer than expected and the bill would be $450! That's nearly what the chair costs. When I asked him how many hours it took him he hesitated to reply and I could tell he was adding up the time in his head to justify this outrageous amount. My mom should have gotten a quote in writing but she didn't expect this guy to take advantage of her like this. The work was done well but again it wasn't a very hard job. Definitely not trustworthy at all. read more

Cristallo was recommended by several decorators, and he more than lived up to his reputation. He did 2 chairs for me, and the fabric is so perfectly matched, back, arms, cushions, every where you look is pure perfection. And not only that, when he finalized his bill he had charged me less that the original quote. I happily paid the higher price! read more

My husband and I had bought materials to recover dining room chairs for our beach house. When we saw that we were over our heads with the project, we sought the help of an upholsterer. Saw the very good rating for Cristallo's and gave him a try. Pino did a fast, efficient job and the chairs never looked better! Thank you. Called 2/10/19 and learned that Cristallo has moved to 926A Soquel Ave. Santa Cruz. read more

We had Pino refurbish and reupholster two armchairs and an ottoman and we couldn't be happier with the results. His sewing skills are remarkable, and his attention to detail, fair prices, promptness, and easy demeanor make his business worth far more than five stars. read more

Pino reupholstered our sectional couches, including repairing and replacing anything that needed it (they are 35 years old). They look like new! He worked closely with me in terms of design and how we wanted the cushions to feel and look. I am particular and got exactly what I had envisioned . His workmanship is outstanding and he pays close attention to detail. He is responsive and dependable. I highly recommend him. read more

Cristallo's just reupholstered a small ottoman for me which belonged to my grandmother. He did a wonderful job. He is very professional and takes pride in his work. He has done a few other upholstered jobs for me as well and they were also excellent. He has been in the area for a long time and has a good reputation here amongst the locals. His bill was less than his estimate. I would have gladly paid the higher price. But I will be sure to use him again and recommend him to all my neighbors and friends in the area. read more

Cristallo repaired and recovered a vintage chair for us a couple of years ago and did an exceptional job. Recently he made a house call and repaired another chair.

I can report the best experience with Cristallo's! My email was quickly answered, and I was able to send a picture and general measurements of my chairs, I received a quick and reasonable quote. He told me how much fabric I needed, and we agreed on a timeline. The chairs were ready on time, and the work quality is outstanding! I couldn't be happier...and I'm fussy about things being right. read more

Cristallo has recovered several pieces of furniture and the workmanship is excellent. He also used top grade foam for restuffing my sectional which had caved in due to poor quality by the manufacturer. His prices are reasonable because the work is top notch. I would only trust him with my furniture. read more

Excellent work on covering 6 dining chairs! Easy to work with and very timely completion of the work. Recommend unreservedly!

This is fine european quality craftsmanship at it's best. I highly recommend Cristallo's work. He's slightly higher than others in the area, but it is well worth it, for attention to detail, great service, and an incredible eye. 5 stars! read more
