They responded saying I would need 20 yards of fabric - I needed less than 8 yards. They said it would be about $2400 in labor. I got it done for less than $500 at another shop. It's not the same shop it used to be.

Amazing job!!! After years of tough wear in my home, my grandmother's sofa was in desperate need of…read morerepair and new upholstery. I'm not sure how old the sofa is but it definitely needed someone who could handle an old piece and restore it to its original condition. After reading the reviews here, I took it to Rawson's and was so happy I did. My sofa is beautiful and all frame damage has been repaired. I was even given the option to come check out the cushion thickness and stiffness to make sure it was what I wanted. The fabric I chose was not an easy one to work with but the pattern match is perfect and I love how this old sofa has found new life!! Communication was wonderful, chatted through texts and calls.

A sane person might take one look at Rawson's rather dingy, unkempt storefront in downtown San…read moreMarcos and ask, "Hmmmm....do I want to trust these guys with reupholstering my couch?" Let me answer that: Yes, you really do. We brought to them a curve-backed monstrosity of a sofa that we picked up at Goodwill for a song. It was a Victorian channel-back thing with horsehair cushions and it weighed 9,000 pounds. I think it had car shocks for springs. The sofa had spent a few terrifying months in our old, falling down shed and I'd be shocked if critters hadn't built a little subdivision in its undercarriage. (The old shed had rats. Lots and lots of rats. I'll just leave it at that.) Total Woman picked out some modern, funky upholstery and had Rawson's switch the channel-back design for a tufted back. They also tightened the strapping and restuffed the cushions. It was an overhaul, pure and simple. It took many months, but we weren't in a hurry and they knew it. Occasionally, we'd get a phone call with a question or two. On a couple of occasions, they asked us to drop by to confirm that they were going in the right direction. These guys clearly cared. When it was done, Rawson's showed up at our door and carried the sofa in. The owner -- not a young man himself -- and his father did the hauling. Combined age? I'd say 140. I'm not kidding. It was a sight to behold, but impressive. They would not accept help from me. The work was beautiful, and they made a broken-down couch extremely comfortable. So if you go, don't let the environs worry you. Rawson's is housed in a 90-year-old building built for a Model T dealership. Here, you will not be met with an overwhelming sense of order. It's a warehouse vibe, and a messy one at that. Supplies and furniture are everywhere. But who cares? They do great work. Our neighbors, whose home was built in 1913, trusted Rawson's to upholster their walls. Twice. Their WALLS, for God's sake. Now that says something.

Mr. Youn Koo and his team were finished with all of the pieces in under a week, and they look truly fabulous! I'm thrilled with the results. Long Upholstery Service allows customers to support their own fabric at no additional cost - whereas other upholstery services in Austin will charge you to supply it. They also pick up and/or deliver as well for a reasonable fee. I received quotes from several competitors around Austin, and Long Upholstery Service provided me with the most fair prices for high-quality upholstery services. I highly recommend them and look forward to working with Mr. Koo again in the future. Thank you again!

We recently needed our wood kitchen table re-finished and we found Austin Woodwright hidden away…read moredown on South Lamar. The finish on the kitchen table had become very sticky over the years and there didn't appear to be any easy way to get that fixed. Over time, the extra extensions for the table had even faded to a slightly different shade. Robert at Austin Woodwright gave us a really good assessment, stated what he could do, and gave us a couple of alternatives for the finish. Several weeks later, the table was done and was gorgeous. The table top and extensions looked like new, same shade, and a nice hard lacquered finish (he told us what he used, but I forget now). Anyway, thumbs up. We'll be bringing some other pieces down over the coming months. For what it's worth, this type of service can be pricey, but the work, the result, and the service were worth it. Finally, to say this place is hidden off the road is an understatement.. the road sign is very small, and it's very easy to drive by on the way south. The shop is back off the road in a little turn-about with several other small businesses.
