everything went well including the most positive feeling in all interactions for years

I HIGHLY recommend this wonderful small business. The owner did a gorgeous job reupholstering our living room chair. He took such pride in all the details of the fabric on the chair, impeccable attention to detail, and the results are beautiful. He was also a pleasure to work with, incredibly responsive and eager to please. They also picked up and delivered the large chair (from our 3rd floor apt!), and expedited the finished product to accommodate our needs. I rave about this wonderful business! It also feels great to support a talented immigrant contributing his talents to our community. read more

if you need upholstery done these people are amazing!! My sofa is beautiful! I will use them again! don't hesitate to use them you will be pleased. read more

Olger Moreno of Ecujimo has been doing superb upholstery work for me ever since he opened his shop in Brookline in 2022. Olger just completed a large reupholstering job for our new home: 18 chairs, 1 stool, 6 throw pillows of varying sizes and a bolster. Ten of these pieces he had upholstered for a prior home in different fabrics---they held up perfectly, but we wanted a different look in our new home. Furthermore, 2 chairs, 2 stools and 5 throw pillows that he had previously done for us are in our new home too. The math tells the whole story. I must be one of Olger's biggest clients who is not in the design industry. Olger is a master craftsman, a wonderful person, a pleasure to work with, and I can't recommend him highly enough. He is simply THE BEST! read more

I can't say enough about Ecujimo Upholstery and Olger. From our first interaction to this evening when he delivered our beautiful couch, he has been responsive, friendly, thoughtful with his advice, and just a lovely human being. That said, his work is also remarkable - Olger is a true master of his craft. When he reupholstered our kitchen stools he lined up the striped fabric across all three. He tightened screws, touched up paint, and these 20 some year old stools look like brand new. Our couch is beautiful! I am certain it is in far better shape than the floor model we brought home 2 decades ago. He picked the furniture up. He delivered it. He completed the work well within the time frame we discussed. There were no hidden or surprise costs. What else is there? I would never go anywhere else. read more

They are a wonderful service oriented local business. They did a great job on my 4 dining room chairs-both the upholstery and tightening up the chairs- had a lot of use the last 18 months working from my dining room table and were in very sad shape. They look beautiful and are now very comfortable! Lots of fabrics to choose from or bring your own. Very competitive pricing, quick turnaround, and the owner is a real pleasure to work with. read more

I wanted to have my needlepoint project made into a pillow and the owner of Ecujimo was enthusiastic about helping me even though this must have been a small project to fit in. What he produced surpassed my expectations and demonstrated craftsmanship and care. I know if such effort was taken with a pillow that a piece of furniture would be in very good hands. read more

I was fortunate to inherit high quality mid century furniture over the years. I would only trust Ecujimo to reupholster these treasures. Their painstaking attention to detail and perfection in quality of service is unparalleled! Matching intricate patterns across seams - even when not visible - is just one example of the workmanship that goes into every piece. We've had over 10 pieces of major furniture reupholstered meticulously and beautifully over the years in fabrics ranging from leather to suede to (childproof) crypton. They are always smiling and their love for their work is evident in their results. I wish there were more stars to give them. read more

I can't say enough about the quality of Ecujimo's work. He recovered my sofa, and also made arm covers and throw pillows. They all fit perfectly, with excellent details in the stitching and cording. Ecujimo himself is incredibly friendly and patient as I searched through fabric swatches and made my decisions regarding seat and back pillows. I strongly recommend him if you need any reupholstering done. P.S. I don't know why Yelp insists I live in San Francisco. I live in Boston. read more

Had a new leather couch that my dog decided to chew on. Twice. Ecujimo did a fantastic job fixing the holes. Couch is back to new. And,they are so nice to work with. Very reasonable price too. 5+ stars. read more

I generally am not one to bother with reviews, but my experience with this place, and Olger's service, let me to create a Yelp account just for this. My wife and I have an Ekornes couch and matching Chair/Ottoman that we purchased 10 years ago. We should have gone with leather, but decided on microfiber because it was substantially cheaper. Well, it didn't hold up that well, but we love the design of the furniture so much, we decided to see if we could get it re-upholstered in leather. Enter Olger and Ecujimo' Upholstery. First of all, Olger had a book of leather samples, but suggested that we could get a much better deal by purchasing the leather ourselves and giving us some suggestions. Indeed, we did that and got some great leather at a fraction of what it would have been purchasing from Olger. I really had modest expectations for this project. We really loved how the fabric was stitched, and pretty much wanted the same in leather, but weren't sure he'd be able to match it. Well, he did, and then some. What the other reviewers say about his excellent attention to detail is correct. He actually improved on the design by reshaping the couch cushions a bit, and the work he did is of extremely high quality. We now have a good-as new couch and chair! As other reviewers noted, it does take some time to get a project slotted in, since he is so popular, and our project ended up being delayed by a week, but it wasn't really an issue for us. Just something to be aware of. In the end, we ended up paying him a bit *more* than he asked for the project because we were so impressed. read more

After using Ecujimo myself to reupholster a chair, I have recommended them to several of our Move Maven clients, and each time he has exceeded expectations. I was worried when I saw their old storefront empty, but was delighted to find out they had just moved to a new location on Washington St. in Brookline Village. Olger, who I believe is the owner, is a master craftsman, and a very nice person! read more

Olger at Ecujimo's is usually in the front of the shop and someone is always available to help walk-ins. They were kind enough to drop off our chairs and everything came out beautifully. We have used them for several dozen pieces, vinyl, leather, and fabric - all of them came out great. read more

Olger is an extremely talented artisan. He and his wife were a pleasure to work with on a upholstery project of two Charles Webb pieces. Olger helped us find and select gorgeous high quality fabrics. He takes pride in a job well done, and our family is delighted with the outcome. They are stunning! The sofa, our very first piece of furniture from over 20 years ago, has been brought back to its original glory, and the chair has never been so beautiful. He even kindly gifted us matching pillows for the sofa. read more

You can't find a better upholstery service. Over several months, I gave Ecujimo my 6 dn. rm. chairs, 2 lv. rm. chairs, and my desk chair for reupholstering. The results were perfectly professional. There are dozens of upholstery fabric books in its workshop, but Jorge encourages you to look elsewhere, too. No attitude. When your job is finished, you'll get a text message with a photo of your beautiful new chair. When Jorge says he will pick up/deliver at your home at 8:30 am, you can set your clock by it. It was a pleasure to deal with him. read more

Ecujimo Upholstery - Can't recommend this shop highly enough - incredible professional work done by the nicest people... - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

We needed to get our dining chairs upholstered and went to this store. What an amazing experience. Friendly, extremely helpful and deep knowledge and understanding. We felt we were dealing with someone we had known for years. The quality of the work was outstanding and he picked up and dropped off the chairs. If you are looking to get furniture upholstered look no further. Absolutely superb read more

We had a family heirloom furniture made of rosewood from two decades ago which came with loose cushions. The cushions and the fabric broke down over time. We had Ecujimo design new cushions with new fabric (chosen from his catalog). His attention to detail is incredible. His new cushions with custom covers fit our old furniture better than the original cushions that it came with. For instance, he noticed that there was a slight asymmetry in the furniture which he used to his advantage. He also added a rope (?) like embellishment to the cushions which added intrigue to the design. He is very friendly and hard working. He does take a bit of time to do the work. For instance, we had to wait over a month for the delivery but what comes out is perfection. You cannot go wrong with him. A great local artisan to have in Brookline. read more

I found a gem when I found Ecujimo and it was 1/3 mile from my house! I had brought in a beaten down chaise, with the material, and with expectations that were not very high. What I picked-up was a gorgeous piece - stripes painstakingly matched and an extra pillow (totally unexpected freebee) - delivered free to my house. Next, I brought him a wacky project for a headboard and he "nailed it". Olger saved me extra yardage, and still the stripes lined-up perfectly (I guess that I like stripes...) Olger has also produced outdoor seating upholstery, which I had priced at Frugal Fannie's, at a fraction of their estimate. I suppose the reason that I haven't reviewed his shop before, is that I wouldn't like my projects pushed to the end of the line - should he become popular. My bad... read more

We have had over twenty (20!!!) pieces of furniture reupholstered by Olger and his shop over the past 10 years. I am about to drop off an additional 6 pieces and I am so excited because I know they will come back GORGEOUS. I would never go anywhere else! read more

I brought in two of my couch cushions that needed new inserts. I could not be happier with their work. My couch looks beautiful! When I picked up the cushions today they let me know they would keep my old ones for a few days just in case I was not happy with the results. Their customer service is absolutely incredible!!!!! read more

I just had my chairs reupholstered here and he did a fantastic job. This man takes pride in his work and it shows! Free pick up and delivery as well. I will plan on having my dining room chairs done at some point too. Reasonably priced and perfection of the job makes this place a real gem! read more

I called to find out how much it would cost to reupholster my chair. The man who answered asked me to email him photos of the chair, which I did the very same day. I did not hear back after a few days so I called and left a message. I did not hear back again so I emailed asking for a return call to let me know either way if he was going to do the work for me. He never responded. I was looking forward to working with him based on the yelp reviews, but I'm not sure why he never bothered responding to me in any way. read more

We were afraid you left Brookline Village,great to see you moved...We love all of your great workmanship

I didn't think they had shops like this anymore - a place that does excellent work, faster than the original time estimate, at a reasonable price and by the nicest guy, Olger, that you can imagine. Olger even talked me out of what would have been a very expensive and, it turns out, unnecessary refinishing job on the rocking chair I brought to him. He touched up the the finish, tightened up all he joints, repaired some splits in the wood, replaced the decades-old cushion and reupholstered it. The chair looks beautiful. I look forward to working with Olger again and can't recommend him highly enough. read more

I was so pleased with the thorough professional job that Olger did on the three upholstered pieces he refurbished for me. He kept us up to date on progress, made strong and thoughtful recommendations for materials to be used and delivered exquisite work. He is the best. read more

I was not going to review. I came to this site to find out Olger's name so I could tell my brother. Then I saw the two poor reviews and I had to respond. Both complain Ecujimo' Upholstery didn't do the work and one complains that family members write the reviews. Well, I am not a family member. I've met Olger three times: when I dropped the first chair off (June 2017), when I dropped the second chair off (October 2017), and when I picked them both up (November 2017). The first time he was candid that he was all backed up. Then I was laissez-faire in getting back to him with the second chair. When I did, he had both chairs ready in a month. Fabulous job. My mother's chairs, which she bought several decades ago, look like new. All new material, all new padding and they have a perkiness they didn't have before. He even made fitted arm rest covers which a lot of companies have stopped making. Very pleasant man who did as he said he would. My mother is thrilled, and so are my siblings! Ecujimo' Upholstery gets my vote! read more

Too many of their family members trying to give this place a good rating. They take the fabric and never do the job. They spend more time bragging on themselves then actually doing any work. Go someplace professional. read more

I am an architect and have used Ecujimo's for several projects of my own and for clients. I have been extremely happy with work and would recommend him highly. He does get busy, works long hours, and things can take awhile, so make sure you talk about any timing constraints. read more

I love this place. It is top quality. Olger has a wonderful eye. His prices are fair. He is devoted to his work.

Wish I could include before & after photos-the work Ecujimo did is that incredible! I can't imagine giving this company a bad review. I first met them when I went into their old location to compliment the GORGEOUS work they do. Everything in the windows always looked amazing. I have an antique high-back chair that was my great-grandmother's. It is well over 100 years old. Not only had the fabric worn down, but the wood legs were scratched and the springs were gone. I emailed photos of the chair to Ecujimo, and they walked me through how much fabric to purchase, and what they could do to repair it. The project took about 6-8 weeks but was worth it. When they delivered my chair yesterday I couldn't believe it. The wood legs were perfect, the seat (springs) were repaired, and could readily support anyone. And the workmanship was beautiful. They even went through the extra trouble of perfectly matching up the fabric pattern on both sides of the chair to create symmetry. You can tell they have a lot of pride and passion for what they do. Very highly recommend: professional, kind, caring, and excellent skills. read more
