After 17 years, the seat cushions on our pair of desk chairs needed a new makeover. We called a handful of upholstery shops that were local to us. I had to clear my ears with a Q-Tip at some of the prices these places were quoting us. "Is that for one chair or two???" Goodness, might as well get new ones.
I even ordered two from Amazon. Built one of them and hated how it looked against our home office desks. Took it apart while mumbling )#%&(&% as I put the whole thing back in the cardboard box to return. Yeah, you try doing that, it is no fun. I also watched DIY YouTube vlogs to see if maybe I could do it myself. Nah, better not!!
I actually found Ed's Upholstering on Google. Called them up and they gave us a quote that made me repeat the price back twice because I couldn't believe it. On the same day, we took the chairs to the shop. We were greeted immediately with a big hello from Ed's son, Dorsha. We chatted a bit about how long the shop has been around (for my Yelp review writing) and they have been in business since 1978. I got to meet Ed while he was busy sewing. Dorsha says that his dad still does most of the work.
You can bring your own fabric, choose one that they have in the shop or order from their swatch books. Dorsha took one look at our torned up seat cushions and showed us a fabric they had that matched the old one. This was at no extra cost.
Final product: I am beyond pleased with how they turned out. Thanks, Ed, for making my old chairs brand new again. read more
