It has sentimental value , so i decided to reupholster all 6 chairs. Pono couldn't match the fabric but searched and found something that was very close. He came and repaired all six chairs at a very reasonable price. We had a little bit of communication difficulty in the beginning, but that was speedily resolved. I am so glad that he took the job as others refused to come to our house to pick up the chairs....we would have had to drop them off at their repair shop. The chairs came out beautifully and I am happy with the job, well done.

We've had our futon sofa for over 20 years. It's comfortable and had a lot nice features. On New…read moreYears Day, the frame cracked right at the join. Unfortunately, the company it was purchased from was no longer in business. I didn't know who to call so I decided to check Yelp by inputting "futon sofa frame repair" and clicked on get estimates. To my surprise I got 5 responses all saying that my frame was repairable which made me quite happy. All had different suggestions based on the pictures I posted in my request. I selected The Leather Doctor Hawai'i because not only could he fix the frame but he could also fix our dining room chairs. He even had connection for getting the backing of our sofa cover and pillows replaced. I definitely made the right choice. A couple days later Pono came to the house to look at the "damage". He said it was definitely repairable. He would glue the original piece together, add a bracket behind it AND put in another "leg" for added support matching the color to the original as much as he could. Looking at our dining chairs he said just the webbing needed replacement as the set was also over 20 years old. The covers were fine. I was very pleased with his honesty as my husband and I thought we needed new cushions, etc. He left saying Thea, his assistant, would be sending me an estimate. The estimate came a few hours later. The best thing about all of this was that we didn't need to scramble to try to rent a truck to bring the items to him as neither we nor our friends own one. Everything would be completed on site. That was definitely a PLUS! Once I agreed to his estimate, Thea called for scheduling. Pono arrived promptly. Very courteous, friendly and respectful. He explained each step he worked. I was impressed that he notched the wood so that the board could easily rest in. It was centered and the tops of both boards matched. It looked like it was meant to be there. While the leg paint dried, Pono worked on our cushions. Again explanations were given as he replaced the webbings. The chairs now are comfortable to sit on and we no longer feel like we're "sinking." My family and I couldn't be happier with the results of his 5 hours of work. When the work was completed Pono cleaned after himself and took our sofa and pillow covers for repairing. Thank you, Pono. You are a gem!!!

This time one arm of our matching Natuzzi sofa was filled with sweat and dirt over the years and we thought of Phil immediately.

Phil was skillful; not only he conscientiously cleaned the dirty surface and sealed the imminent cracks with his magic hand he cleaned the whole set and prolonged the life of our living-room furniture. We highly recommend Phil.

This review is long overdue, but Yelp deleted my previous draft so this took longer than I wanted…read moreto post. I had a going away gift for a Cub Scout pack member that needed to be done at the last minute. I searched Oahu for engraving shops and came upon Engraving Hawaii. Previously I had passed by it a couple times while walking around the Schofield Exchange, but never looked in before. I walked in and there were two customers in front of me. Nick was helping other customers and told me he would assist me as soon as he could. When it was my turn, I explained what I needed and when I needed it, but Nick explained they had an influx of rush jobs that needed to be completed. He let me know that it was unlikely to be finished by the requested date, and I was ok with it, because I tend to follow the saying, "Poor planning on your part does not necessitate an emergency on mine." That evening, I receive a text message from the shop requesting I proof-read and approve the layout. They got the layout exactly how I requested and I quickly replied it was perfect. I was afraid to think that it might get finished in time, but their quick draft gave me a glimmer of hope that it would be ready in time. The next day I got a message telling me the item was ready. I rushed over to the shop and sure enough it was completed and looked fantastic. Because of Engraving Hawaii, we were able to present the award at the banquet for the departing member! I was so impressed with the friendly and professional service. The team is really customer-focused, and based on what I was hearing from their interactions with the other customers they were going to try everything in their power to get requests just right. Cheers, Nick!

We had already been to the Ala Moana Center, Pearlridge Center, and Windward Mall stores... Let's compare... Service wasn't as attentive as the Ala Moana shop. Maybe because this Kapolei one is way more spacious? I think there was more merchandise here... possibly because there's more room for larger displays? I saw that the hooded beach cover-up in Hawaiian Labubu print was here... (i was drawn to it at the Ala Moana store.) I'm really thinking about it, but I hardly ever go to the beach... and it's not cold enough to wear a cover-up in the summer... LOL!

Certainly you're a happy wahine as you shop at this store now with their newest location in Kamakana Ali'i in Kapolei near Macy's and with the holidays come the sale which currently it's buy and 5 get 25% off select items is quite huge and generous though wished I had five which I didn't but gosh I do love to shop here. My favorite print is the cute foodie print of shave ice, saimin and all the yumminess that we love here in Hawaii and thankfully they have that print in many forms and I'm so proud to own a piece of that as a travel bag that has saved me in so many ways as the expandable is big enough to fit a lot yet compact enough to be considered a carry on woohoo! They do have everything from beach mat, coolers to wet bag along with some cute accessories and even various types of flasks. Phone accessories is something that I got along with some of those card holders that would work great with the HOLO card or even any other transit card in other parts of the country is some that I got that would make great gifts makes this wahine happy as it makes gift giving so easy.
