Excellent craftsmanship and superior service. Johnny is truly a master upholsterer. I had my couch and loveseat and a 100-year old fireside chair reupholstered and refinished in no time. I highly recommend Johnny and his staff for family treasures!

Beautiful job reupholstering my sofa....and it only took a few days. Work was very professional. Johnny was patient with me and allowed me to take several swatch books home....several times, until I found the perfect material. I would very strongly recommend Johnny to anyone. read more

I had 4 kitchen chairs Ethan Allen destroyed by a flood.i inquired of friends multiple Fire Dept friends who said he's professional, fair priced saved by getting these refurbished then buying new ,the color match spot on and stitching cut and fit perfect and more comfortable the these chairs were when new. His stitching exceeds those on my original chairs. Valley Stream is Blessed with having such a great merchant read more

Among the most professional establishments of any business I've ever come across. Super responsive from the beginning to end. After walking in the early evening hours and speaking with the owner John the appointment was made for him to stop by at 10:00am the next morning. John was prompt arriving on time and after examining the sofa sectional which I've owned for more than 20 years and held great sentimental value to our entire family John assured me the sectional could in fact be repaired and rebuilt where needed and restored to it's original grandeur. He explained what exactly he would to do to the sofa and provided pricing to what it would it take to get it done. I agreed and he arranged it's pick up within 30 minutes. Within a week the sofa was returned after a complete rebuild and restoration. The work they put into getting the sofa sectional to its original state was remarkable. I could go into lengthy details though it's suffice to say these are a pros pro. No detail was overlooked and to be candid the work they did to restore this piece of furniture resulted in the piece being better, stronger, more supportive and far more comfortable than at anytime including from day one after I bought it. The sofa sectional looks and feels amazing and I am especially happy to endorse the quality and professionalism of this business and appreciate the work they did on this specific piece and highly recommend this business. read more

I have to start this review off by saying that the work that Johnny's does is a lost art. It took me months to find a reputable company to make a custome slip cover for a reading chair that I've had in my family for years. I called Johnny's and they were responsive, honest and upfront about cost. They did a beautiful job. Along the way there was a slight miscommunication and Johnny's corrected it and did right by me which is all I can ask. I would 100% go back to Johnny's and I would 100% reccommend to anyone who appreciates the quality of work that goes into what they do. Thank you! read more

I just picked up my slip cover from Johnny's after my original was badly stained at a Christmas party. Luckily I had a piece of material when I purchased my couch. I brought the material and cushion and asked if he could make a new slipcover. To use the word excellent would be an understatement. Looks like the cushion came out of the showroom. Highly recommended! read more

I hated my dinning room chair! I made the worse mistake covering them with plastic and when I removed the plastic they STUNK! I was about to throw them out but passed by this place and decided to reupholster the chairs. They had a perfect fabric in stock, changed the foam and had it done in a day. I like doing things myself and was going to do the chairs myself after they told me the price which was a bit high, but way less than buying new chairs. I decided to just let them do it and I am so glad! The chairs look amazing! If everything holds up I will definitely go back and do more items. I saw other items they were working on for other customers and they were gorgeous!Their craftsmanship is top notch! read more

Used Johnny's to reupholster 6 dining room chairs made in the 1930's.. Brought the chosen fabric to him. In one week, he tightened all the loose joints and used the fabric to create outstanding chairs. They were rewebbed, padded and upholstered on the seat and both sides of the backs. They far exceeded my expectations. The workmanship was meticulous. Johnny , himself, was courteous, professional and listened carefully to how my wife wanted the fabric centered on the chairs and did it exactly as desired. Price was quite reasonable. What more could you want ? read more

Established in 2007.

I first learned the craft of upholstering 26 years ago at a furniture manufacturer in North Carolina. Within a year, I was promoted to foreman. In 2002, I moved to Manhattan, where I continued my trade. Once again I earned the position of foreman and began working with designers on highend furniture in the trade only business. Eight years ago, I followed my dream of going out on my own and opened Johnny's Custom Upholstery in Valley Stream N.Y.

I am very happy with my decision to use Affordable Interior Design and with Stephanie, the designer…read moreI worked with. First, the design questionnaire was excellent - especially for someone like me who doesn't know much about interior design. It was able to identify my design preferences by showing different living rooms and asking which ones were to my liking. In addition, its questions served as a great preparation for the home visit, so Stephanie came well prepared for our meeting. Stephanie was very creative, professional, and helpful throughout the process. When she visited my place, we decided on a design together, in an efficient process, where she was able to translate my needs and preferences to interior design decisions and furniture choices. After two weeks, she assembled a furniture shopping list, within the budget I requested. I purchased all items she suggested. The furniture items were sourced from many furniture stores and I felt she did an excellent job finding items that were beautiful, fit the overall design, and reasonably priced. I get nothing but compliments about my place (even from my Architect friend who is quite stingy with design related complements...). Well done Stephanie! As to the cost-effectiveness of the service - had I done this process myself (even with friends help), I would have surely spent more time, more money, getting worse results. Finally, the service was well structured and transparent. Good stuff overall.

Offers friendly services for a lot less then the local competition. On top of that the owner worked in Manhattan so he has the inside scoop on the latest designs but at a fraction of the cost. Really! I checked. They do a lot more here than I though too, like windows and old stuff and new stuff. The guy is friendly and funny. I loved it here and he done a phenomenal job too. 5 stars easy. Must check this one out. read more

I adore the furniture and really try to take good care of it. Unfortunately, not once but TWICE a dear neighbor who was over for drinks broke off a carved piece from the back of a chair. He's not hefty; his physique just happens to apply pressure at just the wrong point . Anyway, he was surprised at my calm while assessing the damage. I explained that normally I'd need smelling salts, but I knew an expert craftsman who would repair the chair so well no one would ever know it had broken. I've used Rosini Furniture since 2018 and will NEVER go elsewhere. John is an artist. He has incredibly high standards for the work performed by his shop and it's evident in everything he does. I've written several other reviews that describe extensive work he's performed on my vintage furniture. Please take a look if you have time ... it may help convince you your furniture will be in the best hands possible because John is both highly talented and knowledgeable. P.S. My neighbor's being downgraded to a folding chair from now on
