Reupholstered dining chairs

I can't say enough good things about my experience! He did an incredible job reupholstering my chairs--quick turnaround, flawless work, and totally fair pricing. Communication was easy and consistent the whole way through. Beyond the great craftsmanship, he's just a genuinely kind, trustworthy person, and it shows in how he runs his business. I'm so happy I found him and will absolutely be recommending him to everyone I know. Always happy to support someone this talented and solid. Thank you again!

Cushion goes flat like a piece of wood when sat upon

Oct 2023- Had deck cushions completely replaced. Measurement guy said he could get them made and foam we wanted in time. We hired them based on their word. There are many companies in the area we could have chosen. A few days before we had to leave company tells us they they don't have the foam we picked out. Company said they had comparable foam to what we ordered with one they had in stock. We had no choice but to accept their replacement foam trusting that they said it was comparable. Company is blaming us for accepting replacement foam which we didn't see until the day they delivered the cushions and we were pulling out the next day. Replacement foam is complete garbage. Contacted them to see if they would own up to using extremely sub par foam. Tried discussing with them to work on getting replacement to what we originally ordered when we are in the area again. Their response was we had to come in to chose foam we want. Um, can't come in because we are not in area yet and what we want is what we originally ordered. Cushions are one year old. You look at the pics and decide if the foam they recommended is anything you'd be happy with. Remember, this is only one year old and they started looking like this after 3 months. People who come to our boat have to use a cushion to sit on our cushions.

Seat repair

I found this shop on Craigslist. Gave the owner, Kevin, a call. I wanted to get my seat foam in the driver's seat repaired, and my headliner restored or replaced. I talked to him about some options and ultimately trusted him to do whatever he thought was best for the seat, and to replace the headliner. Both jobs took less than a day and were done professionally. I will update if anything about the work falls apart in the future, but for now I am more than happy with it and it looks great. Headliner is brand new and my seat no longer causes back pain. It was also very fair pricing.

Forward view of my new headliner. Look how well it matches my older fabric on the A piller.

Fantastic small LOCAL business! My 12 year old Landrover's headliner collapsed over the holidays, I brought it to KC Upholstery where I met the owner Kevin. He examined my falling headliner, brought out a sample board of fabric and found the perfect match. We set up an appointment date and he completed the job in a day. I can't tell you how happy I am with the outcome! If you have any upholstery needs I highly recommend you visit his shop!

Where in the post-pandemic world can you find a business that welcomes you without an appointment, has inventory in stock, gives you a fair price, and completes the job in two days? Wow! Kevin is the nicest guy in the world, and his wife is the sweetest. They do excellent work. We took the ripped leather cushions from two Japanese chairs to him, and in two days we had beautiful replacements. ten days before Christmas. These good people are miracle workers! We are so impressed and grateful!

I had a rocking chair reupholstered by this company. Gave him a swatch of the fabric. It was matched perfectly. Kevin, the owner was very nice, professional very affordable and did a fantastic job!!!

Where the cushions meet and piping work.

We had a terrific experience working with Kevin. We needed custom cushions for our bay window and to cut a rug down to fit a room and Kevin's work was perfect. He was very easy to communicate with, reasonably priced, and the final product is better than we could have imagined.

A complete replacement of panels.

I figured, one bad review, I'll give him a shot...A decision I would come to deeply regret…read more My speedboat needed some new seats. I wasn't too picky. But the cushions themselves showed signs of poor workmanship, especially given the price point. Like, maybe I was literally his 3rd client, ever? When I raised concerns, the response I got didn't really address the issues, which made the situation even more frustrating. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this company based on my experience. I'd suggest looking elsewhere if you're expecting reliability and clear communication, and any kind of value for your dollar.

Creepy, incompetent, and absolutely not seaworthy…read more I brought my boat cushions to Rynedesigns in Ocean Beach for a simple reupholstery job, thinking I was supporting a small, local business. What I walked into felt more like the set of a low-budget horror movie than a place of professional craftsmanship. The shop was filthy--strips of vinyl everywhere, half-smoked joints strewn about, and a weird, moldy funk that made me question how anything made there could ever go back on a boat. But the worst part? The owner. If you enjoy being cornered by a man who smells like old glue and asks if you "like the feeling of leather in the sun," then by all means, go for it. He talked about my boat like it was a woman he used to date. At one point he ran his hands over the old seats and whispered, "Yeah, she's got curves." I laughed awkwardly, thinking he was joking. He was not. Despite the nonstop weirdness, I went ahead with the job because I was in a time crunch. Huge mistake. The finished cushions looked like a DIY disaster. Uneven stitching, bubbling in the vinyl, seams pulling apart within a week. One of them wasn't even the right size. When I called to complain, he whined that "nobody understood his artistic vision" or some crap. Do not let this man near your boat, your cushions, or your self! The work is bad. The vibe is worse. If you value your boat--and your personal safety--go literally anywhere else. I genuinely regret ever trusting this creep with anything I own.

Ordering our loveseat and couch covers was an effortless, efficient, and energizing experience. I…read morecalled earlier that day to inquire about services, as my husband and I wanted to protect our new furniture from spills and our dog. The office manager, Estela, made the process truly seamless. She knew exactly what was required, provided an estimate within minutes, and worked within our budget. We value recommending excellent service, and we are very pleased with this experience.

Edit: this is in response to the comment below…read more I honor the fact that you are a small family business. That being said, you are a part of a community. It is important that you know your community and you are willing to negotiate as a family business. That is what will keep your business alive. I was really excited over the reviews, saying how quick they were to get back, how reasonable their prices were, and how they were willing to work with everyone. When I asked them for a quote to re-upholster 17x20 dining room chair, they wanted to charge $75 a piece for 6 dining room chairs. No deal, no hourly rate; no negotiation whatsoever. Then they said that they would not do delivery because normally you can "unscrew" the seat of the chair. I'm sorry, but by the time I unscrew the chair and bring a bunch of those over to you with my own fabric, what am I even paying you for? This might be really reasonable for upper class people. They did say at this business that reasonable is relative and I would agree. I was not able to get my service done here because it is way too steep. They were cordial, but clearly exclusive.
