I contacted Anthony on September 28 and arranged to get the chairs picked up on October 1. Within hours, he called back and expressed concerns with the amount of fabric provided, but told me that he will review again and call back with any concerns. After not hearing from him on over 18 days, I called him to get a status on the chairs. To my surprised, he had not started the work and claimed he would start in a week. During this conversation, Anthony argued with me about the length of time he has had the chairs, and declined continuing the job. It must be nice to be in a position to decline jobs and argue with clients. Definitely a learning experience and pay more for better service.

My mother is very nice and so she took them and didn't really inspect them. Once I was able to visit my mother the pillows were flat and awkward looking. Endrina had kept the leather covers and inserts initially returning nothing until I said something my mom.

It's a huge disappointment when trying to deal with our kind. When addresses she refused to pay for the lost leather covering and the inserts she so kindly "courteously" (sarcasm) replaced without my mother's permission.

Run. Run fast. We sent an old French settee and a period Sheraton settee to be stripped and reupholstered, I paid a $1,000 deposit. When the fabrics didn't arrive fast enough, we were threatened with additional charges of another $1,000 plus, or they were going to sell my property. We went and picked them up, but I had to threaten legal action to get my property back and let them keep the initial $1,000 I paid. The old French sofa was damaged when I sent it, I had asked them to strip it, so I could send it for repairs and then return it for the upholstery to be finished, but Leonel's assured me they could perform the repair, so I made sure the leg that had broken was kept with the sofa. I've been waiting over a month for the leg, it was in the office and they assured me it would be returned. I finally got tired of waiting, so we went out to Leonel's to get our missing leg, No leg. They did give us a chewed up piece of the sofa from where the leg attached to the sofa that they had removed. They had told us they had the leg in the office when went to pick it up initially and they would return it with the larger french sofa that couldn't fit in my large SUV. No leg then and no leg now, just a chewed up piece that used to be attached to the sofa. We could hear their dogs barking in the office! Also, when I initially talked to Leonel's they gave me a quote, just before we had our movers deliver the two settees, Leonel's asked if we still had the quote. I didn't have it handy, so I told her no, but I did still have it filed away. She issued a second quote which was not the same price as the first and that was after I told them I would have someone else make the cushion seats. No apologies, no explanation, just lies, threats, and accusations that I'm saying horrible things to her when I question the chewed condition and teeth marks on my furniture. read more

Quite a bit of savings versus buying new if you can update and keep the great quality you had initially. Carlos' team is also always polite; great communications re: status of your project and always "there" when I need them! GREAT TEAM and GREAT Leader and FAST as I've needed each project!

After a little over a week, my sofa was ready and in excellent, like-new condition!
