I am a third generation true fan of Leo's- I stand in line with my Gram and my mom- we wouldn't trust anyone else with our furniture! Frank is amazing- he saw my vision and transformed my sofa and armless chairs into beautiful new pieces of art. By the way, this is the second upholster with Leo's- he reupholstered our sofa and chairs after 20 years. (My sofa and chairs are over 37 years old- wedding gift from my grandparents). I absolutely love the way the furniture looks and Frank restuffed pillows and cushions - so comfortable! I am beyond thrilled - Frank delivered my "new" gorgeous pieces earlier than I expected! He also reupholstered my dining room chairs. I would recommend Leo's for any reupholster needs! Thank you to Frank, his brother, and son! You guys rock! JoAnn M, Deer Park IL read more

I just received my 5 piece sectional from Leo's. It is perfect. These guys are truly great craftsmen. The quality of work is spot on. The sectional looks just like it did when I purchased it from Bernhardt. They will not disappoint. This is the place if your need upholstery services. Look no place else. They also did chairs of formal and informal dinning a few years back. The informal chairs were an upgrade from the original purchase. The cushioning was greatly improved. These guys are pros. read more

I recently took 6 dining room chairs in for reupholstering. I met with Frank, Leo's son. he looked at my chairs, new exactly what make and wood type they were. He asked me if I wanted them completely refinished or just glued and reupholstered? He also added, you can't buy this kind of chair in a store today they're solid mahogany. Although it was more than I wanted to spend, I decided to have them completely restored. My chairs came out absolutely gorgeous. Frank even had his son deliver them to me. what a great family business. I'd recommend them for any of your needs read more

Frank was great to deal with. You can tell he really cares about doing thing the right way!

I will say that I was referred to Leo's by many neighbors & relatives. Every single person that I spoke to was happy with the craftsmanship , pricing , materials , time frame and ethics and attitude of every person that was part of the Leo upholstery experience . For myself: it began with Frank G. I called him. He is so pleasant & knowledgeable that one knows " This is the person that will create a fantastic piece of furniture for me". I emailed Frank a photo of my couch & chair . Scout & I went in to see him. This store is very conveniently located on the Chicago / Park Ridge Illinois border . There is parking in front and back. If you love fabric, you have arrived in Wonderland! You can stay all day !!There is a huge selection of both in- store as well as special order fabric and leather available to you. In addition, there are glorious stains in many colors available for wood. I choose a dark pecan. Now to material ... I chose fabric that was durable & available in- store ( very very affordable) . This was for a beautifully structured couch ( well worth preserving) that my brother had given me in 2009. It is 25 years old and was very costly with a wood frame. Scout's beloved easy chair required a new seat . We matched it to a store remnant of navy leather . This saved me a great deal of money and is very durable. It was a perfect match. If you are fortunate enough to have older pieces - save them. It's truly amazing what Leo's can do. Service? From the store to the pickup & delivery ; there was no stone left unturned. Pickup and delivery were on time. Work was done on time. Pieces were wrapped and perfect when reinstalled in apartment. Oh, did I mention Frank G. had a Wheaten and loves our breed as we do! It took me years to get this done but I'm so glad I did . Today we received both pieces . We highly recommend Leo's Upholstery & tell them Scout sent you! Note: we just had the dining chairs also reupholstered! They are stunning ! Serve as impeccable as usual. read more

These guys are nothing short of artists and experts in their craft. They're amazing! They are so thorough and communicative throughout the whole process from start to finish, so you're never left hanging or unsure. They gave advice along the way to ensure the end product was not only what we envisioned, but better. These chairs are my favorite thing in my house now. There's truly no one else I would've trusted for the job, and would highly recommend them to everyone - for designer pieces, family heirlooms, to restaurants. You really can't find this kind of authenticity or craftsmanship anywhere else. In a world of automation and mass-produced-everything, it's refreshing to walk into a shop that does it the old fashion way and pays careful attention to every stitch, button and detail. read more

Absolutely perfect job and excellent service and communications. They are a professionally run three-generation business with pride in their work. Punctual with pick up and drop off and offer a wide array of fabric selections. Cannot recommend them highly enough read more

I've had several items reupholstered here at Leo's over the past 20+ years I've lived here in Chicago...always been very happy. Recently I took 3 old (50-60 yrs) chairs onto Leo's...they redid the horse hair cushions and put animal print fabric I had picked out on them....I absolutely love them and have received many compliments on them already. The work was promised by a certain time but was done way ahead of time...which was a nice surprise. It's fun to see something you've had for years get a new make-over! Also they came and picked up and dropped off at the house. What great service! Thank you!!! read more

Leo's (Frank) Furniture & Upholstery does the most expert work of any upholsterer I have ever used in years of design work. The last chair that was reupholstered looks like new...straight out of a furniture manufacturer! Thank you for your attention to detail & prompt service! read more

From start to finish, this was a great experience. Leo's provided upholstery service to us for (6) dining chairs. Going so far as locating the fabric we wanted, even though it was discontinued, as well as taking it upon themselves to fix one of the chairs that had a broken seat. They expertly lined up the pattern so that the stripe sequence matched exactly chair-to-chair, and they were completed in one week. Hard to find craftsmanship and work ethic, that can't be beat. Inspired us to bring a few more pieces in for work as well. read more

Leo's did an absolutely fantastic job of repairing my grandmother's antique dining room chair. The stretcher broke and they did an expert job of repairing it! I can't thank them enough for the professional job. I would certainly use them again for any other furniture repair. Thanks guys! read more

Highly recommended. They refurnished my very old leather club chairs. So very patient with me as it took me weeks and many visits to request samples before I could decide. I finally decided on a very reasonably priced leather; they have such a wide selection. They picked up exactly when they said they would, same with return. The refurnished chairs are about a year old now and even with my Labrador mix enjoying them they still look brand new, beautiful job...beautiful chairs. WONDERFUL company to do business with. read more

We couldn't be happier with the work Frank and his guys completed for us. We had some chairs that my mother in law tried to redo for us. Well after a short period of time the staples had begun to pull out and I was worried one of my kids were going to lose a finger. We brought the five chairs in for repairs. The work these guys do is nothing short of Amazing. The seams are perfect. The work is clean and precise. I have great attention to detail and you can tell these guys really know what they are doing. I wouldn't hesitate to refer them out or bring them additional pieces to complete. Thank you very much for doing such quality work! Great job guys. read more

Here's a nice friendly upholstery place on Chicago's NW-side. They do some custom work and have reasonable prices. I had the seat for my motorcycle reupholstered here a few years back and recently inquired about some headrests. The guys said he could do it but recommended trying specialty auto upholster first. Pros: Location, Custom Work Cons: None Cost: $$ of 5 Overall Rating: 4 of 5 Recommendation: Recommended read more

Leo's expertly reupholstered and rebuilt a woodgrain executive office chair that was well worn. Leo's had a beautiful Ralph Lauren leather that matched the Michael's Cherry highlights on the original wood stain. The mechanicals on the pedestal were worn, prior to replacement the height was non adjustable. Frank Giordano, proprieter of the business, worked with me to find a replacement pedestal that was expertly stained to match the original stain and woodgrain. The workmanship at Leo's is top notch and the chair is better than when I originally purchased it. Leo's also picked up and delivered the chair to my residence in the Jefferson Park neighborhood. I would highly recommend this business to my family and friends. Job well done. read more

We are not young, and much of our furniture came from our grandparents. There are pieces more than 100 years old and finer than anything we could have bought, so I have been very careful about who I let repair or refinish them. Leo's has been absolutely reliable, high-quality, and very knowledgeable about how older furniture was made, how the finishes were applied, and what in the modern world will fill the same requirements exactly. I've been really impressed. We've been taking pieces to them one at a time, and even the fellows who came to pick up our dining room table were clearly professionals at moving delicate old things. Plus they're really nice to work with. We'll keep using them for sure! read more

I am so happy that I found Leo's. They did an amazing job with my teak wood chairs, which needed to be re-glued and re-upholstered. What I loved: everyone was incredibly nice and helpful, the 25 year-old chairs are now gorgeous - like new, they anticipated my needs and made helpful suggestions (all of which I was happy to accept), they communicated with me on a regular basis so I knew exactly what was happening, everything was done on time and the chairs were delivered early!! In addition, I had an antique chair that needed to be re-caned and they did a beautiful job with that, too. I could not be happier and am telling everyone who needs to have their chairs fixed to go to Leo's. read more

Folks, we found out about Leo's right here, from the reviews posted on Yelp. Now that our project is done, we cannot overemphasize how happy we are with Leo's, its owner Frank, and all of the skilled craftsman that work there. Absolutely perfect. We had old (but solidly constructed) cornices taken down by Leo's, cut to a more modern shape, and reupholstered with a fabric that Frank led us directly to. They also made two matching pillows with corded edges in a coordinated fabric. Wonderful work, and a delight to work with at all times. When we first went to the store, we had a few minutes to look around before meeting with Frank. What struck me most was all the work going on in the clearly-visible back room of Leo's. I quickly realized that these workmen were craftsmen, not merely assemblers. The place was abuzz with work. I knew they must be doing something right! When the workmen put our cornices with the new fabric back up yesterday, we took a very close look at the work, and again, could not be more delighted. You cannot see a seam, everything lines up the way it should, a 100% perfect job. We highly recommend Leo's! read more

Beautiful work! I had 6 - 1950's kitchen chrome chairs to be recovered and cane bench repaired. I first sent an email with pictures and Frank replied with a quote and details of the work to be performed. Frank was very responsive to all questions and correspondence over email and never tried to upsell or add any additional costs to his quote. I then went to visit him and look at fabric samples and he was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Next I delivered the chairs and he went over everything he was going to do and he explained my options for how the work was to be done. I really appreciated his suggestions and advice. We agreed on the timeline and I placed a deposit. He completed the bench first and the chairs before he promised and communicated status and when they were ready via email. When I arrived at his shop I saw the chairs in the window and was immediately impressed by how nice they turned out. On closer inspection the craftsmanship and quality work was excellent. He explained everything they did again and I could tell he is passionate about his work and it shows. He even saved all the leftover material and included new springs in the seats (at no extra charge). Communication was excellent via email with no surprises and he is very easy to do business with. Oh and the cane bench turned out really nice too! I plan to have a few other pieces done soon. read more

Frank Giordano is a true MASTER of his craft. I bought a really good quality cocktail table for my home 17 years ago. It showed signs of wear but no damage until my puppy decided to chew on the bottom shelf. Frank redid the whole table and it looks BETTER than it did when it was new. Absolutely no evidence it had significant chew marks. I don't know how he did it but I have a brand new table. I am beyond delighted and grateful!! I wouldn't think twice about bringing another piece of furniture to his shop. Amazing work, incredibly nice guy, and prompt. Frank, thank you with all of my heart for your work!! read more

Absolutely beautiful work! We had our set of mission chairs reupholstered in leather and had the wooden arms touched up recently. The set is like brand new. We have been so excited to show these off to friends and family. We would highly recommend them. read more

Leo's Upholstery does fantastic work. They have a quick turnaround and are good about communication. Their prices for larger pieces can get a bit pricey even if you are providing the fabric but you are paying for top-notch work and service so it is worth it. read more

This place is awesome! The people are the best Frank is a A1. He was understanding and went above and beyond to make we were happy with the work they did for us. I will continue to use them for whatever I need to have furniture reupholstered or new inside cushions. I highly highly recommend you use them! read more

Leo's took my $26 estate sale antique chair and turned it into a work of art! My crusty old chair had great bones but the cushions dated from the 1920s, the springs were sticking out, and the wood was knicked and scratched. I explained I wanted the sad chair to embrace leather and be welcoming instead of repellant. I selected a beautiful leather, antique looking tacks and complementary wood finish, then told him I didn't need the chair until Thanksgiving, giving a 12-week window. He said that was fine because it would be 6 to 8 weeks anyway. Four weeks ahead of schedule, my chair was ready and it's beyond my expectations. Solidly remade, beautifully reupholstered, the chair now shines in our house. The chair looks like it is ready for a show room floor. We can't wait to bring in another chair. read more

I had 2 chairs reupholstered. They also did some repair to the chair frames. Good service and great work. I highly recommend Leo's!

I have a couch that I bought at Carsons and the cushions went south in no time and they sent me replacement cushions (that were worse then the original), so I asked my friend if he knows of a upholstery company and he said Leo's and it is close by, so I called and spoke to Frank he was great!! I bought my cushions and boy oh boy!!!! I feel like I have a new couch!!!! Like Frank said it will be night and day, with the new cushions and he was right!!! I cant believe what a difference. It was the BEST investment I have made. I will tell everyone about Leo's. read more

Leo's Upholstery did an amazing job reupholstering an antique chair and I highly recommend their work. They were very responsive and highly knowledgeable as we discussed the project, and they completed the job early, and as quoted. I was particularly impressed as some structural/alignment repairs had to be made to the frame, after I brought in the refinished piece, and Leo's managed these at no additional cost and without damaging the finish. The chair seat , from webbing to coil springs and batting, also had to be entirely re-built. I trusted them with a cherished piece and some very expensive fabric, and couldn't be more pleased with the very high quality of their work, the reasonable cost, and the end result. I strongly recommend! read more

I highly recommend Leo's Upholstering. I was amazed by the friendly customer service and thought the price was reasonable for the top quality job they did.

They threw in a few extras, to my surprise, and I could not be happier with my "new" couch! read more
