Great prices and lots to choose from. A little drive from Southington but hey the only fabric store…read moreI would go to in CT. Pretty good selection but it depends on what you are looking for! We all cried when Joann's left I mean I could run down the road for zippers or thread and the thought of having to order was not something I was looking forward to, but this place has zippers, thread, trim and wonderful home Dec fabric as well. Worth the trip.

I recently moved to the West Hartford area and needed a lot of fabric for new home projects. I had…read morebeen going to Ehrlich Decorating & Upholstery in Hartford and was beyond pleased with their selection; their customer service was also top notch. But there was a specific fabric I couldn't find at Ehrlich's so I had to go looking for another source. Mila had MUCH more fabric on hand. They also have a lot of fabric you can order - about the same amount as Ehrlich's, but different kinds. After spending months (literally) trying to find a specific fabric at Ehrlich's, Jo Anne's, etc, I found it in 15 minutes at Mila. The only downside to Mila is that the owner (I presume) lacks social grace and customer service skills. I found him to be pushy and incredibly condescending (and not just to me). I also had the distinct feeling he was rushing me and trying to avoid having to place a custom order. He's the type, you know, who is always right and you're an idiot. I hate those types! I would have given this 5 stars if it weren't for the owner. If you're looking for a robust alternative to your usual fabric/upholstery place, try Mila, but try to work with one of the women. Hopefully they won't roll their eyes at you...

First let me say that i have shopped at Milas for a long time. Harvey the owner has done this his…read morewhole life following after his father. He came from a time I remember when people relied on the expertise of the owner who knew their business before the mass market stores. He is a know-it-all because he does! Try to find anyone at Joanns who knows anything about home dec. I have been a seamstress for 40 years and there has never been a time that he steered me wrong or didn't know the answer to my dilemma. He may not be smooth but I know that he is doing his best for every customer. If you want the right fabric for the right job and want it done right. You can count on Milas. The ladies he has there are not just clerks they all have extensive experience and are very helpful.

I will be renewing my knitting classes with Pamela. She also has knitting/crocheting get togethers on Thursday nights at her shop. Be warned: she has so much delicious yarn in her store you will walk out with something for a new project!

So your normal pricing is what the 40% off would typically be.

This is one of those businesses for which I must admit hesitating to write a five star review. The…read moreonly reason is I kind of want to perpetuate the secret that such an amazing business exists. We have been doing business with Rachel for years now. Everything from reupholstery to commissioning of brand new furniture, pillows, slipcovers...you name it. When I say every single piece of work has been flawless, I'm not exaggerating. Rachel delivers her work on time, at remarkable value, and is capable of virtually anything you can dream up. A recent example: we have a beautiful George Nakashima table and have always admired the leg support construction. We asked Rachel to build an art gallery-style bench with the same type of support. She simply looked at the table when she was here and, a few weeks later, delivered a stunning Nakashima style bench with exquisite black walnut legs. If I pointed to this bench and told you it was Nakashima, you would believe it. If you have furniture building or upholstery work of any level of challenge, Rachel will be the best phone call you ever placed.

Rachel and her staff exceeded all expectations with the professional work they did recovering our…read morestools. She was thoughtful and informative with fabric recommendations, was able to do the job and had it done in a week. A brief consultation with a different local upholsterer left me feeling like it wasn't even possible. But Rachel took them on and did the job like a pro. Ten stars!!

Rachel is a treasure. Years ago students were taught in school the basics of sewing, but "fast…read morefashion" has seemingly rendered those skills obsolete. HOWEVER, it is so much better to invest in classic and quality pieces, and now you know where to go to have them tailored to a perfect fit. Rachel is incredibly talented and so creative. Her advice about what would be most flattering and also what is possible is so honest and so on target. Every garment becomes more beautiful with her touch. From elaborate wedding gowns to your favorite jeans, Rachel will make you look better than you ever imagined.

Go here before the big boxes! The furniture is laid out by rooms, plus a few dish, art, and lighting sections, so it's pretty easy to find your furniture genre. A pallet of tiles and some paints was also available. I didn't have the experience of donating, yet, but the browsing was a decent experience. Alas, the novelty kids bed was gone before I could inquire. The store has a facebook page if you want a head start in your browsing. The staff (or volunteers?) on site were kind. Overall, a good and green experience.

This location's usefulness and pricing really depends on what you're looking for. Furniture tends…read moreto be overpriced for quality/style. Laminate furniture appears to match prices you could get for new at Target, and it's dinged up here. But building supplies, drawer handles, sinks and other fixtures, and some appliances, as well as windows, doors, etc, are often priced well and can be the best match for someone looking for specific styles to match an older house, for example. I did find a very nice solid oak sofa table to refinish here last time, though, for only $50, so if you're here anyway for the affordable stuff, you might find a stray diamond in the rough.
