Had chairs and sofa reupholstered years ago. Time to go back for a refresh! Excellent workmanship,…read moreservice and communication.

When we decided to recover two club chairs and an ottoman that had seen better days, picking out…read morenew fabric was the fun part. "It shouldn't cost too much to recover them", I thought.... Suddenly I wasn't having fun anymore. Until I found Anne on Yelp with all of the stellar reviews. I called her, she ANSWERED the phone and was prompt, professional and enthusiastic about my project. Her prices were SO good and her estimate SO reasonable I was a bit skeptical. Throughout the entire process she communicated the progress and estimate when she could do the work. She hit every target and we received our chairs and ottoman right before Thanksgiving (and I told her that would be nice but I'd understand if she couldn't meet the date). As in any transaction there are 3 parts to the work: 1) the initial contact and sense of confidence a customer gets from the business 2) the process of getting the project done 3) the end result. Somehow her stock just kept rising in my eyes. Even my husband was impressed and glad we had the work done. And the price is reasonable and well worth the workmanship. LOOK NO FARTHER than Acanthus for all of your upholstery needs. As corny as that sounds I'm of the age that I know somebody's grandma said that "look no farther" thing about something because it was plain and simple wisdom. I'm not an easy reviewer so if you're looking for some confirmation that you should go with Acanthus I hope this helps

I have these nice, but very plain dining chairs made by Sun Furniture in the Netherlands. After…read moremany dinner parties that required the modular leaves in the table to slide out in order to accommodate more seating, I grew attached to the table that these chairs match and bought the set from a former landlord when we moved. Also, after said dinner parties and many nights of home work sessions, and a cat who insists on sitting at the dinner table, the fabric was looking a little tired. It's this sort of hessian / burlap fabric, in an oatmeal ticked, off-white color and let me tell you, it was a staining nightmare and they didn't take well to spot cleaning. So in my crafty hubris, I got all ambitious and decided to reupholster them myself--mmhmm. And here's my adventure . . . I did the research, watched some videos, visited several fabric stores, took home some swatches, picked out a great, durable fabric that matched my decor, even rented some tools from the local tool library. The seats really weren't too bad. But removing the staples, even with an upholstery hardware tack lifter was time consuming and luckily the padding was in good shape. Then there's using a regular staple gun (which I can safely and completely advise against) unless you like your hand cramping for two days after completing ONE CHAIR! So I bought an electric staple gun to speed the process which I hope to get some use out of in future projects (not related to upholstery.) Now, the fun part is, the wood on these chair bottoms and backs aren't straight plank, they have a slight bow or curve to them, making my first venture into pulling fabric taut and not stapling my hand or the cat to them mighty challenging. To add to the excitement, the backs of the chairs are these wooden planks with channels in the bottom and sides where the fabric gets folded over the padding and crown stapled with a pneumatic stapler. I had rented these tools as well as a small compressor with every intention of going all Bob Vila up in my house. After taking out rows of the small, tough bastard , 18-guage crown staples from ONE SEAT BACK, and nearly rendering my hands gouged and useless, I began to do the math of time divided by my amateur expertise and decided to let someone professional handle it. I took the backs to several places and got quotes and time frames ranging from insulting, to preposterous to outrageous. 1) $25 per seat back. 2) $150 for the set of four ($38/per seat back) 3) $45 per seat back. Really?! $160? I mean, I'm doing my part to reduce, reuse, recycle and all that, but I could nearly buy another complete dining set used for that much! And Alamo, did it for $12 per chair and did a lovely job with quick turnaround. Moral of the story is this--I have a new found, deep appreciation for the upholstery craft. And I may or may not venture into trying my (sore) hand at it again, but if I have a serious job to do I'm taking it to Alamo's. They are a super nice couple working out of their basement and I felt good giving them my money (probably not nearly enough for the trouble). He remarked my chair back types were tough to do, "All the staples," he mumbled. All the staples indeed. I am still finding castoffs all over the house. Stepping on them in the middle of the night . . .Eugghhh! Just take it to Alamo!
