We had a great experience with Nathan at Nakana's Upholstery. Our project -- creating new cushions for three large wicker chairs -- was completed in what seemed record time. Nathan was personable and a real professional. I thought he charged us a very fair price. The turnaround time was really quick, and the result was outstanding! Beautiful new cushions that look gorgeous in our house! Sometimes in our neck of more remote Hawaii, it's hard to find experienced craftsmen. Nakana's Upholstery is the real deal, and I'm pleased to recommend him to the community! read more

Excellent, beautiful, and affordable service. I had my dining chairs redone and my bar stools. I highly recommend them.

Nathan is a rare bird. He is a skilled artisan (take a look at the photo) and a very, very nice guy. About his work- he has sooo many excellent fabric swatches right there in his shop it can be hard to decide which one to choose, he works with a skilled and charming seamstress- besides himself that is, and he keeps traditional business hours in a great location. He does what he says he can do, tells you what he cannot, and finishes it on time. A real pro and a lovely person. Mahalo nui loa Nakana- San Francisco's loss was Hilo's gain. read more

Great dealing with a craftsman who takes pride in his work. Down to earth, easy to communicate with. Nathan knows his job and offered excellent advice on how to proceed with reupholstering the starting-to-tatter 30 year old seat covers of my 1994 Subaru Sambar kei truck. Very happy with the finished results. Gives a nice fresh look to my mini-truck. read more

What can we say but Nathan and his lovely wife, they are not only skilled artisans but very nice people. We had a sofa and chair that we needed to replace but we liked the wooden base and couldn't find anything new that we liked better. We decided to look into reupholstering what we had. We had heard good things about Nakana Upholstery but we had no idea how happy we would be with the finished product. We did have to wait awhile for them to have an opening, but we were glad we waited. Their skills were worth waiting for. Highly recommended. read more

Believe these reviews. Nathan just redid our torn, cracked, worn leather Italian sofa that is no longer available anywhere. We couldn't find one we liked, plus we have a matching arm chair (and when it goes...a call to Nathan). Add to the cost of a sofa the shipping and we were at a loss. Contacted Nathan and the results are beyond amazing, and affordable! We are over the moon. If only he were on the Mainland for our daughter's sake only. Our granddogter chewed up a corner of her leather sofa... Seriously, Nathan is a miracle worker. Highly recommend (and to top it all his estimated scheduling and costs are reliable)!!!! Thank you, Nathan read more

We are new to Hawaii and purchased a home in Hilo. I bought four bar stools made of wood, for our dinning area. The design is perfect for our home but had no cushions, they were uncomfortable to sit on. The design made it impossible to buy existing cushions. I took them to Nakana's and the owner, Nathan said it was not a problem. A couple weeks later they were finished Nathan came up with a design that is not only comfortable also attractive and very functional. His price was more than reasonable. Thank you Nathan Cookie read more

They did an excellent job converting my chaise to a ottoman. First class.

Nate is absolutely wonderful to work with. He does personalize and custom work and strives to satisfy your needs. Very, very responsive to your needs. Thank you Nate... read more

I didn't end of buying anything here, but if I ever did need something upholstered, this is where I'd go. Nathan spent at least ten minutes with me, describing what sort of fabric I'd need to recover my cushions, how much it would cost, etc. But then he mentioned that I could actually get them done much cheaper if I just bought pre-made ones at Walmart. Which I did. But thanks to you, I saved a ton of money. Thank you for your honesty and generosity! read more
