I'm always so grateful I find an experienced, dedicated and honest tradesman. I seldom purchase inexpensive furniture. It would have been a complete loss had I not found David and Pedro., particularly when it comes to the trades.
The quality of work to create a custom cushion for my leather sofa bed is extraordinary.
I really can't say enough positive remarks to express how pleased I am. I try typically takes many years to find, a typically family owned and run business for tailoring clothing, shoe repair, hair and nail stylists, etc. I'm not completely jaded, still finding these businesses are becoming fewer and fewer. Many times they learn a skill passed down generation after generation. Honestly I think maybe consumers tend not to bother repairing, replacement is the norm. I don't buy what's necessarily currently en Vogue. I buy what I love and take care of my things which if it's a quality piece will last sometimes a lifetime. It's nice to replace things when I want a change, not because it's falling apart.
Places like Pedro's allow me to decide when I'm ready to move on to something different vs being forced. In addition although I appreciate change, typically I prefer everything I wear or use in my home , etc to be made extremely well the seams don't tear over time, color never fades and it must be comfortable and it makes me happy to look at for many years. I like attention to detail and all around time and money go into these items. Not true for every and I understand this way of shopping is not for everyone. I'm so grateful for trade shores that allow me to keep the things I love for as long as I like.
Pedro's is a perfect example of professionalism, they are very honest, to my knowledge can probably make anything possible, they are fair and a pleasure to work with from every aspect that is important for me, great customer service. They will redo anything that the customer is not happy with if the problem is valid. I haven't had to ever ask for this, However it was clear to me that they cared if their work was satisfactory from my perspective.
David was extremely helpful with choosing the appropriate fabric, in this case replacing an Italian leather sofa cushion. The original cushion was accidentally torn off and destroyed in the highway. If not for Pedro's, the sofa was shot. I would not have had the ability to sell it or enjoy it with a missing cushion.
My budget was tight at the time and did not have a budget to have a completely new custom shaped back cushion pillow made of high grade imported Italian leather.
I was given many alternatives to choose the best fit in terms of matching and budget.
I chose a synthetic material that matches well enough. I received guidance and options to make an educated decision. No it's not the same, but it's what I could afford. $200 vs a couple thousand.
David is mainly who I dealt with, he is so kind as well as an extraordinary upholsterer, strong knowledge base of materials. He seems to always be in a good mood and happy to help.
There was no way using throw pillows or anything except for a custom made back cushion (designed to only fit the left side of the sofa would work). It looked ridiculous with only the center and opposite side cushions. No way of using a blanket throw or anything else to cover up the missing back pillow.
Now if I could only find a tailor and shoemaker!
Thank you David and all those dedicated tradesmen, I notice great work; always happy to pay for a job well done.
