Sal is very experienced but unfortunately also very hard to deal with. We supplied the material for him to make patio cushions for a sofa, two club chairs and four dining chairs. In making a chair prototype, he got the width and depth reversed and the zipper came out on the side, not the back. Moreover, the workmanship was poor, with a very sloppy zipper that was not covered by fabric, zipper was not in the center of the panel, stitches that were too large, left and right side seams in different places (noticeable with open-frame chairs) and poor alignment to the material (see photos).
Then when meeting to discuss the problems, he was anything but helpful. Very defensive, and accusing us of not giving him correct information (we supplied detailed dimensions and sample photos, which were very clear to the other companies we interviewed), and then refused to continue with the project. He said he would refund our deposit less $150 (for making one cushion). Nothing like the "100% satisfaction, money-back guarantee" on his website.
And when I are back to collect the remainder of the deposit, he had deducted $200!! And claimed this is what he said, but there were two of us there when he said $150 and we remember clearly.
Unless you want to leave everything up to him and hope that the quality will come out OK, steer clear.
DM me if you want more info.
