I would like to update my review. I did have the sofa redone at your shop. We discussed ad nauseam…read morethat it would be a comfortable soft sofa and that the velvet would not attract as much dust and lint as it does. You said it was specifically a better product. I had another chair recovered in velvet at Calico Corners in Wilmette and it does not attract dust and lint at all so it is not necessarily a function of all velvets. You were not nearly as helpful as you sound here on yelp when I had these complaints after the sofa was done. You' were completely unresponsive and refused to assist any further. At minimum, the sofa should've been comfortable and you definitely did mislead me on your product.

We bought a pair of occasional chairs for our living room around 1999. I adopted one of those as…read more"my chair" and used it more than occasionally. During COVID, it was my work from home chair. You can see the damage. I didn't have high hopes for the future of this chair or its mate that had suffered a fair amount of cat abuse over the same time period. Anthony and his team are phenomenal. Given photos, he provide an honest estimate. Next he guided us in choosing new fabric from over a thousand choices. His associates took the chairs from our living room to their shop, telling us when they'd be done. They were completed right on time and the project cost was not a penny more than the quote. But beyond that, just look at the craftsmanship! The quality of the work is outstanding. I was floored. I thought these chairs were ready for the dumpster and now they're ready for the showroom. Brand new chairs could not possibly look better or be sturdier than these. And they would have cost about double what we paid for the reupholstering. If you think you have a challenging reupholstering project, Anthony and his team are more than up to the task. You will not be sorry for choosing them.

Once I picked the fabric which their store has an unbelievable amount to choose from Anthony came out and spent about three hours measuring our couches so the Slip Covers would fit to perfection. I thought that we probably would not get the Slip Covers prior to Thanksgiving because I placed the order a little late but Anthony did everything he could to get the Slip Covers made and delivered them one day before Thanksgiving.The fit was perfect. I felt like I just had two new couches delivered. Thank you to Anthony and his employees for doing such a good job and making our loveseat and couch like new. I highly recommend Slip Covers plus and upholstery to anyone looking to reupholster their furniture.

I stumbled upon Anor and Efrain while googling as I was still in the information gathering phase in…read moremy debate of buying a new couch and chair or upholstering my current ones. I emailed the company's email and Efrain responded in less than 24 hrs. The customer service was equally awesome from that point forward. He stepped me thru the process, gave me a large variety of options based on what I shared I was looking for and the end product was beautiful! Everyone who has come to my home is amazed that this is my old couch and chair set. Now, the work that Ancor does is not cheap. HOWEVER the quality, craftsmanship and customer service are impeccable and that will cause me to spend a little more all the time. Also, the company picks up and drops off your pieces! It is without reservation that I highly suggest you consider Ancor and Efrain for your next project!

I had one of the most upsetting and humiliating customer service experiences of my life at the…read moreMichaels store located at 9140 S Western Ave, Evergreen Park, IL 60805. On December 22, 2025, I was in this store from approximately 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Management should be able to clearly identify all employees and the manager on duty during that time. I ordered a 24-inch helium-filled balloon for my child's birthday. Because this size was unavailable at my local store, I was instructed to place an order at this location, which required a 1.5-hour drive. When the employee brought out my order, the balloon did not float at all, clearly showing it was not properly filled with helium. Instead of taking responsibility, the employee repeatedly asked me where the balloon came from, even though I had ordered it online for pickup and did not personally select or prepare the balloon. It was baffling and completely inappropriate, and felt like a blatant attempt to avoid responsibility. I politely explained the issue. Instead of attempting to resolve it, the employee wandered around the store without urgency or accountability. Their overall attitude was extremely rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. I had initially left my young children waiting in the car, assuming this would be a quick correction. However, more than 30 minutes passed with no progress. When I had to bring my children inside due to the long delay, they became upset and started crying and throwing tantrums. Because of this delay, my other scheduled pickups -- including cake and other party supplies -- were also late, leaving me with a completely chaotic and stressful birthday party preparation. When I requested a refund, the process was again unreasonably delayed. Multiple employees were present, yet none took responsibility, and their behavior remained unprofessional and arrogant. I then asked to speak with a manager. The manager told me that the balloon "would not float because it was large," which is factually incorrect -- I have ordered 24-inch helium balloons many times from other retailers without issue. When I tried to explain this, I was spoken to condescendingly, interrupted repeatedly, and treated with overt hostility. At one point, the manager stated that if I was not "nice," a refund would not be issued. This felt like a clear abuse of authority and intimidation. Throughout the entire interaction, staff members spoke sharply, dismissed me, and mocked me among themselves in an extremely unprofessional manner. As I finally left after receiving the refund -- nearly one hour inside the store, on top of my long drive -- employees were laughing and smirking at me in front of my children, which was deeply humiliating. As an Asian customer whose first language is not English, being ignored, ridiculed, and treated with contempt by multiple staff members felt degrading, discriminatory, and completely unacceptable, especially in front of my children. This was not a single employee failing -- it reflected a store-wide failure in professionalism, accountability, and basic human decency during the time I was present on December 22, 2025, from 3:30-5:30 PM. I sincerely hope Michaels reviews this incident thoroughly, including staff behavior and management conduct, so that no other family experiences this kind of humiliating treatment.
