I recently moved to the West Hartford area and needed a lot of fabric for new home projects. I had…read morebeen going to Ehrlich Decorating & Upholstery in Hartford and was beyond pleased with their selection; their customer service was also top notch. But there was a specific fabric I couldn't find at Ehrlich's so I had to go looking for another source. Mila had MUCH more fabric on hand. They also have a lot of fabric you can order - about the same amount as Ehrlich's, but different kinds. After spending months (literally) trying to find a specific fabric at Ehrlich's, Jo Anne's, etc, I found it in 15 minutes at Mila. The only downside to Mila is that the owner (I presume) lacks social grace and customer service skills. I found him to be pushy and incredibly condescending (and not just to me). I also had the distinct feeling he was rushing me and trying to avoid having to place a custom order. He's the type, you know, who is always right and you're an idiot. I hate those types! I would have given this 5 stars if it weren't for the owner. If you're looking for a robust alternative to your usual fabric/upholstery place, try Mila, but try to work with one of the women. Hopefully they won't roll their eyes at you...

He came from a time I remember when people relied on the expertise of the owner who knew their business before the mass market stores. He is a know-it-all because he does! Try to find anyone at Joanns who knows anything about home dec. I have been a seamstress for 40 years and there has never been a time that he steered me wrong or didn't know the answer to my dilemma. He may not be smooth but I know that he is doing his best for every customer. If you want the right fabric for the right job and want it done right. You can count on Milas. The ladies he has there are not just clerks they all have extensive experience and are very helpful.

A gentleman walked up to me, im thinking he may be the owner and said "someone is allergic" I informed him that my dog was a hair dog, a hypo allergenic dog. And he said "Im sorry", he kept saying im sorry but someone is allergic. I walked out and on my way out I said "I am never coming back here again" Ive spent 1000's in this store in the past but I will never return. My dog is an emotional therapy dog (which I did not mention because I was so thrown off that I forgot) but what if I was a diabetic and had this dog for my health, or any working dog? Those are usually Shepards and Goldens, they shed they are not hair dogs. I am just so very disappointed in the people in that store.

When I searched I found this location in Glastonbury, I had only know Southington until I googled, well I can not say enough good things about the staff there. From the moment you walk in everyone is pleasant and happy to be there. I was very fortunate because it was Wednesday Maria was there to help me fumble my way through things. She even went above and beyond by 1) staying past her scheduled time & 2) when she really needed to go she made a little sample for me to follow with written instructions. I did not get the gentleman's name that was there but he was wonderful also. I am looking forward to the winter months for some of their classes as they do quilting classes and that is always something I've wanted to learn. So make sure to check out their website and classes.

I had a wonderful, helpful conversation with the owner, Linda, who guided me through the process and offered her suggestions. Linda's store has an endless selection of fabrics so it could have been an overwhelming experience. It was not! Linda helped me narrow down my search and after a very short time searching through books of fabrics I found exactly what I was looking for. I purchased the fabric with lining as well as the hardware. We had her staff install the finished product and we are so pleased with the result. Her prices are competitive and because she's a small neighborhood store, I felt very well taken care of. If you need window treatments, decorative pillows or anything at all to do with fabric, this is the store for you.

We worked with Marsha, one of Imperial's designers, to choose fabric to complement our kitchen pieces and vision for (hopeful) renovations when the time is right. Marsha worked patiently and cheerfully with us, even as I changed my mind after putting a down payment on the work. I didn't expect her to have us back in for another consult, but she did, saying she didn't want us to just live with our choice, but to love it! I am so thankful for her "going the extra mile," as one of the fabrics she suggested ended up being lovely and perfect! And the finished product is amazing, with impeccable craftsmanship (I saw another reviewer used this very apt term, and had to repeat it!). This is the second job we have had done at Imperial. You can be sure you will receive the best of customer service and finished product! Joe and his team all go the extra mile to provide courteous, generous, and outstanding customer service and work. Thank you, Imperial team! :)

I asked the a lot of people I know and at work for recommendations and came up empty. So I searched online, came up to a great yelp review on Imperial Decorating. I decided I'd give it a try although I had an appointment for an estimate with another upholstery shop. After several emails correspondences, I finally drove to meet with Joe. Upon entry, I was greeted with warmth. My consultation with Joe was so great, I canceled my other appointment immediately. Fast forward to a few short weeks, my beautiful green sofa was delivered and I fell in love with it. Joe was meticulous about everything...the fabric selection, the nailheads and the cushions' firmness for my petite frame. Everything! I love that Joe was respectful of my budget. Lastly, I was beyond pleased with the delivery. I simply loved my experience with the team at imperial decorating and I would recommend them to anyone.
