Affordable Upholstery

.

It was snowing very hard and I was running late to pick up the items and the owner offered to stay after hours. When I got there my truck got stuck in the deep snow as I was pulling into the driveway and the guy even helped free my truck before he loaded up my items. The location is no frills and I certainly appreciate the low overhead. There was a huge selection of materials from which to choose. I ended up with a higher quality fake leather product that is very soft and the owner assured me that it will last longer and have fewer maintenance issues than the real thing. I believed him because the real leather that was replaced did not hold up very well. It has been a few months and I am still pleased. I was apprehensive on paying so much on fixing a used piece of furniture, but I would do it again because it came out like new for half the cost of the original items.

Owner was pleasant and helpful to begin with. Work done was very punctual. However, I changed the fabric for the chair via phone and owner claims he had nothing in writing to show so I have a chair I hate. Cushions do not fit well. Seams are not always straight and buttons are not attached with equal tension. Foam is very hard to sit on; even guests have complained. Throw pillow were not right material or shape. There are seams across the front where none existed before. Zippers were not put in well and show. Buttons were not added at all at first and now are not spaced correctly or inserted at same tension so they sit differently on the pillow. They did do an outstanding job of matching patterns on the couch when sewing the cushions. After a return, they adjusted size on ottoman that did not fit at all, added buttons, and somewhat adjusted crooked seams. Otherwise, I was out of luck. I have a living room full of poorly constructed, uncomfortable cushions which cost too much to redo at this time. Update: This work was done six months ago. Two of the throw pillows have split open entirely and four of the buttons have fabric that is fraying off.

When my wife had her baby shower this summer, her family presented her with an antique rocking chair that had belonged to her great grandmother. They had the chair refinished, but did not have time to get the upholstery work done before the baby shower...so we found ourselves in possession of a beautifully refinished family heirloom rocking chair, that was in need of upholstery. The clock was ticking on my wife's due date, so I immediately started researching upholstery shops in the Wichita area. Angieslist.com reviews pointed me to Affordable Upholstery. At this point I turned it over to my wife, and together they selected the fabric, ran through our options on rebuilding the seat/springs, and provided a quote. We picked up the finished rocking chair on Thursday, and my wife went into labor the next day. Just in time! Affordable Upholstery was always available/reachable by phone and email. The level of workmanship on the finished product was superb. Their work really exceeded our expectations.

Drew and his people came to our home the day after I visited their shop to see their work. They provided many sample fabrics, made suggestions as to wearability, coordinated with existing decor, and gave a written estimate. They took the pieces and returned them in less than a week; beautifully done. We were so pleased with the quality of their work we sent three more pieces (antique rocker, bedroom chair, and a footstool) with them for repair and upholstering. Within the week, all items were returned looking much better than when they were new. The attention to detail and extras such as regluing wood parts and retying suspension springs was greatly appreciated.

It was okay.
