Description of Work: Grahn's basically created new cushions for me. They used my fabric and, using my very old cushions, made new cushion forms and upholstered the new cushions. They even added a cute trim that really brightened up the whole look of the cushions. The communication was excellent and they were quite willing to work with a tight deadline that I had. Definitely want to work with them again.

Description of Work: I sent an e mail and specified what I needed done and requested someone to contact me and get an estimate. Nancy Grahn contacted me the same day that I sent the message and we set up a time for her to come and take a look. She was prompt, friendly and professional. I received a verbal estimate the same day.

The work was beautiful, and they were reliable. They did everything perfect. They were expensive, but we feel they were worth it. They were the loveliest people, and the work was exquisite.

I was extremely pleased with the service and quality of work performed. I worked with Nancy through out the process, and she was knowledgeable and pleasant. She recommended a place to go for discounted fabrics to help keep the price down. The workmanship was meticulous, and they completed the chairs a week ahead of schedule. I will definitely use Grahn's for future upholstering work.

MAN I SPOKE WITH WAS NOT ENTIRELY UNPLEASANT, BUT ALMOST SOUNDED LIKE THEY DID NOT WANT THE BUSINESS. HE WAS PUT OFF WHEN I SAID I HAD MY OWN FABRIC, ASKING ME WHERE I FOUND IT, THEN DOUBTED THAT IT WAS UPHOLSTERY FABRIC AS THE PRICE WAS TOO LOW, IMPLYING THAT ANYTHING UNDER $25 PER YARD WAS POOR QUALITY. HE ASKED IF I COULD BRING THE SOFA TO THEM FOR AN ESTIMATE, BUT SAID I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LEAVE IT WITH THEM AT THAT TIME AND WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT TO THEM AGAIN IF THEY PERFORMED THE WORK, OR THEY COULD ARRANGE TRANSPORTATION FOR $90 EACH WAY.

Response from Grahn's Upholstery and Furniture Restoration
I APOLOGIZE IF I SOUNDED AS DESCRIBED HERE. WE HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS WITH FLAWED AND INAPPROPRIATE FABRICS FROM SOME RETAIL SOURCES. ALSO WITH OUR BACKLOG USUALLY 4-6 WEEKS THERE IS SIMPLY NOT ROOM TO STORE FURNITURE FOR THAT TIME. WE NEED TO SEE THE FURNITURE AND WE DO MAKE HOUSE CALLS. THIS PERSON OFFERED TO BRING THE PIECE IN AND I EXPLAINED OUR STORAGE ISSUES AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT WE APPRECIATE THE TIME SAVED BY AVOIDING A HOUSE CALL.

NANCY GRAHN IS WONDERFUL TO DEAL WITH. SHE DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB ON AN UNUSUALLY-SHAPED CHAIR AND ALSO CLEANED & TOUCHED UP THE WOOD. SHE WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING IN SENDING ME FABRIC SAMPLES BECAUSE IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO GET TO HER SHOP DURING THE DAY. SHE EVEN CAME TO MY HOUSE TWICE TO GIVE ME A QUOTE BECAUSE I LOCKED MYSELF OUT THE FIRST TIME! (SHE WAS VERY UNDERSTANDING ABOUT IT.) THE WORK WAS ALSO DONE A WEEK AHEAD OF TIME.

THEIR PRICE WAS RIGHT FOR THE WORK WE CHOSE TO HAVE DONE, BUT WE GOT SOME ESTIMATES FOR SOME OTHER PIECES THAT WERE A BIT HIGH. IT TOOK A LONG TIME FOR THEM TO FIT US INTO THEIR SCHEDULE. ALTHOUGH THEIR WORK SEEMS TO BE GOOD, THEY ARE NOT VERY PERSONABLE.

THEY TAKE IN FURNITURE THAT THEY CANNOT REPAIR FOR MONTHS, WHICH THEY DON'T TELL YOU UNTIL YOU HAVE BROUGHT YOUR PIECE IN. THE FABRICS THEY ORDER ARE VERY EXPENSIVE, SO THINK ABOUT LOOKING FOR YOUR OWN. OTHER THAN THAT, THEY WERE GREAT!
