They did a bad job. When I went to the shop to make some type of resolution she became hostile and threw me out of her store. Take you money and run!

Fantastic!!! These folks were very helpful is asking questions pertaining to the color of furniture this chair would be around as well as other fabrics in the room. They also took in consideration of the age of the chair as well as the fact that the sewing machine and chair was a 40+ yr. old engagment gift!!! The folks were very warm and thoughful and never in a rush and the job was completed very professionally and in less time than promised. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to one and all.
Description of Work: Complete recovering of a flip seat sewing chair. Chair was completely dismanteled and reupholstered from the base up and including the back with padding in both the seat and back as well as a reinforced folded rib surrounding both seat and back.

They had my loveseat from Nov 1, 2012 and never touched it until Dec 28th, 2012, the last business day of the year. They rushed thru the job to finish it by closing time, and the lack of workmanship is evident. The pictures tell the story. I had never had anything upholstered before, and was ignorant and naive. I asked them on at least three occasions for help selecting a faux leather that would resemble my leather. They've been in business a long time, I asked for their guidance. Each time, I was told I had to choose myself, they couldn't help me. So I went home with two arms full of fabric books, and my family and I made a selection from a two inch by two inch swatch from a book entitled Faux Leathers, that cost $85 a yard. Again, I asked what they thought, and again I was told that because my leather and fabric was out of production, the color would never be an exact match, so I had to choose by myself. I ended up choosing poorly. The fabric was a total mismatch. But I chose it....that guilt is mine. Now that I've had a piece of furniture ruined, I can clearly see that the process of fabric selection should have included ordering in a yard of each of the possible fabric choices, and then comparing them to the original piece. That would have assured a more satisfactory outcome. That was NEVER suggested to me, and I didn't know to ask. I know now. They told me upfront that the color of the fabric chosen would never be an exact match, but they NEVER said that they would not or could not replicate the styling, size, or craftsmanship of my original sectional. The work they did was second rate. Look at the pictures. The truth is in the pictures. It looks like my loveseat was upholstered by high school kids at the local VoTech.
Description of Work: They re-upholstered one piece (a reclining loveseat) of my nine piece leather sectional sofa. They ruined it. The loveseat is made poorly. It does not match itself. I definitely does not match the other eight pieces of my sectional.

Response from Decorating South Inc
We were set up to scam our store for $ 20,000 for a false claim by Ms [Member Name Removed] when we were hired to upholster one piece of a nine piece sectional. This person refused our color and fabric suggestions, stalled delivery for months, then once delivered defaced the piece by taking it apart and pulling stuffing out of it and as well as causing other damage, and refused to pay our invoice of $966.21. Ms [Member Name Removed] claimed $20,000 loss to the entire 20 year old sectional claiming this one piece no longer matched the rest of the sofa. Fortunately, due to the very suspicious circumstances of this sale, Decorating South had a complete set of photos of the completed piece beautifully upholstered before delivery to them. Decorating South won the court case and Ms [Member Name Removed] was ordered to pay our invoice. Her bogus claim for $20,000 was denied by the court. As a result of her court loss, Ms [Member Name Removed] initiated a smear campaign to discredit Decorating South on the internet by writing false reviews on many sites in an attempt to ruin our reputation. All documentation will be provided upon request. Please see our Facebook page for many photo examples of our finished work.
