They wanted to charge me like $1500 not anything that anybody that's not in the top percent can afford. We didn't go with them. They are outrageously expensive and we can not afford it.
Description of Work: They gave me a bid to recover one chair.

Work was very well done. I was amazed that they were able to remove the very old fabric which had hundreds of staples without tearing the fabric, and they were able to re-use it, which was very important to me. Chairs looked great and sit very comfortably now. Cost to re-do the seats was $100. If I had replaced the chairs, the replacement cost was $700 per chair. I am very happy!

I did not use the provider because the bid was too high. It may well be the case that the economics of the materials and labor involved make reupholstering very expensive but when the cost of applying new upholstery to a couch exceeds the cost of buying a brand new high quality couch (at $2500 for a simple 3-4 seat straight couch), its not worth doing. I would say their pricing is on the high side, because if all prices were in this range, no one would reupholster their furniture do to the cost. The couch will be donated to the Salvation Army and a new one will be purchased.

Joslin's employee assisted me with fabric selection so I could get the project done within my price frame yet with something appropriate to the original look of the sofa. I also was interested in avoiding toxic teflon coating, so she pointed me in the right direction. They allowed me to borrow a fabric book to look at in my own home overnight. The owner did a good estimate from photos I brought in.. helps to bring in photos in the case of a sofa. They also estimated 4 to 6 weeks, with fabric ordering, labor, etc. I ordered the fabric. Two weeks later they picked up the heavy sofa. And 2 weeks later they were done with the reupholstery! I am very satisfied.
Description of Work: Sleeper sofa, from 1948, was reupholstered. This service included replacing the springs with custom version, since original stock springs no longer available. Great workmanship !

I first when to Queen Anne Refinishers and they quoted me a price of $759 (not including tax) to put on the needlepoint seats, which I provided, on 2 dining room chairs. That included touch up and new cushions. I went to Joslin Upholstery and Interiors and had almost the same work done for $205 (including tax). The seats look great and I'm very happy with them. I saved myself over $500 by using Joslin.

I am extremely dissatisfied with Joslin. First, I felt the cost of the fabric was above average. This was mostly our fault for not asking about this up front. I highly recommend that you determine the fabric cost to avoid any surprises. Second, after spending around 6 thousand dollars to get some furniture reupholstered they delivered one of the chairs with a large, noticeable snag in the fabric. To their credit they did come and get the chair and replaced the faulty fabric but I wonder why that wasn't done before they delivered it to me? Did they think I would just accept it that way? The final straw for me was upon delivery of the repaired chair the delivery person, who I think is one of the owners, tracked mud all over my brand new living room carpet. When he noticed this as he was leaving he just shrugged his shoulders and mumbled, I'm sorry, and walked out. Like I wouldn't notice or something! I would not use this company again due to high cost and totally unprofessional behaivor not to mention the damage done to my carpet.
Description of Work: We engaged Joslin to reupholster 2 chairs and a camel back couch.

Response from JOSLIN UPHOLSTERY & INTERIORS
During the reupholstery process, including the selection of fabrics, we worked with the member & her designer. We showed them fabrics in line with her budget, but she ultimately chose fabrics that were more expensive. We gave the member a discount on all fabrics & worked with her to make sure the job was completed on time. The chair that had a flaw in the fabric unfortunately was not noticed prior to delivery, but was replaced without question & delivered back to the customer. The entry to the home was blocked by vehicles and other items& was only assessible by going through wet grass. One member of the household suggested all was OK. Only later did we know that the member was unhappy.

Very satisified with quality of the work and attention to detail. Would not hesitiate to use them again.
Description of Work: Upholstered an old 1930's chair for me. Provided valuable advice in selecting a good, wear-resistant fabric. Very satisfied with quality of the work. Initial fabric ordered did not meet Joslin's standards and they negotiated for replacement fabric delivery. They kept me informed on the status of the project.

I am absolutely thrilled with the way this job turned out. The wood frame/armrests/legs were refinished so the old scratches and dents don't show at all, and the delicate layers of wood that it's comprised of are now visible once again. The part of the legs that touch the floor no longer are in danger of chipping, and the minor imperfections of the wood show through like a fine old designer heirloom -- better than new, really, since it shows love and character in its history. Joslin's staff helped me choose the perfect fabric in the color range that I wanted, and one that was quite reasonably priced. Most of all, it's a fabric that can take a good amount of wear without abrading visibly. I would not have known to consider this without her help! She was efficient and fun to work with. This design of this chair requires absolute precision in the upholstering to look right -- since Saarinen's designs stress clean simple lines. And I am amazed how perfect it turned out. The nap of the fabric runs true to the lines, and the fit is perfect, museum quality! The supports for the seat were repaired and repadded, and now it is hard to keep my son's friends out of it -- it is SO comfortable and unusual a style that they all want to sit in it. This Grasshopper chair occasionally can be found at high-end auctions, and I'm very happy that Joslin chose to photograph it and post it on their website. I had chosen Joslin over Queen Anne Upholstery after reading Angie's List reviews. Joslin's pricing seemed more reasonable, but now I think it's not only the reasonable pricing but also the quality of the work that will keep me going back.
Description of Work: I inherited an original 1960 Saarinen Grasshopper chair that needed the seat supports repaired and the wood refinished. Since it's an original from this famous designer, I wanted it done right! This chair was my father's favorite, and he loved and sat in it every day for 35 years, at least. By the time I got it, the seat was sunken into a wallow, the fabric out of date and worn, and the wood had been stained to a dark mahogany color -- not at all the original Saarinen wood color. The wood legs and armrests and overall wood frame also was scratched and showed signs of wear. I wanted the wood frame/armrests/legs refinished to and the original natural color of the wood restored. I also wanted it reupholstered in a clean, simple ivory fabric.

I emailed the store about my couch and they replied promptly with a quote on the couch. I went in to the store. They let me take some samples home. I asked them to pick up and deliver it back to me..they did for a cost. They did a good job and I would use them again.
Description of Work: I had a couch recovered and 2 pillows made. They were helpful in finding fabric. They picked up the couch on time and returned it on time..it looks great..a little pricey,but I think reupholstery is expensive.

They were helpful, but never pushy or overbearing. I felt I had plenty of time to choose the fabric and when they learned that I needed the job finished in somewhat of a hurry, they did their best to accomodate me. The chair was finished within the time that I requested and it was lovely. They are not cheap, but the quality and workmanship are excellent and worth the price.
Description of Work: Had a wingback chair and footstool reupholstered. I chose the fabrics from their extensive and beautiful selections. The workmanship was absolutely beautiful. I was completely pleased and satisfied with their work.

I am a big person and pointed out the fact that it needed to be a strong re-enforced seat. They agreed. I took the chair home and four days later the seat fell out. I took it back. They admitted that they had left something undone. But, and here is my problem, they held the chair hostage. I had paid the total bill before leaving with the chair the first time. But they had forgotten to add something, I never understood what, to the original bill. They would not give me back my chair until they had exhorted another $125 from me. I'm sorry. I think they should never have done that. Talk about unprofessional.
Description of Work: The date given is only approximate because I was not a member of the List when this happened. I had a favorite wing-back chair recovered at what for me was great expense.

Response from JOSLIN UPHOLSTERY & INTERIORS
The member's chair was completed and paid for on December 4th. He called a few days later and said he had a problem with the chair, and was asked to bring it in as soon as possible. We had not charged for or done a spring re-tie, as everything seemed fine. We explained this to the member, and offered to re-tie the springs for 1/2 price, to which he agreed. We do not hold furniture "hostage". We are sorry that the member did not call and express his concerns. Had he done so, he would not have been charged.

I am planning to uise them again for another piece of furniture. Everything was done with professionaliism and respect for me and myfurniture.
Description of Work: I own a very old chair of indescribable vintage. The seat needed reupholstering. I went to Joslin with a pillow from another piece of furniture with which the new upholstery had to blend. Carol assisted me to find fabric. The chair was picked up by Joslin pursuant to the scheduled time. The work was done with expertise and the chair was returned to me as promised. During the process, I was contacted and advised that it would be best to do additional work or the springs would pop through the upholstery. I agreed.

Carol, Pam, and Jack were all incredibly helpful as we embarked on this project. The design of the chairs posed some unique challenges. Carol knows the many fabric choices inside out. She helped narrow the field, stearing me toward those that were compatible, affordable, and durable. She was both patient and enthusiastic. Jack confirmed that my selection would work well on the chairs. Pam requested quick delivery of the fabric, so the work was really expedited. The workshop is onsite, so I could see some other projects in various stages of completion - very reassuring. The chairs came home in just two weeks, and the workmanship is perfect. The final cost was just as advertised. The whole experience was a positive one. I recommend Joslin without reservation!

It was very easy. We spent a lot of time looking at fabrics and the people at Joslin's were very helpful. Once we had decided they picked up our couch a few days later and it was done about 2 weeks later. They even threw in 2 throw pillows for free. The couch is like brand new and it looks terrific.
Description of Work: We had a couch recovered and also new cushions made.
