I am so incredibly pleased and happy with my custom blinds from this place! Distinctive Window…read moreCoverings is a small local family-owned business, run by Julie and Joe, with a nice location in downtown North Andover (a cute sunny shoppe, with lots of parking & easy access). I had two large living windows to cover (72 and 84 inch wide) and wasn't sure which style of blinds to go with. Julie was incredibly patient as I flip-flopped back and forth. She offered excellent advice and helped me weigh the pros and cons of all my options. She's so friendly (and funny) and easy to talk to, that I really felt like I had a friend shopping with me! An important aspect and something that I very much appreciated is that she gave me her honest advice regarding functionality and aesthetics, without trying to lean me toward the more expensive options. She genuinely wanted me to be happy with the style and color, no matter what I decided to go with. All my questions were answered promptly, whether I called, texted, or emailed. Her husband, Joe, did the quick and professional installation, and it was very reasonably priced. And I am absolutely THRILLED with my window coverings (I ultimately decided on Hunter Douglas top-down bottom-up blinds). I don't know if the photos (I'm uploading pics of the 72 inch window) does them justice. They are BEAUTIFUL. If you're looking for a friendly, reputable local business that offers quality brands, along with top-notch customer service and installation, this is the place! I should mention that Julie and Joe were also very conscientious in regard to safety during this COVID pandemic (masks, social distancing, etc.), which was very nice during this challenging time.

Wow. I've been hunting on the internet for some fabric to recover an antique loveseat I picked up…read morecheap on Craig's List. I've found pretty much nothing, and find it really difficult to search sometimes, because I have literally no anchor for the design. We currently rent, plan on buying in the next few years, and even if I were planning on matching the current neutral-toned living room, the loveseat's the first piece to be done, so it's totally wide open. I was thinking of a burgundy color, and was thinking of ultrasuede because it's supposed to be very easy to care for. But I basically have a blank slate, which as Amanda at George's says is "both a blessing and a curse". We went in on a Saturday at a little before noon. I went with my mother and my incredibly well-behaved baby, who was quite happy to play peek a boo with a scrap of cloth Amanda cut for us as something to walk around and use to match fabrics. I went because in annoyance with online fabric warehouses I did a search for warehouses in MA, and found a list somewhere of ALL the non-chain fabric stores in MA. I noticed George's was in Lowell and figured a 10 min drive was worth it. Their website advertised 30% off all remnants, so I went hoping to score the 9-10 yards I need for the loveseat, or at least get some ideas. There was another adult daughter-mother team in there and Amanda was working alone. She handed me a couple of books of microsuede so I could look through them. We then went wandering around looking at the rest of the fabric, which is laid out in coordinating rows. The selection of in-stock stuff is small, but there is a HUGE variety of fabric that can be ordered. The remnants were wild in their variety. We ended up with several small scraps that were only $1/each (plus 30% off, so $0.70/ea) to make some soft stacking blocks for my baby and her little cousins. We also ended up with a few remnants to do a small chair in the baby's room and a duvet cover for her bed. I found a remnant of a GORGEOUS print. I wouldn't do a piece of furniture in it because it's too light, and therefore terrible for kids and pets, but it makes great accent pillows, or I'd put it as wall paper on a single wall or something. It was inspiring. Amanda found some beautiful fabric they had in stock that matched and of course the suede books yielded several possibilities for coordinating pieces. I will end up spending more at George's than I would have if I'd been able to find something online, but honestly, given the amount of time I've spent on various websites staring at hundreds of fabrics, wondering whether or not "good for upholstery" actually meant what it says (it doesn't), wondering if my screen resolution was accurate in its color displays (it's not), and given that the prices at George's are not the highest I've been quoted from other fabric sources and upholsterers I've talked to. I also have to say that Amanda was SUPER helpful, knowledgeable and extremely nice. I've read a lot of reviews of other fabric stores and upholsterers and read about how unfriendly and unhelpful people are in them. If I didn't have an upholsterer already I'd absolutely be bringing my stuff to George's, but I'll be buying fabric from them for sure, and I would recommend them, and specifically Amanda, to anybody.

They had someone come out and measure then we went down to the showroom and picked out some samples to bring home to see how they looked in the space. We picked out a carpet and they scheduled the install once the carpet came in. The showroom is stocked with a great variety of samples that you can bring home. The staff at the showroom was very knowledgeable about the products but didn't offer much interior design & style advice.

I would like to share my details why I chose Post Road Carpet. I started my search in October to…read morefind the right carpet and right installers for my bedroom precisely 17'x 16.4 " this is a large room. I found a carpet in one of the below mentioned stores: The carpet is from Nourison Homes, Grand Textures Pastures. The carpet runs 13'.9 "meaning there must be a join involved as the carpet inorder to fit the size of the room. This was not going to be an easy project. So, I set out to find a 5-star carpet store with in-house installers. I visited major carpets stores in Massachusetts Danvers, Burlington, Canton, Andover, Wellesley, Wilmington, and the NH Monadnocks Region. I was very disappointed in the carpets stores I visited. The reasons for my disappointment are: A good selection of brand name carpets but installer reviews were 1 -star poor. Many carpet stores contract out carpet installers they are not in house employees and they don't care. Other reasons, sales people did not check if carpet was in stock, yet came to my house and gave me inaccurate measurements asking me to hold the tape measure, then informing me I would have many joins and cross joins in the carpet in addition off the wall quotes, other reasons poor selection of high-grade carpets, Lack of interest in the project, and just telling me you will never find what you are looking for trying to sell me synthetic carpets. I needed to find a carpet store that sold Nourison Home Wool Carpets and had in-house installers from a store that had 5-star reviews: In December of this year, I found Post Road Carpet in Acton, Mass. I called Post Road Carpet and spoke to Zach Thomson a sales representative. I told him what I was looking for and I was in formed they carry Nourison Homes and they have in-house installers. Zach immediately called Nourison Homes and found out this vendor only had 21 feet left of the carpet I was interested in. At this point, I decided to select a different color but same wool carpet from Nourison Homes. I asked for a quote. Zach Thomson came out same day. In hand he had a digital laser measuring device that gave precise 17.4 x 16 measurements of bedroom within 7 minutes or less. In addition, he asked me how I wanted the pattern in the carpet to flow, either vertical or horizontal, and where I would prefer one join. I was immediately Impressed. I received an extremely reasonable quote and I requested a wool pad. So, almost a 2.5-month search for the right carpet, right store and excellent installers I went with Post Road Carpet. And then the surprise,I was informed the color I initially fell in love with came off reserve and they had plenty of the color Pasture carpet available . The store manager Joe was also on hand and confirmed the availability of the carpet with Nourison Homes. I was told allow two weeks for arrival at warehouse. In two weeks, the carpet arrived at Post Road. Now it was up to me to schedule installation date. I called them Christmas week and they said the installers are available December 27, 2024. I was absolutely thrilled. We moved some things to prepare for the install, as I live in a town house and bringing in a wool carpet up 2 flights for a 17.4 x 16 room is no easy task. The turns to the 3rd floor are narrow and I needed 2 bureaus and a king size bed moved by the installers. Two installers arrived promptly at noon. My husband and I were so impressed. In less than 3 hours, they moved the furniture to a small office, they ripped out a carpet that was 25 years old and brought in the new carpet on their back and did all this without any mishaps, no nicks, in fact we did not need to prepare as much as we did because these installers were amazing short of a miracle. I cannot even see the join as the carpet was laid with perfection, The wool pad is so supportive and the insulation of the carpet removes the cold from the floor. I want to Thank Zach Thomson the sales Representative for an amazing job 100% ***** I want to thank Joe the store manager for an amazing job 100% ***** I want to thank the two magical installers, (sorry I did not catch their names for an amazing job 100% ***** This was a huge project my quest lasting 3 months ended with Post Road Carpet in Acton Mass For delivering a beautiful wool carpet as this was all I hope for and more. Thank You so Much, Paula Marshall
