We have a maple Scandinavian dining room set my parents gave us as a wedding present. When the kids…read morewere little years back, the original seat fabric got all stained and nasty with milk, etc. We went to an undisclosed interior design place and replaced the fabric with marine grade vinyl and thick padding. The result was horrendous. The vinyl was tucked, unprofessionally with big seams/creases at the corners, like a do it yourself job. We didn't care at the time - as long as it held up for the next 10 years, we were good. Come 2020 and that vinyl is getting annoying. Our butts stick to them, the chairs noticeably look bad relative to the rest of our furnishing, and most importantly, the kids aren't leaving have half their food on the seats. Santa Barbara Design Center has been here for a while and I stopped in randomly on the way to Home Improvement. I was introduced to Michael, a knowledgeable and personable chap. I showed him an online picture of the original chair, and that I wanted to restore the seat to its original, sleek, sculptural and refined splendor. He said no problem, provided a couple of premium quality fabric books, and we were on our way. We picked out the fabric and brought the chairs in. Michael commented "my god, who did this work?" 50% down and ten days later, chairs were done, with a message "come down and make sure you are happy." My wife and I looked, were pleased - Michael responded with "here's something that bothers me, I want you to see..." He flipped the chair over and on the bottom, the seat fabric was stapled just outside of the underside frame. You wouldn't see it normally, but from a distance or looking down from the side, you might. Immediately we thought the same thing, yeah, that's not ideal. He said it shouldn't be done like this, let me redo it for you, no charge. His upholsterer redid it, and boy those 8 chairs look great, almost better than the original! The seats came out sleek and wonderfully curved over the underlying pad. The fabric is comfortable, soft and elegant - couldn't be happier. The interior of SBDC fills a warehouse space and contains just about everything; furniture, rugs, lamps, etc. The staff were COVID compliant, and Michael was a dream to work with. He has an excellent eye for detail, is easy to work with, and is an honest broker; I wish we had more projects for him!

We had a slight issue with an item some time after purchasing and Grace has been incredible in getting it sorted out seamlessly.

They call themselves the Santa Barbara Design Center and they think the are comparable to the Los…read moreAngeles Design Center. In realty there is no comparison! The Los Angeles Design Center is comprised of many high end stores who sell top of the line designer products. In fact you have to be an Interior Designer to purchase anything there The Santa Barbara Design Center owner is not customer oriented. Six years ago we had their designer come out to our house and she picked out a sofa and pillows for us. She miscalculated which side the size of the room and also cutom made over sized pillows - which to this day we cannot use to sit comfortably! We recently went to the store only to find out from the owner that our sofa and pillows were worthless! We wanted to have our old family room sofa reupholstered but only to find out that it would cost as much as if you were to buy a new one. The biggest disappointment was when he bragged about changing our over sized pillows ,that their designer made for us, for the right size for $100. When my husband went to drop them off he increased the price by another $100 to the inserts! This was totally misleading! So now we were looking at $200/ pillow to correct their designer's mistake. Bottom line is that we have a very high end home in Santa Barbara and the pillows on our living room sofa are $1,500 each. The reason I am writing this review is to let people know that they should not be fooled by this furniture place

Magically, Reed started work just days after us closing on our new home. It all began with Julie taking notes as we described our ideas and chose materials in their comfortable showroom. Next came a very effective site visit, where Romain painted an incredible visionary picture for our primary bathroom remodel. In addition, all flooring was replaced with beautiful wood, the entire condominium was painted, new book shelves were built and the primary closet was updated. This comprehensive remodeling project turned out far better than expected. The accuracy, precision, quality and professionalism at Reed Interiors and Construction were astounding. The entire process was constantly supervised by Romain and Julie. Everything was done exactly on time and within the allocated budget. There was nothing left for us to do but to be amazed. We very highly recommend Reed Interiors and Construction to you without any reservations whatsoever.

I tried to purchase bed sheets from Cabana for my 12th anniversary. I needed the best…read more I decided to purchase local versus the Internet, as I needed a knowledgeable person. Over several days I engaged in 3 conversations with a Cabana salesperson. She recommended their house brand (Matouk) and assured me Matouk was a "best seller" and "Cabana carried nothing but the best". Over subsequent conversations it was clear that the salesperson could not answer basic questions such as "why is Matouk your best seller?" I prompted her to discuss thread counts and cotton types, but she was mostly stumped. She eventually admitted that she never used a Matouk product. I had the impression that she had never used a fine linen product. I eventually found a sell on the Internet with a tremendous amount of knowledge that made me feel safe in my decision. I also felt like I learned something, other than what is the "best seller". I spent 15 minutes on the phone with an expert and made the decision....that was a savings when you consider I got nowhere with Cabana in over an hour of discussions and research. I spent slightly more, approximately $1000, on the Internet than I would have spent at Cabana, but for my 12th anniversary I needed to be 100% certain that I would not be disappointed. I also felt better telling my partner all about the type of cotton, thread count, etc., rather than simply saying "happy anniversary, the Sales person told me it is there best seller".
