I didn't know much about hiring a reupholsterer except that they all seemed too expensive for the pair of cheap, ugly chairs I bought on eBay. But Astudillo Designs had a different vibe than everyone else I talked to -- they were kind, offered a quick turnaround time, and gave a very fair quote -- and I decided to go with them. I was really stunned when I got the chairs back -- I wasn't expecting much for these lowly specimens, but now they look like a million bucks: the pair match precisely, the fabric patterns are centered and aligned perfectly, and all of the seams are crisp and clean. A really great experience in an opaque world. Thank you, Astudillo Designs! read more

These artisans do fabulous work! I am super-impressed with the quality and the turnaround and the courteousness and the delivery...everything. I am certain there are many average reupholstery studios in existence. Astudillo Designs is way beyond average--their work is beautiful. read more

My husband and I had two Cy Mann chairs reupholstered by Astudillo, and were extremely impressed by the quality and turnaround time of their work. The chairs are in a Milo Baughman style and so have a fairly complex design, so we were nervous about how they might turn out. We shouldn't have been worried, as Oswaldo did a fantastic job and the chairs look amazing. Would highly recommend them. read more

Oswaldo did a great job with my old crate and barrel sofas . Instead of buying new sofa set reupholstering gave a totally new lease of life to the study old set. Very rarely do we get stuff which is worth every penny. read more

I used this business to upholster two couches, which they did wonderfully. It was actually a sectional that I had split into two pieces and covered in multiple heavyweight fabrics- so it was a hard job! Then I had them make ripple fold curtains for the living room, and blinds for both my bedrooms. Again they did a spectacular job. Now, I am having them do my sons headboard. I'm sure it will be great too!! I recommend this company whole heartedly. read more

I just used oswaldo and diana for the second time....they are THE BEST...and i consider myself a perfectionist. the first time they reupholstered 3 office chairs for me, this time they repaired and reupholstered a family antique that i wasn't sure was able to be saved...THEY MADE THE CHAIR BETTER THAN IT EVER WAS! i can't wait to see what they do with my next project. read more

I chose Astudillo because of the good reviews on yelp. First issue: pick up time. I was originally told one time (only to be told the cushions were not ready). I was told a second time (only to be told the shop was not open when I went to go for pick up). I finally did pick up the cushion covers, but it was a slight hassle. Second issue: the owner of the business smokes in his shop. This is not ideal if you are looking for upholstery. Third, and worst issue: The cushion covers came back many inches too small. Yes, the pricing quote is cheap, but buyer beware. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. I manage a property for a high net worth family. Normally we would pay in excess of $30,000 for reupholstering of a sofa, etc. Astudillo was recommended to me from a vendor of mine. The quality of craftmanship is unsurpassed. We use very expensive and delicate fabrics, leathers, silks, horsehair, vintage fabrics, etc. All of the pieces he has created for us are beyond perfection, padded correctly. The attention to detail is fantastic (we are perfectionists). Amazing quality, very reasonably priced, excellent communication, sticks with deadlines, honest, friendly, helpful.... it really does not get better than Astudillo Design. read more

Beautiful work, reasonable prices, nice people. What more could you ask for? I have a trunk with leather corners that my cats had utterly shredded. The thing looked like hell. But Astudillo did some magic and honestly, now it looks brand new. I am so pleased! read more

Oswaldo did an excellent job upholstering my lounge chair. He was very detailed and neat. Diana was very nice and helped answer my questions and gave me a very reasonable quote. The entire process was efficiently managed and executed. This is the place to go to when you want a competitive price, quick schedule, and quality work. read more

I could absolutely not have found a better upholsterer for my beloved parsons chairs. I chose Astudillo based on the Yelp reviews, and when I find something great I want to make sure others get in on the action as well. I chose a pretty complicated fabric and the team made it look seamless from front to back. And there are two of them and they look as though I bought them in this fabric together. Stunning. It is worth every penny to get your work done here. In fact, I have two more chairs I need done and I am willing to rent a car and drive them from Harlem to LIC just to make sure that Astudillo does them because I know they will do them right. (I also had them done almost two full years ago and they are still stunning.) They are cash only, so be prepared for that. read more

We recently reached out to Diana and Oswaldo to reupholster our love seat . We had spent many months reaching out to local upholstery businesses in the area and were frequently quoted prices higher than the cost of the sofa or were ignored for what we assume were larger projects from other clients. In addition, we had found 8 yards of beautiful but discontinued floral print fabric for the sofa. Most of the other businesses insisted they needed 10-12 yards of fabric to do the job without looking at the sofa. Diana got back to us quickly. She quoted us a very reasonable price for the job and was even happy for us to drop by their workshop to see some other projects they were working on and walk us through our project. We had concerns about how the floral pattern would be applied to the sofa. Oswaldo ran us through, section by section on the sofa how he would do everything and reassured us that all patterns would line up. They picked up our sofa later that day and returned it to us one week later completed. Oswaldo did an expert job reupholstering our sofa. He was so thoughtful with every detail. All patterns lined up with the 8 yards provided and he even upholstered the hidden areas of the sofa like under the seat cushion. He added straps to keep the edges of the seat cushion from popping up when people sat down on the sofa (another concern of ours when we approached Astudillo). All in all, Diana and Oswaldo did an awesome job. We will be sure to bring them more upholstery jobs in the future and would recommend them highly to anyone in need of reupholstery. read more

Astudillo Design - Beautiful end result by Astudillo - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - Maspeth, New York

20 years ago, I purchased a sofa that was part of the Pace Collection designed by Irving and Leon Rosen. While searching all over NYC for a replacement, I found a lot of sofas that were either way way overpriced or of very poor quality, or both. I then realized that the best alternative was to find a high-quality upholsterer to restore the good work of the original. I read a lot of Yelp reviews and finally zeroed in on Astudillo Designs. I visited Oswaldo at his studio twice and communicated very thoroughly and easily with Diana via email. I shared about a dozen samples of fabric with Oswaldo and he helped to select the final. The sofa was picked up as scheduled, and returned 2 weeks later as promised. WOW! It is indeed BEAUTIFUL. The Rosens would be proud. I will forever return to Oswaldo for any future upholstery needs. If you have work to be done - - RUN, don't walk, to Astudillo Designs. Bravo!! read more

Astudillo Design - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - Maspeth, New York

I had chairs and an ottoman recovered by Astudillo. It was very easy to communicate my designs with Diana via email. I chose my own fabric and leather and all pieces were completed in less than two weeks after the fabric arrived. Everything looks great and is finished beautifully. I had spoken with others. Premier didn't want to work with leather and brought samples of their own fabric which were very thin and felt cheap and the price per yard was the same as the Kravet fabric I chose. The other labor costs were much more expensive. Very pleased with my experience. read more

I cannot recommend Oswaldo more highly. When my grandfather passed away this fall there was an old chair of his that I wanted for my home in NYC. My aunt shipped it to Astudillo Design; I shipped the fabric; and a few weeks later, they delivered the beautiful, detailed, reupholstered chair. They are worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. I would use them again and again. If i can figure out how to add before and after pictures, I will...the work is stunning. read more

Astudillo did a great job on a pair of matching club chairs for me. Very easily arranged and reasonably priced pick up and delivery. Fair price, quality work, quick turnaround! read more

Reupholstered a 25 year old 7 piece contemporary sectional from the Pace Collection. Oswaldo retained all the features of the original design. His work was terrific, fairly priced and timely. Reupholstered sectional looks like new. These guys are a "find". read more

I contacted Astudillos to reupholster two high end Henredon love seats that belonged to my mom. Diana, who is very pleasant, gave me one price which included delivery both ways. The price seemed very reasonable. They picked up the couches and the accompanying 8 pillows. I was acting on behalf of my mom because she is elderly and was not inclined to going out much. She wanted her own fabric and Diana told me I could go to the D and D building and select the fabric of my choice which Astudillos would order for me under their account with no mark up or so I was told. I thought that was great! The job was delayed in part due to sudden medical issues concerning my mom's health which were rather serious and obviously pressing at the time. A few months went by and they had the couches. Truthfully, I did attempt to contact them a few times during this period and they did not get back to me. I had no reason to believe that the delay would cause a problem for them. I later find out they were on vacation. So the upholstery work would not have been done anyway. When I was ready to resume the job, Oswaldo was furious with me, stating that he had to put the couches in storage and that cost him money. Astudillos had never once communicated to me that storage would be necessary during the hiatus. He was extremely nasty and berated me over the phone. I was so taken aback by his explosive demeanor that I still recall how stressed out and upset the conversation left me. Furthermore he demanded $325.00 in storage fees from me, in addition to what I owed him. Otherwise he was going to trash the Henredon couches in the street! There was no reasoning with him. He is like a live wire. He also stated the fabric had to be delivered within 10 days or he would throw out the couches. Of course, I had no choice but to pay the $325.00. When I originally signed on for him to do the job, I was told 20 yards of fabric were needed for the two love seats including eight pillows. However, later on when it was time to order the fabric, they told me I needed 24 yards. When I questioned this, they said I was mistaken and had to pay for 24 yards of fabric. A few weeks later, when the fabric arrived from Kravet, I went to his shop to approve the fabric. We opened the box together and much to my chagrin, it was the wrong shade! I was pretty upset but Oscar did not care because he was in a rush to finish the job. Due to the previous incident in which he bullied and intimadated me, I was not about to argue with him alone in his work place. So I told him I would approve the fabric only if he promised he would contact Kravet the following business day to address the discrepancy. He never called the fabric house, KRAVET; instead he told me HE CUT IT UP to start the job. When I called Kravet myself to discuss the wrong color fabric, customer service incidently told me my order was for 20 yards, not 24 which is what I paid for! Therefore Astudillos pocketed the cost of the extra 4 yards of fabric they never ordered! At $75.00 a yard plus tax, that came to another $325.00 plus tax. So add that to the $325 storage fee they sprung on me, that's at least an extra $650.00. The point here is that they led me to believe I was getting the fabric at cost but in actuality I was paying more by having more yardage ordered than is necessary. Luckily for me, Kravet and I also determined that the fabric had not been treated to be water repellent contrary to what the sample said. As a result, Kravet refunded me the total cost of the fabric via Astudillos. However,getting Astudillos to be a part of the transaction was another nightmare. They refused at first to accept the check and then issue me their own check. It took me months of back and forth emails and calls to finally get this resolved. Thank goodness for Kravet's reputable customer service and integrity. In addition, Astudillos also did a bait and switch on me regarding the delivery which was originally promised as included in the order. instead when the couches were ready, he stated I had to arrange for the delivery. We ended up splitting the cost of that but not after countless emails and lots of aggravation. His workmanship was medicocre at best, actually quite sloppy and certainly not very professional. At first the couches looked good but over time the fabric has started to buckle because evidently it wasn't pulled tautly enough. So if anyone is thinking of working with Astudillos, Caveat Emptor definitely applies to this business. In my case I never got what I ordered and I ended up paying additional fees that were not part of the original agreement. In addition, four of the eight pillows that accompanied the couches were lost. Replacing those will cost me a pretty penny too. Not to mention being subjected to Oswaldo's volatile temperament. Bottom line, make sure you get everything in writing from Astudillos and not on some flimsy 2x4 receipt. read more

I highly recommend this company. The quality of their work was excellent for office chairs we had reupholstered and repaired. Work was done efficiently and cost-effectively. Communication was available over phone and email which made things very simple. read more
