Don't go here. High prices, sloppy quality, bad service. We need a good resource like this in the East Bay;  this is not it. I never review anyone with a zero, but these folk worked hard to earn it. I was quoted $271 when the competition only wanted $190, but stupidly went with it because they were referred and i was already there. They showed me a stapler for $80. I found it for less than half elsewhere. I was told Friday, maybe Monday. Monday, no call, I called them. I was told Tuesday "for sure" Same thing happened Tuesday. Finally got the work on Wednesay. Again, I had to call, they never did. They also did not offer an apology for being 3 days late and not calling. Add insult to injury, the stapling job was sloppy quality.  It missed the right place about 1/3rd of the time and many staples were not flush.  I would have complained, but found it better to pay and leave, never to come back. Since I first wrote this I have one more serious complaint to add.  The first time the seat got wet, the cheap thread that they used gave way and it came unstitched. I hope that they either clean up their act or leave the business.  Unfortunately other people are probably being victimized because they are not warned away. read more

I have been looking to fix a car seat that with tears and the foam padding started to be unpleasant but couldn't find the right foam for it. So when I found this place and called they were quick to help. Stopped by and had the foam I needed within 10 minutes of talking to the guy there. Oh if you're coming here you need to enter on Waller or whatever the name of the street right off of it is called. Not in high St read more

I'm so happy someone recommended this place to me. I have just started doing upholstery as a hobby and they are so reasonable and so nice. I was looking for supplies online but everything was much more expensive, plus I didn't want a huge supply or have to wait two weeks for it to arrive. They do sell to professionals in bulk but they are happy to sell smaller amounts to hobbyists. It's not a store that you walk around. You go to the counter and tell them what you need and they bring it to you, so it's also a time saver. I don't know everything that they carry, but I will check with them first before I look anywhere else. I wish all shopping was this easy. read more

Another fantastic job by Tony at BayTrim Upholstery. This was an Eames chair that I had since college and needed new seat and back upholstered. I couldn't be more excited about restoring this piece of my history. Thanks again Tony!!! read more

We just had 3 foam couch cushions replaced here, and I just wanted to give them a shout-out, as a lot of their reviews are older. Tony and his staff are courteous and they are knowledgeable. Their prices are fair, the turnaround time was very decent, and the results exceeded our expectations. They even saved the old batting for us so that we can use it for supplementing the back cushions. They actually improved the cushions from the Macy's originals, because they knew exactly how many inches of foam would be comfortable without being overly firm. Do not hesitate to use them! read more

I was looking forward to working with an independent local business for boat foam. Original timeline I was given was 1-2 days, a week later 1-2 days...Ultimately a month later after advance payment I came to pick up order he was actively working on. I was patient for my order because of the good price but he messed up the last foam for my order, offered no resolve, gave refund and refused to fix my order. If you want timely service and a quality job I don't recommend this business sadly. read more

Tony is an absolute sweetheart--one of those people who emanates warmth and honesty. This place is the cheapest upholstery place in the area by far! Give them a call for a quote if you need a job done. I did a DIY project of reupholstering a knock-off Eames Lounge Chair. I called five different places to get quotes, and the cheapest I got was about $650 for labor alone. Tony gave me a quote for $550, labor and materials included. WHOA what a deal! But since that's still a lot of money for me (sadly, haha), I decided to try reupholstering on my own. I felt really bad telling Tony that I couldn't afford his amazing deal, but Tony was utterly gracious about it. He helped me pick out the vinyl, gave me a deal on the yardage, custom made buttons (for only $1.25 a button! incredible price, as these things normally cost $5/button at least), and gave me so much advice about the type of needle and threat that I will need, about how to reuse my welting cord, etc. He never once tried to push any product on me. He is just utterly genuine and helpful. Bay Area Burners: There are a lot of bright colored vinyl there (bright pink, green, etc.) for your creative projects! The place has a weird location: If you google search the address, it will take you to a large furniture store (fun place to browse). A little beyond the furniture place is a driveway to the parking lot for bunch of businesses in the lot. Go there, park your car about halfway down. You should see a sign for the business there. Walk into what looks like a garage, and you shall find "the man" (yes, Tony) there. Happy Upholstering! read more

I found this place on accident, so glad I did. I'm a projects type of guy, I love working with my hands, and fixing things. I was looking for different types of vinyls at the local fabric store, but was coming up short. Figured I'd do a quick Yelp search for upholstery, and started the calls. Not only was this place the only one who had what I wanted in stock, but they were way cheaper than everyone else. (figured out why later). After stopping down there, I also found that they sold a few other items I needed, AND on certain occasions even do the work. Long story short, I have some BEAUTIFUL newly upholstered seats in my truck, and a new supplier for all my projects. Oh yeah, my guess for why their prices are so cheap is probably because of low overhead. They have a semi-difficult to get to location, that's really just a warehouse by the tracks, but hey, I don't care, I'm not trying to move into the place. I'm glad they're there! I think anywhere else and they'd have to raise the prices to cover the cost. GREAT customer service! AMAZING prices! Customer for life! read more

These guys are very professional and willing to work with me, a new upholstery enthusiast, to get the right product for my job. The quality of the bonded Dacron I purchased at Bay Trim was clearly superior to what I'd bought online in the past. They're a little far for me but worth the drive. read more

Friendly service with just what I needed. I wanted to fix a seam on my convertible top and they had heavy Guage needle and thread that did the trick! I was even able to get a bobbin so I didn't have to buy a crazy length of thread for my tiny job. read more

I've been coming to Baytrim for years now, it's where I get all my supplies. They are extremely knowledgeable and answer any questions that I have truthfully. All my experiences here have been great! They have all the supplies you need to do upholstery. They even cut foam for my cushions! Baytrim has a bigger location next-door in the same building! It's huge! read more

I can't say enough great things about BayTrim Upholstery! 10 stars! I had some bar stools I'd been meaning to recover and once I got them back they looked amazing. Tony did a wonderful job and he was even kind enough to repair on of the stools that broke while dropping them off. Super easy to work with and fast! I'm now looking around my house to see what else I can have them recover). Thanks for the great work! read more

Tony is awesome! I had an L shaped couch with an Ottoman under the L portion. The L shape was cuter in the store than it was in my family room. My idea was to separate the long cushion over the ottoman to make the couch and ottoman into two pieces. I didn't really have enough fabric once we split the cushion into two pieces to cover all the sides. He asked me if I had any matching pillows he could use the fabric from. I did and the magician made it all look like the couch was made that way. Good price @ about $200 and super fast! Would definitely recommend. Location is in a warehouse next to some tracks. Shop is down in the middle of building. read more

This place gives you your money's worth. I looked at vinyl at JoAnn Fabric and a similar vinyl was $35/yd. I got a lovely antiqued brown for $15/yd, a bag of 100 decorative nails for $8, 2 bobbins of thread for $2, and a tavk hammer for $15. Not only were the prices reasonable, Tony gave me his card and offered to answer any questions I might have once I get started. I'm definitely going back for the prices, products, and the customer service. Good job! read more

I am an interior designer and was very impressed with the re-upholstering job BayTrim did on my old sofa. - The workmanship was impeccable. Tony was very professional and accommodating, unlike some of the other people I dealt with when getting quotes. The estimate was 3 weeks to get my sofa done but they delivered it to me in less than 1 week. I was so pleased with their work that I decided to have them make additional pillows with the remaining fabric. I highly recommend BayTrim Upholstery. read more

Bay City reupholstered my massage chairs and my massage table and did a fabulous job I was so impressed with the workmanship and quality of service I received. I will post before and after pictures at a later time. They Picked up my very heavy massage chair and table and delivered it back to me in a very timely manner. All my pieces looks so beautiful! They look better than when I purchased them new because they used a very top quality leather. Thank you Bay City! Tony and Raul, you guys are the best I can't wait to see the Ottoman when I return from my vacation. read more

Super friendly and not pretentious and the price was perfect. I bought my own material with Tony's advice on how much to get. 4 danish dining room chairs, done and done well! Looks great! done in exactly the time he said they would get done. read more

This place is fantastic! We recently had two dining chairs that were in dire need of reupholstery. We found these chairs on the streets in San Francisco 15 years ago and reupholstered it ourselves. The chairs had gotten dirty and stained and were no longer comfortable to sit on. After some research, I met with Tony and he examined the chairs and explained what he would do. I was especially impressed when he noticed the tricky corners on the chairs and decided that they would need some edging to give it a finished look. After a week, we got the chairs back- cushioned and stylish and beautiful! It really looks fantastic in our house AND it's a pleasure to sit on too! We are so impressed that we have already lined up 2 more pieces of furniture that will get reupholstered at Bay Trim. I forgot to mention that besides the quality of work, the prices are reasonable too! read more

Bay Trim Upholstery Supply is awesome! Tony helped me get the foam I needed for some new cushions on my favorite couch. He couldn't have been more professional and helpful. The prices were very competitive as well. I live in Alameda, and they are just right across the high street bridge. I would definitely recommend Bay Trim Upholstery! read more

Tony did a nice job upholstering my cushions but I would be happier if the final cost wasn't 30% higher than his estimate.

Great quality work and above and beyond level of customer service! Cannot recommend this business highly enough!

Thanks, Yelpers for steering me here. I just got the foam replaced for my two most- used couch cushions. Great service, fair price! Love supporting nice local businesses like this. read more

Thanks, Tony, for the excellent work on re-upholstering my dining chairs. $105 per chair for seat and back re-uphostering, and he added foam to the seats. I brought my own fabric. Work completed in a week. Chairs look like new. read more

I love this place! I call to ask questions because I'm working on my couch and Tony is extremely helpful. I go to his shop to get all my supplies. I'll be going back soon for the foam padding. read more

This is long overdue. Tony is quite simply, the best. First, he is responsive. Second, he is easy to work with. Then: He did my Grandmother's sofa and club chair (from the 1933 Chicago World's Fair) which meant a lot to me - and was being reupholstered for the second time. He took great care of them - and they look fantastic! I had paid about the same for reupholstery in the early 80's - a truly similar price all these years later! He really took care with my wing chair also - and my friends who have seen the three pieces over the past 40+ years were astounded. Then he did my 93 year old Mother's wing chair. It was perfect too! Everything is so comfortable, looks great, was a good price for the amount of custom work that was done - I cannot be more pleased. I highly recommend this wonderful vendor! I mean that. read more

The cushions on our vintage mid-century couch were seriously worn out. Bay Trim did a great job replacing the stuffing with eco-friendly foam that's super comfortable. Tony and his team are super friendly, knowledgeable, and did the job quickly at a good price. read more

After contacting a number of East Bay upholsterers, and emailing around numerous photos to get rough estimates, we were very fortunate to arrive in Tony's upholstery shop! As we were soon to find out, Tony, et. al. at Bay Trim do outstanding work. Tony is pleasant, experienced and easy to work with. Our project involved reupholstering 10 waiting room chairs and also recovering a window seat cushion. Tony was extremely helpful in guiding us to consider fabrics that would meet our needs for a pleasant upgrade that matched existing walls and carpeting, durability and economy. We borrowed a fabric sample book, made our selections, and phoned in our finalists to be ordered. Tony then provided time and cost estimates, including pick-up and delivery. We were able to schedule the work in two visits so that our visitors would have some chairs to sit on during the refurbishment. Once the shop had the chairs, the project was completed on time within about two weeks, and the original estimate was within range of the final cost. Bay Trim's reupholstery work is just beautiful, the costs are very reasonable, and we are extremely pleased with the final results! read more

I had an office chair which needed to be reupholstered. I called many many different upholstery companies and Tony at Bay City Upholstery Supply was the most patient and knowledgeable. My chair looks great and I'm very glad to have worked with Tony. I have another chair which is not that they're very comfortable and I'm going to see if Tony can make some modifications. Also, they are right off the 880 freeway on High Street. If you never need upholstery work or fabric this is the place to go. read more
