This is the second time I had Aby reupholster the same bench. We recently made some upgrades to our…read morebedroom, so the bench needed a refresh as well. Aby did such a great job the first time, we didn't hesitate for her to do it again. I sent her a few inspiration pictures, and when I went to pick out fabric, she already had narrowed down the samples for us, which streamlined the selection process. A few weeks later Aby let us know our bench was ready. It was exactly what I wanted, and the fabric had the perfect texture and color. I'm sure I could have bought a new bench for the price of the reupholstering, but I don't think I can find one that's custom made exactly as I want.

This review is long overdue. I had Aby reupholster my grandmother's wingback chair (sorry I don't…read morehave before pics), which needed a major overhaul with spring work, all new foam, refurbishing of the wood, etc. Aby and her staff were great. They took ample time to help me decide on the right fabric for me, and they did a beautiful job withe the chair. The service was professional, as requested, and a very reasonable turnaround time (just a few weeks). I'm so happy with my chair and highly recommend Aby's Upholstery!

If you want to do one piece at a time, that is fine! But best to buy all the upholstery fabric at once as different bolts of fabric can come out slightly different shades.

Boris provided amazingly detailed consultation on the process he'd use to replace the right arm rest's broken shock mounts, but also disassemble the chair to examine if other portions may have been overly stressed such as the rear shock mounts. He also gave advise on the proper way to lift and transport the chair, the best ways to sit on and then exit the chair, and recommended the best leather cleaner conditioner for us to order. He estimated the number of days it would take to repair our 1975 Eames chair and was right on the dot! It is easy to tell that Boris is a true craftsman when it come to these Eames chairs!

No words can fully express what a MASTER furniture restorer Boris is. I had an antique dresser that…read moreI bought 40 years ago. It wasn't in the greatest shape. And I admit, I put a lot of wear and tear on it as well. The finish had many water stains, scratches, and dents but what was worse - the drawers inside were unusable. I couldn't get them open or closed. But in January 2024, I used Lugg to haul it to Boris and he transformed it into magnificence. Unbelievable. Beautiful. Fast forward to this fall, I had an antique desk that I'd picked up off the street about 20 years ago. Its finish was so bad, I just painted some ugly red marble finish over it. Many coats. Then I put glass over the top. I had it like that for 20 years. It wasn't ok, but first the glass cracked and when I tried to remove it, it stuck to the paint and wrecked the surface. Plus being near a window, there was much sun damage. So I took it to Boris and he worked his magic, restoring it to its original walnut finish. I simply cannot believe how beautiful it is. I had no idea it's wood was so nice, So in conclusion, YES, I highly recommend this business. Be willing to wait 4-6 weeks, buts what you will get back is really something to treasure. Thank you Boris!

We had our dining set and chairs for over ten years and we love the design of our chairs. It was hard thinking about trying to replace them until we decided that the issue is the cushions. Due to normal wear and tear, our cushions started to sink and we felt like there was a hole in our chairs (basically sitting on the toilet type of feeling) which is not nice if you want to eat your meal. We decided to look for help in upholstery (looked at it as DIY and with lots of YouTube-this did not last long as we decided it was too complicated).

I had a Chippendale chair with a broken seat base that needed to be replaced, but wanted to keep the fabric. Most places weren't interested in fixing something 'so small'.. So, I got on Yelp and decided to use their AI Assistant to find someone who could help. The responses came faster than I could have anticipated. The first one was from Leo at Leo's Upholstery. This was a business I was already considering, being somewhat close after 2 in Oakland. Leo's reviews are what sold me, outside of how responsive Leo was to my inquiry. I dropped off the chair, had a great chat with Leo about the chair, what we had done with it and other topics. He said it would be ready by Monday or Tuesday. I receive a text early on Tuesday morning, letting me know the chair was ready. We arranged a time and I came to get the chair. It was as promised. It's fixed (after many months of being damaged), it looks great, feels solid and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Leo will be my Go-To Furniture repair going forward.

It had sentimental value, so we wanted to get it reupholstered, rather than replace it. We reached out to Leo, and he was very responsive right from the beginning.

The process was very easy. And the finished chair is stunning! The craftsmanship, experience, and attention to detail by Leo Sr. is unmatched. It is much nicer than it was when we bought it new, and it is also much more comfortable. If you need something reupholstered, we can't recommend Leo's Upholstery highly enough!
