I wanted to reupholster my two matching chairs, they were well built but looking old. So I looked on Yelp to find a place. I am so glad I did! Cervantes was hands down the best one in Burbank so that is where I went. I went to his shop where he and his assistant were working away. Just like most upholstery shops it is a cluttered, so don't expect anything fancy. He had so many fabrics to choose from, I could have been there forever. Luckily I was able to narrow my choices down to two, he was working away while I was picking fabrics so I felt no pressure to pick. Once I narrowed it down he told me the prices after showing him pictures of the chairs. I told him I would think about it and would call him. He was is very calm and said that if I wanted to have him pick up the chairs and drop them off that is included in the price. After thinking about it I decided on a fabric and arranged pick up. He did not require a deposit and asked I pay him on delivery. He took 2 1/2 weeks to reupholster the chairs and I think they are beautiful. I am sitting in a chair right now as I write this review. They did such a great job! I would recommend them for reupholstery anytime! read more

I was referred to Alfred at Cervantes Custom Design, oddly enough by a competitor. They said he could do great work at a more affordable price, and they were right! I have a mid century solid oak dining room set, and the cushions in the chairs gave out recently. We wanted to keep the fabric untouched and replace the cushions and supports on all six chairs, which many upholstery repair shops said couldn't be done. Alfred looked at two photos over text, confirmed a timeline and price, and had the job done beautifully in 3-4 days. It was less than all the other quotes given to me, and he kept the fabric intact. He was easy to work with and helpful. I highly recommend his services to anyone and everyone. read more

I brought my old beat-up sewing machine chair to Alfred--after calling a few other upholsterers--and looking at his Yelp reviews. Wish I had taken a before picture--it was threadbare, with the wood showing through at the back. I picked it up this morning, and I'm so pleased that I had to write a review. He did such a beautiful job and added piping--and took just a few days to do it. I keep going to my sewing room to look at it. I cannot recommend Cervantes any higher than five stars--but I would!

I had to replace the foam on a couch cushion in order to revive my couch. Cervantes was an excellent choice. The price was very fair and he was very fast. It was also nice to be able to go to the store and chat with him in person. It was clear from the start that the knowledge and craft was top notch. He felt the original cushion once and instantly picked the correct density of foam. I would absolutely recommend Cervantes. read more

Absolute miracle worker. Our dog chewed a hole in our couch fabric and we started asking around with various upholstery places to see how/if it could be fixed. Two places told us that the damaged portion needed to be completely reupholstered, but we were worried about matching the fabric with the rest of the couch. If it was only slightly off, it would drive us crazy, and we didn't want to spend nearly a grand and still end up getting a new couch. Alfred came to our house, checked it out, and felt there was enough fabric extending under the cushions that he could use what was available. I don't know how he did it, because it looks like new and the fabric still extends under the cushions. We are beyond thrilled with the result. Will only go to Cervantes in the future. read more

I have avoided going to upholstery repair places fearing them to be more costly than buying a new poorly made item. Don't make my mistake. Go visit this guy. He charged me so little for such quality work. read more

I was referred to this tiny little whole-in-the-wall place in my hometown of Burbank for reupholstery. It was my dad who gave me the recommendation, and he's been DIYing houses since I was 5 years old...so I trust his judgement on this kind of stuff. The owner's name is Alfred and he SERIOUSLY knows what he's doing. I brought him some 80+ year old dining room chairs that needed a completely new look (I was sanding and re-staning) because the old pattern was, quite obviously, from the 50s...at least! He took our chosen material, padded it with super stiff padding (as requested, and did an absolutely MASTERFUL job (as you can see in the finished photo)! It was right at $200 for all 4 chairs, which put his prices just slightly less than average...but my god, I'm so happy we went with Alfred. I'll be coming back for years to come! read more

I work in film production, and I had to have a leather booth repaired in a diner where a show I worked on had filmed at, and caused the damage. The major issue which we faced was that this particular color had been discontinued by the manufacturer. Alfredo was able to find an original swath after doing some digging. The diner was pleased with the result. read more

I recently needed 4 chairs reupholstered because I didn't like the fabric that they came with them, so I purchased new fabric separately. I had never gotten anything reupholstered before, so I went to several different stores per my Yelp search, mostly all along Magnolia for quotes and tIme estimates. Cervantes was the cheapest, fastest, and easiest to work with. Gamino Decor down the street was rude and overpriced, and the owner of Elegant Designs was extremely busy and quoted me several weeks for the project completion. I even called Burbank Furniture Restoration and they referred me back to Cervantes, saying they were the best in the area. About a week later, my chairs were ready and I was extremely happy with the results. They even spray painted the legs for me in another color to really make it my own at no additional charge. Just keep in mInd, there is no "showroom", it's just a work space with fabric all over the place, but the quality speaks for itself. The owner is really caring and kind too. Tip: Cash or Check only. read more

My couch had a broken leg and called to see if they could fix it. They did better they fixed the one broken leg and made sure the others were stable. Hindered the price for the one leg. I would recommend them as they are honest and do good work. I will do business with them anytime I need any furniture repaired. read more

We recently had a large bench reupholstered and it turned out so beautifully I almost cried. The fabric was perfect. The tacks he used were perfect and highlighted the bench beautifully.

Alfredo and this place are the real deal. My Mom has an antique armchair that was about ready for the dump. Instead, I took it to Cervantes and they did a superb job reupholstering it. They were careful to match the period details (nails etc) and made it better than new. My Mom is delighted. I appreciated the honest communications, fair price, and quick service. The shop has a great vibe, too. read more

Beautiful craftsmanship and quick work. I brought my chair in a week ago to get reupholstered after calling and talking to the owner Alfred. They were closed when I arrived but the owner opened the door and still took my order. I also wanted the legs painted a different color. After Cleaning up the legs, I did not need them painted and Alfred gave me a discount!!! You don't see much of that anymore. I will definitely come back when I need my Couches done read more

Alfred is a Rockstar in the upholstery business! Beautiful job reupholstering our 2 wing-back recliner chairs. He used far less fabric than others told us we needed. He repaired the mechanism in the recliners, cushions are better than brand new, and what a really nice man! AND his price was below others we checked in with. read more

If you want a fancy looking place, this isn't for you. We were recommended to Alfred by a Furniture Re-finisher. At that time we already had 2 other proposals from well reviewed stores in our area. The proposal we got from Cervantes was competitive. But we chose him because it seemed that he was more a craftsman than a businessman. He may also be a great businessman, but he couldn't have been a better craftsman. They did 14 chairs for us. Restuffing 8 and completely Re-Uphostering 6. Beautiful work. Exactly the price he quoted. 10 days EARLY...and at holiday time. We will gladly use him again when we have the need. read more

Cervantes Custom Design - outdoor seat cushions; white vinyl with yellow piping - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - Burbank, California

I have a couch, arm chair and foot stool that was my Grandmother's it was cloth covered and well constructed, I believe it's an English country style with some nice wood detail. I wanted to show off the bottom detail of the couch by removing the bottom skirt, but my wife didn't want to see under the couch. So to compromise, I played around with the skirt until it showed off the wood detail but you could not see under the sofa or chair. I stopped by his shop and could see that he was busy and focused on his work. I looked at some leather samples and different types of cushions. After making an appointment, Mr. Cervantes stopped by my house with some leather samples and I showed him how I wanted the bottom skirt, although it was unusual he was accommodating and suggested how to make the skirt corners. I selected a brown Italian leather where you can see the grain lines and it's nearly 1/8 of an inch thick. We also selected the type of foam and thickness for the cushions and the stiffness of the back. Working with fairly thick leather is difficult and the leather itself is somewhat expensive. He gave me a good price and did a great job. It's now an amazing couch and chair that catches your attention and is an asset to our home. If you are thinking about reupholstering a nice piece of furniture Mr. Cervantes would be a good choice. read more

I couldn't be happier with the service and the results. Our sofa's exterior was literally falling apart but it was still perfectly fine on the inside. Getting it reupholstered seemed like the best option (other than buying a new, identical version). It took two weeks but it was so worth waiting for. The material and the color are great and especially treated to withstand toddlers. Highly recommend. read more

Just had a footstool redone with fabric I already had. They did a superb job! I highly recommend them. I would return again. But the reason for only a four star rating: I had to make 2 trips to pick up the footstool. Very inconvenient. They hadn't told me, nor is it mentioned in their ads, that they don't take credit cards! I don't carry large sums of cash with me nor my checkbook all the time. So be prepared to pay check or cash or waste time making an extra trip to get your things. read more

I needed a zipper fixed on a giant beanbag cover I had. I called around and nobody wanted to waste the time with it, but the guys here were great and told me to bring it in.

When I have a bigger project that needs done I will def be taking my business to them, they did a great job and were very friendly. read more

They did a great job on my old chair. It's like new!!!

I am sorry to say that this is the last place you want to bring your business to. Alfred changed his quoted price and lead time and never called me. I had to drive back to pick up my sofa/chair seating and back cushions and 8 yards of materials because I had to bring my business somewhere else. Very disappointed because my mother in law had a good experience with him and I was so ready to be another happy customer. Shame. read more
