I brought in 3 bar stool cushions and I cannot believe how perfect and beautiful they turned out! The material we picked was perfect and the quality of work is amazing! The price was competitive but much better than other folks. I will never go anywhere else for this service! read more

Dana did amazing work at a very fair price. He also finished the job earlier than he had promised. I would highly recommend Dana!

What an amazing experience. We brought our chair seats to have new padding and fabric. He was able to do all 6 seats in one day even though he had to cut new wood for seat. He did a fabulous job and was very reasonable. I highly recommend DS Custom Design & Upholstery! read more

Wow, what an amazing experience! Dana (owner) is extremely accommodating and really has an eye for fabrics and colors. He is very passionate about his craft, and makes you excited about your renewed furniture. At first when we walked in, we weren't even sure exactly what we wanted. But after 15min with Dana, we couldn't wait for the finished product. And we didn't have to wait long! Our 8x dining room chair seats were reupholstered with a gorgeous new fabric and extremely thick padding in 3x days. Clearly our chairs will now last another 20yrs! And the pricing was outstanding as well. Before you go out and buy new furniture, or attempt to reupholster on your own, definitely give Dana a chance to wow you. He definitely wowed us. Thanks Dana!! read more

I needed the cushions from two office chairs restuffed. I checked pricing online to try to do it myself and was shocked by the cost of the material. I'd used DS before and was happy with their work so, at lunch, I dropped the cushions off. The owner greeted me as soon as I walked in and took a look at the cushions. He quoted me an amount which was just a little more than if I had done it myself. They do want a deposit of 50% upfront. Without cash, there is a 7-11 in the plaza with an (expensive) ATM, but I got the cash and paid the deposit. So, it was about 11:45 AM and he asked if I could pick them up by 4 PM the same day. I didn't expect I could get there so early so told him I'd be back the next afternoon. The day passed and I was ready to leave my office by 5:30. I checked Yelp and saw he was open until 6 PM so headed right over. But I picked the day he closed early. At lunch the next day I went to get the cushions. He showed me his work saying he put the right amount in (2 inches), but it looked like he could do better so he added an extra inch at no extra charge. The cushions are now back in my office, firm and comfortable. He really does great work. read more

Dana truly loves what he's doing and is really good at it. I took an old, tired, lumpy chair in to be reupholstered, he helped us pick out fabric, and assured us the result would be beautiful when he was done. He wasn't kidding. The chair was pretty much rebuilt except for the wood frame, looks great, and is extremely comfortable. He was just as excited to show us the result as we were to take it home. read more

Dana is the eccentric owner of this odd little shop, tucked away in a corner-ish location in the Park Place Shopping Center at the NE corner of Thorntree Lane and Algonquin Road. But make no mistake, he can do miracles with your recoverings! He is a chair whisperer and the very extensive rolls of material he has piled everywhere in his very claustrophobic once-upon-a-time showroom are augmented by some very extensive catalogues that can produce just about any look and quality that you want. I have worked with this guy several times now, over the years, and he has never disappointed me once. He is good with deadlines and the dates he gives out seem to be dependable deadlines and as word continues to get out, because of his good quality, he's going to be busier and busier so make sure you get your orders in quick. He's got a boisterous, humorous demeanor that becomes very endearing once you realize that he's a very nice man who's trying to do the best that he can . . . and it has worked out just great for me, quite a few times now. I highly recommend him! read more

I took my hassock and two cushions from my Smith Brother's couch to D S Custom Design & Upholstery and Dana was very helpful. He gave my quote to reupholster the couch and two hassocks during my visit. My wife and I will revisit D S Custom Design & Upholstery to look at more sample books re: the sample fabric books that Dana has available. Depending on fabric available to D S Custom Design & Upholstery we will make the decision whether or not to use D S Custom Design & Upholstery for the reupholstery of the couch and two hassocks. read more

Dana is the best. Highly recommend! Quality work at a fair price. We received numerous quotes before upholstering our chairs and Dana was the easy choice. read more

He totally brought my chair back to life!!! He added the suede life fabric and replaced the padding. Thank you DS Custom for care of my chair! I will definitely be using your service again:) read more

I found this little upholstery shop on yelp. I am so happy I decided to bring my dining room chairs in for reupholstering here. I bought the set in the 80's from Scandinavian Design. Dana, the owner, knew exactly the quality of my chairs. His shop was very unassuming and small. He had books of patterns for me to go through. I know I got a good deal. Dana was a character in a very good way. Incredibly likable and the quality of his and his wife's work was A% read more

I'm officially a HUGE fan of D&S. I bought a gently used dining room table and chairs on Craigslist and they redid the seat cushions. New plywood, industrial cushion and upholstery! I am THRILLED. Oh and the turnaround was just a few business days! I'm entertaining tonight! read more

Had our dining room chairs reupholstered at DS. Dana provided input and guidance on the project and when completed, the finished chairs were better than the original. Dana has performed outstanding work. The chairs are part of a dining set from John M Smythe about 25yrs old and had silk brocade which years and grandkids wore out. We expect Dana's work to last that and longer. I highly recommend DS for cost value and looks. I'm having the bar table chairs redone now. read more

My couch was eating our guests! While I liked our style and fabric, the foam cushions needed to be replaced. Dana fixed our problem in one day. My couch is better than new. I didn't want to wait 6-12 months to purchase new furniture, and I didn't want to have quality furniture put in a landfill. I believed that my furniture was better quality than what many stores make available these days. Dana solved our problem, and we no longer sink into our furniture. He is a helpful, cheerful guy who is easy to work with. read more

Dana did an excellent job reupholstering my kitchen chairs. He picked them up at my house and delivered them. It took a little more than a week. I love the fabric and Dana also put new padding in as well as a completely new wooden base. I would highly recommend his services. read more

Dana did an amazing job on my sofa cushions. My couch almost looks brand new without those bedraggled cushions. He helped get them out and into my car, which I so appreciated. And they were done on the day he said. I highly recommend DS upholstery and will be using his services again soon. read more

I brought my sectional sofa to be reupholstered and new cushions made. I dropped off a section of the sectional part of the sofa and all the cushions. I told them that the back cushions collapse and want that corrected. I picked up the new cushions and within a year they are worse than ever. He now tells me me he should have made it taller but i will have to pay for new cushions. I paid $1700 and he will not stand behind his work. I would not ever bring anything to that place again. Owner will blame you for his mistakes. read more

DS reupholstered the seats on six of our dining room chairs. The chairs are 25 years old and their seats were not correctly supported by the original furniture maker, causing them to sink in over the years. In one week's time-- only a few weeks before Thanksgiving, nonetheless--this company completely and beautifully revived the seat cushions by adding wood supports and new cushioning that makes them better than when first purchased. They are skilled and talented craftsmen who do careful and professional work. Their little shop appears cluttered when you walk in, but it's only because they're so busy. Highly recommend. read more

They did my old kitchen chairs a couple of years ago and did a beautiful job !! Very nice folks and very helpful !
