I will never know…read more So I am new to Boston and have some valuable-to-us oriental rugs that need cleaning and am investigating different companies as I'd like to know more about the range of prices and cleaning/treating methods and need to pick one to go with going forward. The person I spoke with on the phone said that he couldn't give an estimate without seeing the rug and offered to come to our home to give an estimate it at no charge. To be fair to him, I told him that I was collecting information from several companies (due diligence), and I wanted to give full disclosure about that. He was apparently upset and questioned me why I would call him if I had other estimates in line and said his client base was loyal for 44 years and wished me luck. So no service unless I commit beforehand or lead him on dishonestly.

I wish I could give them a thousand stars…read more Probably 40 years ago, my grandmother gave me a chair that had been in her home forever. I loved it, and had it in my apartment for years. My cats destroyed the fabric, and the chair moved to the basement, where it remained until we moved to a new house about a month ago. I almost threw the chair out, but couldn't bear the thought of parting with it. So I contacted Vinny at Miro Upholstery, and he couldn't have been nicer. I went to the store to pick out a fabric, and Vinny suggested that I take some fabric books home. He gave me several books, my husband and I went through them and selected one. Miro picked up the chair and the fabric books, and today, about a month later, the chair was delivered. It is more beautiful than I could have imagined. New foam, new fabric, they touched up the wood - it's an antique chair that looks brand new. I'm completely thrilled. This was an excellent experience, and I would highly recommend Miro Upholstery.

Our large sectional couch was begging to sag and we thought about replacing it, but it was very…read moreexpensive so we hoped Miro might be able to fix it. I love his "old school" vibe--he comes personally to your house to inspect the furniture and tell you what is and isn't possible. He promised to get our cushions back to perfect firmness and was true to his word. The couch feels like it's brand new! And kudos to his crew who moved that beast in and out without leaving a scratch!

How lucky are we to have this fabulous family owned business near our home!…read moreOur first project with them was to recover all our dining room chairs. We brought photos of the room, the rug, etc...and they were so helpful in choosing a fabric that brightened up the room! Our second recent project was an 1800's Victorian Corner Chair that was in the attic for years. I emailed Barry photos and he emailed right back with suggestions (to not refinish the wood as to keep the original patina) and a quote. We brought in the chair and Toni brought out various samples to choose from. The orignial silk was a teal/blue and she assisted us in finding a beautiful fabric. The chair was polished and looks just gorgeous. This family has the knowledge, the eye and the professionalism you need! And they are very responsive and super friendly. Before and after photos of both projects are below. BTW the photos don't do them justice. We are anticipating another project...soon! Thank you to Barry, Toni and the entire family!

They picked up rugs from 2 locations, cleaned them like new and delivered them to our new house in Lexington. Then we had Levon find us a stair runner. The manufacturer had switched patterns and Levon helped us find a great substitute. When it was ready he came into our house and, while observing the pandemic safety precautions, beautifully installed our new runner making us and our 2 little dogs very happy. No more slipping down the newly finished wood. And this past week he found us the perfect transitional hall rug that ties everything together. I don't often write reviews but Brookline Oriental deserves every star.

I'll use them again in the future.
