    Before

    If you want old world craftmanship and old school service, call Mike Shannon at East Meadow Upholsters. My old dining room chairs (circa 1990s) were in bad shape with a few rips and flattened seats. I really noticed these issues after using the chairs for long periods of time during dragged-out Zoom meetings. At first I thought of replacing them, but only found cheaply made imported chairs that were not to my taste. Besides I always prefer to refurbish my vintage stuff rather than replace it if I can. In addition to their excellent reviews, I remembered that East Meadow Upholsters had done work for my Mom many years ago and she was very happy with them. So I filled out a short online form on their website and attached pics of my old chairs; Mike replied with a reasonable quote the same day. I opted to get my own material and Mike picked up my chairs a few days later with a promised finish date of 2 weeks. So I was pleasantly surprised when Mike finished the job in about a week! My chairs look brand new with nice firm cushions. Very good experience with East Meadow Upholsterers.

    Old crusty seat

    Tried several shops to get the cushion on my 1960s chair recovered. Mike was the only one who replied! (And the shop has been there since the 1950s so there was confidence in them knowing what they're doing.) The price was reasonable (and so much cheaper than trying to buy a new solid walnut chair). He was able to use the original steel springs & wood frame. The new vinyl is almost identical to the old crusty 1960s vinyl. The only thing he couldn't do was use solid latex foam as in the original (or maybe he could be the cost would've been too high). Anyway, it looks amazing. Before/after pics below!

    They did incredible work -- in less than 24 hours, they brought my "kitchen nook" chair back to better than new. See before and after photos. I highly recommend them.

    New seat cushion!

    6 of my barstools needed new cushions so I called several upholstery places and went with these folks based on 1) the reviews on yelp and google 2) speed of communication both on email and phone 3) pictures of their work I saw. I also appreciated the quote they gave me upfront which I thought was fair. The other upholstery shops did not communicate well and were tardy in responding. I had to make an appointment to come in because the shop is small. The owner who I communicated with had a mask on and were following safety protocols. I'm pretty easy to please and found a vinyl sample I liked right away. The job got done in 3 work days and they did a great job as you can see from the before and after photos. Nice to work with such pleasant and efficient people who do a good job. Please support your local businesses - especially when they provide reasonable rates and high quality work.

    Chair done well any affordable prices to boot

    Nice guy who sounds professional but is a nut. He quoted $3k for a job I got done for $1k down the block. Crazy person who hands you a massive bill and says your welcome to get ripped off by me if you want I can't respond to his post but he calls himself an artist? Give me a break! The Spanish guys did a great job for 1/3 of the price. He probably voted for Trump! This is why America is in trouble because of "artists" like him.

    Dining room valance,, and seat cushions to chairs.  Excellent workmanship.
    Valerie P.

    They padded and covered two valances - one for living room and one for dining room. They also recovered and padded 4 dining room chairs. My fabric was purchased through Stickley Furniture, and Mike discussed measurements and details with them to ensure I ordered the right amount of fabric. The work he did on the chairs was so much better than when I originally brought them. His prices were great and the work was completed very quickly. I'm in love with the work he did and highly recommend them.

    Kitchen benches

    Awesome! Mike is a pleasure to work with. He is both knowledgeable and nice. I had two custom kitchen bench seats that needed reupholstering. Not only did he complete the job quickly, his workmanship is excellent.

    Here is a photo of the sofa that East Meadow Upholsterers fixed for us. Damn fine job!

    The strapping in our 1960's danish modern couch was falling apart so I shopped around for a local upholsterer. East Meadow Upholsterers ended up having the best price and they provided pickup and delivery. They replaced the straps with identical (but clearly better) looking straps then added an additional pad over the top. It looks so good and it is even more comfortable now than ever before! Great service, great quality, and the best price in town! I will absolutely return to have other pieces repaired there in the future.

    I guess you reconsider and edited your first response. What was it that bothered you? The FACT that you told me to be AFRAID, or the fact that the story is not completely truthful. Yes, you did hand my wife fabric samples to make her selection, charged us $40 for the fabric shipping (you told my wife that is what they charge you, so we have to pay it), then explained to her that the bottom fabric was in PERFECT condition, therefore it did not have to be replaced. You went on to say, that you only had to redo the top and the sides. The underside fabric (all original, with NO DAMAGE), and with the strapping that holds it to the piece of furniture we have, could be re-used. When I came to pick it up, I noticed that there was a hole, which was clearly done by the tips/point of a scissor. When I brought it to your attention, you kindly glued it, because as you said, that is the only thing that could stop it from fraying and sent me on my way. I too can attach original photos of the cushion and the damaged that was caused by an animal, all correct. I too can attach photos that will include the UNDAMAGED underside. So technically, you charged me $300 to re-cover the top and 4 sides of a rectangular pillow. Should I be questioning the fact that 2 yards of fabric that you charged me was necessary. When you said I would need 2 yards of fabric, it was to cover the entire cushion (top, sides and bottom). We can go back and forth if you would like, but let's not lose focus or that fact that I was a customer, that ultimately did not like the end product that I paid for, nor the way I was treated when bringing to your attention the cut/damage you caused to the bottom of the cushion. Customers have the right to express both excellent reviews and NOT so excellent reviews. This happens to be one of the not so excellent reviews. I wish you nothing but the best for the future.

    We've had several items refurbished here and haven't been disappointed. Mike and his staff are true craftsmen and the work shows!
