Ages ago I'd used Harvey's Upholstery on Chilliwack and had been happy, so gave a great review. Seems I Cannot update that on his site so doing so here. Over a year ago I took him a sofa and two chaise lounges cushions to recover. I finally had to cancel the sofa job because he would not get to it after 8 months sitting there waiting to be done. He had personal issues with an ailing wife so i cut him a lot of slack. The chaise cushions i could wait for til spring this year for so thought all was good. When i picked them today finally, he added $100.00 to his quote for them , I'd supplied to his agreement, new foam for them at a cost of $225.00 He reused old foam and KEPT the new pieces intended for them. This I discovered once home thinking that foam seems flattened like the old stuff was, IT WAS THE OLD STUFF! He said nothing & cheerfully kept the new foam plus the extra $100 and not even a thankyou for being so patient in waiting for the job to be done. He's dishonest, use at your own risk read more

I dropped off 2 cushions to be reupholstered late Oct. small job, worth around $300 to them. When you enter, there is nobody upfront. There's a very strong cigarette smell that greets you as you enter that reminds me of days long past when many people used to smoke indoors. I should have taken that as a sign that this experience wasn't going to go well but I pressed on. I was, eventually, by an employee there, told it would take 3-4 weeks total to get the work done, left the cushions, along with a deposit. The project waited. I didn't want to call and check in or bother them, most people don't like that. At the 7 week mark, I was in the neighbourhood, stopped by. Nothing touched. Cushions staring at me exactly where I left them. I asked the same guy, what happened? "We've been busy" -him "Do you own a phone"-me He had a fair bit of trouble finding my invoice even though I had a pic of it on my phone to reference the deposit and it's existance. I took the cushions back and paid for the fabric which I now possess. The search for a reputable upholsterer continues. Nice to leave 1954 behind as I left. The smoke, brutal paperwork and ignorant customer service reminds one of days long gone, except at this business. I don't recommend this business. I think the above review explains why. Disappointed. read more

I've never written a negative review before, and it makes me sad to do it. Harvey is a good upholstery man, however it took 3 months to get 4 bar stools recovered, but even worse then that I'm pretty sure I got the fabric he had on hand and not the one I ordered. To make matters worse one of the stools is not mine but belongs to someone else because it has less padding and the felt pads on the bottom are not the same. He denies they somehow got switched, and says its the fabric I choose, so nothing left to do. He's good, but mark your item and be darn sure about your fabric, plus be prepard to wait!! read more

I had my dining room chairs done. Great customer service and the chairs look fantastic!! Very happy customer. (if nobody is out front when you arrive, don't just ring the bell and wait, they can't hear you in the back. Just pop around back and let them know you are there). read more

We certainly didn't experience what the above poster did. We had 6 dining room seat cushions replaced as the original leather had worn out and was badly cracked. Harv showed us samples of leather we could choose from and ordered a hide that would be enough to cover all 6 chairs. We took the chairs in two at a time as his shop is overflowing with work, he promised the chairs back within a week but called two days later to say the first two were done - wow. The other four chairs we done just as quickly. The chairs look great, are comfortable again and the price was reasonable. I would highly recommend. read more

Harvey's work is wonderful. He upholstered a Victorian love seat and a small wing back chair for us. He loves his work and it shows.
