Ben reupholstered a mid-century Poul Jensen Z sofa and Z chair for us. He does great work, his prices are good and he finished earlier than promised. If you live in PG or Monterey it's a short drive, he's much less expensive and the quality is just as good. read more

Herrera's Upholstery - Mid-century sofa - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - Salinas, California

Ok so I bought 6 used chairs. I cut them to be the right height for a table I have and I threw 2 chairs away because I did not have enough space to keep them. So then I was left with 4 chairs. I bought really nice material and foam and fabric scissors and a fabric nail gun and I went to work. I took off the seat pad and stripped off the fabric and threw away the old foam. I bought new foam and cut the new material and tried to re-upholster is myself. I finished and I just stared at it for about half an hour. I mean it would work but it was wrong. I don't know how else to say it other than it was wrong. The shape was wrong. The cloth was loose. I was so disheartened but I also did not have money to get it professionally done.....or so I thought. My grandmother had her couch re-upholstered professionally somewhere else and it cost her over $4,000 so I am expecting 4 chairs could be like $1,000 maybe. I didn't know what it would cost but I was expecting it to cost a lot. After 6 months of barely using the chairs and just staring at them I finally requested a quote on Yelp from Herrera's Upholstry. Ben got back to me right away and his quote was really low....like i was not sure if he was quoting me just for labor or something. I was a little confused. Anyways my wife dropped off the chairs and picked them up and he kept the price as what he said. My wife gave him a little extra because he had to use extra material. I think thats fair. I get home from work to look at the work they did and WOW! Just wow. This guy does some really good quality work. I will be bringing back more stuff for him to reuphoster. Thanks for the great work! read more

The upholstery job Ben did for us is top-notch. Beyond that, though, he communicated promptly and clearly, and made arrangements to limit the time we would be without the couch and love-seat. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we provided the transportation to and from the shop, otherwise we would have another project there for him to do already. But we are hopeful, as I'm sure all of us are, that Ben will be back to providing pick-up and delivery again before too long. In the meantime, whatever jobs you need done that can be brought to the shop, consider pushing them up your priority list and make sure that this excellent local businessman is still there for us when we want him to come get the recliner that needs recovered. Thank you in advance for the kindness of your support. read more

We just had six kitchen chairs reupholstered and Ben and the team did a great job. Fairly priced, solid quality, easy to work with and the job was done quicker than expected. Will definitely use again. read more

Ben Herrera and his staff do beyond excellent work! We had an old, but comfortable rocking chair that had very worn and faded upholstery. Ben was a pleasure to work with. He showed us books of sample fabrics in the colors we were looking for and was patient and knowledgeable about the various types of fabrics for reupholstering our chair. He gave us a fair bid and picked up our chair and delivered it back to us in a timely manner. The communication was excellent and the workmanship on the chair was the same. I am a fan and highly recommend Ben Herrera. Thank you Ben! read more

We had an outstanding experience with Ben, the owner, throughout the process. He is very customer-service oriented. He was responsive throughout the process - from providing a bid, to pick-up and drop-off. He paid close attention to detail to ensure that the chairs looked attractive from all directions. He was very prompt with pick-up and delivery and finished the chairs when promised. Overall outstanding experience and highly recommend this honest, hard-working entrepreneur! read more

I cannot even express how happy I am with the job that Ben did reupholstering our two armchairs that were complete disasters! The patterned fabric we had was put on so perfectly, and both chairs are completely 100% symmetrical. They are so much more comfortable now as well. Ben is very professional, personable and great to work with. Our chairs were ready before they were promised, and for a very fair price. Highly recommend him, and we'll be back in the future! read more

Gave him a lot of business and then he acted like he was too busy to do more. Not the way any client should be treated. Would never recommend him to anyone after that. read more

I would give Ben more stars if I could. I had three old family chairs that needed love and a lot of new fabric. I found Ben through Yelp and drove to his workshop in Salinas. I showed him pictures, he gave me a quote on all three. He also said he wouldn't be able to take them until August (This was in May) but it would take only two to three weeks. I wasn't in a rush and when August came, Ben was ready to take the chairs and even picked them up (I live in Carmel Valley). And within two weeks, he brought them back and they looked AMAZING. Even the one chair that had a bit of a crazy pattern looked unbelievable. And the price he quoted was the price he charge me. That, after even taking time to re-enforce the frame for one. He was professional and personable. I would use him again in a minute! read more

I researched the local upholstery shops & he came in 4th. Went to first 3 shops & they were a joke. Went to Herrera's and he took care of me no problem. Got 4 chairs done and they look beautiful. Had them in & out in less then 24 hours. Very trustworthy and honest shop. Recommend this shop big time. read more

Just received the finished product after Ben worked his magic. We had left this sofa outside for awhile because we didn't have space for it anywhere else. It was a mess - moldy inside and the fabric on the outside was frayed and rotten. We weren't sure it was salvageable. But Ben saved it! We chose super nice fabric and the finished product is amazing. Actually better than the sofa looked new. He even made some sofa arm covers to protect them from the cats scratching. Also seems like a really nice, trustworthy guy. He was very careful moving the sofa in and out of the house and made sure that everything was back in its place before he left. Wonderful experience and I would highly recommend his workmanship. read more
