This is one of those businesses for which I must admit hesitating to write a five star review. The…read moreonly reason is I kind of want to perpetuate the secret that such an amazing business exists. We have been doing business with Rachel for years now. Everything from reupholstery to commissioning of brand new furniture, pillows, slipcovers...you name it. When I say every single piece of work has been flawless, I'm not exaggerating. Rachel delivers her work on time, at remarkable value, and is capable of virtually anything you can dream up. A recent example: we have a beautiful George Nakashima table and have always admired the leg support construction. We asked Rachel to build an art gallery-style bench with the same type of support. She simply looked at the table when she was here and, a few weeks later, delivered a stunning Nakashima style bench with exquisite black walnut legs. If I pointed to this bench and told you it was Nakashima, you would believe it. If you have furniture building or upholstery work of any level of challenge, Rachel will be the best phone call you ever placed.

Rachel and her staff exceeded all expectations with the professional work they did recovering our…read morestools. She was thoughtful and informative with fabric recommendations, was able to do the job and had it done in a week. A brief consultation with a different local upholsterer left me feeling like it wasn't even possible. But Rachel took them on and did the job like a pro. Ten stars!!

BUYER BEWARE. I have never written a negative review for any business of any kind but the way I…read morewas taken advantage of by Jhon and Scott at Tailored Home is so outrageous, I need to warn people about how they operate. I am a designer and stumbled into their store, really impressed and excited to have a working relationship with them. I ordered a custom side table, custom barstools and curtains. As a designer, I absolutely could have taken their suggested fabrics and design and done the barstools and curtains myself for a lot less money. Their mark up even to with "a discount" was 40% on the fabrics. That was easy enough for me to check since I have design accounts. But doing that would be unethical since I truly appreciated the suggestions from Jhon. February 2023: I give 100% payment for the curtains and am promised these will be done by April 23 when I have a large event and it would be nice to have the curtains. April 2023: Jhon tells me that one of the two fabrics in the curtains in backordered until June, but he has the other fabric. I tell him I will buy the fabric from him or pay a restock fee because I can't wait until June and already have another fabric, I can get ASAP and have my curtain installer finish the job in time. Jhon and Scott's response was to give me a store credit for both fabrics (even though one fabric was not even paid for yet since it is on backorder), credit for the labor (even though the fabrics were not made) and no credit for the installation (even though I paid for that in full and there was no installation). I paid $5,571.18 for the curtains that were never made. They said the best they could do was give me a store credit for $4,405.55. How does someone refuse to refund you for product and services not yet bought or performed? So beware that even if they are unable to fulfill an order but you have trusted them by giving payment in full, they will not refund you at all. They will keep 100% of your money and force you to use that money in their store. I spent more than $10,000 in their store on products I could have don't myself for a lot less money, but I did the right thing by not "stealing" their ideas and doing it myself. I hoped for a long relationship and respected them for their design style. They clearly have no respect for their customers.

We re did our entire entry way and living room as well as new drapes for all windows and custom furniture. We were somewhat worried about the time frame of our request...given we host birthday parties, special events, and family gatherings, however the process was quicker than we expected and are so excited with the outcome. They exceeded our expectations. Suggesting them to all of our close friends and relatives! This place is amazing!

I wish I could give 0 star. It is the WORST experience ever!!!!…read more My husband and I picked up the same design curtain in the short hills mall showcasing window. It cost us almost $2000, but it turned out to be super disappointing. The design and color were totally different. we refused to pay the rest at first, since the owner promised to fix the issue. Then we gave them the money. HOWEVER, he NEVER showed up. Even we have scheduled an appointment and my husband took half day off and waited for him, but he cancelled in the last minute. The staff is so rude and curtain looks so cheap but cost thousand of dollars! NEVER EVER choose this design company!

I knew I couldn't just take home because the item was heavy as heck and if I took home I would put off and procrastinate. Wilson is centrally located on Washington ave north haven. Owner graciously met me downstairs, removed item from my car and took the time to inspect the item and point out the "gem" I procured as he compared my lounge to the "prefab won't-last-five-years chaise lounges of today. He asked questions on where the item will be stored (high traffic va low traffic areas of home) and when i answered he provided a plethora of fabrics to consider. Most importantly, he did NOT expect full payment that day! Whew!! What a relief. Starting a new business is expensive so not having to make full payment before work commenced made my day. Chair is absolutely a transformation. Comfortable and I can't wait to use as a prop. Love the oatmeal color I chose.

The store it's self is adorable. If you're looking for a formal dress for prom or a dance, or a themed event, this is the place to go for sure. There are so many beautiful formal dresses here, black tie dresses, big skirt dresses, and even casual cotton dresses. There are dresses for infants and little girls. Everything is in pristine shape and looking beautiful. The prices range, of course depending on if it's designer or not. There's a whole selection of sparkly accessories, most of these items are oversized for my preference. There are lots of home items, I saw ice skates from the 1920s, lots of cool dishes with the Kennedys on them. This store is basically a museum where you can touch everything and purchase what you like for a very decent cost. I don't have a purpose for most of these items, so I didn't get anything. If you like vintage items, you'll love browsing through Tova's. I encourage you to stop by.
