The concept of reviving old items has been applied to the reupholstery of our couch, which started…read more5 years earlier with Ed, the owner and craftsman of Customer Upholstery on Auburn Boulevard. Our sofa had a classic frame with oversized seat cushions and feathered back cushions approximately 20 years old, and the fabric was showing signs of wear and tears in two distinct areas along with the frames fabric. Ed suggested semi-firm foam replacements which was perfect,and thought that the fabric would be fine for now, but consider a fabric change next time I decide needed new foam cushions. So 5 years later I decided this October to replace them again, Ed suggested that future cushion replacement may not be feasible due to the fabrics extensive wear. He suggested that I consider reupholstering as we were unable to find a suitable replacement in the market. Our needs required a comfortable couch that could accommodate two dogs and two humans. The market was lacking style and craftsmanship. So I made an appointment with his lovely wife Lily, who manages the showroom. Lily suggested we browse through the MULTIPLE design books, guiding this upholstery fabric novice on what would and would not be great for a sofa especially if we catered to spoiling our 4 legged friends. We spent several hours carefully deciding on a texture and a color until we found the perfect one. To ensure that the project was completed before the holidays, Ed's plan was to do this project in 2 phases so we'd have something to sit on while the reupholstering of the sections was happening. The process was seamless, Ed and his team made sure that each sections transport was properly packed and protected since of course it was time for the rainy season to begin. The final result is a beautiful couch with fabric that will last for years. They went above and beyond to make this project a success even as the holidays approached they were confident that I'd have a new couch Christmas and they delivered! If you are looking for a completely new look for your furniture, Custom Upholstery can provide exceptional results. I highly recommend them, as their craftsmanship is truly exceptional. Ed has been in the business for over 20 years, and his expertise is evident in every aspect of the project. This husband and wife team are both passionate, professional and committed to customer care.

I was worried because many places talked about long waits for work to be done and that simply was not an option. The people at California Upholstery were wonderful. They bent over backwards to make my experience a good one, staying late one day for me to be able to come in and pick fabrics, rush ordering the fabrics, coming in early for me to pick it up, and even driving in their truck to my office to drop it off. They were very knowledgeable, charged a very fair rate and did an excellent job. I am frankly amazed at these guys! They are getting any and all work from me in the future. Can't recommend them enough. John Cornelius, M.D. Thanks guys!

It takes a couple of weeks to get your machine back, but they did excellent work. She's very clean now and I even got a little note from the mechanic how to maintenance my machine from home. There's a giant parking lot so parking is never a problem. Everyone is super friendly and I can imagine the classes here are fun.

She provided me with great information and I decided to make the trip up to visit the store. Based upon the emailed information and hands on demonstration Jennifer provided I purchased my dream machine. Jennifer wasn't the only helpful Meissner's employee I encountered that day. The receptionist/greeter was very helpful. And as I wondered around waiting for Jennifer to finish up with a customer; I was greeted, and offered assistance, by another employee. In addition, as I was making my purchase, a customer brought in her Serger for service. A technician came out looked at the machine, listened to what was causing the customer issues, saw the problem and fixed it on the spot! They have a wide variety of machines for all levels, notions and some fabric choices.

I have to admit that I was hesitant to use this company since the previous reviewer didn't give them a good review, but that review was 6 yrs old, and Victor seemed like a good guy. We returned the next day to confirm the original bid. Victor wasn't there, but David honored the original bid and was just as pleasant to deal with as Victor. The cushion turned out fantastic! The worksmanship was very professional and we will certainly return to give them follow-up business as well as refer them to our friends.

After checking back with my dad, it turns out they asked us all of the same questions - sunroof or no sunroof? two-door or four-door? etc. - yet for some reason they tacked on an extra $70 when I made the call. They seemed very unprofessional and disorganized over the phone. I would hate to think what those knuckleheads might have done to my poor car, had I kept the appointment. Here's my only advice to any young people who still want to go to this place: to get the best possible price for any procedure, have your dad set up the appointment for you.
