Kudos to Leather Solution on Irving Pk. The LS team made our almost 20-year-old Italian leather furniture in our front room look like NEW, after a little stuffing and repair! Neighbors, a little advice: don't throw away your old furniture to buy something new. Let Leather Solution take a look at it; it'll save you big $. Forget about the 1 Star review I placed in May of 2022. The concern was solved. read more

I have been meaning to write a review for some time. I unequivocally recommend Leather Solutions of Chicago. In January of 2020, I opened up my home to foster 4 pandemic puppies. Sadly, my leather couch and leather chair did not fair well against their razor sharp teeth. I had 2 options, buy new or pay to repair it. We had paid quite a bit brand new 10 years ago. Our warranty had expired. The company that we purchased these pieces from still offered the same set...for $2500 more than we originally paid. My husband and I agreed that if the repair cost under $1000 it would be worth the cost and better for the environment. After a few phonecalls and emails, I was finally able to connect with Leather Solutions Of Chicago. They are kind good people. They are truly worth the wait. Their skill is second to none. I was without furniture for a little over a week. I literally wanted to cry when I saw the repair. You would have never known that I had it repaired. They not only replaced the damaged pieces and restuffed the cushions, they also matched the color of the leather perfectly. We are forever grateful to Rachelle and Fidelino for restoring our beloved couch and chair. read more

If I could give 1000 stars, I would. Workers spilled beer on my beautiful aniline leather couch while I was out of the country, and I came back to a huge, dark, raised stain. Multiple cleaners told me it was ruined. Rachelle and Fidelino were kind, responsive, and really went above and beyond to help me - and Fidelino was able to completely remove the stain. I don't know how he did it; the man is a wizard. I wanted to cry or hug him or both. I cannot recommend Leather Solution highly enough. read more

The owner called me back and I have an appointment scheduled for next week so I am looking forward to having my leather chair repaired again. read more

I was fortunate enough to find this place and save tons of money. I have two fake leather couches that needed repair. The removable seat cushions were destroyed but I couldn't afford to buy two new couches. Leather solutions came to the rescue. Their customer service is top notch and they made me all new cushions for an excellent price. Now in addition to leather repair, they are making masks that are so nice and affordable. I recommend this place for all your furniture repair needs. They don't just deal with leather. And if you're running low on masks, this is your place. Tons of variety at a cheap price. read more

Responsive, quick scheduling, nice employees, and most importantly they got the pen ink out of our leather couch. Very happy and would recommend. read more

Leather solutions has been my go to company for all my touch up and repairs when something goes wrong with our delivery department they have walked me through a ton of different problems and most of them have been fixed with their products and look great afterwards, that keep our customers happy knowing we can take care of future issues they might have. Thank you Leather solutions read more

I had 2 leather cushions reupholstered because of a tear. Beautiful work and accommodating customer service. Rachelle went above and beyond to accommodate me! From working around my busy schedule, to excellent communication. Fidelino, who picked up my cushions etc, was very kind and knowledgeable. They did a GREAT job! My couch looks brand new again! Wonderful quality and wonderful customer service! I will absolutely use them again in the future!! Thank you David Honquest for the recommendation!! A++++ read more

I emailed a few times, sent photos of the work that I needed done on my sofa but I haven't received a call or an email response.

Holy Moly people. This organization is top notch in service, knowledge, experience, efficiency, kindness, peace, love and understanding. I know that is bit dramatic, but I'm pretty sweet on Rachelle at Leather Solution. Imagine, if you will, this: Bought brand new espresso colored all leather couch and loveseat week of 7/30, delivered 8/4, all cushions destroyed by my asshole dog on 8/13. ALL 5 CUSHIONS - scratched and clawed down to the original color of the leather (saddle colored) - most dye (or wax, maybe) removed from each seat due to aggressive scratching all day long. Panicked, after a call from my furious husband who gets home before me, I made some calls and was referred to Leather Solution. I emailed on the website and got an email right back asking if they could contact me later on that evening, when back in the office. I spoke to Rachelle (such a kind, sweet soul) who listened to my story after reviewing my before and after pictures via email, and offered her expertise on how this leather was prepared in the first place by the manufacturer, the process at the tannery and what the entire process would be to return it to its original glory post 8/13. She would send a foreman out the NEXT DAY, TO DO THE WORK IN MY HOME!! HE CAME, HE CORRECTED THE COLOR AND HE LEFT in two hours. A true craftsman, the color is exactly the same as it was and the scratches barely visible. My husband said he worked skillfully to match the color with heat and dye and conditioner along with lots of massaging the leather to bring the wax back up to the surface. We are so happy... beyond happy! Affordable, honest, kind, incredibly experienced individuals here - I will sing their praises forever. Bravo! read more

Leather Solution came to my rescue when salad dressing (oil and vinegar) spilled on a brand new leather sofa just hours after it had been delivered. Before Leather Solution, 3 companies told me the stain was impossible to remove, and 1 made it worse (and harder for Leather Solution) by trying. Within days Leather Solution got the cushion back to me in as good as new condition! From start to finish, this company was the gold standard for professionalism and customer service. Rachelle responded quickly, communicated clearly and often, and accommodated my schedule. And Lino the foreman is an absolute pro who inspired confidence when he came out for consult and got the job done flawlessly. read more

Leather Solution of Chicago provided exceptional services in the restoration and re-staining of my leather furniture set! When they picked-up the furniture the condition of the leather was dry, cracking and the color was significantly faded. After their work, all pieces look brand new. I could not be more pleased with their professionalism and work. Their communications and overall customer service were exemplary. I would welcome the opportunity to work with them again, and will gladly refer them to others in need of such services. read more

They came out for an estimate then didn't respond back after several attempts to contact them to book an appointment. The owner reached out to me after a few months and explained the situation. I'm looking forward to getting my new quote! read more

What a great experience! From start to finish Leather Solutions was perfect- Great communication Awesome service from installation crew, very professional Started as a color change and ended up needing full replacement, but delivered onTime and perfect! Rachelle kept us up to date and worked within our schedule, thanks! read more

Excellent. Rachelle is very responsive, even on the weekends. I had three large Italian leather pieces that were trashed by years, the dog, and me. So the only solution was to strip them down to the frame and build them back up again. Which they did, perfectly. And improved on original design, by adding straps to keep the horizontal cushions from sliding out of position. Plus they created custom heavy-duty slipcovers that they installed on-site, after letting me see the uncovered pieces first. They picked up, and delivered to my 3rd floor unit. Cheerfully. Note: the photos on the site don't do their work justice. It's first class. I'm now a big fan. read more

After searching for a leather chair for my husband (third year anniversary gift), I accepted I could not get anything extraordinary for my $1000 budget. I turned to Craig's list and found a leather chair in "excellent" condition. I loved the shape, and the chair originally sold for up to $3000. The seller had it priced at $399. I went to the seller's home and saw a blue chair - despite poor lighting making it appear brown in the picture on Craig's List. It was not in excellent condition, quite distressed and worn, but I liked the idea of getting a $3000 chair for $399 (it was well made, with down stuffing, castors and wood framing). I almost passed it up, but thought that with the extra $600, perhaps I could get it dyed. I had several estimates, including one from The Leather Solutions. When TLS sent me a repair quote, I admitted that it was getting to the top of my budget and I still wanted it colored (I only had $600 left). There was a lot of email communication, and after a few emails back and forth, they offered the job with a significant discount if I could get the chair to them right away. (They made it so I could fit it in my anniversary budget!) Since I was now at the top of my budget, I asked if I could drop-off and pick-up the chair to avoid the delivery fee. While they said I could do this, they included waiving that fee as well if I was able to do the job right away! Someone picked up my chair and the deposit. I emailed pictures of chairs with a color range I was hoping to obtain for the blue leather chair. They gave me a two week timeline, and said they would do their best to get it done by our anniversary. After a week, I checked in and received immediate communication that everything was on track, but that it might not be done until a few days after our anniversary. It was an apologetic email, explaining that they did not want to disappoint. I was hardly upset; I would much rather have the chair results perfect, as well! A few days later, I had an email asking to confirm our anniversary date. The next day (two days before our anniversary), I had an email from Rachel with "good news." Of course, I assumed that the chair coloring process was complete, and that I would receive the chair in time for our anniversary. Instead, she communicated that the original leather was very dry and that they reupholstered the entire chair for me with overstock leather (maintaining the original tags), AND they could deliver it the day before our anniversary! They worked over the weekend in order to get the chair done for our anniversary! I was not available during the original time they asked to deliver, but they still made it happen by rerouting their delivery person so he could drop it off later when I would be home. I cannot believe the amazing attention, communication and generosity to make our anniversary perfect. I did not think I could afford an extraordinary chair, but when it arrived, it was not a breath short of extraordinary. I could have never gifted a chair of this quality and beauty without The Leather Solutions. They gave the most competitive quote, were the most generous with my budget, and did everything they could do with my chair given the condition. I'll let the pictures speak for their work! (Please excuse the mess in the second picture; it was also our move-in day!) read more

Hello, I wanted to follow back up on my previous review. I wanted to report that Rachelle was able to connect with me about my quote. There were some personal issues that she needed to address during the holiday season which caused a delayed response. She was more than apologetic and I would be happy to receive their quote. The quite was more than fair and i look forward to working with Rachelle and leather solutions. Thanks so much!! read more

Back in the day, I purchased a loveseat and chair from the now defunct Leather Center in a very unusual 'greige' color. I cared for them accordingly, using the specific products prescribed. Over time and many moves, these well loved pieces began to show their age. I had attempted my own re-stuffing a few years ago, trying to keep their wear from getting in the way of their enjoyment. I even thought it was time for them to be replaced with new pieces, but I couldn't bring myself to to part with them. I read the reviews for Leather Solutions and thought that a reupholster job may be what my pieces needed. I contact the team, and they sent Fidelino to come to my home to assess what was needed. He was very friendly and was surprised that they pieces were in such great shape. He explained that many people over clean their items, unknowingly removing the leather glazing. He was impressed with the quality of their build, telling me today most arm rests of couches are built from cardboard that crushes if you sit on the arm! He liked their design and told me that I was right to seek out a reupholstering adding that the color and modern design are not seen in today's furnishings. My back and arm rest pieces zip off, which he said is an added bonus in the reconstruction cost. He said I would be very happy when the pieces were redone. He was right! I'm sure that the exceptional work they do keeps them busy, which is why I had experienced some coordination issues with the office They did get back to me promptly each time I contacted them about my questions, schedule and trying to align my building services with their delivery timetables and my job. However each time I had to coordinate the contact, not the other way around. I agree with other posters that while there are other less expensive providers to chose from, I am extremely happy with the results of their service. An unexpected bonus, the same team came to my house for both the pickup and delivery team. They were also very nice and professional. If your pieces do not zip off, ask them if its possible to add zippers into the cost of the work. It will pay off in the end. Zippers make it easier to fix just the parts that need them. Overall, you will certainly pay less to reupholster than buy something new that is poorly made. I highly recommend that before you consider replacing your leather furniture with something else, look to Leather Solution for an option you may not realize you have. read more

Leather Solutions did a great job restoring and restuffing our leather chairs. Interacting with Leather Solutions has been a pleasure, and the knowledge of Melody, Rachelle, and Lino has been most impressive. The cost for this service is not small (there were many other less expensive providers), but we are happy with the results. So much so that we are having them reupholster our sofa (when done this will be the subject of another review) read more

My husband and I bought chairs from Room and Board 20 years ago. The leather was worn in places and we decided to look for replacements. We did not find anything we loved as much as these chairs, so we contacted Leather Solutions to see if they could reupholster them. The final product exceeded our expectations. I was concerned that they would not duplicate the original detailing, but they came back to us exactly like the original chairs. The leather is beautiful, and the workmanship is really outstanding. Unlike other furniture we've ordered, the 2 chairs and ottoman came back completely covered in plastic wrap , which was a detail that I appreciated. I would highly recommend this company. read more

Had a serious tear in a leather couch cushion, the type of cushion that is permanently attached. I called Leather Solution, they picked up the entire couch, did a wonderful repair - matching the stitching, color and texture perfectly then re-delivered it in less than 2 weeks, even the delivery guys were great, all at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended, ask for Rachelle :) SL read more

brand new aniline leather sofa + pen = a scary combo. i tried to fix it myself - don't do that. call leather solution instead (or email them). rachelle is super thoughtful and responsive in her messages. fidelino is very knowledgeable and knows his trade. the sofa was restored and looks like it did when i first got it (see the before and after). i have full faith that i will have this sofa for a long time bc LSolutuon can keep it looking beautiful. read more

I just got my couch back an hour ago and I'm beside myself excited!! The seat cushions were in terrible shape. I searched for weeks for something I liked as much as my couch and the closest I could come was $5000. Leather Solution was able to reupholster just the seats. The leather they found is a perfect match for a price tag of only $1000. And i was only couchless for a week. I could NOT be happier. read more

We have two Design Within Reach Flight chairs that are approximately 10 years old. The leather was looking very worn, but there were no holes or problems with the chairs until our son decided to hop on his dad's lap while he was reclining. Busted the bottom out of the chair. I contacted Leather Solutions, and provided pictures and received a quote very quickly. For less than half the price of a new chair, Rachelle and company picked up our chairs, repaired the damage, located minor damage on the other chair and fixed it, and made the leather look brand new. All in about 1 week from the quote to the delivery of the chairs. I hope they last another 10 years (I'm sure the dog will scratch the seats somehow) so our son can put them in his first apartment :). read more

If you do not immediately hear back from the company after inquiry, do not worry! They are busy with a number of jobs and Rachelle will get back to you at an appropriate time. Rachelle and the team were nothing but exceptional. I had one ivory aniline leather chair repaired and it was finished within 2-3 days. After receiving the chair, there was one small area that was missed (in their defense, it was a small spot). Without hesitation, they sent one of their employees (Lino, you're awesome) to fix it the next morning. He answered any questions I had and was patient with the whole process. These people are experts at their craft, and it was truly incredible to visualize my chair beforehand and see it after it was finished. read more

The Leather Solution was reccommended to me by someone we do business with. Our initial attempts to contact them were frustrating! They don't seem to answer their phone, and it took a few days for us to connect. IT WAS ALL WORTHWHILE. This is the first time I have given a 5Review. The very same day that I spoke to Rachelle for the first time, she sent Lino to my home to see the job and give me an estimate. I was preparing to leave the country a few days later. They scheduled pick up of my furniture before I left on my trip, and it was completed when I returned ten days later. Both pick up and re delivery of the pieces went smoothly and my furniture now looks (and feels) better than new. They tightened the supports and restuffed the cushions. It doesn't just look better; it feels better to sit in these couches and chairs now. We are thrilled with the results and will use them again. read more

Wow! These guys are GREAT! I had a leather sofa, and the dog had scratched the leather cushion seat covers. I brought them in and they made new cushion covers that are an exact match. It looks like I have a brand new sofa. Also - I brought them in on a Monday and they had them done by Friday evening, which was a holiday weekend and even delivered them to my apartment after six that night! I highly recommend doing business with Leather Solution of Chicago, they do great work, they are reasonably priced, get the job done fast and are SUPER easy to work with. AM read more

I took a calfskin leather jacket with a really bad tear in the sleeve to be repaired , hoping it would look somewhat decent. Leather Solution did an outstanding job on the tear . Like it was never there! The price was right. I will be going back, great service read more

We just had sections on two leather couches reupholstered by the Leather Solution and they look brand new. The colors match perfectly, the seat cushions have been re stuffed and the sections of original leather have been cleaned and conditioned. It was money well spent. They also picked up and delivered and lent us a sofa while ours was gone! Great responsiveness and service! read more

Leather Solution - Look like new - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Rachelle and team are the best in the business ! We had our patio furniture cushions and covers redone by her team and they look better then new!! Outstanding customer service from start to finish. We had a hiccup where the vendor sent wrong color and Rachelle had the right stuff in the next day and work was turned in exactly in the timeframe she stated! Truly an outstanding company to work with. Definitely will recommend her to everyone! read more

I purchased a leather sectional from Crate & Barrel in late 2014. By August, one of my dogs had chewed 3 sides of the armrest. Leather Solutions repaired & replaced the leather arm, it looks like new, matching perfectly! I even asked them to make arm covers. From the first phone call (I spoke with Melody) to completion, took 4 weeks. I couldn't be happier! I plan on keeping my pups away from the couch... at least know who to call if there's another accident. read more

Got my 10 fabric chairs upholstered in white leather. We got the chairs back in around a week and we are sooo happy. Amazing results. Best price. Very responsive to emails and yelp messaging. 5 Stars! read more

I can not recommend them enough! Their work comes out beautifully and in a timely manner given the precision and quality that it shows with their work. Rachelle in the office goes out of her way to help customers and make sure they are satisfied. She literally will go out of her way for her customers, as she did for me. Thank you all at Leather Solutions!! read more

Emailed twice. Called and left messages 3 times. Never heard a response at all. Talked to several other people who have had the same level of communication. Can't imagine this service being around very much longer. Use extreme caution! read more

I took the cover of a leather couch cushion here that was saturated with a mixture of body water and a homemade "remedy" of baking soda, water, and dish soap that sat for about 3 days. When I took it into the shop even the worker grimaced. He quoted me and set expectations that they could improve it but it may not be back to 100%. Well, maybe they were purposely underpromising, because they absolutely overdelivered. It looks spectacular; they are magicians. Not too mention my initial interaction was quick and pleasant and easy but also informative. And every interaction after with Rachelle was equally as easy; she was very responsive and kept me in the loop. A+ experience. Would drive far and wide to bring any leather goods here. read more

Magic. Pure Magic. We have a 5 month old distressed leather couch that was badly drawn on by my 5 year old, with his fingernails...he scratched large smiley faces, circles, x's, and other abstract ehm designs onto the couch. After crying for a few days, and doing some research, we finally decided to take the plunge and trust Leather Solution Chicago with trying to repair the damage. We were ready to just buy a new couch, we didn't think fixing it, or even making it somehow look decent, was a possibility. Leather Solution Chicago arrived the next day to pick up the entire couch and work on it at their facility. It was back in our family room in 3 days. I sobbed. It looks AMAZING!!! We are stunned, floored, and so beyond grateful that Leather Solution Chicago was able to not only repair the extreme scratches, but it looks better than new. The distressed quality of the leather is intact, it is clean and looking better than ever. Rachelle and the delivery guys were total professionals, friendly and efficient. Worth every penny...a fraction of the price of a new couch. Please do not attempt to fix damage yourself, pay for an expert, it is worth it! I HIGHLY recommend Leather Solution Chicago!!! read more

This 5 star review is in response to Leather Solutions willingness to connect with me since my last review. Rachelle immediately contacted me and has made every effort to make things right. I am so pleased at their willingness to go above and beyond to restore my couch. Customer service rates high in my book. I'll post an additional review once the service has been performed. read more

Mind blown and expectations exceeded! I had been putting off having my leather reclining armchair from Pottery Barn restored for well over a year. After much research I chose Leather Solution and am delighted that I did. All communication was via email; however, Rachelle was quick at replying and kept me informed each step of the way. The pick up and delivery were within the exact 45 min/1 hour time frame quoted to me. The pick up team was excellent in discussing my finish options, showing me how much darker the original finish would be as compared to the faded coloring it was when they took the chair from me. I have had the chair for over 12 years and am still in awe after it was delivered back to me this morning. It looks like it did at the time of my original purchase. My only regret is that I didn't take before/after photos to truly depict the results. It feels like I have a new chair for a fraction of the price! I would not hesitate to call upon Leather Solution to replenish and remedy my furniture. read more

I found Leather Solution on the web & then on Yelp. Rachelle responded very quickly to my quote request to refurbish and make a color change for our 20+ yr old Stressless leather chair & ottoman. She sent the shop foreman to come to our house (something I certainly did not expect) to evaluate our request for cleaning & dying. He took the chair & ottoman & then delivered them back beautifully completed 8 days later! High marks for great customer service & follow-through. They did what they promised for a very fair price! We recommend their work! read more
