Arley from Furniture & Repairs did a fantastic job. You can tell right away that he really knows…read morehis craft. He took the time to explain what needed to be done and clearly takes a lot of pride in the quality of his work. On top of that, he's just a very personable guy and easy to work with. It's refreshing to meet someone who still approaches their work like a true craftsman instead of just rushing through the job. The repair turned out great, and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. I'd absolutely recommend Arley to anyone who needs furniture repaired or restored. It's getting harder to find people who care this much about doing things the right way.

What an interesting shop located at the Menlo Park Allied Gardens. I was with some colleagues in…read morethat area and the old school wood shop attracted me to go inside and take a look. I saw a lot of old chairs hanging in the ceiling, which I thought were acting as decoration. The owner/carpenter/artist/craftsman (that also looks like an actor in my opinion) told me that the chairs were in repair after some fires have destroyed so much furniture of a client and he was actually repairing them to their original state. I saw all the tools, the space, some pieces being repaired and the work of love. I have nothing to repair (after all I am an Ikea girl), but surely this shop is worth a visit even as a 'museum' of manual woodshop work.

Luke and Dave did work for me. Dave cut a custom-designed threshold (jacoba) according to prototype…read morewith slight modification. Luke stained the piece and installed it at my place. He also stained some faded baseboard, a damaged interior threshold, and repaired a piano hinge (completely pulled off) for a large teak desk. Work was high quality and efficient (in-house work). I sourced the wood myself. For scheduling, I'd give four-minus stars. It's a bit tentative and "off" at times, but once a date was (finally) nailed, the appt was on time. I'd go to them again for work (and well might, since I have a lot of wood at my small place).

The price is reasonable and it's absolutely perfect for my situation! I highly recommend this service and for any valuable fabric furnitures! Love it! Most stores just tell you to redo the entire sofa but mine is a vintage fabric! ! I think these stores just want to warn my money and absolutely have no knowlege of preserve vintage fabric furnitures! Plus the fabric is no longer available , it would have e cost me an arm and a leg to redo it! The appointment is a long wait but worth it! The communication is excellent !!! Keep up the good work!

They called me to give me an estimate for the cost of the repair and then did the repair. It worked well afterwards. The electronics in the recliner needed to be soldered because the line had been pinched. Great experience all around.

This is the second time I had Aby reupholster the same bench. We recently made some upgrades to our…read morebedroom, so the bench needed a refresh as well. Aby did such a great job the first time, we didn't hesitate for her to do it again. I sent her a few inspiration pictures, and when I went to pick out fabric, she already had narrowed down the samples for us, which streamlined the selection process. A few weeks later Aby let us know our bench was ready. It was exactly what I wanted, and the fabric had the perfect texture and color. I'm sure I could have bought a new bench for the price of the reupholstering, but I don't think I can find one that's custom made exactly as I want.

This review is long overdue. I had Aby reupholster my grandmother's wingback chair (sorry I don't…read morehave before pics), which needed a major overhaul with spring work, all new foam, refurbishing of the wood, etc. Aby and her staff were great. They took ample time to help me decide on the right fabric for me, and they did a beautiful job withe the chair. The service was professional, as requested, and a very reasonable turnaround time (just a few weeks). I'm so happy with my chair and highly recommend Aby's Upholstery!

I reached out to fill in some holes that longhorn beetles that were already infested in the…read morefurniture ate its way through. There were 2 holes about the size of a pinky and the cavity is about the size that could fit my thumb up to its nailbed. I reached out to a few folks and got quotes. Given my prior positive experience, I reached out to Mauricio to see if this could be done. I also noticed 2 holes that I'm not sure if it was there when I first got the furniture or if something else bore out. These were about the size of a dull pencil tip but on the underside of the furniture. Mauricio was extremely patient with me upon getting the details as I was considering getting a second opinion from some local exterminators on the risk of another emergence. Eventually, I figured out some details and booked an appointment. Everything was quickly scheduled with Edgar who arrived on time promptly and quickly went to work fixing the 4 holes. By the time it was finished, I could only vaguely guess where the holes were. To someone who didn't know about the holes, it would look almost natural. All in all, this took roughly an hour or so to complete. Edgar was sure to clean up after himself and laid out some paper padding to capture any mess left behind and prevent it from touching the floor. Overall, I was happy with the price and quality of work done.
