    We brought in our set of four 1950s Heywood Wakefield "dog bone" chairs that were in serious need of new cushions, along with vintage fabric (Hawaiian barkcloth) we had recently found. Erick and his crew did a wonderful job - they had the fabric backed to make it more durable, which turned out great, and did some really nice detail work including new bottom-boards for the cushions so that they fit perfectly against the backs of the chairs. And, they even made a little pillow for us with the extra fabric! Most important though, the chairs look absolutely beautiful now, and my husband and I are very happy with them. I highly recommend this place; it's obvious that they care a ton about the quality of the work they do.

    We are very happy to find a great upholsterer in the Whittier area. This family business proved to be an excellent one. Not only are they courteous and friendly, they are experts with great design and repair suggestions. They are skilled in this business. We had two sturdy foot stools in need of recovering. We also wanted casters added to make them easier to move. Erick listened to us and then offered his input. That was helpful. He completed the work in a timely fashion, and returned the foot stools to us - delivered to our home. We are pleased with the work and enjoyed working with him. The casters work so well and are recessed from view - Erick's suggestion. We chose leather. The upholstery looks fantastic. He also relined the interior. He put new foam on the tops to improve them. Not only do we get many more years out of the solid frames of the original foot stools, they now roll easily and look new.

    Found them on yelp! Customer service was % they responded quickly, they listened to the details of what I was looking for in my furniture make over! And let me say they went above and beyond I was not aware of what was underneath the material of the furniture I brought them. They decided to keep the quality top notch not just what the material they provide but redesigning the pieces themselves. I was very surprised that they also made furniture pieces! I have provided photos of before and after they should speak for themselves! I'm beyond words content with the work they have delivered. I will continue to use them for any future furniture flips I do. I recommend them to anyone looking for an upholstery person! This family business has earned a new loyal customer. Thank you again guys I love my custom pieces! my guests complement the pieces and I let them know who did the work!

    We had an antique rocker reupholstered and it's gorgeous! They even covered my stepstool to match and made me a pillow. Erick & Yvette are very knowledgeable, very friendly, and do excellent work. I can't recommend highly enough. Support small family business and take your furniture to MJ's.

    New bottom

    Service was excellent asked for 6 dining chairs to be reupholstered on bottom only and Yvette came over to look at project, to help choose fabric, and to price. She was very pleasant and within a week I had new chairs. They were very meticulous in making the new bottoms. Thank you for making my new chairs.

    I recently took 6 dinning seats to be upholstered to MJ's. First, the friendly courteous greeting from Erick, the owner was a huge plus. I told him what I wanted & needed & he explained to me options I had regarding materials/fabrics. He showed me options for the cushioning & had me sit on sample chairs to in order to decide what I liked. I like that he does not pressure you into anything & just explains the differences on the options I choose. His price was very fair & the turn around time he gave me was more than reasonable. He actually had them ready a couple of days sooner than expected, which was very appreciated. His work was outstanding. My mom, (RIP) was a seamstress in the furniture business & I recognized the quality of his work. I am 100% happy & satisfied with his workmanship & service. I highly recommend MJ's, a family owned business. I am going to have them reupholster a reclining chair I have also. Great work, great people

    Erick did it again! This time he revived my mom's old sofa. I grew up with this couch and though I never really liked it that much, it's at least 70 years old and when the time came, I didn't have the heart to get rid of it. Now, she's GORGEOUS and I have it in my office so I can enjoy it all day long. :-)

    Emblem

    My family just received our favorite rocking chair that has been in the family for years from this company. We are so happy with the result as they did exactly what we wanted and it came out beautifully! We wanted stripes and they line up perfectly. Thank you MJs!

    Newly redone ottoman. Cat approved, too :-)

    Great service. Excellent quality and craftsmanship. I took my well used, twenty year old ottoman to MJ Custom Upholstery for a redo. I wasn't really sure what I wanted but they showed me many different samples/examples/fabric swatches and discussed what they could do and gave me some great ideas. I finally settled for this one (picture below) which I absolutely love. I'm sure I'll get another twenty years from this one. I already plan on returning with my dining room chairs to have them reupholstered as well. Highly recommend!

    If you're looking for upholstery work look no further this is the place! Eric and his family are so warm, kind, helpful, and reliable. In today's world you don't find this very often. From our first interaction we knew we were in the right spot. They have a large selection of fabrics to choose from and Eric was very helpful at explaining the different types and what would be best for our families everyday wear and tear. They picked up our sectional and delivered it when completed taking the stress away from us. We will definitely coming back! Please support this business and kind family. If I could give more stars I would!!!!!!!!!

From the moment I arrived, the experience was outstanding. They understood exactly what needed to be done and got right to work. They didn't just glue it back together -- they reinforced the structure with nails and added hidden supports underneath to make sure it could handle real weight. And to top it off, they did it fast -- I was blown away by how quickly and professionally they turned it around. The craftsmanship is excellent. The drawer feels sturdier than it ever did. And they were warm, honest, and straightforward about the repair process and cost. If you have any furniture or cabinet repair -- especially those small but frustrating jobs most big places won't even look at -- SM Furniture Repair is the real deal. Old-school skill, great service, and fair pricing. Highly recommended!

Now I have to find a different company to help and this company stole money from me. I will NEVER use them again nor do I recommend them. This company's communication came out to repair a lift recliner chair. The technician, a very nice man, reported that the problem was a wire under the chair. He claimed to have repaired the wire and fixed the chair. I paid him $125. The next morning, when the chair was used again, it once again failed to decline after lifting. I called the company back and reported the chair was not fixed. They got back to me two days later. Then they requested more pictures of the chair in order to schedule a technician to return. I sent them immediately via email. I also told them via email, voicemail & text that it was the Control Box under the chair and to have the technician bring a control box on his vehicle. The company never acknowledged this information. And the technician did NOT have a control box with him when he showed up a week later. Once there, he reported it was indeed the control box and he now had to order the part which could take up to two weeks to receive and 2-4 weeks to come back and install it. AND he wanted to charge me an additional $185 for the part. Their rate for a diagnostic is supposed to be $50. I paid $125 already. And 2-4 weeks? This chair is my mom's only chair and it still doesn't work. Wtf did I pay for? So...instead of fixing the chair, I decided not to. Why sink over $300 into an old chair when a new chair is less than $500? That makes no sense. This company's customer service is non-existent. They don't answer their phone and everything is robotic about the experience. While the technician was nice enough, he did not do the job correctly and preferred to argue when I called him out on it. I maintain that I will not use them again.
