    I work for an apartment complex and needed to have some booths redone in our cafe area. (4 total) Monroe was wonderful. He came out took measurements. Showed me different fabrics to choose from. He picked the seats up Thursday morning and delivered them Friday morning. I can say his service was extremely fast. The payment process was easy. I paid online and received my receipt immediately. Monroe even worked with my price budget. If I need any upholstery in the future I will surely call Monroe!

    Five stars in the end for the quality of the work and pricing. William is aware that he ghosted me and validated my sincere concerns that I had been beyond frustrated and ready to seek counsel. He now seems to have backup communication secured if he gets severely ill during the process of a project, which of course hopefully never happens! Initally I gave zero stars. William picked up my chair and 10 yards of expensive fabric and trim in February, was communicative, and then stopped responding to any communication in early April. After I posted my initial negative review in late May/early June, he reached out telling me he had been extremely ill and the person who was supposed to be taking care of his affairs had completely dropped the ball. He promised the chair by the end of this week (the week of 6/11), and indeed dropped the chair off today. The quality of the work is superb, and I honestly would use him again if assured communication would not abruptly cease again. The chair has been in my family for over 40 years, I picked an intricate geometric pattern for the fabric and requested a few updates to the style, and he delivered beautifully. The seam matches are gorgeous, and I was given a fair discount considering the ghosting during his illness and very extended project timeline. Despite everything, I did tip him as the price significantly beat any other quotes, I am VERY picky about upholstery work, and I am thrilled with the outcome. I'll post before and afters below.

    Mr. Monroe has an outstanding upholstery business. Working with him was such a pleasure and I will never go anywhere else. I used Yelp for the entire shopping experience. Mr Monroe sent me a link to look at fabrics and then helped me get 5 samples delivered so that I could see them in my setting. Current and excellent fabric selection, pickup and delivery of my chair. I chose to not redo the arms because this chair has history in our family and I wanted to leave the loved on look! Contact Mr. Monroe, for your next upholstery project!THANK YOU SIR, you are THE BEST!!!

    I am so happy with the way that my chair and ottoman turned out. They look so much better than what I was expecting. The process to get a quote was simple, and the price was very competitive. I asked around and Monroe's Upholstery seemed like the best value - especially since it included pickup and delivery. He included that in the price while others charge extra for that. I love how the chair turned out - Monroe's upholstery gave it new life!

    Amazing work. Communicative and 10/10 job. Wonderful pricing. If you're going anything custom I'd highly recommend.

    After!

I was having it re-upholstered (by Jose at Austin Furniture Upholstery), and Jose discovered It was practically falling apart. He directed me to Robert for restoration. With Robert's magic (and soon Jose's final upholstery), our rocker will remain a family treasure for generations to come. Thank you, Robert! You are my go-to person for all future projects.

The finish on the kitchen table had become very sticky over the years and there didn't appear to be any easy way to get that fixed. Over time, the extra extensions for the table had even faded to a slightly different shade. Robert at Austin Woodwright gave us a really good assessment, stated what he could do, and gave us a couple of alternatives for the finish. Several weeks later, the table was done and was gorgeous. The table top and extensions looked like new, same shade, and a nice hard lacquered finish (he told us what he used, but I forget now). Anyway, thumbs up. We'll be bringing some other pieces down over the coming months. For what it's worth, this type of service can be pricey, but the work, the result, and the service were worth it. Finally, to say this place is hidden off the road is an understatement.. the road sign is very small, and it's very easy to drive by on the way south. The shop is back off the road in a little turn-about with several other small businesses.

At the onset of project, I actually asked Scott if the job was within his wheelhouse as I sensed he was somewhat lacking in knowledge and skill during our consultation. However Scott assured me he could easily handle the installation and claimed he had significant experience with similar projects. In retrospect, this was an exaggeration at best and more likely an outright falsehood and misrepresentation. The cabinetmaker, Classic Design Cabinets in Elgin, delivered the cabinets to Scott and organized them by room as the job spanned multiple spaces within my home. When Classic Design Cabinets visited him again for a second delivery later, they found the previous delivery scattered across Mr. Duncan's shop in a completely disorganized fashion. Sensing the potential issues this could pose for my installation, they offered to help Scott reorganize the pieces. He only scoffed at them and rebuffed their effort. They actually contacted me to express their concern for his utter lack of organization and professional competence. Then came the actual installation, which was plagued by substandard workmanship and lacking in every sense of professionalism. The issues were numerous and glaringly evident. My kitchen cabinets were supposed to be clear coat only, but Scott failed to sand them between coats or even fill the nail holes, leaving unsightly pockmarks and defects visible. Even the painted cabinets in my laundry room have visible quality issues because he didn't sand properly between coats or fill any nail holes. His utter disorganization led to some doors being installed on the incorrect cabinets or lacking the correct paint. To add insult to an already painful injury, it took him 6 months to even complete his inferior work. Throughout the process Scott was constantly regurgitating excuse after excuse for the slow pace and shoddy workmanship. When I attempted to raise concerns about the "finished product" he got extremely angry and hung up on me. Scott even went as far as to show up my house, unannounced, demanding payment for the terrible work under the influence of alcohol. Talk about unprofessional! I would not recommend Scott Duncan of the Woodist to anyone for cabinetwork. He was not capable of the job and his poor workmanship is now a constant reminder of the regrettable decision of hiring him. Even worse, his lack of professionalism and inability to communicate with his client were startling. If you want my honest opinion, run, run fast.
