Two years ago, I contacted Alfred Nesbitt to see if he was interested and available to re-upholster two living room wing chairs that I fell in love with at Next to New, a consignment shop, in Mount Pleasant. (I randomly selected his name among a list of referrals provided by the front desk at N2N.) Well, it wasn't exactly that simple ... I actually needed him to pick up the chairs at the store the next day ... and hold them at his shop until I found and ordered the perfect fabric. He replied, "No problem" and assured me that my chairs would be safe in his shop until I was ready to move forward. (I did advance a reasonable deposit.) Well, it took me more than three months to find suitable fabric and for the custom order to arrive. As I was still working, Mr. Nesbitt graciously picked up the roll of fabric at my home, turned the job around in a matter of days and delivered the chairs and unused fabric back to my home. Hey, I'm a stickler for detail ... so when I say both chairs look great ... you can rest assured, they did ... and the price was fair.
Flash forward two + years ... the fabric on the top of the covered bench in front in our bed needed some 'refreshing' so, I put the bench and unused fabric from the chairs in my car and headed to Nesbitt Upholstery. It was a bit tricky to find as there's no signage on Highway 17 North, but, Mr. Nesbitt's directions were simple, "Turn onto the driveway between the yellow house and Gerald's Tires ... if you pass Gerald's, you've gone too far." Soon after I made that right turn I saw the sign for Nesbitt Upholstery, knew that I was at the right place. Alfred met me outside his shop (the garage), he unloaded the bench and fabric and I went on my way. That was Friday, July 3. I received a call this morning (July 6) that my bench was ready and picked it up right after lunch. It looked brand new! I have a bit more fabric and considering some pillows. Who am I gonna call? Alfred Nesbitt, of course! read more
