    Before

    Rene and his team did an amazing job reupholstering my sofa and two ottomans! Rene was prompt at responding to my messages, and they were able to complete the job in a timely manner at a competitive price. They added new padding to the sofa - it looks brands new!

    Did great work on my mission style sofa. It could not be better. So we are very happy with the work. And Rene was very easy to work with. Just be sure to check the price of the material beforehand so you don't get sticker shock.

    Rene did a great job with our linen sofa! It had down feathers that were in a casing inside the cushions, but the casing had disintegrated over time. So the feathers were coming out of the cushions, prickling us regularly, and making our loving room floor look like we had attacked a chicken. Rene made new casings and stuffed the pillows with new down. Now there's no more prickly chicken problems and the sofa is plump and comfy! The casing inside is well-made with quality fabric, the down is full and heavy, and the line/ shape/ aesthetic of the sofa looks new again. I was drawn to Rene's reviews online because he sounded like a real person. I was hoping to find a "these are the people in your neighborhood" vibe with someone who does great work near our house. Rene is that person! Yelp made me contact four other places when I reached out to Rene through Yelp. I also called him and left a message. The other Yelp businesses kindly responded quickly via Yelp, but Rene was the fastest. Plus he called me back too. Some people don't want to talk on the phone and only text, and some want the opposite. It worked out that he did both with me. He's comfy communicating in whatever way is good for his clients. I'm tired of automated things, so I was extra grateful to talk to someone! He made it easy for me to ask questions and he answers honestly, clearly, and with a love for his craft. Thanks Rene!

    Great quality, prompt service! Their pick up and delivery service was excellent. Everything was so convenient! I would recommend to all my friends and family

    Rene did a beautiful job with my French antiques. I have six chairs from the 19th century that were so unstable they were scary to sit on, but now they're firm, maybe even a bit bouncy. I still don't know how Rene and his crew managed to get all those hundreds of little round brass pins in just the right places. Amazing.

    Rene picked up my two armchairs and did excellent work at a fair price! I would use him again if I had more furniture to reupholster!

    I have never ever left anything but good reviews on here, but the experience I just had with Cane &…read moreBasket Supply left me feeling genuinely taken advantage of and insulted. I brought two cane cesca style chairs to this place for a repair quote on January 5th. When I arrived, Susan and Fred quoted me approximately $85-90/chair, they also volunteered that they would even polish the legs where the chrome was rusting. The quoted timeline was approx. 2 weeks. Sounds great! Next step they said would be a follow up call in one week with an exact quote once their guy was back in and could look at them. No call. I followed up myself two weeks later, and was told it would be an additional 2 weeks. No quote yet. Ok, no problem, I said. They must be busy. 6 weeks later, still no call. I followed up again on 2/13 and was finally given a quote - $400 - over double the original quoted price. I pointed this out to Susan on the phone and her verbatim response was "I'm sorry numbers are confusing." I swear to god lol. They came down to $300 all-in after seeing I was clearly unhappy with the price gouging, but that is still $100 over their original quote! When I went to pick up the chairs - first, the legs were not polished as Susan and Fred originally promised. Their demeanor, including Everado, was instantly hostile as they snickered at me despite the fact that I was nothing but polite. I wanted to say "What is going on here? How old are you and what makes you think it's ok to treat someone, let alone a customer like this?" I'm the youngest person of the three of them by about 30 years probably and they were acting like poorly behaved children. Maybe they felt they could get away with treating me like this because of my age? A final slap in the face, when I went to pay, I asked if they took credit card, to which they said "yes, but it will charge us a fee." Ok, I said, fine with me. Everado then insisted that I pay via Zelle or cash, despite them admitting to having the capability to take credit card. The message essentially being "yes, we take credit card, but not for you". If there's another place that does this in LA, I'd say go there. The work they do is fine, even good, but save yourself the pain of having to deal with these grown up children.

Samuel and Lydia of Sully Restoration are such a truly lovely couple, and the entire experience was a pleasure from start to finish. This piece is a deeply cherished family heirloom that has been passed down through generations, from my great-grandfather, grandmother, and parents. It has collected years of wear and tear, and it recently traveled across the country to my current home, suffering significant damage along the way. Honestly, I was heartbroken and worried it might be beyond repair. Samuel brought this piece back to life in a way that feels like magic. The meticulousness and artistry of his work are truly incredible. The restoration plan was complex, and he executed every point with perfect skill. Here is a list of just some of the intricate work that was completed: - Replaced 5 of the 14 broken, "waved" glass windows with perfectly matching period-accurate glass. - Replaced and consolidated the old, damaged glass sealant. - Reinstalled and consolidated the glass frames and rods on the cabinet front. - Re-glued loose veneer, including the topboard of the cabinet. - Grafted the edges of the drawers, adding wood to repair fresh broken, and missing pieces. - Re-glued a broken drawer and consolidated all drawer bottoms, making adjustments and even adding fabric underneath for a smooth, protective finish. - Re-adjusted all drawers so they slide perfectly. - Expertly filled cracks on the drawer fronts, top right, and right side. - Provided a perfectly fitted key for the bottom drawers. - Consolidated the right door, making the frame steady and secure. - Completed a full refinishing of the drawers, including deep cleaning and fixing the discolored bottom two. - Performed a complete cleaning of the existing varnish. - Finished the piece with a gorgeous, hand-applied waxed varnish. The final result is absolutely breathtaking. The cabinet is functional and sturdy again, but most importantly, Samuel brought it back to beautiful while masterfully preserving its deep, authentic patina. It still tells its full history and looks like it belongs in the 19th century, just without the damage. I will cherish it forever. Thank you, Samuel and Lydia! I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Lydia and her husband, Samuel, assessed the damage at their workshop (I believe they can also assess from photos if needed). The turnaround time was about two weeks--including a holiday--which felt impressively quick. The result is absolutely stunning. The table stands perfectly again, and they added a wax finish that brings out the wood's natural shine. Now I need to bring in the second end table for some TLC because it looks a little dull in comparison! Thank you, Lydia and Samuel, for your hard work and the care you put into each piece. I highly recommend Sully Restoration for all your furniture needs.

After over 10 years of owning them, the fabric on my sofa bed started to fall apart, because it was never meant to be used as a daily couch, and the other sofa looked worse for wear with bad microfiber fabric and damaged cushions/edging. I reached out to Chimos in Nov '24 and Joselyn came to my home and gave me an estimate based on my choice of fabric and some recommendations to help improve the function of the couch. To my surprise, they were able to pick it up later that same day to get started. It took a little under 4 weeks and I was thrilled with the final result. It's been over a year and it hardly seems like it's been sat on, even though it's my main couch. I was so happy at the quality of the job, that I reached out to Joselyn a month later asking if she could come and give me an estimate for the 2nd sofa. This one was not just a straight reupholster, I asked if they could re-design the sofa itself, by incorporating some padding on the arms, changing the foam to be more comfortable, adding legs, and fixing some of the frame so it could look similar to the first one. Again, they were able to pick it up the same day, and even though there were more changes, it took half as long as the first one, and they delivered it promptly. Their team who picked up and dropped off was also very professional, and they were so kind about having to carry both couches up and down the stairs to my apartment, since my building doesn't have an elevator. Overall, I am so so happy with both couches; they now look like a sibling set. Reupholstering is definitely pricey, and I had to save up for it but I'm thrilled with the quality of the work and now I know these will last years more. If I ever have a need to get anything else reupholstered, I'll definitely be calling Chimo's again. ¡Gracias Joselyn y el equipo de Chimo's!

I got several quotes from yelp and though Tony wasn't the cheapest he went well above and beyond to deliver what I wanted. The moment I met him I felt pure honesty and sincerity pouring from him which ultimately made me decide on him, despite his workmanship being equally amazing. I am what you call a difficult client, but he would not stop until I was happy. I had a specific leather color that I wanted and for a week he went all around The greater Los Angeles until he could deliver what I wanted. Although I ended up not liking the color of my sofa (not his fault, but mine. I picked the wrong shade), I was so impressed by how lovely he made my sofa that I quickly started to get used to it and "made lemonade." I will definitely be using him again to reupholster my dining room chairs. From the quick response, to picking up my couch, to the turn around of 4 days once he got my leather, I wish I could give him 10 stars! I highly recommend! You will not be disappointed. You can see the before and after of my sectional from a beat up gray cloth to a smart vintage brown leather!
