I recently moved to the West Hartford area and needed a lot of fabric for new home projects. I had…read morebeen going to Ehrlich Decorating & Upholstery in Hartford and was beyond pleased with their selection; their customer service was also top notch. But there was a specific fabric I couldn't find at Ehrlich's so I had to go looking for another source. Mila had MUCH more fabric on hand. They also have a lot of fabric you can order - about the same amount as Ehrlich's, but different kinds. After spending months (literally) trying to find a specific fabric at Ehrlich's, Jo Anne's, etc, I found it in 15 minutes at Mila. The only downside to Mila is that the owner (I presume) lacks social grace and customer service skills. I found him to be pushy and incredibly condescending (and not just to me). I also had the distinct feeling he was rushing me and trying to avoid having to place a custom order. He's the type, you know, who is always right and you're an idiot. I hate those types! I would have given this 5 stars if it weren't for the owner. If you're looking for a robust alternative to your usual fabric/upholstery place, try Mila, but try to work with one of the women. Hopefully they won't roll their eyes at you...

He came from a time I remember when people relied on the expertise of the owner who knew their business before the mass market stores. He is a know-it-all because he does!

He may not be smooth but I know that he is doing his best for every customer. If you want the right fabric for the right job and want it done right. You can count on Milas. The ladies he has there are not just clerks they all have extensive experience and are very helpful.

I went there many years for sewing machine repair, I never knew they didn't repair them on-site. And this last time they simply said a part broke, didn't say which part, and it was un repairable, I understand it was a vintage machine. Also pieces of my machine were missing when I got it home. Maybe used on another repair. And they get $40.00 upfront and that is not refundable even though they didn't do squat to your machine.

What a scam to charge people more. Needless to say, they never called me back as she promised. I found the part elsewhere! Never again.

I had a wonderful, helpful conversation with the owner, Linda, who guided me through the process and offered her suggestions. Linda's store has an endless selection of fabrics so it could have been an overwhelming experience. It was not! Linda helped me narrow down my search and after a very short time searching through books of fabrics I found exactly what I was looking for. I purchased the fabric with lining as well as the hardware. We had her staff install the finished product and we are so pleased with the result. Her prices are competitive and because she's a small neighborhood store, I felt very well taken care of. If you need window treatments, decorative pillows or anything at all to do with fabric, this is the store for you.

I asked the a lot of people I know and at work for recommendations and came up empty. So I searched online, came up to a great yelp review on Imperial Decorating. I decided I'd give it a try although I had an appointment for an estimate with another upholstery shop. After several emails correspondences, I finally drove to meet with Joe. Upon entry, I was greeted with warmth. My consultation with Joe was so great, I canceled my other appointment immediately. Fast forward to a few short weeks, my beautiful green sofa was delivered and I fell in love with it. Joe was meticulous about everything...the fabric selection, the nailheads and the cushions' firmness for my petite frame. Everything! I love that Joe was respectful of my budget. Lastly, I was beyond pleased with the delivery. I simply loved my experience with the team at imperial decorating and I would recommend them to anyone.
