This 3rd generation company deserves an Olympic gold rating for its customer service, knowledgeable staff, high-quality fabrics and workmanship. Last fall, they reupholstered 1 set of designer dining chairs and 1 set of kitchen chairs with durable and stylish fabric. The results were superior to their original state. They are truly unique in their personal attention to detail, unending patience and customer wishes.
