| - The sectional I *really* wanted cost over $3,000 and the furniture store couldn't deliver it for 8 weeks. I needed it in 4. So I found the exact same sectional, that was used, but still in great shape. The cushions, however, were just sad and beat up and ugly. I spent too many hours online researching about upholstery and now I know A LOT about fabrics and foam. haha. I'd never upholstered anything in my life. At first I was going to buy new fabric cushions online, but that would still take 3-4 weeks and I was running out of time. Plus I didn't trust fabric I couldn't touch/see in person, nor was I comfortable with my measuring skillz. The sectional is huge and from my research I knew it'd be pricey. I went on yelp. I found one place, but the fabric was just OK, not what I wanted, and the guy was kinda rude. Another place I went to, the price was eye-popping. o.O I was ready to give up.
I found Oscar's Upholstery on here, which had fewer reviews than the rest, but were all 5 star. I was frustrated with the whole process by then, but wanted to get out of the office. Since his locale is close to my work I went up to see what he could offer.
First off, he greeted me with a smile and shook my hand even as I waltzed in telling him what I needed without taking a breath. Immediately, to my shock, he had the exact fabric I was looking for. Then I held my breath for the price. My day got better! It was more than reasonable and way more my price range!!! He had it done in a week (all 8 of the back cushions and the HUGE 4 seat cushions). He also had me bring in my old cushions so he could stuff them for me. :D I can't express how relieved I am to have found Oscar. He did amazing work so fast and I'm ecstatic with the results!! I now have a go-to upholstery guy and will tell all my friends about him. He's personable, professional, and a man of his craft! Truly a 5 star find. See my before & after pics. It looks exactly like the sectional I wanted from the store, at a fraction of the price. SO HAPPY!
