Please note the phone number given is a masked number and not allowed to accept texts or direct calls. To do so please call 708-409-5100 or 708-774-1946 or email [email protected]. Since 1923, we manufacture, refinishing, restoration, reupholstering, custom furniture & sales, bent glass, beveled mirrors & leather tops, & caning. Come and see our restored antiques, antique reproductions, and genuine Capodimonte lamps and giftware from Italy. Solve your heirloom and antique problems with complete restoration. We do not fix, repair or reupholster motion furniture or recliners as well as upholstery, spring, and leather repairs. Bring back the original character of your old masterpieces. Period furniture is our specialty, but not our limitation. Removers and strippers can damage the luster and character of the wood. At Montalbano these are never used. Instead we use a specially formulated thinner to completely dissolve the old finish as if it never existed. The item is then taken apart as necessary, re-glued, repaired, completely hand sanded and prepared for its new twelve step finish which is second to none. We are specialists in water, fire and insurance work. We offer free factory estimates and home estimates are available. Pickup and delivery is available. Our other services offered include; leather replacement and bent glass doors, caning as well as expert reupholstering with our 10,000 piece fabric gallery. Manufacture, refinishing, restoration, reupholstering, custom furniture & sales, bent glass, beveled mirrors & leather tops, & caning. We also reglue, repair, and reupholster kitchen and dining room chairs, including animal damage- ie chew marks in the wood. We have changed location so kindly call and make an appointment to look at your needs. We are not always onsite. No mechanical, electrical, motion, rips, and tear repairs.

"Professional and well done. Handled furniture with care. Good selection of materials for reupholstering. Picked up and delivered the eight dining room chairs promptly, professionally and courteously."

"Steve did an absolutely beautiful job, and I couldn't be happier with it! He came to the house (which was so convenient) and his pricing was very reasonable. He was courteous, punctual, professional, and a true craftsman. My ottoman especially had so many cracks and Steve did wonders with it. I will certainly 100% hire him again for any project and I highly recommend his work."

Same owner since 1969. See fabrics in your home. Call owner Dave for free consultation & estimate. We have 2 locations for your Upholstery needs in located Dupage and Cook County (Lombard store 630-627-0016 or Chicago store 773-465-1300).

"After trying to replace our old couch with a new one we were very unhappy with, we decided to reupholster our beloved family room sectional. Dave quickly stopped by to look over the job and give a quote. He brought fabric selections to us and even brought a second batch when we were having a difficult time making a choice. We also asked if the cushions could be replaced and if the area that gets the most use could get added support. All requests were no problem. The quote on price and delivery time were met and Dave delivered our couch to us looking shiny and new. Extra buttons for the tufting and extra material ( in case we were to experience any future damage) were supplied, which was a greatly appreciated extra! The entire process was smooth and pleasant. Dave is a really nice guy who knows his business. We are very happy that Upholstery World gave our favorite old couch a new life."

Furniture Refinishing questions, answered by experts

Wood can appear blotchy after staining due to uneven absorption, which happens when the wood has varying grain density. The denser the grain, the less the stain will be absorbed. This can cause the wood to appear uneven in color, with some areas darker than others. 

To prevent this issue, apply a wood conditioner before staining. Wood conditioners help to equalize the absorption of the stain, resulting in a more even finish. There are many different types of wood conditioners available, so be sure to choose one that is appropriate for the type of wood you are staining.

Strat decluttering for the holidays by removing trash and organizing items into different piles that you’ll keep, donate and toss out. Whatever you intend to keep, find a specific place for it, and if you buy something, get rid of an item that’s taking up space. Start small, go room-by-room, and don’t try to declutter all at once—doing so can get overwhelming.

Yes, you can tackle small rooms yourself if you're handy and have a flat, clean subfloor to work with. But seams must be sealed properly, or the barrier will fail. Any gaps will let moisture sneak through and defeat the purpose of installing this more expensive type of carpet padding. For larger rooms or areas, professional installation is usually worth the extra cost.

For small, simple pieces that aren’t antiques, a professional furniture refinisher can usually refinish a piece in two to three hours, while larger pieces—like bed frames and full dining sets—could take several days. Your refinishing professional should be able to give you an estimated timeline for the work before getting started so that you can plan to be without your furniture during the process. Antique furniture might require additional time and take a week or more to refinish, as they require special care to avoid damage.

It's perfectly fine to just refinish the top of your table instead of all of it. In fact, that's what most people do. After all, why finish the bottom of the table that nobody ever sees? Of course, depending on how exposed the legs of your table are, you might at least consider refinishing them.
