"Hi (removed member name), Thanks for the great review! Hope you enjoy your recliner for many years to come. David"
Re: the current problem - our 2 year old sofa had stitches that were coming apart in several places. Dave assessed the situation and said he could repair it, but also informed us that the sofa should have held up much longer. He went to bat for us with the sofa company. Within a week we got a call from the sofa company and they are replacing our sofa!! Way to go Dave. You are amazing!! Thanks so much!!
A little background: we bought a house at the end of December, and found a couch we really liked to go in the finished basement. This is our first house and we didn't think to measure the staircase, assuming any piece of furniture we chose would just fit. Much to our chagrin, this was not the case. The couch we bought was too big to go down into our basement in one piece (believe me, we tried). For about a week, I intended to live with the basement couch staying upstairs in our living room. That was, until I did some Googling around and found that others have had furniture upholstery professionals perform "surgery" on their couches to take them apart, get them through tight spots, then reassemble them in the destination room.
So, with that background, I contacted a few furniture upholstery companies and asked if they could do my couch disassembly & reassembly.
David was by far the most responsive and helpful. He asked for pictures of the couch and a description of where I wanted it to go, and then promptly provided a quote, which I found to be quite reasonable. He told me upfront that there would be a short wait because he was catching up from his busy season. I accepted that because, hey, the couch wasn't going anywhere.
A couple of weeks later, David showed up on the originally scheduled date, right on time and ready to go. He got right to work, and after about an hour and a half, and lots of scary noises from the sawzall, he was ready and we took the couch pieces down into the basement, where he proceeded to reassemble it back into one piece. About an hour later, I had my couch back to better-than-new condition (it seemed more solid) and in the basement, as originally intended! If you weren't told, you'd never know it had been cut up and put back together.
Overall David was very professional and did a great job, and in the end his price was LOWER than his original quote!
Whenever we move (hopefully not for a long time), I'll be looking to him first to get the couch back out of our basement.
I highly recommend David and his company.
I contacted the business through their website, and got a response in a few hours. We exchanged emails, I sent photographs of the chairs and David was able to assess the problem and suggest an alternative repair. By the end of the second day, we had set up an appointment. His assistant called the day before to confirm, and give me a 2-3 hour window of arrival. He arrived on the dot.
Let me just say that David Roseman is exactly the repair expert you'd want in your house. He's professional, skilled and fun to talk to. He had the first chair in pieces on the floor in a matter of minutes. Screws, bolts, frame, cushions, reclining mechanism -- all were laid out in order, while he removed the leather upholstery and springs from the frame. It looked as though the chair had exploded. Before long, though, he had completely installed flexible webbing to replace the springs, added an additional layer of high-density foam, and reassembled the chair.
Then, he did it all over again to the other chair! The price was more than fair. and it took about 90 minutes.
So, here we sit. Absolutely over the moon in our matching leather recliners. It has been three years since we've been this comfortable, knowing the repair was done right. We could not be more pleased with this experience!
My husband and I were very pleased with the improvement to the comfort of the seating area. For a relative small investment we will be able to get a few more years of comfortable seating from the sofa!
1. Dave is a thorough professional who knows what he is doing and does it perfectly.
2. He always--I mean always--has arrived exactly on the day and time specified.
3. He is flexible in scheduling.
4. His prices are very good.
5. He can repair not only mechanisms but also frames and upholstery, too.
6. He is extremely responsive by phone or email.
7. He fixes the problem, which is, after all, why you hired him.
In addition, Dave is a pleasure to work with. He is whip smart and has an amazing memory for who you are, where you live, and all the details about your furniture problems. Here's the biggest compliment I can pay him. When La-Z-Boy corporate wanted to know why I wasn't using their repairman for a warranty repair, I told them I wouldn't trust anyone but Dave and would rather pay for Dave's service than get what they offered for free, especially since they could only come on every third Wednesday between the hours of 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM...
You won't regret using Dr. Furniture for your repairs. Just leave time on Dave's schedule for me!
