He always does a good job. He's extremely fastidious. He's very particular. you can count on him to do it right the first time. He never hunts for business. I have a lot of furniture and some of the things are hand me downs from friends. The recliner was one of those and once we got the coat off of it, it was golden oak and turned out to be a beautiful piece of furniture. It takes him forever to get something done but I don't care. He can tell whatever time he needs as far as I'm concerned. His price is a little tiny bit on the high side buts its so worth it. He has a great selection of upholstery materials too.

Worked with me to help me keep within my budget.
Ordered larger fabric sample sizes for me to look at.
Firmed up framing of furniture.
Made sure new seat padding was comfortable before applying new upholstery.
Communicated effectively throughout process.
Finished project earlier than estimated.
Quality of craftsmanship is outstanding!
My old Ethan Allen furniture is probably good for another 17 years!
Mr. Garber was always friendly and kind.

We met with a few different upholsterers and decided on Alex.
His pricing was comparable but he was very up front about what he thought the furniture needed.  some of the other people we met gave us a price and really did not discuss any details.
Mr. Garber was very easy to work with.  He was very professional.  Our loveseats look incredible.   Even better than we thought they would look.  We had strongly considered buying new furniture but could not find anything we liked better that was new so decided to go forward with reupholstering.  The fabric was a detailed pattern and he matched it perfectly at every seam.  He added padding where needed.  His pricing is fair.  He explained what could be done and he would do what we wanted.  We were very very picky about the particular fabric we wanted and he worked with us on this.
Once he had our furniture he had it ready in a couple of weeks, which was sooner than expected.

They did a very nice job and made a pillow from the extra material. It may take some time to get your item back but it is worth it.

Exceptional job!  Alex Garber reupholstered our chairs with extremely great quality workmanship.  We brought our kitchen chiars to him thinking only the fabric would be replaced. Instead the complete chair was reworked and replaced so that the chairs are better than they were when they were brand new.  When we saw what a fantastic job was being done on the chairs we brought him an antique rocker to redo.  The cushions of the old mission oak rocker were redone in leather.  The chair frame was glued and fixed.  It really looks fantastic!  In addition to the upholstery, Alex has a re-finisher he works with who did the wood parts of our kitchen chairs and the rocker frame.  That was also exceptional work.  The overall cost of the work we had done was high but I gave price an "A" rating because you have to expect to pay for work of this quality.  Alex Garber Upholstery provides a quality of workmanship that is rarely seen in this day and age.  In addition to the great work, there is a showroom full of fabrics to choose from that is phenomenal!  Obviously we were very pleased with our experience and we plan on taking another chair and a footstool to be re-done in the near future.

It went very well. Mr. Garber was efficient about discussing my proposed work, examining the chairs, providing an estimate and doing the work. The work was completed on time, and the price ended up being just as he had promised. We are very pleased with the results.

Garber has reupholstered a sofa, love seat, and 6 dining chairs over the past 10 years.  We will go back to him when it's time to do this again.  He listens to our needs, makes excellent suggestions, and is eager for us to be pleased with the finished product.  The quality of workmanship is impeccable.  I continue to be pleased with the finished product and recommend him to one and all who need furniture reupholstered.

Mr. Garber is a true artist. 
He meticulously fashioned a new chair and ottoman from what was an
eyesore.  I chose a large scale pattern,
which Mr. Garber painstakingly applied to optimize the beauty of the design.
Mr. Garber called me into the store prior to constructing
the chair cushion and ottoman padding. 
He was extremely patient as I tried out various cushions, making sure
that my chair would be comfortable for me, as well as beautiful.  And it is just that?beautiful and extremely comfortable.  In addition, due to a back problem, I require
a pillow behind my back.  Mr. Garber
worked with me to find the perfect shape and size pillow.    I was surprised to receive an expertly crafted
matching pillow and arm covers when my chair and ottoman were delivered.
Mr. Garber and his staff are a pleasure to work with.  Marina was very helpful at the store, and
Dmitri did a great job with pick-up and delivery.
I most definitely recommend A. Garber Upholstery.  You can trust Alex Garber to do a perfect job!
