James Dinh, Uphosterer

In August, I delivered a recliner chair to Mr. Dinh's home in order to receive an estimate for his work to reupholster the chair. He estimated $200 and told me the amount of fabric to purchase. Mr. Dinh's shop is in his garage adjoining his home. He had reupholstered a chair for me in the past and did a beautiful job. I selected and purchased the fabric, delivered it to him, and in two weeks I picked up the completed chair. The work was perfectly performed. Very soon I delivered a leather chair requesting an estimate....It is a very large and comfortable chair that my cats had ruined by scratching the leather with their claws. He estimated $250 and told me the amount of fabric to purchase. I selected a rather wild floral pattern, an expensive fabric made in Spain. Mr. Dinh explained to me how he would organize the pattern on the chair. When I picked up the chair a week later, it was so totally beautiful....the patern was balanced, the work expertly completed. Mr. Dinh is a perfectionist, and he is concerned about charging a reasonable and affordable fee for his work. I have recommended him to friends, and they have all been very satisfied. I feel very fortunate to be one of his customers.
