First of all we’ve got a huge couch, leather, a lighter mustard. But we have a cat who loves leather!
We moved into our new home and bought this couch because the cat clawed up our last one.
The cat decided to tear this one up too!
We didn’t have to move a thing. We got a house call and the couch looks new after a two step process (some sanding and painting I believe). Surprised because the color is so light.
Now our leather seats were reupholstered, also damaged by our cat. We were told where to go and pick out affordable material and these seats were picked up and returned brand new. The seats were stitched up like new.
amazing work! thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

David is not just an upholsterer, he is an artist. His attention to detail and aesthetic sensibility help him take an ordinary piece and make it extraordinary. Not only that, he’s a stand-​up guy and is honest, fair, and friendly. A pleasure to do business with…

We recently took our rickety and well used dining room table and chairs to Nicholson for refurbishing. Not only did the owner, David give us a fair price, he told us where to shop for quality inexpensive upholstery fabric for the chairs. David restored the dinged-​up wood to a beautiful finish, padded and recovered the chairs with the fabric that we selected and best of all the table and chairs are sturdy again — no more wobble. This is like getting a new table and chairs for Thanksgiving without losing decades of wonderful family memories! We highly recommend Nicholson Upholstery. The owner is an honest broker who got our table back to us well in advance of Thanksgiving. I’d add a picture but there’s no place to upload one.

Great work, my sofa came out beautifully. David helped me find wonderful fabric at a less expensive price. Guests to my house always compliment the sofa.

He was very responsive, gave a fair price and communicated with me that he was running late on the date of expected service. Showed up, did a great job and I would definitely recommend him going forward. Just for reference, he replaced 3 bar stool cushions and they look professionally done… instead of throwing out your good furniture, just have it redone like I did… he was great and obviously knows what he is doing.

He had my sofa for 3 weeks during which time he gave updates on his progress. The day before I was to pick it up he sent me a text telling me he farmed it out to someone else and they need 2 – 3 more weeks to finish. First I was never told he was not going to do the work and second he lied to me for the 3 weeks he had the sofa. I picked it up and took it somewhere else. This so called business is nothing but a scam
