M & C Upholstery Supply

These guys were so helpful and reasonably priced — full of advice for our project. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for personal and quick service, and a wide range of options. Very honest folks. So glad I came here and not the other options in the area.

Simple work front, crappy street parking.
This isn’t a public friendly place, if you come here you should know what you want or be prepared with photographs. I found it a breeze to go in and buy what I needed and had photographs for things I didn’t know the terms for. Customer service is friendly for what it is, a client to client work space, not a «public access» supply company.
They saved my butt and my budget for offering to cover my new couch buttons for me at a good price. 1″ inch buttons/​30 cents each.
Plus: they take credit cards and they have tools too, not just fabrics, foam, hardware.
Edit: Based on the bad reviews here, I’d say the practice of pricing based on your income/​appearance is alive and well in LA everywhere, so go in dressed like a slob DIY artist and you’ll get a deal. It goes both ways baby, dress like a letch and you can’t take a test drive in a shiny BMW. That’s life, just ask Oprah about her purse collection.

These guys are great! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great products and fast service and great prices. I will be back to see them for my next project! I came in here for tacking boards and polyester bond batting for some panels I am upholstering. In and out for less than 10 bucks!

I bought a bunch of supplies here today for a DIY upholstery project. The guy who helped me find everything I need was super helpful and patient and the prices seem to be very reasonable. Will definitely be back.

DO NOT SHOP HERE. I’ve been going to these clowns for years because I thought their prices were pretty good. Each time I would go back ALONE, I would find I’d get a fair price. I once sent one of my clients in alone — an affluent woman who dresses very nicely. These con men jacked up the price for her FOUR TIMES what I paid the week before. When I went back with her, they told me it must have been a mistake. Then, the last few times I went in with a nicely dressed client, they would automatically raise the prices to ridiculous amounts! These fools don’t have any visible prices on any inventory, so they raise them to whatever they feel like based on your appearance. All they care about is how much more money they can get from you. I finally got fed up the last time I went there and stumbled into ‘All Size Foam & Fabric’!! Thank the gods. NEVER AGAIN.

**I am a nice person, and if I had a bad review, I will usually chalk it up to a waiter who had a bad day, or a cook that was new — you know, give the business the benefit of the doubt… but this one, I have to write because its a moral thing and I cannot let my fellow Angelenos get taken advantage of**
I will NEVER go to this place again. I needed rubber webbing & clips for my sofa and I went to this place because it was open early and I could hit it up before work. I try to describe what I needed, and he (the owner or manager) didn’t really understand what I needed, so I said, «If this doesn’t work out, can I bring it back?» And he said sure, but I’ll have to charge a restocking fee of 10%. At the time, I thought that charging me 10% was silly because you just hang the rubber back on the hook (I could have done it), but hey — it would have been $ 6…not a huge deal.
Well, it didn’t work out, and so my husband offered to return it for me. He went, and he was told that their return «policy» was a 25% restocking fee!!! I didn’t tell my husband that they had told me 10%, so he just ate the 25% not knowing that they were being SHADY!!! UGH that makes me so mad!!! That stupid place cost me $ 20 for nothing! On principal, I will NEVER go back here again. I’d rather order from Amazon and pay a couple bucks in shipping. What crooks! AGH!!!
Oh and while I was there the first time, one of their workers asked if I needed any furniture work done. I told him I had 2 chairs dining room chairs I needed refinished, and he told me that he would do each chair for $ 250, as if it was a good price. I said, «uh, no way!» and he goes, «well, for you, I will do $ 160/​chair» — which is absolute ridiculousness because I can get it professionally done for about $ 80/​chair from nice furniture shops in Silverlake. Rip offs.

im a weekend upholstery warrior, and the guys at m&c were very nice and helpful even to a novice such as myself. Most everything is posted on the wall, so I didnt stumble talking for 20 minutes trying to describe what I needed, instead I could point with a dumb look on my face. They even do some light upholstery service from what I could gather. They kindly assembled 10 button covers for me for 50 cents a pop after I learned you needed a machine and 150 dollar accessory to do it properly. They also carry a lot of fabrics. When I finally get around to designing that couch, Ill definitely come back here.
