Tran’s Fabrics & Upholstery

Reasonably priced got all 6 of my dining chairs done. He did great work and had it done in a timely manner. He’s very nice. Will be coming back to do my couch.

Went here based on reviews and I was a little skeptic about the the area, but I was glad to see they had loads of fabric to choose from. Then when I got an estimate about my couch set, I was very happy with the price. Way better than other reupholstery places I went to. The owner was very honest that holiday season was busy so to come after new years and that he’ll honor the price he gave me when I come back. Awesome customer service

We needed some dining room chairs recovered and spruced up, along with finding thicker pads. They are Scandinavian-​style, and impossible to replace for less than about $ 500 each, in online sites. Tran did a fantastic job recovering and adding thicker padding, did it in three days, and at a phenomenally low price. In addition, the people are friendly and very helpful. Tran and his hard working, honest, and friendly people will see us back. You have to be a little familiar with Riverside to find the shop (It is at a «five point» intersection in an old part of the city) — but worth the search!

Purchased a sofa & loveseat from a neighbor who was moving. Called around for prices to have them redone. Tran returned by call quickly and quoted me a price from pictures I emailed him. Tran had the best price the sofa & loveseat look amazing. Only took 2 weeks!

Tran reupholstered our leather chairs and couch and did a great job! Free pickup and delivery, no complaints at all with the quality of his work. He has a very small shop, but don’t let that discourage you. His workmanship is great. The one initial drawback was that Tran did not have a broad enough selection of leathers to choose from (colors and quality). The selection appeared rather limited. However, my wife and I found a leather wholesaler online that had what we wanted and Tran arranged to purchase the leather for us and then was able to complete the work. As would be expected, Tran adjusted his original price to reflect the cost of the additional leather we selected. Tran also closes up shop for the the better part of the last two months of the year into mid-​January in order to visit his family overseas. But everything was worth the wait! It only took him one week and a half to complete the job once he picked up the couches. He did a great job and would fully recommend him!

Trans fabrics is the best! Very friendly and very nice customer service. Tran re upholstered my 1980’s oak dining room chairs back to brand new again, they look perfect such a superior job with new foam and fabric. Very professional job and they only took a week to do. Thanks Tran, we will be back!

My boxer ate part of my recliner sofa which was only 2 years old. In my quest to get it fixed I came across this retailer on google search. Based on the reviews I decided to give it a try. AMAZING!!! I was so incredibly happy with the work he did. He was able to match very close to my sofa fabric and the price was right! Excellent place!!!

While visiting my home in Riverside I decided it was time for some badly need improvements for my dining room chairs.
My dining room chair cushions were shot. The foam broken down and fabric stained and outdated. Logged into Unilocal and Trans along with a few others had good reviews. I called several, and Trans was the only one to answer or return my call.
I stopped by his shop and was greeted by a very pleasant guy. Tran offers a full range of upholstery services. I selected my fabric, from what seemed like an endless variety.
After I selected the fabric Trans said it would be about 7 days. He called 4 days later that they were finished.
The quality of his work is perfect. He is very competitive and would be well worth anyone seeking this type of service time.

My husbands bottom chair cushion was in tatters. Went to Tran’s
complete upholstery to purchase new dense foam and fabric so that I could fix it. Tran was so nice and helpful that I asked for an estimate on him fixing the cushion. It turned out that it was so reasonable that I couldn’t turn him down. The workmanship is excellent! He really knows his craft! I’m going back soon to have him do my 4 kitchen chairs. I will recommend Tran in the future! This is a small family business, let us all support the independent business man!

Awesome place! Would have never thought of all the selection of fabrics located here in Riverside! Would definitely have Tran do any upholstery work in the future. This time around, though, I used Tran’s services to replace the foams of our custom made couch. The sizes of the foams I replaced are much larger than typical size couch foams. He was able to get the correct sizes, get the best quality of foams, and even replaced them back into our zippered couch covers. He was a hoot to work with. See him first before you decide to go with anyone else!

We had our dining room chairs reupholstered. 6 chairs done beautifully. Tran does excellent work at a reasonable price. I would strongly recommend using his services.

I became an antique waiting on my antigue wicker sofa to get fixed and Tran was the solution. after my dad mistakenly threw the spring fames out fo rthe cushions, Tran and I decided on a foam, he had some material that coordinated with mone and together came up with a fantastic look, I was so happy with it I went back and had mroe pillows to go with it and my other sofas. He was very patiecent when I was still looking for my perfect material for my husband’s sitting chair, tran had it all tore apart just waiting for me, then Joanns shorted me material to finish the footstool, again the ingenious of Tran with my help created a great solution and my husband was delighted to get his chai r back. He is a friendly guy and is mot helpful in any and every way… he’s be seeing more of me, in fact I have already brought a coworker ‘s cushion to repair… HE’s quick and reasonable!

I wish I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Tran. He does not respond to voice messages or emails.
If it’s something he cannot do; the least he could do is call back or reply to email correspondence.

If 10 stars (or more) were available, we’d have given that rating. Tran is incredible. He knows what works, what doesn’t. He’s redone almost everything we own and we couldn’t be more pleased. We are thrilled to have found him and can’t imagine going anywhere else.

Mr. Tran has just completed a recovering of my eight padded dining room chairs, absolutely excelled results. I needed a fabric that resisted the cats sharpening their claws on the fabric; I believe the problem has been solved. Even though he had hundreds of fabrics available in his shop, of course I needed to order one from the sample swatches. That put only a week’s delay in the project. He and his nephew came to the house to pick up the chairs and delivered them a few days later. The price was very fair and the service perfect, I would use Mr. Tran again if needed. He exhibits a strong desire to please the customer.

Mr. Tai Tran, you are something special. An ex-​Flexsteel upholsterer (of 25 years) with an entrepreneurial zest, charming, helpful, you take great pride in your work and business.
So, curious reader, where actually does he do this magic? You will find his tiny shop in an old and dumpy, cream colored, stucco building, with very limited parking in front. And in a rather lousy part of town. Inside, cluttered chaos. Rolls of upholstery fabrics propped up everywhere and work-​in-​progress furniture (which by the way gave us a clue of what to expect). Many of the rolls are the discontinued leftovers from Flexsteel and Lazyboy fabrics. Nice stuff.
Maybe this doesn’t sound enticing, but don’t let appearances influence your decision. That is because he does beautiful work. And if you find the fabric of your dreams in his little warehouse, you lucky dog, you are talking a substantial savings.
We ended up special ordering our fabric from one of his many books for my Mission style couch and matching chair, mostly because I just could not find the right color and texture in stock that matched the couch of my dreams. I know, I know, next time just go with the purple leather. It livens up everything. Honestly, he had many fine fabrics that I would have chosen, if only I hadn’t already ordered a difficult to match, brand new chair from another store.
And I loved his offer to pick up and deliver my pieces to my home for a whole $ 50. He drove a good 30 miles RT each time.
We loved the firm cushions he used, which we specifically requested. And the cushions are trimmed beautifully, each with a zipper for easy removal. They are made sturdily and look like they could last decades.
Two weeks later, the end result? We are all smiles. Beautiful. Makes my furniture look nicer than when it was brand new. I now know where to go when I am ready for my next upholstery job, large or small.
