I came by the on a rainy day to get my wife styling chair seats reupholster. I met the owner, she was awesome in so many ways. She was able to take my seat and work it out in about 3 days. This was very quick and fast as I do need the chair seat asap. I definitely refer the to all my friends.

Extremely polite and helpful-quality work-and a quick turn around. I love how the new cushions and fabric look on this midcentury loveseat o purchased. I will be using Best Upholstery again! Highly recommend!

I had 6 dining room chair seats (at least 60 years old) and one 40-year-old wing back chair reupholstered. They did an absolutely beautiful professional job; far exceeding my expectations. The dining room chair seats and wing back chair look brand new. You would never suspect they had been reupholstered. My only complaint is the new seat cushion on the wing back chair prevents my feet from touching the floor {LOL}. The furniture was picked up on May 25 and the job was completed on June 7, 2021. I have to say I wasn’t expecting the job to be completed in less than 6 weeks or more. I highly recommend Best Upholstery. They live up to their name.

Best Upholstery in Alexandria is the best furniture restorer in the DC/Northern Virginia area! They turned my 35 year old club chairs - family heirloom pieces - into gorgeous, more contemporary additions to our home. There's a reason BU has been in business 47 years! Quality craftsmanship, great fabrics, wonderful staff and they pick up and deliver! Interestingly, you wouldn't know it from its unassuming location and no frills shop. I dug around & found a simply beautiful fabric and their artisan furniture repairers exceeded expectations. The chairs are comfy, cozy yet elegant and they were done in 3 1/2 weeks, just before the holidays! They even created arm covers for both chairs (see before and after photos). Thank you, CeCe and everyone at BU.

Beautiful work! In love with my refresh of passed down family porch furniture. Great selection of fabrics, took less time than expected. Love being able to customize the set to my taste, and thrilled with the outcome that's unique and better workmanship than retail chains. Perfect!

Best came highly recommended and I couldn’t be more pleased. The green stripe is before and the floral is after. I will definitely return as projects arise!

Best Upholstery did my cushions and window treatments for the kitchen and I could not be happier with the quality of their work, the professional service and installation, and the price. What a find! Plus they are just pleasant folks to deal with. I was able to find fabric I really liked from their selections at the store and provide them with the dimensions for the custom work and my expectations were exceeded by far. Highly recommend!

I was crying tears of joy when Best Upholstery delivered our beautiful chair yesterday. They absolutely transformed our beloved family heirloom, an antique Voltaire-style armchair from France, from a rickety, shabby brown velvet mess to a beautiful, sculptural blend of old and new. I can't stop looking at how beautiful it is now! I recommend them whole-heartedly to anyone who is ready to invest in redoing a treasured antique.

We recently had Best Upholstery recover a sofa/chaise lounge. We chose this company after reading the Yelp reviews, which were incredibly positive. The service and work quality we received was outstanding. They had an incredible selection of fabrics that we could choose from and order. The fabric came within a day and they immediately called us to pick up the sofa. They indicated it would take around 10 days to complete. Within 5 days the sofa was done and the quality was exceptional. They literally rebuilt the sofa to new. I will definitely do business with this small business again and hope anyone reading this review will give them your work. Their price is not inexpensive but reasonable and so worth it.

I am very pleased with the upholstery work done to our dining room chairs. They look und feel like new, because they not only put the material over the seats but also redid the padding!

Exceptional service, quality work, friendly staff, and at an affordable price! Most of all they don't waste your time with getting your life back to normal.I chose best after a house fire, , they picked my chairs up the same day I put a deposit, and within 14 days, my chairs were done. I LOVE THEM!!!

These folks have reupholstered furniture for me over the last 30 years. They are professional, reliable and nice people. I highly recommend their work, it's all over my house, bedrooms, living room & den! I truly appreciated the owner's response to my, "Should I get rid of my parents' old sofa?" query: (paraphrasing) It may be old, but it is solidly, well made!! So he reupholsters it and it will stay in our family, for sure. ONE time (and only one time!), I used Abbott Upholsterers & that proved to be a big mistake: they chose a braid trim for my family's antique Duncan Phyfe-style sofa that was NOT a color that goes with any living room I've ever had; a simple phone call to me b4 deciding, or asking me at the time of ordering, would have solved this issue. Ugh! Plus, their rates are more than Korean-owned Best Upholstery. If you want someone to wait on you with advice about which fabric to choose, then Best Upholstery does not fit your needs; they have hundreds of books and you may check out up to 5 of them for a week or so, to take home & match up with what you need matching. But you need to make the selections, pawing thru the books. I just took my time and went thru the books at my own speed, b4 checking out my faves to take home. (It's not a problem for me, because I've had a bit of interior design training, to pick out fabrics.) Just understand that you are kinda on your own, when it comes to selecting the fabric you need. They're nice folks and do wonderful work!

They fixed my rookie mistake! had purchased replacement foam and padding online for my couch cushions. I have no skill set for this kind of thing, so I had made several mistakes. Instead of quoting me all new foam and padding, she said I just needed a little more padding...and was able to get it done same day! Thankfully, the team at Best Upholstery knew what they were doing and gave new life to my couch! Highly recommend for small and large jobs!

If you never visit in person you will not know that your furniture is in a filthy, roach infested unsanitary building. The smell when you walk in will knock you down. I counted 3 roaches crawling on the dusty old fabric swaths. I told the employee and he was not bothered in the least and made no move to do anything with the live roaches. He also quoted me a very high price. You have to visit in person to realize how unsanitary this place is and you would not want your furniture sitting in this derelict environment and then being re-introduced into your house with possible bug and mice droppings.

So happy that they're open. I purchased a sofa that have great bones but in need of help right when the shelter in place advisory was implemented. New to area so I was so please when I saw they're shop...very grateful and please with the customer service!

I only am giving three stars because we had them reupholster our 96” tufted sofa, after getting it back we saw that the seat cushion upholstery had been pieced together. I called and let them know, now we are waiting on a return call from them to come pick it up and redo it.

Very happy with their work! Lovely custom made draperies and an antique chair re-upholstery and restoration. They truly are the BEST.

About a year ago, my neighbor showed me some chairs she had reupholstered at Best Upholstery--they looked GREAT! So this year, when I bought two footstools from Etsy that were covered in pet hair and smelled like cigarette smoke, one of which the seller attempted to do her reupholstery job, I knew exactly where to take them. As you can see, Best really gave these footstools new life. If I ever have anything else that needs reupholstering, I'll call on them again. Thanks, Best!
