I have sofas, chairs and ottomans that have been recovered. Beds and ottomans made from scratch. Drapes that are exquisitely done. I have used Chris Upholstery for more than a decade and I think they are simply the best. I recently started using a new decorator but asked her to use Chris Upholstery because I didn't want to try anyone else. Their staff is all so nice and friendly and they get the projects done in a very reasonable amount of time. A plus plus!! ### All 38 reviews **★★★★★ — sunny15, March 2026** > If you need your furniture reupholstered look no further than Chris' Upholstery! We recently had our couch, ottoman, cornices and dining room chairs reupholstered and we are more than pleased. Martha spent time with us, showing us many books with various fabrics we might like. Once we selected the fabrics we wanted she quickly provided a reasonable quote and everything was completed within four weeks. We are very happy with our "new" furniture. They did a beautiful job! I highly recommend Chris' Upholstery! They are very easy to work with and very professional! **★★★★★ — vickyfaithb, July 2024** > Chris Upholstery custom made a beautiful banquette for me. I had a picture of a very specific banquette and struggled to find someone to replicate the exact look. They came to my home and I showed them pictures and somehow they replicated it exactly down to the same fabric. This is a family owned business and it was such a pleasure working with all of them. The banquette is not only absolutely gorgeous but it is also extremely comfortable. I am so impressed with the overall service and end product. I would definitely go to them again in the future. **★★★★★ — mcc56, Jan. 2024** > The Chris Upholstery team has done an incredible job helping me with new drapes, creating custom furniture pieces, reupholstering antiques and pillows...

Delivery was great, my sofa looks fabulous, thanks to Martha helping me choose fabric and Chris’s excellent upholstery skills (he switched out switched the arms and cushion styles). Highly recommend Chris Upholstery! **★★★★★ — Laurie Fierst, Oct. 2019** > Working with Chris Upholstery was one of the best experiences I've had in a long while -- reminiscent of old-school service. I had to get 2 loveseats and 2 club chairs reupholstered, along with the throw pillows. They did impeccable workmanship on every piece -- the upholstery, the piping, the foam cushions, the pillows -- updating some of the worn-out areas as I wanted. > > Besides doing beautiful upholstery, they couldn't be more helpful. They helped me choose fabrics to meet my taste but get the durability I needed. Furthermore, their service was exceptional.

From the minute they picked up the merchandise, I felt they were taking care of me. **★★★★★ — Jane Kistler, July 2019** > After 20 years of efficient, reasonable pricing, and beautiful work I am compelled to sit down and share my 5 star review of Chris Upholstery. I have been able to communicate and work with Chris and his daughter in a way indicative of a caring family business.

We are so grateful!!! **★★★★★ — Rose Lanard, June 2019** > Chris Upholstery has been a wonderful partner on my design projects! I've re-done chairs, ottomans, patio furniture cushions, pillows, etc. Martha is so friendly and responsive; she has a terrific eye in helping to select fabrics.

I highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — Ann Kelly, Dec. 2018** > I have been working with Chris Upholstery for over ten years.

From the time we walked into the shop in October, 2017 looking for the right person for the job, determining the fabric choice (our fabric was back ordered so we had to be patient), scheduling pick up and then getting our chairs and ottoman back on the precise date promised (12/23/2017) ...was a total pleasure. > > The workmanship was perfection and working with Martha, Chris and Peter could not have been easier.

I have loved every piece they have done for me. They are true perfectionist and it shows in the end product. As far as customer service , they are a total pleasure to deal with and have high regard for customers. Timing is so important and they deliver on what they say in terms of when projects will be done. I really can not rave enough about how great these guys are. ## Selected projects - [Window Treatments](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/window-treatments-pj-vj~1882326) - Location: Greenwich, CT - Photos: 7 - [Custom Furniture](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-furniture-pj-vj~537689) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Custom Lucite Furniture](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-lucite-furniture-pj-vj~672556) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 [See all 3 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/upholstery/chris-upholstery-pfvwus-pf~1351403643) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
