**★★★★★ — ldlr1960, Feb. 2017**

> The quality of the work was outstanding! They're very knowledgeable, helpful and easy to work with. The prices are very reasonable. We will be using them again. Would highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — Evelyn Fair, Dec. 2015**

> Ladd covered a channel back sofa and matching chair for me a few months ago. The attention to detail is impeccable, and my goal of updating my vintage furniture was achieved to a standard far exceeding my expectations. The professionalism, knowledge, and most importantly the appreciation of the nuances of furniture construction place these folks high on the list of excellent craftspeople!

**Comment from Ladd Upholstery Designs:**

> Thank you Lynn, it was truly a pleasure working with you.

**★★★★★ — mland2820, June 2015**

> I had two recliners reupholstered, one of which needed some mechanical repair. They did an excellent job! The quality of the work was exceptional, and I will definitely use them again.

**★★★★★ — Mercy Terrill, May 2015**

> I had my Grandmother's antique chair that needed some love and recovering. I was afraid to just give it to just anyone. Ladd and Rose made me feel really comfortable about the entire process. My chair looks and feels Amazing! Very comfortable to sit in. I would definitely recommend Ladd for ALL furniture repairs and reupholstering. He has a true gift!

**★★★★★ — Chris Kuck, May 2015**

> Edwin Northuis replaced the cushion tops on my sofa cushions which the dog had destroyed.  I honestly thought I would have to toss out the sofa, but was so extremely pleased that he made my sofa look like brand new with a simple fix.  He's working on the cushion for the matching chair, also destroyed by the dog.  This upholsterer is highly recommended.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Updating couch** *(in Design Dilemma)*

We need some color advice for an update on the couch.

A: I'm not a designer but I have reupholstered many sofas like the one you show. Leather would be my advice. Not the fake stuff but genuine leather. Pigmented
leather durable and desirable with a nice smooth surface that eliminates variations in color. Genuine leather gives you breath-ability, strength, elasticity, retention, flexibility, softness, and the added benefit of aging gracefully with developed patina and wrinkles and stretch marks. And to really set it off top stitch all around.
