Just got my 100+ year old American rocking chair back from Gareth. When he took it it was a wreck, now it’s repaired, revarnished, recovered and so beautiful. Couldn’t have done a better job highly recommend Gareth and his services 5 star service. Thanks again it now has pride of place in our home.

Gareth reupholstered 2 chairs and a footstool. They are pretty much as new now, with firmer foam and a great job on the fabric covering. He threw in a couple of cushions in a coordinating fabric he found he had enough of to do that. He keeps you informed, keeps appointments and did the work quickly (but properly) and for a fair price.

Gareth did a smashing job of reupholstering our dining chairs, he really took the time to make sure we were happy with the fabric selection and we are very pleased with the finished product :)
