Elegant Designs

This was my first experience with this company and I couldn’t be more pleased. Ed came through for me in every way. He made 12 cushions for my outdoor furniture and they are perfect. His attention to detail was impressive and I am getting ready to bring him more business. So great when it all works out!

Edmond was fantastic from our first phone conversation throughout the process of choosing fabric to reupholstering my chair. He completed the job earlier than promised and did a fantastic job. I will definitely be using Elegant Designs for any future upholstery needs. He really takes the time to listen to his customer and deliver great work. I would highly recommend Edmond for any upholstery needs.

I’ve had sofa cushions covered, a chair reupholstered, and 4 dining room chairs reupholstered over the past few years. Edmund’s service and his workmanship have been excellent. I cannot recommend him more highly.

Edmund reupholstered my leather dining room chairs and did an amazing job! He ordered the hide from Italy and he took great care in making sure the grain was consistent to cover all eight chairs. I have recommended to a few friends and will definitely bring more furniture in for a face lift. thank you Edmund!

This review is long overdue. Edmond did a wonderful job creating a bright red outdoor mattress for a bed in one of the gardens I designed. The client loves it, and I love it too. Ed made the 6 inch mattress custom to order, adding batting all around and figured out the best way to do it so it would fit true in the outdoor bed. The bright red Sunbrella fabric he used is such a gorgeous color, and the whole thing from start to finish was done in a timely manner with a very fair price tag. It really is a cool feature in the garden and sitting on this comfy, beautiful mattress that Ed made while enjoying campfire is one of the things my clients love most.
Thanks Edmond! Happy New Year! I will be back for more custom work soon.

Ed does gorgeous, meticulous work. He’s the only person I trust to recover my antiques. The before and after photos speak for themselves. Will come back again and again. Thanks Ed!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Edmund and family/​crew do the most amazing restoration work. I took my husband’s Grandma’s badly deteriorated 1920s era armchair, nearly «loved to death» for generations, the padding & springs worn out & exposed, fabric worn away, carved wooden feet chewed by long-​ago puppies, to be refurbished as our Christmas gift to each other. Edmund helped me find the exact fabric to match our (Grandma’s) recovered dining room chairs but told me up front they were so busy finishing orders before the holidays, it almost certainly wouldn’t be done by Christmas. (The shop was very full & even an outdoor area had been covered to expand the workspace!) I said that was fine, we hadn’t brought it in till late in the season.
The Friday before Christmas he called — it was ready! We can hardly believe how perfect it is; they even restored the wooden feet so the puppy damage is gone, and Edmund’s Dad was sewing up protective removable covers for the wide, flat arms from the leftover fabric as an «extra» when I arrived. Edmund showed me step by step photos of the restoration & sent the photos to my phone. The family «oohed and ahhed» over it Christmas Eve, remembering the dilapidated condition it had been in. So this comfy, memory-​filled heirloom lives on for more generations. Thank you so much, Edmund, family & crew!!!
If I can figure out how to post before & after photos, I’ll add them later. Just — Wow! And everyone is so very nice there, too!

I couldn’t be happier with the work performed and service received at Elegant Designs. Edmund is knowledgeable and helpful in making recommendations. I had slipcovers made for a large sectional, and it met my high expectations. The cost was very reasonable and the work was completed within the time promised. I am so happy with the work that he now has my favorite chair which he is reupholstering.

Ed did a marvelous job in completing the furniture I needed for my new office. He managed to finish two pieces of furniture before my open house, partly due to his persistence in finding another supplier for the fabric I liked. (The usual supplier had this fabric on back order for 6 weeks – which would have been too late for my open house. He pulled some strings and found another guy from whom he managed to buy the same fabric within a much shorter time span). It’s more impressive given that he did my order during the busy Thanksgiving and December season. He was even willing to wait for us as we could only get to his shop by 6 on a Friday to pick up the furniture. He’s usually closed by 5:30ish on Fridays.
As for quality, I literally squealed (or «flipped,» as he nicely put it) the moment I laid eyes on the finished product. Oh and have I mentioned that he also elongated the settee I ordered, because I wanted something that could fit 3 people and still fit in the room nicely? Bottom line is Edmond is your guy for any upholstery need you might have. He’s knowledgeable, easy to work with, experienced, and he’s also pretty generous. You will thank me later if you do hire him.

Great experience! Start to finish, Edmond is easy to work with, clear/​fair about pricing, and wants to do the job right. He quickly provided me a quote and timeline for the work I wanted done based on photos I text messaged him. His team did a beautiful job restoring my chairs and went above and beyond making sure we were happy with the results. They look better than I ever imagined they would. I highly recommend elegant designs.

I am so happy! I got an amazing product at the best price! I searched, interviewed, and compared prices with three recommended upholsterers. They were all nice people but Edmond gave me the best price. I choose him to reupholster my two chairs. He helped me find the perfect fabric at a great price which made the deal even better. Once the fabric came in, I dropped off the chairs and in two quick weeks they were done. They’re gorgeous!!! The best part is, Edmond was a joy to work with. Very upbeat and friendly. He’s an honorable man running a great family business.
Thank you Edmond!

I came in with a custom bar stool seat. It was a weird plastic thing — almost like a motorcycle seat if you can imagine it.
He stayed open late and totally took care of this hard custom cover. He’s really skilled, dedicated, and charged a very fair price.
I highly Recommend this store.

Thank you Edmond for such excellent service. My cushions came out perfect. It was quick and easy. Total expert!
Priced great and so helpful. I felt very taken care of!

Thank you to Edmond and his team and the beautiful work they did restoring my grandparent’s 100+ old antique chairs.
I was passed down a table and 6 chairs that my grandparents used for every holiday dinner, birthday and important event. The dining set had been in the Bay Area and stored in plastic for the last 10 years. I recently received them from my mom who passed them down to me. We brought them to L.A. and this is how I decided to find Edmond to help restore them. As you can imagine the chairs are very important to me and the family so finding someone who we trusted was very important.
I found Edmond through Unilocal and I’m so glad I did. Edmond was very busy, but he took the time to reassure me he’d help me to make the chairs look nice and strengthen them for people to sit on and enjoy again. I spent time looking at patterns in Edmond’s shop and he helped me by letting me take samples home to show my family. Since I was not in a hurry and didn’t need the chairs by a particular time I dropped all the chairs off and when I made a decision on the pattern Edmond said he would take care of it. We agreed it would just be new seat cushions and strengthening to the chairs that needed it. He would keep the original patina that had occurred over the years and help to preserve our family history.
After two months I checked in with Edmond via email and he said they would be done by end of week. When they were complete I received another email with photos of the chairs. They were beautiful.
The amount was a little more than Edmond and I agreed upon. However, as he explained 5 out of the 6 chairs needed strengthening and he did the work he knew I would appreciate. After Edmond explained his process I agreed it was needed. My only suggestion was that I wish I would have been informed during the process so I was not surprised at the end of the the cost being a couple hundred dollars more than we thought. But, on a positive note, I know Edmond and his team put care into my family heirloom and I appreciate them doing that for me and my family.
I would go back to Edmond and his team again. Thank you Edmond!
Best,
Tanya

I can’t say enough amazing things about Ed and his incredible work! I had four hideous floral cushions reupholstered with gorgeous chenille fabric he had in stock. And even though my request for piping in a contrasting color was a challenge, he delivered beautiful work at an affordable price. Ed is truly talented and I am certain I will be doing more business with him. Quality work in every way!

Great work at a totally fair price and great people to work with as well. Edmund even took care of a measurement issue that was totally my fault and didn’t even charge me for the corrective work he had to do. That’s the kind of awesome service you don’t get from people any more! I’ll be taking more work to him soon, but this time I won’t screw up the measurements.

Elegant Designs, Edmond and his
brother ROCK. Worth every cent and be ready to pay more but you will get so much back! True artists here!

Excellent customer service and a reasonable price. Ed did a phenomenal job. He fixed all my cushions in less than a week and they just look like brand new. i highly recommend him :)

Wow! I’m so impressed by Elegant Designs. Edmond was phenomenal to work with and his work is to the highest standard of quality. I had a settee set from the late 1880s that him and his team brought back to life! He retightened everything (there was a lot of creeking before), laquered the wood frame, built a new ear piece for the chair and re-​holstered them both. His attention to detail is impeccable. It’s rare you find this kind of craftsman in the upholstery business these days. Will gladly do business with again when I find another cool antique! Thank you Edmond!

I’m so excited to find Elegant Designs! I went in on a whim when I was shopping and was able to send Edmond a picture of my chairs that needed a complete redo-​they were well loved and I still liked the style. He gave me a quote and I took home two sample fabrics. They were done very quickly and he delivered them to my home. Not only have they been completely reworked-​the quality and care that went into them is fantastic! They are very comfortable now and the material is exactly what I wanted.
I also redid cushions for a chair-​it was done in two days and I am thrilled again! What a pleasant experience and top-​drawer service!
