Larry’s Custom Furniture & Upholstery

Larry’s work is absolutely wonderful! He built a breakfast banquette for us and it turned out exactly the way we wanted. He was very kind, honest and a pleasure to work with.

Excellent workmanship and value
The ‘go to’ upholsterer in the Valley.
High level of workmanship. Easy to deal with. Have made a number of upholstery pieces for me including refinishing paintwork.
Always professional.

I am not someone who just sits there and gives bad reviews. I also give excellent reviews. Larry’s response to my criticism adds salt to injury. What he says in his response that he is not to apologize for giving me a time frame to complete the project — 1 week initially — and then getting busy and putting my project on the back burner.
He should have either not taken the project or complete it at the time he said he would. But after three weeks and lying — I have a terrible problem accepting lies — when he said a week and a half earlier «I am cutting the fabric now so it will be ready for the seamstress when she comes back from Mexico,» only to find out that it WASN’T cut and NOTHING has done.

Outstanding! We had a sofa and 2 club chairs reupholstered by Larry. He picked up the furniture, did a perfect job on it and delivered it back to us. Helpful, courteous, reasonable and impeccable workmanship. The shop recently moved to 7837 Sepulveda Blvd., Van Nuys. Easy to get to and to park. A real find!

Look no further for quality work done at a very reasonable price! These guys continue to be the go to folks for all our upholstery needs done in a timely manner.

Larry’s Upholstery Is a great find! Larry was so patient with me as it took a while to figure out which fabric to use to recover my sectional. He came over to my house to help me choose. After a couple of months of going in and out of his store they kept pulling out the books for me to look for more samples. By the time I finally made my decision they came to pick up my old sofa very timely and completed the job also very timely and did a fabulous job. I was skeptical about my decision. but when the recovered sofa was delivered I was completely thrilled! I had the work done a year ago and it still looks great which is a testament to the quality of the stuffing and workmanship. I am not a decorator and don’t have a clue as to how things should look but Larry and Giovanni’s patience helped me feel confident in my decision. I am now having some chairs recovered and feel confident that they will also look perfect when I get them back. By the way, the price is very fair too!
So there you go… a great Unilocal review. Unsolicited!

Larry’s not only has reupholstered my den furniture but also recently my living room and dining chairs. The workmanship is beautful and Larry was very helpful & let me take the time necessary to pick fabric, take sample books home to make the right decision for me… non pushy. He is great to work with… complete confidence in their work.

Disappointed. Went in to get a quote on reupholster the fabric on two kitchen counter chairs and the first guy gave us a price of $ 110 each. Then when we asked for a better price, he got the owner Larry who said $ 125 per chair. At least try to be consistent guys. They are over priced. Got a price for $ 90 each at a place in studio city.

Larry was very timely with upholstering my couch. He turned a piece that was seemingly trash into true treasure. I highly recommend going with him for upholstering or any other custom requests with furniture.

Sorry to give such a bad review, but I’m afraid I agree with another review here since this is my second experience with Larry when I have been completely ignored. Larry sets up an appointment (his choice of time) to come out to the house with fabric samples to look at the job, then does not show up. Bad enough, right? But he doesn’t even have the courtesy to call to say he can’t make it.
So I call him again and he chooses another appointment time to come out. Again, he simply does not show up, nor does he call. I call him again. «Oh, I forgot.» He says «let me call you back when I have time.» And guess what? He never calls. Second go-​round with this outfit with the exact same scenario. No show, no call. Business owners who treat the public like this do not deserve anyone’s business. At least have the courage to say «No, I don’t know how [or don’t want] to do your job.» Instead, Larry keeps saying «Yes, yes, yes» and then just ignores you.

Larry came to us highly recommended and his work is absolutely exquisite. He’s made 6 beautiful pieces for our home, including a spectacular 9’x12’ leather chesterfield sectional. He’s also reupholstered and replicated my grandmother’s arm chairs. He’s professional and easy to work with. A true craftsmen. I strongly recommend you give him a call!

I’ve been wanting a custom couch for years now but felt overwhelmed by the prices I was quoted. Not only was Larry reasonable and willing to work within my budget, but the quality of the piece he made is better than anything I’ve seen for twice the price. Friendly, accommodating, quick turn-​around and high quality. A must!

I should clarify my previous review about lead-​times. 12 – 16 weeks (rarely hits 16) is usually for big scale projects, anywhere from 15 – 20 pieces in production (from building the frame to finish). For re-​upholstering they usually run about 2 – 3 weeks, sometimes even shorter if you put a rush on it. I have to add as well that their finishing (on wood work) is pretty great!

What luck to have read these reviews and to have found Larry’s Upolstery! I was finally able to recover my ornate and lovely antique dining room chairs, that my kids grew up on. I first called and described what I had. Larry told me approx. how much it would be, and how much fabric I might need. We decided to go for it. I took them in to Larry, we were surprised to find out they still had the original straw and springs. They are pretty old! Larry recovered them and even refurbished some of the structure. They look and feel incredibly beautiful! Thank you to Larry, and his wife! We are all beyond thrilled! Seriously, if you need something reupolstered, this is the place to go!

I wish I knew about this shop earlier– Great skills, very professional and reasonable price. They took a bit longer than they promised and I had to call a couple different times to get my order but that could be due to the high demands. Overall I am still a fan. Larry is cool. I have already told my friends about him and am coming back for sure for the next upholstery work to be done.

My experience with Larry was very postitive– I love the chair he did for me. I had multiple fabrics– which he did not mind a bit. He did a wonderul job and got it back to me in record time. I will be a repeat cutomoer.

I needed two couch cushions re-​upholstered. Larry and his staff were courteous, did great work and offered me a great price. I drove from the Pacific Palisades as a Santa Monica based company had ridiculous prices. He got the job done fast and I’m a happy camper.

My watch word is quality. Not rich but think I have refined taste (doesn’t everyone!) and Larry’s can meet & exceed my requests for reupholstering items that makes my furniture look better than new.
They did a special tailored removable cover for a largish ottoman using my 2 fabrics — the subtlety & class of the redesign is perfect & shows the taste & professionalism of Larry’s. Larry’s has gotten my business for several other items & quality is consistent. I plan to bring other items for work in the near future. Time is not an issue for me since an old guy told me this: there are 3 things but unless you’re rich you only get to have 2. The 3 things are: quality, speed, money.
Larry’s is reasonably priced and a local business. I’m happy to wait my turn for the expert attention of the team. My family & friends will be impressed with the excellent finished items.

Be aware, the fine folks at Larry’s Custom Furniture have SO MUCH BUSINESS that they can’t be bothered with a small job like covering a couple of useless chairs. We are retailer and called this company to attempt to get a quote for covering two chairs that sit outside our store. Customers use these chairs, especially on the weekends, to wait for their table at the restaurant next door. Took them one week from the time we called to come out to see the chairs and when they arrived, they had samples of every type of fabric but the kind we had requested during our phone conversation. They said it would be another week until they could come back with the correct fabric. No surprise, 10 days later and we’ve heard nothing back. We can’t attest to the quality of their upholstery work but can state, without doubt, that their customer service is bottom of the barrel.

We came to Larry’s because of the good Unilocal reviews. We just had our table and dining room chairs refinished and the chairs reupholstered. It looks beautiful like we bought a new table. We always liked our table and looking at new ones we didn’t see anything that compared. Larry said they don’t make furniture like they used to. It was really worth it to us to redo the table we liked and have them do such a great job!
