I heard about them from an interior designer friend of mine, who knew they would be able to do a great job on my tough piece. The project was a very special huge L-shaped seat that was about 80"" for each arm. My husband had designed and built it and I didn't want to let him down on the upholstery end of it. The front, sitting side of each arm of the L was to be upholstered and the back is exposed gorgeous walnut.
I was lucky to work with Seth and Jerry, we drew up some sketches and looked at some examples that I brought in. They called me in for a ""sit test"" to make sure we were on track and though it absolutely looked like it could go in a home opposite central parknin NYC, that was not the look I wanted to go for! Communication is everything and somehow our wires got crossed. Seth and Jerry bent over backward to make the revision work exactly as I envisioned for the piece, and it is now at home in my dining room looking just as I had thought it should.
I learned tons about upholstery terminology and thanks to Seth and Jerry I now know a few things about what upholsters need to creat their magic. They were patient with all my ""tweaks"" and really aimed to please. No attitude of ""we know better than you do"" from them at all.
I will definitely go back there for the next project. Just remember that you get what you pay for. Good craftsmanship needs to be paid for appropriately. This is the place to go to get it right.
