Uribes Furniture and Upholstery

The owner of this business is good about being friendly, even appearing trustworthy, at first impression. However, she is sneaky and dishonest. She will cut corners and not give a care.

Over the years, I’ve had many pieces re-​upholstered, and usually had great success. A few years ago, I decided to stay semi-​local, and went to Uribe’s.
While they might be okay for redoing a cushion, I cannot recommend them to do more intricate furnishings.
They did things without even asking, such as refinishing the wood and not consulting with me first. It was never discussed, it wasn’t on the work order –the guys just did it. The piece was an English antique, and needless to say, their decision to refinish without my consent, took off the original finish, devaluing the piece considerably. The work they did was shoddy –they didn’t use enough fabric, and soon the seams started to split. The two chairs I brought to them consisted of them cutting a piece of plywood, using the cheapest foam, and covering it with fabric.
Today, every piece that I had done with them has been re-​done elsewhere. As someone with years of experience, I honestly can’t recommend this place at all.

I rarely write reviews on Unilocal but seeing this cryptic, defamatory statement from Cathy T, I felt the need to counter this cheap shot. In any event, Uribe’s is right by my house so I decided to give it a try and have our dining room chairs upholstered. The owner gave me the option of choosing some of the remaining fabric she had from other jobs. Instead, I went to a local fabric store (with the coupon she gave me) and got exactly the fabric I wanted for a really good price. My chairs came out beautifully and she gave me a really good deal on the actual upholstery.
We are in the market for a new couch and I am going to have Uribe’s make it for me.
