Fabrics & More

I’m writing this without my name attached so it doesn’t effect my future career prospects. I worked here for about two years. The owners are the worst people I have ever met. They didn’t pay rent on their woodlands location and the locks were changed by the landlord. It was at that point told to take a few weeks off for vacation (unpaid naturally). Mind you this is about a week after the glorious owners got back from their fabulous European vacation. I then picked up a paycheck which was held by the bank for four days because all the paychecks were bouncing. I loved my job with customers and the store so when they called me back to work, I returned only to be belittled in front of new employees (lol yes they hired more people, I don’t get that either) when I was introduced by Albert Reddy (the owner) it was as «someone who talks too much but knows nothing» (oh the condescending arrogance). I was also referred to as stupid by his wife who got mad that I forgot to do something she asked me to do (I apologized, we were understaffed and I got very busy, but hey she’s the boss and whatever) this was in fact the last straw as they were over due with a paycheck at the time and I drove an hour to work to be talked to in that way. I still have not received my pay from August, it’s now October. I’m in touch with the authorities but I thought I should put out there that if you shop here you are supporting the worst kind of people. Plus you may or may not get your paid for materials or upholstery done, honestly it depends on if the owners personally care about you. I have seen them push their own customers projects before everyone else to the point of it being 4 months past due and people screaming at me (the owners never talked to the customers they pissed off themselves) They will take your money for special ordered fabric and then it’s really a toss up as to wether they will order it or not. There are about 4 major suppliers who won’t even deal with them anymore. I have never blasted a company like this before and regret that they are so unprofessional and unscrupulous that I felt this was the only way to nudge some karma their direction (not that they would learn anything from it)

I’ve had them do a lot of work for me. Chad has been wonderful helping me and understanding everything I wanted.

I ordered (and paid several hundred dollars for) material from the store on June 27, 2015 and was advised it would be available in one week. After MANY phone calls, for over 1 ½ months, with different stories each time (from the Owner, his wife and another Manager and store clerk) and with MANY requests for a refund, I finally got a check from them on August 14, 2015 (that I personally had to pick up because they couldn’t refund back to my credit card?)…and the check bounced. I have yet to have a favorable outcome. Don’t trust this company. I’ve filed a BBB complaint… let’s see how this plays out!

A vast selection of fabrics to choose from and a helpful staff make this store the place to bring your old, tired furniture for renewing. They have recovered and repaired several pieces for me: 4 seat cushions on a set of very 70s dining chairs (I painted the chairs red and found a fun fabric for the seats — they look magazine worthy now), a sweet old chair from the 60s now covered in a bright paisley fabric, and another bigger chair and ottoman from the same era that is now happily updated to the 21^st century. The hardest part is selecting the fabric — so many gorgeous patterns and styles and weights and textures. The man who did our latest upholstering was absolutely an artist — George took such care with the matching of the pattern. He is very skilled and has an excellent eye for detail. I’m so pleased with the results. The previous work was just as carefully matched. It was several years ago and it’s nice to see that the quality of work is still exceptional. Thank you to Alfred, Edward, and George!

No matter how good of a selection of fabric here, it’s not worth it. Unethical owner, and even called to harrass me with a lie later. I paid store $ 394 for material the store offered to ship to my seamstress;UPS lost it and would only provide the store with $ 100 claim check (made out to store) b/​c the store employee didn’t declare value on the shipping form (store mgr omitted this info for weeks).Almost 3months of no resolution despite my multiple attempts and 4 hours drive time for different store visits with manager, Irene, and owner, Albert who said he’d replace fabric ONLY if UPS provides in writing that UPS will be refunding the full amount of what I already paid store.(Owner)Albert says UPS issued them a claim check, but only for $ 100.He then tells me that he will «let» me buy material at his cost minus $ 100 (UPS claim check), still making me out of pocket $ 237+$ 27s&h more that I had already paid for matériel I never got 3 months prior.(Mgr) About two months of continual prodding them and UPS, I make another appearance at their store in hopes of getting better attention. Irene (Mgr)then admits to Albert (in front of me) that their store employee failed to declare value amount on the UPS form (this was the first I had heard of that).Then owner blames UPS, saying that the UPS clerk should’ve caught that and made sure that his employee filled that out. Then Albert told me that it’s not the store’s fault that UPS lost my material, but I quickly responded that it IS their fault that UPS won’t cover the full amount since his employee didn’t fill out the shipment form adequately;UPS policy is to only cover $ 100 in that case (store employee’s fault for failing to complete the shipping label correctly).His only response was that his store only ships as a courtesy to the customers (as if that makes them not liable).Irene actually told me that“Personally, she wouldn’t have had a store ship her material-​she would’ve done it herself.” Wow. Then why offer it? I went home, empty handed again and at a $ 394
advice of MANY, I reported to credit card co who said this store is absolutely liable for 100%, and that the store should’ve refunded or replaced the day they knew it was
CC company gave me a provisional credit to cover the cost at 100%; CC co. to garnish that full amount from store, and told me it’s definitely the right way to handle. A few weeks later, Albert calls me at home, saying he got this letter from my credit card company and asking if I «was aware that my credit card company took that credit back off from me and returned it to him because it isn’t his fault» (I found out later that was a lie). Then he begins to argue with me, and I tell him that I agree it isn’t the store’s fault that UPS lost the fabric, but it IS their fault that UPS didn’t refund the whole amount of money b/​c their store employee didn’t declare the value when they shipped it. He then had the nerve to say to me that I should’ve told his employee to write down the declared value (I refuse to tell an employee how to do her job). No matter what exchanges the owner and I have had over the past 3 – 4 months, he continued to point fingers at everyone else. After that infuriating call, I immediately called my CC Company; they assured me that what Albert told me was not true, and that the money is still very much in my account and isn’t going back to him unless he could prove I got my material, and nothing else matters. I can’t believe he’d rather risk his reputation over $ 400 (well, actually only $ 300 b/​c UPS did give hime a $ 100 claim check). Albert is arrogant and never showed any understanding at any of the 4 appearances I made to his store, and I was there for HOURS each trip (much more I could complain about)! I’ve heard of other sketchy things about this place from others too. I will continue to spread the word to anyone I can b/​c he either needs to exercise ethics or not be in business. I told a diff fab store about this and she was appalled.

The only reason I gave a single star is because of the great selection. The owner, Albert, is a complete jack — ! My mom bought $ 400 of fabric from the store on 1960 & Kuykendahl. The store offered to ship it for her (she was sending it to a family member out of state), so she let them. Well, UPS lost the shipment. My mom contacted UPS to get reimbursed, but UPS said she would only get $ 100 back. The fabric store made a mistake when they shipped it– they either wrote the value as only $ 100 or just didn’t claim value at all. So of course, my mom went to the manager (Irene) and also talked to Albert. The store refuses to pay her back and will not take ANY responsibility. She hasn’t even gotten an apology! My mom is a very sweet, soft-​spoken woman who hates confrontation, but she’s been pushing this for months to get her $ 400 back. I’m pretty sure they’ll be seeing her in court! SHAME ON THIS BUSINESS!

This place is like the mall. You can always come and walk in and never gets old or tired of it. It has a lot of selection to choose from and lots of things on sale.

About the only thing I can sew is a pillow or anything that is square or rectangular in shape. So obviously I don’t spend a ton of time in my local fabric store but when I do have the need to try my hand at sewing, fabrics & more is the only place I go.
There’s several other fabric stores in the area but this one has two things I look for: a wide variety and good prices. I’m usually looking for upholstery fabric for some sort of house update project like recovering a foot stool or making some pillows and I’m amazed at how difficult it is to find cheap and stylish upholstery fabric. fabrics & more seems to carry trendy fabric for each season plus a few timeless standards and I love that each time I go there’s something new. There’s also a large clearance section of upholstery fabric and I luckily I usually seem to find something kind of cool and funky for a super discounted price.
There’s also a ton of special order fabric. I have never ordered any but have spent plenty of time flipping through the samples. The special order stuff is usually more expensive so unless it’s something I fall in love with, I stay away.
fabrics & more also has a pretty large home section which is filled with accessories and handmade pillows and such. I usually don’t find anything in my style but I love to browse through and see some of the unique things.
The staff is always helpful and friendly and have hunted down a specific fabric for me on more than one occasion — another reason that keeps me coming back

Beautiful upholstery work, stunning panels and cornice boards, bedding and headboards. Custom design is easy when you have so many fabric choices and flexibility. I have worked with Raymond for several months while completing my house and have been very impressed with the workmanship and overall process. Bring your favorite pieces and pick your fabric and he will do the rest.

This is the BEST place in Harris County for fabrics and upholstery! The quality is impeccable and the prices are reasonable – unlike what you’ll encounter on the SW side of town. Recently I commissioned Raymond to refurbish an elegant old Victorian sofa and chair from NY that was in deplorable condition. Raymond and his team of professionals completely rebuilt the sofa and upholstered in gorgeous wine velvet. The results are phenomenal and it looks like a museum-​quality piece! See my before and after photos.
I know you will be pleased with shopping here and Raymond will make your experience unforgettable!

I visited this fabric store to get fabric ideas for draperies not knowing they made draperies, upholstery and more. One of the young ladies asked me to speak with Raymond who was able to come to my house same afternoon and drew up designs on the fly for four areas in my home — — family room, breakfast room, dining room and study. We set an appointment for Raymond to present fabrics that he would recommend to my husband and I. After a few changes, we signed the contract. Six weeks later, my drapes were hung and club chair reupholstered. We ran into a situation in that we didn’t like the end result for the study drapes. The study has what is called an «eyebrow» style window. I contacted Raymond and he was able to change the design using same fabric for minimal cost. The new drape will be installed Monday and I am confident Raymond and the staff at Fabrics & More will meet if not exceed my expectations. My home now looks more complete. Yay!

Amazing fabric store! So glad I found this place. I was looking for a high end fabric store (not a JoAnn or Hancock) and after months of searching all over Houston, I stopped at Fabrics & More. They have exquisite and rare fabrics that really make a luxurious statement. I easily spent an hour in the store upon my first visit in admiration of all the variety. The associates are friendly and Raymond, the owner is outstanding. I went on to order custom drapery from Raymond and finally my 2 story windows are complete. Pictures coming soon but I will most definitely be going back to this store for all my custom décor!
