Bob’s Upholstery & Decorating Center

I first got to know Bob’s as the company that did all the work for a friend’s high end designer clients. I picked up fabric, finished pieces, etc. for her.
I also love to shop there for fabric and get ideas for projects.
You get what you pay for — this is really an art and not something you learn in two weeks. I figure that buying better furniture and re-​upholstering it is wiser than buying cheap pieces that won’t hold up long term. I have a lot of antiques so that’s my strategy!

They have been in business for over 50 years doing upholstery work and it shows! So friendly and helpful In my opinion, the best in the business, at least in the Atlanta area anyway. Tons and tons of fabrics and décor to choose from. You can even park your boat inside and get upholstery work done. Amazing place and people!

I have a sickness. I am addicted to fabric shopping but I can’t sew a stitch or afford someone else to sew them for me. Despite this malfeasance, I have managed to log quite a few hours at area fabric warehouses and actually get some help (thanks mom!) on completing a few projects.
Bob’s is one place I have never been before today. But if Bob’s was a church, I would have asked to join today!
First, a little history. Bob’s used to be located between the Marietta Square and the Big Chicken, which is close to where I work. I saw the place at least once a week with its ultra-​modern dining room chairs out front covered in zebra print. Tacky! I never went in.
Now, their new location is in Kennesaw, just a few moments from my house. Their fabrics range from zany (red leopard print and purple snake skin) to sophisticated. Even their over the top fabrics are of high quality, a quality that you know will wear well. Usually the crazier looking they are (the ones I’m often drawn to), the crappier the quality is. Not at Bob’s.
I received the best service. The store is family owned and operated. I started getting ideas from their beautiful showroom and completely changed my vision for the current project. I collected samples and then the sweetheart upfront asked what I was thinking and she collected several more samples and put some things together I never would have dreamed of. This is the service I used to get at other stores I will not name, but they have had management change and I just haven’t been getting that in the past years.
Another thing I appreciated was their on the spot ability to quote an upholstery job. However, I did think it was high compared to other quotes I received. Their upholstery is flawless though.
Because of Bob’s and its close proximity to my house, I fear this disease will only worsen.
And that’s all she sewed.
