Dan’s Upholstery

Dan’t Upholstery is outstanding! They did an absolutely beautiful job on reupholstering two chairs and two pillows for me. From the begining of the process to the end, their service was exceptional. Dyan came to my home to look at the chairs, and really took note of not just the chairs, but the room as a whole, the rug, window treatments and lighting to get a feel of what would look good. When I went to their store in San Carlos she had several ideas and books for me to look at. Dyan was «no pressure» and so helpful. When I asked for the price quotes, she e-​mailed me within a day with a complete breakdown of the pricing, fabric and labor. They picked up the chairs promply was soon as the fabric I ordered was in and delivered them back to my home and I LOVE them! The workmanship is extraordinary and I love that this is a family owned store. If I could give them 10 stars I would!

I got a referral to go to Dan’s Upholstery for my son’s antique pump organ stool. They helped with the fabric selection. They even fixed the loose leg. They did a great job. I am very pleased with their service and craftsmanship.

WOW! That’s what my husband said when I brought in my newly recovered ottoman from the car. «That is really handcrafted detail. It looks better than new!» Thanks, Dyan This piece will look fabulous in our mountain home!

I had a great experience using Dan’s Upholstery. They were very professional, paid a lot of attention to the details of my fabric & chair, and they were able to return the chair to me promptly. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Major kudos to Dan’s Upholstery! I struggled with the decision to buy a new sofa/​chairs or reupholster my existing sofa/​chairs. Dyan made the decision easy with a very impressive quote. She also took time to come to the house to see my living room, measure furniture and help me with fabric decisions. Customer service at its best. She followed up on a regular basis. I was blown away by the quick turn around with my furniture and the results completely exceeded my expectations. My friends and family can’t get over the difference. I love the job they did. I whole heartedly recommend Dan’s and be sure to ask for Dyan. There’s nothing better than supporting small local business. Thanks again Dyan!

Very happy with the work done on my sofa, chair, and ottoman. The at home consultation was very informative in making decisions on style and fabrics. It really helped to see the fabrics in my own home.
The final product turned out great! There were a couple of glitches in the delivery time and a missing pillow but they were quick to rectify the problems to my satisfaction.
Good experience and I would use them again.

I am so pleased with their work.
My loveseat was becoming an eyesore. I looked for a new one, but found nothing I liked — and I hated to just discard it. A neighbor told me about Dan’s Upholstery in San Carlos. They’d moved to Belmont, and their new showroom has soooo many fabric samples & books. The selection seemed endless… and a lot of it was in-​stock.
They helped me pick out fabric, picked up the loveseat, and before I knew it, I had a brand new (looking) loveseat!!! Their workmanship is great — the patterns on the cushions matched the frame to perfection, all the seams were straight, I was very pleased — and still am.
I was so happy with the results & low cost of recovering my loveseat that I decided to have my recliner loveseat done. Well… they did a great job — again!
Even though the recliner was kind of a pain to do because of some of the changes I wanted made, it still came out looking gorgeous!!! Evidently most of the upholsterers have been with the company for many years, & Dan’s Upholstery has been in business for over 30 years. It shows. I just wish I had more stuff to recover (probably will if the cat has anything to say about it…).
Quality work at reasonable prices — love it!

I stopped in to see if they were to reupholster part of a chair. They were able to do so and in a timely manner. I worked with Dyan and she was nice to work with and very knowledgeable. I will be taking more chairs to them

Just picked up my accent chair today and I am so very happy with the results! Dyan was so patient in letting me bring home sample material colors multiple times and also gave helpful suggestions. I would highly recommend Dan’s Upholstery to anyone.

Dan’s did a great job recovering my couch! They were half the price of Mario’s and had the couch done in 10 days and even scotchguarded it for free! It looks great and I couldn’t give a better review. Thanks to Brian for getting everything done so quickly for me:-)

Dan’s Upholstery is terrific!!!
They not only do first rate work, but are reasonable, too!
During a move, I lost a cushion from a sofa I had recovered.
The good news? I had purchased extra fabric when I had it done.
The bad news? The cost estimates from a supposedly highly rated shop in Palo Alto was through the roof for just one cushion.
I received a flyer from Dan’s in a Val-​Pack and decided to try them out.
I popped in with the fabric and insert and received a very reasonable quote by Dyan who was very nice and helpful. I left the fabric and cushion and in just a couple of days I was called back saying my cushion was ready! They were fast! I was expecting it to take a couple of weeks!
The workmanship was superb! This was a tricky job as the cushion had welting around the top and bottom and it the fabric was velvet which is a very tricking sewing material. The new cushion matches the old one and the rest of the sofa perfectly.
I’ll post pix soon.
I plan to have them handle a few other items that need attention.
I am very, very pleased!

Dan’s upholstered a piano bench for us and did an excellent job. They let us take fabric samples home so that we could choose a color and pattern that would work in our living room. The work was done very quickly and professionally.
I recommend them very highly.

I recommend Dan’s Upholstery very highly. I have worked exclusively with Dyan Lloyd, a design consultant there. She came to my home, and gave me great advice about fabrics and colors. I ended up hiring Dan’s to do pillows for my outdoor teak dining set, pillows for my indoor couches, and they also reupholstered a bench for me. They are amazing. The quality is superb and their prices are reasonable. Plus, you’ve got the service and advice of someone like Dyan who really cares about everything turning out really well. What a great experience, all around.

Amazing place.
I am a new bachelor and I have some pretty expensive taste as I tend to like Renaissance Art and dark rich leathers and colors. So I wanted a certain look and feel to my new place that expressed my personality. I also wanted a place that was comfortable and peaceful where I could feel centered when I came home.
I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted so I took some pictures of my older sofa set with the love seat, sofa, chair and ottoman over to Brian at Dan’s. I must have spent two hours there and he was extremely patient, very knowledgeable, a great eye for design. He listened patiently as I described what I was trying to achieve. He helped me pick out some fabrics and a new design and I must say I got enthusiastic about the final look. But I got a little worried since I thought the cost would be very high, but I was amazed at how little it cost, much less than a new discounted sofa set and I got exactly the look I was looking for. Not only that, I got the set picked up and delivered really fast.
I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking to make their place look like a palace. Such service and competence is rare in this business marketplace these days.

I had my dining room chairs reupholstered, with great success! Dan’s service — pick up and delivery was timely and efficient. Dyan Floyd, the designer, picked out the perfect fabric and color for me. I highly recommend them.

Dan’s has an amazing collection of fabrics to choose from. Their upholstery work on our chair and the three matching toss pillows we ordered were done beautifully. My issue is with the customer interface. The sales woman acted pretty disinterested in our project, though was somewhat helpful. To her credit, she did correctly collect all pertinent information and make some valuable recommendations. She then acted as if our choice of fabrics was just so-​so. She also promised delivery that they didn’t meet – by a long shot, over a month later. I’d much prefer a promise that they can meet. Better to promise a long delivery date and then deliver sooner than expected. If you can get over a disinterested sales contact, Dan’s is a great upholsterer.

Dans upholstery is great, they are fast and do great work, Manuel is the best, Charlene and all the staff are very friendly. great job guys.
