Cronburg & Becker

(Though the shop is no longer there, Mr Emile Becker can still be reached on the phone number listed.)
Mr Becker worked a miracle on Stickley Morris chair of ours. We had two small pieces of leftover fabric which he used to reupholster the chair. He did such a beautiful job matching the pattern that we could not determine where the seams were. The price was reasonable, and the quality of the work is excellent.
He is now working on 3 chairs and a sofa for us, and has made invaluable suggestions on details and finishing. We are lucky to have found him!

Emile did a wonderful job of reupholstering my two dining chairs and even replaced the arms with lovely wood which he matched up with the wooden legs.
He had lots of good ideas, was reliable, and pleasant to work with.
I would recommend him to anyone who was looking for quality work.

I highly recommend Cronburg and Becker they did an amazing job on my reupholstery
I had my whole living room reupholstered.
They have an amazing selection of fabrics to pick from.
The most important part was educating me on the whole process. Did you know that most upholstery shop do not remove your old fabrics. That’s why other shops will probably rip you off but not cronburg and Becker. They took all the old fabrics off and replaced new foam. I basically have brand new furniture and they retouched the wood as well.
Please give them a call. They’ve been in business longer than any other upholstery shops in San Diego. I also want to point out that they have a showroom full of amazing furniture, accessories, mirrors.
I love this place for its uniqueness and fabulous customer service.
I love my new furniture. Thank you Emile.

I brought a pair of barrel chairs to Emile. They had great sentimental value, as they had belonged to my parents, both whom have passed. This was the second time that I asked Emile to work on an older piece. I left the store with an armload of fabric books and having made my selections returned. I should have know better. Emile had selected the perfect fabric. The end result was simply amazing. Emile is an artist. You don’t rush artists. Our patience was rewarded with twin chairs. Despite a pattern in the fabric, Emile painstakingly matched each so that the fabric is identical at any point on the chair – the arms, seat cushion, back, sides… anywhere.
Emile is truly a treasure, a master craftsman who cares deeply about his work. His artistic eye is flawless, his attention to detail remarkable and the results magnificient.
We would recommend him wholeheartedly for any project.

I have had the pleasure of doing business with Emile Elkaim of Cronburg and Becker for over 4 years. Both he and his staff (Miguel) are wonderful craftsmen producing items of the highest quality. As an avid collector of antiques and all things of ‘luxury’, I was extremely happy to stumble across Emile’s store in Hillcrest. From Fabulous upholstery to custom drapery and all things of a regal nature, Emile truly does have it all. Since discovering the quality of his work, he has completed work on 3 antique sofas that I had in my possession. He recently completed a one of a kind custom bed as well as adding the perfect finishing touch via some fabulous custom drapery to frame my living room windows. I always have additional plans for Emile to continue his adornment of my home… He truly is a master of his trade.

Having recently moved to Hillcrest I was delighted to find Cronburg and Becker. They reupholster, have beautiful antiques and other furniture available and create custom pieces. In addition, they have a large selection of fabrics and have access to every fabric you could ever want. Emile, the owner, has great design ideas and concepts and is a true gentleman. His European touch and attention to detail made the whole process so very enjoyable. Miguel, his workroom magician, has worked for him for 15 years and is a master craftsman (a great guy with whom to work) who did a superb job on each piece I had reupholstered — overstuffed chair, ottoman, 2 smaller chairs and pillows. The work was completed ahead of schedule. You might pay slightly more, but the service, quality and integrity you experience are more than worth the price. Even if you have nothing to reupholster or are not in the market to purchase, if you love beautiful furniture and antiques a visit to Cronburg and Becker is a joy.

Emile and Miguel at Cronburg and Becker are top notch! When I was remodeling my restaurant across the street I went by on a recommendation from a friend. Very impressive showroom with a variety of hand made furniture. I originally went by to get a quote on refurbishing my booths, and from the looks of things I figured they were going to be out of my price range. Emile gave me a very reasonable quote for the highest quality vinyl for my booths. When I brought up the fact that I would also need some chairs both Emile and Miguel showed me a variety of hand made chairs that they thought would compliment my décor. They outfitted my entire dining room and I couldnt be happier. If you are looking for top notch, hand made, custom furniture at a reasonable price for your home or restaurant go talk to Emile and Miguel at Cronburg and Becker.
