Chimo’s Upholstery - Los Angeles, California

Christin Singleton

Chemo's was recommended by a VERY persnickety friend who uses them often for design jobs. Excellent job! The Chemo's team rebuilt the seat and back support & padding for a favorite (and valuable) vintage chair. The upholstery is complicated - lots of buttoned tufting on both areas. Too much or too little padding would change the original contour. They nailed it! I did not have the chair reupholstered at this time because the fabric is very special and I haven't found a match or affordable alternative. Their work makes the fabric look so much better that I won't need to have that redone. Great price, no fuss pick up and return exactly when expected, and the people that I spoke with were friendly and informed. From start to finish, it couldn't have been a better experience. I'm scheduling another job now.

Heard about Chimo's from Nextdoor...had leather couch covers that needed a lot of TLC. Chimo and his team were great. Nice work, reasonably priced and more than happy with the whole experience. May get another couch reUpholstered too now. They have parking in the back too.

I have used Chemo's Upholstery for at least 15 projects. They have saved my sofas three times from a Lab the made Marley look like a saint, two sets of outdoor furniture, curtains, pillows, seat cushions for antique Stickley furniture, and more. They are always quick and always a fair price. One of the best in Los Angeles.

Five Stars for Chemo’s! I was recently in LA and in need of emergency upholstery work. Chemo’s arrived in the morning to pick up the broken chair and returned it a few hours later. The delivery team was efficient and cheerful. I’m a fan!

It would be a fair price IF the work wasnt mediocre AND the service wasn't terrible, dont waste your time and money.

I took my 4 1950's style dining room chairs here to get reupholstered. I had a very specific type of material I was looking for and they were able to order it for me which was great. I was initially told they would be ready in 2 weeks. One week to receive the fabric order and one week to do the work. Fair enough. I drop my chairs off and pay the deposit, and call just after the 2 weeks only to find out that there was a delay receiving the fabric, and that it'll be another few days. Bummer but ok, these things happen. I call just over a week later and it still isnt ready yet. Now I'm getting annoyed, it's been almost double the amount of time I was quoted and still no chairs and no one is communicating with me to let me know what's going on. Then they promise that the chairs will be ready in a few days. I finally call after a few days and they're ready, I go and pick them up and the work seems to be decent and they knocked $30 off the total price for my trouble. (Which for what I was paying that isnt very much.)

One month later, I notice two of the screws on the backs of one of the chairs has come loose and is stripped so I'm unable to tighten it myself. I bring the chair back for repair, they say they'll fix it and can possibly deliver it to me a week later. Ok great. This is their chance to redeem themselves. I call after not hearing anything for THREE WEEKS and my chair has been fixed, but no one called me to let me know. I arrange a time to come and pick up the chair a couple days later and she gives me their business hours for that day and says just call before I come over, I say ok. I call that morning after they're supposedly open, 3 times no answer. Finally I get a call back I say I can be there in 20 minutes she says ok. I get there right at 20 minutes and no one is there!! I call them 2x and she picks up only to say they're our on a delivery and they'll be there in 15 minutes?! I'm sorry, I'm a very patient and understanding person but that is crazy!

Someone who I think is the owner turned up after waiting at the door for 20 minutes. I said I was there for my chair, he went and got it and set it down right in front of me and walked away. No apology for making me wait OR for having to come back to get it fixed. I have never experienced such TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! It initially felt good to support a small family business, but they've lost me as a customer. Sad. Dont waste your time and money.
