Joanne was very helpful. Although my first choice pattern was discontinued ( fabric supplier not upholterer), I am very happy with my lovely, very old curved wing-back chair. The desk chair is great too.

They repaired a rip in the fabric on the back seat of my car. It is an excellent job and fits right in with the detail of the seats.

The job was satisfactory but still showed the initial blemishes that I assumed were not going to be visible. Overall, a good experience.

It was great. I sent a picture in of my chairs, via text cause it was easier for me. I knew what I wanted and was texted a few color choices in the pattern. I got a quote and with in 2 days the 10 chairs were picked up, 2 weeks later delivered and I love them.

They were very hard to get a hold of and while the work was good, I did not enjoy interacting with them and would most likely not use them again.

It was a great benefit to have a one stop shop and even better to find a quality repair company. It was a great experience and super convenient...I will use service magic and reccommend both businesses in the future.
