Testimonials

Kind words from those who know our work best

Absolutely delighted with the service from start to finish. Amy was so helpful and has a huge amount of fabrics to browse through! She also ordered samples for me. The chair has been reupholstered beautifully and she also made us some lovely cushions. I’m so happy we decided to use Hillside Upholstery and wholeheartedly recommend!

I have just received a renovated footstool refurbished by Hillside Upholstery. It is perfect, the quality of craftsmanship is superb, it could not be improved. I can and would recommend this company as first class, a joy to deal with and yes I will be using them again

Amy was fantastic, and transformed our special chair! She kept me updated about her progress, stuck to her timescale and was thoroughly professional throughout. I was wavering between a ‘safer’ fabric and a bolder choice. She persuaded me into the latter and I am delighted with the result

Amy created a gorgeous cushion for our living room. She was very helpful when choosing the fabric, giving us lots of advice and help, we love our new cushion and it looks gorgeous in our new home.

Had these dining chairs for a lot of years and the seats especially were way past their prime, but rather than give up on them I decided to try the re-upholstery route.
Amy has been extremely helpful in discussing and providing advice on all aspects to meet the requirement and did this in a genuine, efficient and friendly manner.
Her actual work on the seats was superb, and I’m exceptionally pleased with the result. The chairs look better than ever now. I highly recommend Amy. Thank you.

We are absolutely thrilled with our new dining bench. Amy was fantastic in helping design the structure of the bench as well as fitting the upholstery exactly to what we wanted. She communicated with us throughout, sharing progress/options and provided solutions when issues arose. Her work is really high quality and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Hillside Upholstery. Thank you so much.

Amy’s enthusiasm, efficiency and creative flair was impressive. She transformed an ordinary chair into a unique piece of furniture and was undaunted by using a quirky fabric that I had designed myself. It was a great collaboration. High quality work.

I inherited a chair from my grandmother which had a lot of sentimental value but was also in desperate need of some TLC.
I found Amy via Instagram and I’m so pleased I did. The whole process, from picking the fabric, listening to her advice and finally putting the chair in situ has been fun and I’ll cherish this forever. She’s done such a beautiful job on this little piece of family history.
— Emma, St Albans
I would 100% recommend Hillside upholstery. Amy is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, reliable and good at her work. She is also an all round lovely person to interact with! I’ve just had two chairs upholstered. I did have concerns about the fabric I picked as it was very expensive, with an intricate pattern. My chairs also had a lot of delicate piping. Amy made a success of the job which goes to show how talented she is. I couldn’t be happier with the result. I will be coming back for future projects!
