Is there anyone who does decent work around Greenville, Tyler or further east?

The really good folks who do this don't work cheap. It's becoming a lost art. Cheaper to buy a new "whatever"!

Nina's in Quninlan is very popular with boat owner and one the least expensive around.

The guy who did my golf cart and boat seats was reasonable, but he quoted me $1000 on a sofa. Looking for some more options. Sometimes people who do boats and such aren't always good at furniture.

Had it not been a sentimental piece it would not have been worth it. We provided the material and it was still expensive.

A lot of the older furniture is made way better than new furniture. A lot of the new furniture has cheap material. If you recover an old piece and use decent material, it may last 20+ years and you can get exactly what you want since you are picking the material.

I don't know a thing about alitas that I posted, was given her # by a friend that knew I needed my butt seats redone.

Called Holloway's Custom Upholstery on Ross near downtown Dallas a little while ago. Got a call back in less than 15 minutes. That's how you do business.
