Sofas, sectionals, armchairs, recliners, dining chairs, ottomans, headboards, window seats. The piece you can't bring yourself to replace.
Jim and Denny Saarela have been reupholstering chairs, sofas, dining sets, restaurant booths, and the occasional boat seat on N.W. Radial Highway since 1970. Bring in a piece worth saving and we'll tell you straight what it'll take.
We work on what's worth working on. Bring it in — we'll look at it, give you an honest estimate, and tell you if it's a job we'd take on.
Sofas, sectionals, armchairs, recliners, dining chairs, ottomans, headboards, window seats. The piece you can't bring yourself to replace.
Restaurant booths, waiting-room benches, office chairs, healthcare seating. We can work on-site for large jobs or take pieces back to the shop.
Boat seats, classic-car interiors, motorhome cushions, ATV seats. Marine-grade vinyl in stock; weatherproof finish standard.
Antiques and heirloom pieces. Frame repair, new webbing, spring tie, period-appropriate finishes. The slow, careful kind of work.
A wall of swatches at the shop covers most jobs. For specialty work — heirloom matches, designer textiles, your own fabric — bring it in and we'll work with it.
The full swatch wall holds 300+ fabrics at the shop. Come look in person — fabric is something you really want to see and touch before you choose.
Denny Saarela opened the shop in 1970 in a small storefront on N.W. Radial Highway. His son Jim grew up in the workshop — pulling staples after school, learning frames, then springs, then the long apprenticeship of fabric. Jim runs the shop today as President. Denny still comes in most mornings.
Fifty-six years. Same address. Same family. The work is hand-stitched where it should be, machine-sewn where it shouldn't be. The frames get checked. The springs get re-tied. The webbing gets replaced if it's lost its tension. We don't cut corners because we don't have to — the customers we have are the ones who know the difference.
Five out of five on Angi. The kind of reviews where people mention what they brought in by name.
"Brought in a wing chair that had been in my grandmother's house. Jim picked the fabric with me — patient with every question. The chair looks better than I remember it from the seventies. Worth every dollar."
"We had a sixteen-booth restaurant that needed the vinyl replaced. Denny & Son came out, measured, gave us a fair quote, and worked on weekends so we didn't have to close. Two years later the booths still look new."
We're a working shop, not a showroom — so we ask folks to call first. Tell us roughly what the piece is and what shape it's in; we'll set a time for you to bring it in. Estimates are free and unhurried.
