I cannot rate South West Upholstery highly enough. They have been extremely helpful, quick to respond & dare I say patient throughout. They happily sent numerous samples of leather & fabric before we settled on a leather to cover our dining chairs. They answered all our questions quickly but without any pressure. The chairs have been beautifully recovered & we are extremely pleased. Do not hesitate to use them.

Very efficient service. Our leather armchair that had a broken spring was picked up from home and returned just over a week later. Spring repaired, seating fabric under the cushion stitched in place and the seat cushion plus one from our other similar chair, refilled. Absolutely delighted with the result, thank you SWU team, the chairs look great.
