Would definitely recommend Keith and Edinburgh Upholstery. My very tatty and well used Edwardian chaise is now an extremely classy and elegant piece of furniture that's also a joy to use. Thank you!

I can't recommend Edinburgh Apholstery enough! I had a really terrible situation were my puppy chewed my clients sofa, as you can imagine I was horrified. Keith came and gave me a quote did the work and got the sofa back to its original state in no time at all, can't thank this man enough! He even took a money off the quote he had gave me because it didn't take him as long as he had thought. Not many companies would do this so I'd like to thank Keith once again for your amazing service and honesty.
