We worked with Gary at Beckenstein Fabrics and Interiors. We had a chair that we needed reupholstered and he patiently took the time to go over the fabric options with us. There were so many! They have a great choice of fabrics at many price points. Once we settled on a fabric, we needed the chair done quickly. Gary arranged for it to be picked up and dropped off on time. It was a very good experience and we highly recommend this firm.

I recently had two chairs reupholstered. The staff was incredibly helpful showing me choices of fabric. They had tons of beautiful options. What was especially helpful was their knowledge of the quality and durability. Very experienced with everything. We even had fun while pulling out samples. Chairs came back on time and they look beautiful.

I've had a Club Chair, two Dining Chairs and multiple throw cushions upholstered here and the work is really well done. They offer a convenient pick up and delivery service. The work is done quickly and with fine attention to detail. I highly recommend them!

I've had a few projects completed by Beckenstein (Ebby is the best!). The fabric selection is really the best in the city, the service is terrific, the turnaround time is reasonable for such great work, installation very professional (Thank you Carlos) and the prices are fair. Really great quality product, work, and service.

I couldn't be happier with my newly reupholstered furniture by Beckenstein. It's a one-stop shop that offers delightful personal service, beautiful fabrics and exquisite workmanship. I highly recommend it.

For a while I had been looking to replace the fabric on our dining chair seats. I had a hard time to find a fabric shop that carried stain resistant fabric (read child proof) or a upholstery shop that would replace the fabric. After I visited the Beckenstein store all my problems were solved. The staff was very helpful.

I bought an old chair. Loved the shape. The frame was very sturdy. The upholstery was horrible. Beckenstein had a barrel of fabric that was “very reasonable”. My Victorian chair is now a showcase.My Sofa is beautiful. Saved thousands! Same barrel. Fabric for both was less than $5.00 a yard.My only complaint was that labor, pick up and delivery we’re WAY to high.

Beckenstein Fabric has an encyclopedic selection of fabrics which can be daunting. When asked, they're willing to spend time with you to help narrow down which fabrics you should consider for your upholstery project and budget (which can still be a huge selection), and then identify individual fabrics for final consideration. In doing so, they identify the work- and wear-ability of the fabric so you know in advance how challenging it will be to apply a given fabric to a piece of furniture as well as how it will break-in over time. They also excelled in getting fabrics from the source on a rush basis. I was buying fabrics for a project overseas, and more than once they were able to get us what we needed on a very short turn around for trips to the project. Bottom line: fantastic selection and service!

Nice selection of fabrics, and Garry helped me keep the cost down, not pushing expensive fabrics but working within my budget. I ended up spending less than I expected!

I usually avoid rating goods and services, because I have come to see it as creating content with no reward, but when promoted by Beckenstein to rate their upholstery service, I jumped at the chance. This is because I was so delighted with the job they did. Several years ago they reupholstered a setee and two chairs that I own, and the results are of the highest quality—-and still look gorgeous. They used high quality mohair, which I bought off their sale table at deep discount. Their pick up and delivery was great, too. I would recommend them to anyone, and look forward to working with them again.

I love Beckenstein Fabric. I've been using their services for over 25 years which is a testiment to consistent, high quality work, lovely fabric choices and really good customer service. I'd add that I've priced their work against competetors in NYC and upstate...the price is really the same and sometimes less (especially compared to upstate where there are often fewer fabric choices and work quality may or may not be as good.) Most recent experience: My 16 year old niece wanted a high back chair to sit and read in in her room. We pulled an old one out of storage. It was well made but needed a LOT of TLC. We went to Beckenstein Fabric and Marne worked with my niece to pick out a fabric. She helped her find an inexpensive but lovely fabric that fit our budget. (She also made my niece promise to sit in the chair and read - My niece kept her promise Marne!!) Beckenstein then restored the interior of the chair and reupholstered it. Now a beautiful dark blue velvet high back chair sits in my niece's room! Thank you Marne and Beckenstein!!!Earlier experienceWe have a sun porch with a loveseat and a chair with ottoman probably purchased by our Grandma around 1910. I.e., it was much better quality than all the replacement furniture we looked at so we decided to invest in reupholstering the furniture rather than tossing them and purchasing new furniture that would fall apart in a few years and that we didn't really like. Marne helped me work through what fabric would work best in a sunny area and be durable. Then, when I zeroed in on a fabric collection, she helped me figure out which fabric would work best on what piece of furniture. We LOVE the results and we're coming back with more "heirloom" furniture this year. Thank you to Marne and the team!

I have been working with Beckensteins for over 20 years and they have always had great customer service with great accuracy and accountability with what I ordered. I have had my current couch reupholstered twice by them and from picking fabric samples with William, sitting down with Garry and getting a quote, to delivery and installation - everything was smooth and perfect.Highly recommend their services and staff - this is a one of kind institution, shop here.

Beckenstein reupholstered my Victorian rocking chair, and I am thrilled with the result. The chair looks beautiful, and it is even more comfortable than it was originally. The workmanship is superb in every detail; the price was right; and Garry and his staff could not have been more courteous and helpful throughout the process.

I got my upholstery projects back this week and can't stop and admiring them. Susie and the team at Beckenstein's really know what they're doing - and they do it very well. Am already thinking about what to give them next.
