Gresham Upholstery — Local services in Gresham

I highly recommend Kandt's in Gresham. We had our counter chairs refurbished there about 4 years ago (picked out a nice, sturdy fabric from one of the numerous sample books and charts they had in the shop and then Mr Kandt did the work removing the old stuffing and fabric and installing the new). When he was done they looked beautiful, like brand new, but I wondered at the time how long it would last looking that great (that's part of the reason I didn't do a review until now). I'm happy to report that even after all the time that has passed since we had them done, they amazingly still look as good as when we brought them home! We use the chairs constantly as we eat almost all our daily meals at the counter, but the seams are still tight, and the fabric still looks and feels new. Any spilled drinks and foods have cleaned right up and there's no stains on any of them. Also the upholstered parts remain smooth and solid, no seams or stray threads have come loose and no sags or wrinkles have appeared. It's as if we just brought the chairs home from the shop. In fact in this day and age it's wonderful to see this kind of craftsmanship, it seems quality workmanship is scarce in the fast-food-mentality society we've become. Though it's been mentioned in another review that Mr. Kandt can be a bit... eccentric? and the shop isn't fancy, and in fact is a bit rustic, we found him nice and professional enough in his business dealings, and had the job completed on time as promised. So maybe 3+ Stars for friendly customer service? and 5+ Stars for quality workmanship and materials - would use them again, and we highly recommend Kandt's to...

Wayne may be a nice guy but professional and honest he is not. I went in to discuss with Wayne a piece I needed to get redone. He sent me on a side trip to get the piece appraised. When I contacted him again to discuss getting the work done he asked me to send him pictures of the piece. I followed those instructions, he told me he would call me with a estimate. I waited a week, no response. I called him again and asked if he had reviewed the photos. His answer was yes, he would have to look at them again and would call me back. He never called. This was poor professionalism. If the job was too complicated or too hard that's what you should have told me and not wasted my time. My time is important like every customer you...

I went to Wyne to do my dining chair upholstery. He is a pretty good person but he is not a professional. He gave me a quote for how much it will cost me to finish the job so, I agreed and put a down payment to order the materials he needs.The problem was all fabric and other parts were already on his hand, but he never call me and it took me like 4 different calls in the whole 2 months to fix my chair. Where, he could of told me that he was busy so I can move along. Not a very...
