CheersPosted on Ronak Modi It’s amazing to get our old stuff look new. Thanks to Upholstery World.Posted on Jenna Roake I reached out to Sejal to finish some new bench seats we had put in. Both Sejal and Viraj were really prompt with coming to visit, listening to the types of fabric and interior look we were going for and produced some stunning squabs that we are really happy with. We also had our curtains shortened to suit the new bench seats. The only slight issue was that we had get the squabs and curtains redone twice. The squab piping wasn’t on the edges of the squabs and there was bulk of fabric at the bottom of the squabs. The curtains & backing hadn’t been individually sewn causing bulging at the bottom. But Viraj was more than happy to understand what we were looking for and took both the squabs and curtains back to ensure a beautiful result. Thank you both for your patience and producing a stunning feature in our home.Posted on Joanne Jorgensen 22/7/25. Viraj came out and saw us in in our home in quick time to view our very cat scratched dining room chairs. Within 1 week they were looking brand new with the fabric we had chosen from samples Viraj had brought with him. Viraj was very helpful, professional and courteous in his approach to us. The cost was very reasonable and we would highly recommend anyone looking for upholstery needs to give Viraj a call.Posted on Alison Blaiklock We thought our old sofas were so munted and worn that they were beyond repair. But Viraj and Upholstery World did amazing, beautiful and affordable work restoring them and now we feel like we are in a luxurious resort! Viraj was considerate, great to communicate with, and gave very helpful advice.Posted on Andrew Malmo I agree with the other reviewers here. Upholstery World did an awesome job of two seat cushions, I'm super happy with the result. Really great service from first contact to delivery, thanks very much Viraj! Highly recommend.Posted on Anna Trotter Viraj has just delivered our beautiful 50+ year old arm chairs recovered and they look amazing! From the moment I contacted Upholstery World we had a five star service. He was super efficient, very reasonable, he collected and returned the chairs with no hassle at all. The upholstery job is top notch and he organised the purchase of the fabric from Warwick in Auckland for me. The entire process was seamless ... big thanks to Viraj, I would HIGHLY recommend him!
