I dont feel like this company properly communicates. They charged me a missed apt fee. I had to reschedule due to COVID, but never confirmed a new apt, and never received any confirmation about that apt, yet I was still charged a fee. When they were able to come back out, I was told the service I needed wasnt under warranty, which wasnt their fault, but then also told me there was a $55 service call fee which I was never told about. I wont be coming back and will work with someone else for our furniture needs.

I would never recommend this company to anyone. I had a repair claim submitted by Domicile Furniture on 10/20/2020. I did not receive a call to schedule until February 4, 2021. I was told the very first available appointment was on 2/19 between 9am-12pm. No one showed up during this time, so I called and was informed the technician was not able to make it. They had me reschedule for the next day between 11-2pm. Again no one showed up and I was informed the technician was running late and would call me 30 mins before arriving. I am still waiting on a call. I do not appreciate people wasting my time

Universal Upholstering did an outstanding job with two oversized upholstered chairs. My wife and I very very happy with the quality and craftsmanship. The team is customer focused, listened to our requests and delivered. Couldn't be more satisfied. The entire staff is top notch. By the way the owner is hands on and cares about your satisfaction.
