Very disappointed in customer service, seems like they dont need the business. Needed cushion covers made for my rattan dining chairs, they were very expensive for one thing, then really wouldnt even discuss anything with me. Got a much better deal in Honolulu at the Rattan Creations, on beretania street a little hard to find but well worth it.

I called/visited five upholstery companies on this island and Johns had by far the best price and had the exact fabric I wanted. Ryan is a bit casual but they are very professional, quick, and did a beautiful job at the best price of all the places I visited. I highly recommend Johns Upholstery. Dont even think of going elsewhere, it would be a waste of time and money.

The customer service was amazing. The owner Ryan was so accommodating and very helpful when it came to answering questions about fabrics and what was needed to reupholster my furniture. I got to see some of his work and it was really beautiful. His attention to detail was absolutely amazing. If you are looking to get your furniture reupholstered this is the place to go!!! His seamstress is also his wife, she does amazing work with cushions and pillows, so if you need pillows or cushions sewn, this is the place to go!!! This was the third place I went to see about getting my furniture done,
