Had the sofa cushion foam replaced. Slipcover Plus did an excellent job. Now our sofa is as good as new. Plus the cushion foam was completed in 2 weeks as we were told. Would definitely recommend them!

Anthony and his team are amazing. I originally used Slipcover Plus about 5 years ago. They made two sets of slipcovers for my family room couch and chairs. They were made beautifully and are still as stunning today as when they were first made. They also did curtains for my family room and roman shades for my kitchen. It's wonderful when you find a business like Slipcover Plus. There's no running from place to place to get what you need. They do it all ... impeccably.

Incredible response time to my inquiry regarding two chairs that I wanted upholstered. In one call I was able to understand pricing, lead time and options for fabric. Amazing professionalism and patience. Yes I recommend you call and let the slipcover team answer your questions and advise on you on how to get the job done!! It was so easy.

Ive lived in Forest Park for over 15 yrs and never noticed this business. But on Friday, October 15th I did and Im glad I did. Ceil was very friendly and very professional. I am having my grandmothers wooden rocking chair reupholstered and refinished. Ceil was helpful in selecting the color of fabrics I was looking for (they have a array of fabrics to choice from). She prepared a couple of estimates to have everything done. I have 2 more weeks until it is completed and Im very excited to see the finished product. I stopped in there on Saturday just to get an update. Ceil and the other

I called Slipcover Plus to get a quote on having two chairs and a couch slipcovered and they got back to me the same day. Their prices were very reasonable and Anthony was able to come out the following week to do all the initial cutting. Everyone I have dealt with has been very helpful and professional. I am looking forward to getting my slipcovers in time for Christmas.
