Fantastic workroom where the owners and management have countless years experience and who really know their stuff. Its been a pleasure to work with them and love that I can stop by and meet with them in person to go over a drapery project at hand. They are full service, great with communication, and do a stellar job from start to finish.

I am a 2nd generation interior designer and have worked with many excellent craftspersons. It was an absolute pleasure collaborating with Don's Drapery Manufacturing on a recent project in Montclair. The staff were talented, knowledgeable, professional and met every deadline. They are a workroom I will call upon again and again.
