I am so happy with the work they did. I had them redo the cushions for an old glider and ottoman that was my grandparents. It looks amazing!

OMG! These people are awesome! I took the middle cushion in to have the foam replaced as it had flattened out. I am very impressed! These people are very nice and their reviews are outstanding! Good job Forte!
