Simmering Upholstery

I had a few pieces of furniture reupholstered at Simmering's last summer. The dining chairs were done well and have held up. However the two Ligne Roset lounge chairs I took in took at least 5 weeks longer to be completed than promised. I was not given any paper work when the son came to pick up the pieces despite me asking multiple times for it. I would send him an email and he would call me so I never had a written document. I also asked explicitly 3 times for the Ligne Roset tags from the original slip covers to be saved and given back to me. I was assured this would be done. I had to send multiple emails and calls to have the work completed. It took 3 months to be completed. When I finally got the Ligne Roset chairs back there were no labels. I asked in emails and eventually visited the store to ask but was told through an employee (who called him on her cell as I was standing in the store) that they had thrown them out. She stated, "I bet you didn't get any paper work either". I am still so disappointed. The Ligne Roset were to be built up a bit on the seat but this was not done or at least done minimally. The batting was pulling away at the seams upon delivery. I was not going to send the chairs back as I figured I may not see them again. All in all a strange experience and disappointing.

Simmering Upholstery are amazing! We had a very modest budget to give our mid-century thrift store bought sofa the love it needed. Staff were fantastic, helpful and mindful of our limited budget; the fabric we sourced (from another fabric store in a sale) they advised us with how many meters to buy. We are so happy with results! The craftsmanship is beautiful and era correct. We know we will enjoy our sofa for years to come. Such a better way to give new life to a classic piece of furniture than buying new AND supporting a local business. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again!

Bob did an amazing job when he restored an examination chair for my office. He is also very reasonably priced compared to others in Calgary. Highly recommend this place!

We had an unfortunate doggy pee on our couch. Simmering came out within an hour picked up our couch cushions and had them back to us in no time. The cushion looks better than ever and didn’t smell like chemicals!!! Highly recommend this team, it was a pleasure. We will definitely use again.

Jim Simmering was recommended to us by Nada from The Bay downtown and we are so pleased that she shared! Jim came out to see what we needed and gave us a ballpark quote depending on what material we found for my parent's chair. We followed up by going to Simmering's place of business to finalize our choices and were given our quote. Jim came back out to pick up both chairs and gave us an ETA. Both the quote and the ETA were accurate and as you can see, the chairs turned out fabulous! Thank you to Jim and his team! We highly recommend Simmering to anyone looking to have upholstery done.
