Michael Talbert Upholstery

A small shop off the road, can be easy to drive by but is completely worth going to, the person who helped myself and my family member was extremely polite and helpful. For new upholstery cloth/patterns, there are literally thousands of options to choose from and a dozen different options for cushion foam. If you want something done your way, this is the place to go. (In my pictures all the books hanging from walls/stands are full of patterns and cloth types)

Michael Talbert | Portland Upholstery Shop does amazing work. They have done two projects for me, both of which were done with expertise and on time. They have a large selection of fabrics and leather from which to choose. The owner is a joy to work with and is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend them.

Michael Talbert’s Upholstery does excellent work!! I had vintage channel chair that badly needed to be reupholstered. I kept putting if off. Talbert’s Upholstery is in my neighborhood, and I had driven past it countless times and kept thinking to myself, “I need to call these people”. Well, 10 years later, I finally called them and I just can’t tell you happy I am that I did! I received a quote right away from Joel – I compared it to other quotes I received and his quote was very reasonable. Some of the others never got back to me, and those that did, their estimates were sky high and so I assumed they didn’t not want the job. I spoke to Joel about the color I wanted, and also the type and texture of the fabric, and he provided me with many sample books and allowed me to take them home to browse through for several days. My husband and I picked out the fabric we liked, left the chair and a deposit, and a week or two later, voila – our chair had transformed into this beautiful new piece of rejuvenated furniture and took on a whole new personality. I just love, love, love this chair. The workmanship is exquisite, and I appreciate the way they paid attention to the details. I know absolutely nothing about upholstery, and for that matter, any type of sewing, but it seems to me that with a channel chair, mistakes will show – the channels need to be even and aligned so I was very impressed by how perfect the channeling was done. I also talked to Joel about refinishing the chair. We didn’t know what we would find underneath but when they stripped off the dingy, chipped white paint, it turned out the wood was a beautiful hard wood with a nice, natural grain. The refinishing job was also beautiful and done with care. It fits right in with the rest of my furniture. The bottom line – if you have a favorite chair or other piece of furniture you absolutely love that has seen better days – I would highly recommend Talbert’s.
