    Posted 4 days ago

    Oaklands Upholstry recovered a large three piece suite and four dining chairs for us in January 2026. The work was completed in two "batches" in less than four weeks. We are delighted with the results and very happy with communication, workmanship, and price. We would highly recommend.
