We have had several things made by them, Book Case, End Table and 2 Chairs recaned and upolstered. The workmanship as good or better than any commercial company.
As for the Wingback chair, it cost close to half what we were quoted localy.

I have needed my leather recliner reupholstered for some time but have been putting it off. The chair is about 15 years old and fits like a glove except the seat seems to be giving out. I spoke with one upholstery shop and they ballparked 1800 to 2300 to redo it. Spoke with another and he quoted 800 for faux leather, but that is not an option.
So, I called the State Prison in Concord. Victor is out till Monday but I spoke with another gentleman who is sending the paperwork to get the process started. He quoted 265 for labor against 800 that I got from an upholstery shop in Nashua. He asked if I would supply the leather and said the "good stuff" if they supplied it would be about 8 bucks a square foot against 15 bucks a square foot locally. I found a leather shop in Wells Maine that sells full hides ranging from 4 a foot to 8 a foot. I see a road trip to Wells in my near future.
I don't know what the time frame is yet as I haven't spoken with Victor, but I'm anxious to have my recliner redone.
I paid around 1200 for it 15 years ago. To replace it with a comparable quality full leather recliner would be about 2000.
I had heard about this program a few years back but didn't know about the process to get it done. Thanks for this timely information.
