Custom Upholstery, Built From Scratch To Your Design

Sofas, chairs, and sectionals built piece by piece in our Northridge workshop — not picked off a warehouse floor. Family-owned, honest, and focused on getting it right, not fast.

Sound Familiar?

Every showroom sells the same five looks in the same five fabrics.

Big-box furniture is built to survive a showroom floor, not fifteen years in your living room.

You know exactly what you want — nobody local seems able to build it.

Your grandmother's chair has good bones — but nobody local will touch it.

None of that is a you problem. It's a mass-production problem. And it's fixable, piece by piece.

The Manilla Custom Build

Every piece starts with a conversation, not a catalog. You choose the frame, the fill, and one of 1,000+ fabrics — Tony, Silvia, or Marco builds it by hand in Northridge.

Saghi Kod

I had a sofa, love seat and two chairs. Mr. Marco has done a great job, and all of them turned out better that what I expected. Exceptional service! Definitely recommend their business!

Linda Lombardo

I have classic French arm chairs. They were originally upholstered by the best upholsterer in Beverly Hills. Toni at manila upholstery did a professional job. The quality of the work done on the chairs is remarkable.

Jennifer Martin

Manilla Upholstery recovered two sofas for my client's family room. The quality of their work is excellent, and their attention to detail is outstanding.  Sylvia and Marco are honest and a pleasure to work with.  I highly recommend this business.

Custom Upholstery Questions

The most common questions that people ask are listed below. Still have questions? Contact us.

How is custom upholstery different from buying new furniture?

You control every material choice; a store sells you what's already built.

How long does a custom piece take?

As little as one day from fabric selection to delivery. Larger builds get a firm date at consultation.

Can I bring my own fabric?

Yes, or choose from our 1,000+ in-shop options.

Do you build sectionals?

Yes, any configuration, built to your room's exact dimensions.

What if I don't know what I want yet?

That's what the consultation is for — bring a photo or nothing at all.

Do you work with interior designers?

Yes, we build to spec from a designer's plans.

Is custom upholstery more expensive than buying new?

It varies by fabric and complexity; a well-built custom piece is made to be reupholstered again in 15 years instead of replaced in 2.

Do you serve my city?

Northridge is home base; we also serve Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Encino, Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Santa Monica, and Beverly Hills.
