"Patrick upholstered an old family, double drop end chesterfield for me. Though I had known him for several years and knew he was an upholsterer, I had no idea of the craftsman he is. The standard and quality of his work is superb. He is a unique craftsman in his field and the attention to detail is amazing. From what I've seen in his workshop every finished piece is showroom quality. I'm sure this trade is a dying art and Patrick is one of a kind and at the top of his profession."
