The level of craftsmanship that went into restoring my antique table was top quality. The craftsmen at Oscar Deco genuinely care about the art of restoration. Trustworthy, reliable and passionate. Will definitely continue to bring my antique pieces to Oscar Deco for amazing finished products!
My late Grandmother left me her once very beautiful 50+-year-old chaise lounge in badly need of loving care. I started searching for someone who could help guide me thought-out the process of getting the chaise restore to greatness.I came across Oscar Deco and read the reviews. I was surprised and pleased to read current reviews of the good works coming from Oscar Deco. From all the great reviews, high star ratings, and the professional web site I submitted an inquiry and requested a quote.I received an email from Aida and our wonderful relationship began. We communicated a lot via emails and on the phone. Aida came across as a loving and caring woman who takes much proud in everything she does and genuinely enjoys helping people. She guided me in the direction of some fabric stores to pick out the perfect fabric for my future showpiece.I finally found two difference fabrics, one texture and the other solid. I arranged a meeting with Aida at the showroom, where I met her in person along with Oscar. I felt like I was among family as Aida and myself figure out the placement on the two different fabrics and schedule pickup date and time.Once, Aida and Oscar had my poor chaise in-house they were able to assess what needed to be done. Aida kept me updated to all the internals issues of the chaise and any additional cost.The day came when Oscar delivered the chaise and as he was turning the corner on the stairs, I saw the top position and I started to tear up. He carefully brought the chaise in my living room and started to unwrap and I could not believe my eyes. He had restored my Grandmothers very old and batter chaise into an absolutely beautiful masterpiece. I am so very grateful to Aida and Oscar because they brought back a piece of my Grandmother to me in the form of a wonderful, elegant, piece of art. The sight of the chaise would have bought tears to her eyes as well. There are no words that can express fully how I am so very grateful for the amazing job Aida and Oscar has done. They are very kind, respectful, patient, and professional people. I enjoyed working with them on my very special project. I wish I had more furniture for them bring back to life. I highly recommend Aida and Oscar because they are amazing, awesome people who takes proud and care in the work they do for others. You will not found anyone that will take the time and care to refurbish your beloved furniture.
Wonderful job! I found this family-owned business online and a call to Aida ensured I was in good hands. She recommended a few fabric stores and after visiting one next to their shop in Queens I decided to drop in. I met Oscar and their son and was given great recommendations for my chair. The photos arent clear enough to show the contrast fabric, but it was a great idea of Oscars and gives this classic chair a modern flair. They were great to work with, delivery was timely and well organized and best workmanship bar none. They even sent me back the extra fabric. I cant wait to start on my other projects with them. I also feel great about supporting a family business.
Posting and reviewing my experiences on line is not one of my forte, but this time I really wanted to share my wonderful experience with Oscar Deco, Inc, so here it goes:I found Oscar Deco Inc after meeting and interviewing six different companies, and I will continue trusting my judgment.Oscar and Aida are different from the rest, they truly care about the projects they work on, and they are industry professionals. I had never done a restoration or re-upholstery project in my life, so I needed hand holding. They guided me through the process of fabric selection defining my color combination, etc.It took me months to visit all the fabric stores, and weeks to make the selection of my fabric, I went from wishing a blue sectional to later deciding to go beige, and I am glad I did. Beige it is.My sofa came home two weeks ago, and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the two pieces arrive with the additional throw pillows. The craftsmanship is outstanding, the piping and finishing details are beautifully done, and I love my sofa. I could have never found a sofa that is so me anywhere without spending a ton of money. The fabric color and pillow combinations were all my own design, and Oscar Deco Inc did his part in reconditioning and reupholstering the two pieces thus creating a one-of-a-kind sofa sectional that can’t be bought at any store. If you were having thoughts about a re-upholstery project I would only hope you would find people like them.
After moving into a new home we brought our beloved English antique dining set to The Fine Art of Restoration to be refinished. From our first encounter with Aida to the final pick up of the furniture all of our expectations have been exceeded. Oscar was informative & our conversations reflected his knowledge of wood & furniture, in addition to the admiration he has for both. He is a true artisan. All of my communication with Aida was timely & very cordial. We had a request that the piece be completed in time for an upcoming housewarming party we have planned for the end of August & the project was completed in 2 weeks. It looks beautiful. Without hesitation I highly recommend The Fine Art of Restoration.
When we brought in the rickety dining room chairs we bought on Craigslist, we were hoping Oscar could spruce them up a little, replacing the tattered seat pads with the fabric of our choice. We had no idea that when we picked them up, itd be like we were taking home brand new chairs.Oscar is a master of his craft. His enthusiasm for his work is palpable in the way he talks about a project. When he looked at our chairs, he offered to take apart the weak frame and reglue it back together. This additional work would increase the phone estimate considerably, but Oscar and Aida were upfront and honest about the cost and didnt pressure us into paying it.Even so, it was well worth the price. The chairs, once sticky, unstable, and fraying, are now the rock-solid centerpiece of our dining room, all thanks to Oscar. He completely replaced the pads, cleaned the chairs, and had them looking better than ever. Throughout the process, Oscar exuded professionalism and kept us updated. He even finished early! We cannot recommend Oscar enough and look forward to working with him again.
Exceptional quality, service, and a real appreciation for handling each job is what you get at Oscar Deco. Oscar and his wife Aida have beautifully refinished many of our antique furniture pieces, including a bed, dressers, commodes, chairs and a huge oak armoire. The work was museum-quality and done with great care. Oscar also did hand-caning on several chairs. The latest work was reupholstering a sofa bed. This was new territory for us, but Aidas did a fabulous job with the fabric we provided. Its like we have a whole new sofa. My husband and I cant recommend them enough.
Oscar Deco reupholstered an armchair and bench for me and both are beautiful. The workmanship is flawless and both he and Aida are wonderful people who clearly take pride in what they do.The bench was done in an African mud cloth, which is not easy to work with, and they handled it beautifully, with great attention to detail. It couldnt have been a better experience! Highly recommended.
Oscar Deco repaired and beautifully reupholstered my aging Room and Board sofa. A spring in the seat had broken and the original linen upholstery had torn across the seat. Oscar Deco repaired and reinforced the seat and covered the sofa in leather. They worked the leather expertly. There are no seams in the leather across the expanse of the seat or back. The welts are finished beautifully in leather piping. They kept me updated on the progress of the work, and delivered the finished sofa on time and carefully. The final cost was an excellent value for such care and craftsmanship. I highly recommend Oscar Deco.
The quality of their work is very good. However, they are not good when addressing their own mistakes. We purchased a fabric to reupholster our couch with Oscar. It was a two sided fabric and we wanted to use the less traditional side. We specifically purchased the fabric because Oscar okayed the idea. He and Aida made notes on our order to ensure that their staff used the other side. Aida even marked up the fabric to visually make it easier for the staff. Unfortunately, when we picked up the coach, the wrong side was used. I understand mistakes happen, but Aida’s reaction was not acceptable. She tried to convince us that no error had been made on her and Oscar’s part, despite her own order notes proving the contrary. A lot of unpleasant exchanges followed. I get that this error was a costly one to the business (they had to repurchase a lot of expensive fabric and redo everything and we had to pay another significant delivery cost), but the mistake was their staffs’ and not ours. Aida was rude and at times downright belligerent. Despite the very fine craftsmanship, we will not be returning.
One of the very best businesses in the city. Oscar and Aida are super talented, highly principled, wonderful people. They transformed my wobbly, damaged Victorian fainting couch into an elegant reupholstered work of art. I couldn’t be happier with their service and craftsmanship. They even showed me how to steady my wobbly Mersman coffee table myself, saving me time, money and trouble! I can’t say enough good things about this business. Thank you, Oscar and Aida!
We recently had three antique silverware chests refinished at Oscar Deco, Inc, and we couldnt be more pleased. These chests are special to us as they were handed down from my wifes grandmother. Oscar did a beautiful job, removing every scratch and scuff, and restoring it back to its original look and feel. Everyone we spoke to was pleasant, helpful and seemed genuinely interested in the project. Highly recommend!
Oscar Deco does perfect work, they are very nice and helpful people. They did a chair and ottoman for me and it looks better than it did when I purchased it new. They redid the padding so its nice and sturdy yet comfortable and a beautiful job with the upholstery. And, they pick up and deliver if you dont have a car! I highly recommend them.
Oscar and Aida have restored a number of my antique wood pieces and reupholstered my couch, a club chair, a reading chair, and a sofa. I trust them not only as craftsman but as people. I know them to be honest, forthright, and kind. There is no one that beats their expertise or their character. I highly recommend them.
Oscar recovered a pair of wing chairs for me and did an astoundingly good job by several measures:1. He was fast. The job was completed in less that two weeks!2. He worked with my budget and was extremely good natured and ungrudging about it!3. The work he did was beautiful! As good as any reupholstery job I have ever seen!4. And he is seriously nice and a pleasure to do business with!So: What more could you possibly want?!
It was my good luck to find Oscar Deco while researching refinishers in September. I found Oscar Deco online and was impressed by the 5 star reviews across the board. The china closet, table and chairs given to Oscar for refinishing were originally owned by my grandparents. After many years of wear and tear the set needed to be stripped and refinshed to bring it back to its original glory.Througout the process Aida kept me informed every step of the way.The end result was a beautiful, thoroughly professional job that now reveals the true beauty of the wood, including all the ornamental details that made the set so special.They are now working on a wicker rocking chair and I cant wait to see it.Oscar is a master at his craft.
My wife and I live in Queens and found Oscar Deco, Inc. by chance. Were very happy that we did. Over the past year weve had Oscar work on a few projects, and all came out even better than we expected. He is currently making our queen-sized headboard into a king-size and were sure the result will be outstanding.
Needed repair of my oak table with four leafs. Repair needed to included repair of cracks, sanded, stained and refinished. After searching for someone to refurbish my oak table. I found Oscar. Excellent communication via email and phone. Sent a few photos of the table. Received and estimate along with time table of the repair. They came and picked up my table. the table was dropped off and set up with out a hitch. The work and service was excellent.Thanks
Sloppy repairs of a wooden Armoire and glass Display Case. Initial timeframe to do work was about 2 months; at the end of 6 months, still no news. After I pressed them, he brought them home in a few weeks. Neither of them were well repaired, unfinished work and after several emails and calls, he came back to fix them. Within 2 weeks of repair, the wooden Armoire was showing cracks. He came up with several excuses of needing a humidifier, floor level, etc; everything to point fingers to someone else but not his workmanship. He said the cracks are appearing in new areas and we would be charged for additional work instead of standing by his workmanship; this is happening as he did not do a good job fixing the piece in its entirety.
Our couch looks great, unfortunately a seam is unraveling after only a few months and apparently it our responsibility to bring the piece to their location for a fix (a 50 min drive in a car we dont own). I would think twice before using them if you live far or dont have a car.

2022-02-07I looked for a long time to find an upholsterer for my beloved deco-style furniture. Then I found Oscar and Aida. Im so glad I waited. They are so generous and professional. It began with them giving me a bunch of upholstery books to take home with me over a weekend to help me pick the perfect material. They did everything exactly when and how they said they would. Others told me they would need my furniture for 6-8 weeks. Oscar and Aida got it all done in three weeks, which is what they told me in the beginning. The furniture is back and so beautiful! I cant recommend them enough. If I could give them a ten, I would!

2022-03-30Oscar and his crew completely rebuilt and reupholstered about eight chairs, one sofa and a couple of ottomons for our NYC apartment. All things in different sizes. Oscar was with us from start to finish, i.e. visiting our house to review the job, helping source and select fabrics, discussing cushiniong and other options, etc. Oscar and Aida, wife and office manager, were always responsive and helpful through the process. They pay attention to details, to working with your schedules, and more. They do first class work and do it on time, with great expertise and with kindness.

2020-02-17Ive had a wonderful experience with Oscar and his lovely wife, Aida. Aida is the upholsterer and cushion maker and Oscars specialty is woodworking. I recently did a renovation of my apartment and had furniture I wished to keep, for many reasons, but it needed new life. I am so lucky to have found Aida and Oscar to help, for their work is truly impecable and they put copious amounts of care and attention into my furniture. They are an American success story, hardworking people from Colombia, who came to this country and built a wonderful family business. They radiate kindness and pride in their work. I feel so lucky to have found and engaged them in helping me to restore my old furniture.

2018-04-07Oscar did a miracle job on an antique chair that has been in my family for 100 years that was broken accidentally. He repaired it so well its stronger than before, treated the wood, and reupholstered the seat beautifully, With his wife and son running the office, they are friendly, caring, efficient, and very accessible. Oscar is a true artist. We are so lucky to have a business like this in the Elmhurst-Jackson Heights area. Bring all your furniture to Oscar for restoration!

2017-04-30While looking for an upholsterer to restore our antique sofa, we happened upon the Yelp reviews of Oscar Deco, a family owned and operated business specializing in restoration of all kinds of furniture and wood work. Up to this point, we hadn’t seen anything approaching the raves this lovely family has received for their work. And the raves were well deserved as we found out upon completion of our nearly one hundred year old sofa. It is an absolute work of art!From the very beginning we were charmed by Oscar’s wife Aida, as well as Oscar himself. They could not have been nicer or more accommodating. We brought them several swatches of possible fabrics. Ultimately, we purchased a beautiful mohair fabric in a store near their establishment. We had spent weeks looking for the perfect fabric and we don’t think we could have made a better choice. And they agreed. The entire piece was stripped down to the “bones” of the sofa. Much of the old padding and horsehair was disintegrating and the springs were an absolute mess. Oscar, Aida and their staff went to work and restored it beautifully. We highly recommend Oscar Deco for their fine workmanship and wonderful attention to detail. Were trying to include a “before” and “after” photo so you can see for yourself

2019-04-01This is an absolutely top notch place. From their artistry all the way down to their customer service, Oscar and Aida are masters of their craft. They did a miraculous restoration job on my Grandmothers chaise lounge that I had pretty much destroyed. They have wonderful taste and they were very helpful in guiding me through the process of how and what is possible in terms of design. They were also incredibly patient as I searched for the perfect fabric and they suggested several upholstery shops to aid in my search. I cannot recommend Oscar Deco highly enough!

2021-09-20Oscar did a beautiful job restoring my dining room table and chairs. He was meticulous in the work and everything was exactly as promised. He and his team are upfront and provide excellent service. I cant recommend them highly enough.

2020-08-04I recently picked up my reupholstered chair and the results surpassed my expectations. Oscar and Aida are artists and they love their craft. I was so impressed with their service that I referred family and friends prior to seeing my end results. My sister had the mate to my chair reupholstered and she is also very satisfied. I have another chair that will be ready for pick up in a few days. I’m excited because I gave Oscar total design privileges. I’m ready for the reveal. These chairs have sentimental value and I trusted Oscar Deco and they did not disappoint. I’m looking around the house to see if I can upholster another chair.

2019-08-03Oscar refurbed my two B.L. Marble midcentury armchairs with spectacular vision and attention to detail. He is a gifted craftsman, and friendly to boot! Prices were reasonable and all materials used were high quality. I highly recommend.
