The Good Stuff
Pickup delivery
Several customers had sofas collected and returned on time, including a three-seater that was refoamed.
Fabric samples
The team brings material and colour samples to your home so you can compare them with your interiors.
Leather repairs
A recliner repair included new leather, fresh cushion filling, matched stitching and a repaired pull handle.
Quick fixes
One chair upholstery repair was completed neatly in 20 minutes after a prompt response.
Staged repairs
An eight-year-old furniture set was repaired in two parts so the customer was not left without all their furniture.
Tips for a Better Visit
Compare quotes. For a fabric change, ask for more than one quote; one customer was quoted Aed 1950/- for a three-seater.
Request samples. Ask to see and touch fabric or colour samples before choosing; the team has brought samples to customers’ homes.
Confirm logistics. Confirm whether pickup, delivery and wrapping are included, especially for a small repair.
Ask about staging. If you rely on your furniture daily, ask whether the repairs can be split into stages rather than taking everything at once.

Common Concerns
Quote variation
One three-seater owner was quoted Aed 1950/- for a fabric change on a sofa bought new for around Aed 1500/-, so compare quotes first.
Small-job complaint
A customer found a small cushion replacement expensive and reported no wrapping or collection service for that job.
Customer-reported prices
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.
Aed 1950/-
fabric change
“To my surprise, the quote I received was Aed 1950/- just for the fabric change! This price was far beyond what I anticipated and felt misleading, especially considering the reviews I read seemed too good to be true”Google review · August 2024
150 Dhs
cushion replacement
“The owner is very rude, when I told him 150 Dhs was too much for the small less than 10 sq cm of cushion replacement, he threw back the 150 Dhs at me and said, go take it free”Google review · September 2022

The Bottom Line
This Al Karama upholstery shop is mainly used for recovering tired sofas and chairs rather than replacing them. Customers mention three-seater sofas, L-shaped sofa beds, recliners, dining chairs and office seating, with work ranging from new fabric and foam to leather replacement and repairs to internal parts. Several reviews say the finished furniture looked new again, including a leather sofa that had started to sink and recliners with peeling leather and flattened cushions.
The process is often more convenient than a workshop drop-off. Reviews describe home assessments, fabric samples brought out for customers to handle, sofa collection, and delivery back within the quoted timeframe. One small chair repair was completed in 20 minutes, while larger projects commonly took several days; a seven-seater set was returned in six days, and another eight-year-old set was handled in two stages so the customer was not left without furniture.
Curtain work and curtain rails are also mentioned. Pricing needs a little checking. Many customers describe rates as reasonable or competitive, but one three-seater fabric-change quote was Aed 1950/-, while another customer objected to paying 150 Dhs for a small cushion replacement.
Ask for a written quote, clarify collection and delivery, and compare prices before committing.
