Theresa and Dave have over 33 years of experience in the upholstery industry.
Dave is a City and Guilds-qualified upholsterer. He joined Parker Knoll in 1979 as one of the first apprentices at the Chipping Norton site. As an apprentice he was required to have experience in all aspects of furniture production: from building frames, through to final trim and inspection.
Theresa joined Wesley Barrell, in Charlbury, in 1982 as a machinist and then moved on to upholstery. She then joined Parker Knoll in 1985 as a machinist, working with a wide range of machines and cover types.
Having both moved on to other careers, they have now returned to upholstery to develop new products, restore older furniture and offer a full service by providing soft furnishings such as cushions and curtains for your home.
It’s been a pleasure to deal with such skillful, professional and pleasant people. Nothing was too much trouble, always available and willing to guide and help.

Outstanding Service

We would highly recommend David and Theresa whose service never fell below exceptional. In a world where one has become used to poor communication, inexplicable extra charges and missed timelines, this business shows how it should be done. David always responded constructively to our evolving requirements and delivered a fantastic result much sooner than we had expected. We wouldn't hesitate to use their service again.
Simply outstanding!

5 stars really isn't enough! Dave and Theresa have literally transformed my new home - chairs, headboards, bedskirts, cushions, window seats. Their attention to detail is simply impeccable and their customer service second none. They are an absolutely delightful team to work with and I can't recommend them highly enough.
Excellent, friendly service.

Dave & Theresa did an excellent job fixing my sofa. They were easy to contact and arrange an appointment with and turned up on time. Sofa looks as good as new and they were able to fix it there and then, so I wasn't left without any seating! Very pleased with the quality of work and it didn't take long at all, despite having to take the sofa apart!!Thank you very much
As an operations Manager for Parker Knoll in Chipping Norton I had the pleasure of working with both Dave & Theresa for over 20 years.
Stephen Cooper
I would have no hesitation in recommending their ability to produce high end fabric & upholstery items to an exacting standard through outstanding craftmanship and commitment. Both their attention detail and commitment to providing first class customer service is a real credit to them both.
True 'old school' service with pride of workmanship
Rob T.
Dave has just reupholstered 2 x vintage armchairs and the results are absolutely superb. We provided our own material (Just Fabrics in Burford) and Dave was relaxed about this, even making recommendations on fire retardant treatment. He's someone who provides true 'old school' service and upholstery skills with no surprises. If the lead times seem long it's a sense of how much he's in demand
Fantastic local service
Marc B.
Theresa and David were an absolute joy to work with. They were able to deliver against our requirements perfectly, whilst letting us know exactly what could be achieved, over what time frame and at what cost. We are extremely happy with the finished product and are already briefing them on what we would like to start next. A fantastic local business that I would highly recommend.
Great job done on reupholstering our Tub Chair!
SilverChalk98
Not knowing how we wanted our chair re-upholstered, it was really reassuring that the service we received from D&T Portman was professional, courteous and informative. We received regular updates of how the work was progressing and nothing was too much problem when asked. The delivery was timely and the finish of the work was amazing, such a transformation and a professional job complete! We would certainly recommend using this service again! Job well done! Thank you both!
