Fibrenew Manhattan Central

Saul is a true businessman and provides an excellent service. After reading his reviews and having him come by for an estimate, I decided to have my leather recliner chair refinished. It looks as if it is new after Saul’s work!!! It’s 15 years old and was in somewhat decent shape other than the leather was worn out and had numerous scratches from normal daily use, and from my kids’ use. It desperately needed some tender loving care, and a Fibrenew overhaul. Saul did an excellent job refinishing the leather. I love how it looks now. I would highly recommend Fibrenew, and Saul specifically, for his expertise and amazing service!

Saul was a true professional and did a remarkable job on the repair of my leather sofa. I would highly recommend him to anyone he is clean, thorough, and an artist!

Saul did an excellent job on my leather sectional couch with 8 years of wear and tear — now it looks near new! He is very professional and the price was very reasonable. Really glad I discovered this service.

A couple of tears opened up on the back of my ancient chocolate leather Chesterfield and I remembered reading NY Mag’s strong recommendation of Saul and Fibrenew a few days earlier. He came, saw, and conquered those rips with very effective under-​patching. First-​class, efficient service and a helluva nice guy. Highly recommend.

Saul Just left and I had to write a review immediately.
He is such a nice person and very accomodating. He was able to work with us with our schedule and so gracious all along the way.
He is a true artist! Our leather Natuzzi couches had some wear to them and we were about to try to get them reupholstred when I found Fibrenew. I sent in some pictures and we eventually came to the conclusion that the couches could be spot treated. We agreed on a VERY resonable price. Saul underplayed his talent immensely and said he will try his best to give them new life but it may not be perfect! I don’t know what his definition of perfect is but my couches are the same exact color as when I first bought them. TOTALLY AMAZING!
If anyone is thinking about getting their leather couches recovered or throwing them out, call Fibrenew Manhattan Central first! You will not regret it!

Saul did a wonderful job repairing and cleaning my leather sectional. His work is top notch and his work ethic is beyond compare! He arrived on time and worked 7 hours straight until the work was up to his professional standard.
I have had my couch for about 14 years and it is so comfortable! I would have hated to replace it! So… I contacted Saul. His honesty, professionalism and expertise is inspiring. I highly recommend him!

I recently used Fibrenew/​Saul to re-​dye some faded sections of my 8 year-​old high-​end brown leather sectional couch and he did a great job. I found Saul to be very honest and a lot more reliable and professional than I would have expected from someone in his line of work.
I thought the price was very fair for his work and the service provided cost me a fraction of what it would have cost had I pursued other options to fix the problem (ie buying new pillows from the manufacturer).
It was a pleasure dealing with Fibrenew/​Saul and I would recommend this company to anyone needing similar work done.

This is truly magic! I was searching for a new leather sectional sofa on line since one of the cushions on mine was badly scratched by a cat (torn through the leather in 3 spots and scratched all over). I suddenly came across the Fibrenew webpage and I decided, with hesitation, to contact Saul… After sending him pics, he assured me that my couch wasn’t so bad (trust me, it was awful!), and that he could repair it, and match the color… We made an app’t, he came with a little wagon hitched to his bike, and took my cushion to his place for 1 week. When he returned, I couldn’t believe the magic he had done… and the price was very reasonable! I saved myself from having to purchase a new sofa, and aside from the price, I love the couch I have! I am now considering having him «condition» the entire couch, meaning, clean and oil it, a process he does in the home, given that my sofa is well over 15 years old! I am not one to write reviews, but Saul is a very unusual person with a very unusual service… He offers that expertise, touch and satisfaction that has long disappeared from our lives, and is such a refreshing experience. If I decide to have my entire couch restored, I will post again.
Bravo to you, Saul!

I’m going to try to post before and after pics to show how Fibrenew saved my leather chair. Basically, it’s an Eames-​style recliner that has sentimental value because it’s been in the family for years. The leather on the seat was so worn away that I just kept it covered with a throw blanket, because every re-​upholstering quote I’ve gotten is way beyond my budget. The first thing I liked about Saul is that he was extremely honest. He said that the chair really wasn’t «repairable» and that without reupholstering it there was no way it could look like new. But he said he’d try to make it look a lot better. So I decided to take a chance. I’m amazed by the results. He worked on it in my apartment so he wouldn’t have to charge me for pick up and delivery. It took a few hours and at $ 500 was definitely worth it. You can’t really tell this because of lighting differences in the photos, but he matched the color perfectly. One of the reasons I’m posting this is that he said most people (like me!) don’t realize that sometimes leather furniture can be repaired – you don’t always have to reupholster it.
