I attended a number of Joan’s excellent courses. She is a sad loss. The company continues to be professional but very friendly helpful and informative. There products are of the highest quality and have never let me down.

Hi Christine

I just wanted to let you know that I have received the bun feet and have fitted the smaller ones to my footstool and they are great.  I’m going to tackle the big ones for the sofa at the weekend!

Your help, answering my queries meant that I was able to go ahead with this knowing what I was doing/what to expect.  It was invaluable.

Thank you so much.

Very best wishes

Hi Chris,

I have received the legs for my couch and fitted them without any difficulty. I am delighted with them and I am able to get up and down on the couch  easily – which I haven’t been able to do for a while. So thank you very much for this product and for your service. In fact I will be ordering another set for the other couch shortly. 

With best wishes,

Absolutely excellent. I ordered a set of 4 chair legs late morning one day last week and lo and behold they arrived the following morning.

They were not only exactly what I had been looking for but very reasonably priced.

I purchased a full leather hide from J A Milton to re-cover a set of dining room chairs. The hide was perfect for the job, and the finished product is significantly better than the original!

Purchasing was made very straightforward on the Internet site, the price was excellent and communication and delivery were extremely prompt and efficient.

All in all purchasing from Milton was a great experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Was very happy to find J.A. Milton – couldn’t find a reasonable source in the U.S. and they came through.

Thank you.

As on previous occasions Milton Supplies were first class and good delivery times. Good quality springs and cord and masses of help from the lovely lady I spoke to.

She explained the detail of upholstery springs and guided me on which to buy.

Just to say Happy New Year, and that you must be very proud of the service you provide.

The under carriage of our little Victorian button back chair had collapsed, so it needed new webbing etc:

Your parcel arrived, with everything I needed, and so having watched your Youtube lesson, set to to repair. A few days later it’s all done, and the chair has regained it’s dignity, and position in our living room.


Many thanks.

This store has everything you can think of you’ll need to (re-)create furniture. I am repairing an old French headboard and was in need of a strip to fold over the fabric in a straight line.

I had no idea this was actually ‘a thing’, but J A Milton Upholstery Supplies had it, in various sizes, actually. So happy with this store ????????

Excellent service throughout and worth the postage charge for speed.

Sent my fabric swatches to get a braid matched and got 4 samples of braid back to choose from. Such a great idea and you can say if you want to match or contrast using other colours.

Prices were very reasonable and quality excellent. My talented upholsterer has kept your business card, he was impressed!

Thank you J A Milton.

We are in the process of reupholstering our sofa, and found that J A Milton Upholstery Supplies offer a much larger range of materials than any of the other companies we looked at.

We are really pleased with the colour and value for money of the cloth we have chosen. We dealt with Lee-Ann who promptly assisted us in a friendly and helpful manner.

An exceptional company and service which we would highly recommend.

Dear Christine

Thank you for exchanging the springs for us so quickly. They are now fitted into my granddaughter’s favourite chair (which is why we didn’t have it to hand to measure properly). The chair was her great great grandad’s so on its 5th generation. Hopefully good for the next 100 years now.

Thank you 

Kind regards

Thanks so much for your assistance Chris.

I was really thrown when I found this new element in chair construction yesterday. I have had such wonderful service from your company, I can’t thank you enough.

One of these days my grandchildren will teach me how to transfer photos from my phone to my computer so I can send you photos of my projects.

Have a lovely day,

Thank you so much for both my orders which arrived very quickly.

I am a novice when it comes to upholstery but watching your drop in seat videos inspired me to have a go with my old dining chairs.

The webbing had failed and the seats sagged badly. Your traditional webbing, tack hammer and webbing stretcher are brilliant and 10 chairs are now ready for the next family gathering!

Thank you.

Dear Christine,

Many thanks for the quick turnaround of the buttons.  Really couldn’t believe you had processed them the day after I sent the fabric!  We are only getting post very sporadically, so delighted that the fabric reached you the next day and the covered buttons are now already back with us.  Many thanks!
