Restored my Eames chair cushions after 39 years and I could not be happier. Friendly, fast and great at what they do.

It’s absolutely worth it, 100%, to replace your cushions on your Eames chair. Mine is from 1982 and looks brand new. See the new next to the old! Thank you.

Amazing:). Nicole was in touch every step of the way and my Eames chair was delivered (to Canada no less!) promptly and with no issue. Could not be happier with the level of craftsmanship as well, 5 huge stars for Hobbs Modern!

We had inherited an Eames Lounge chair that my parents had since the late 1960s. It was still solid, but as my folks got older, they didn't care for it as well as they should have and the cushions were badly worn. We'd briefly considered just taking it to a local upholstery shop to have it reupholstered, but realized that its classic background deserved more. The team at Hobbs did a great job restoring the cushions with leather as lush as the original and now it looks like new. My folks would have been pleased to see it in use. It's a beautiful piece of furniture once again!

We could not be more thrilled with our gorgeous 1970s lounge chair from Hobbs Modern. It’s a stunning piece recovered in a beautiful bronze velvet. Nicole couldn’t have been more responsive and a pleasure to deal with. She even checked in after it was delivered to see if we are happy with our purchase. We most certainly are! We will continue to check in with Hobbs Modern for our vintage “finds”.

It was a pleasure doing business with Nicole & Ryan, great communication, fast shipping, highly recommended.

Nicole made the purchase of a Laverne Tao side table so easy. The shipping from west coast to east coast was very reasonable and delivered by experienced furniture movers in perfect condition. Thanks, Michael Staats Hotel Chelsea

Hobbs Modern saved my pre-1970 Eames lounge chair & ottoman with a set of new leather cushions appropriately constructed for pre-1970 chair. Nicole was always so pleasant & responsive to my questions. I absolutely recommend Hobbs Modern & plan to have them restore another chair.

I was searching for replacement parts for my Plycraft chair and didn’t read the Eames specific information on the Hobbs Modern website when I reached out for help. Even though they didn’t have the parts I needed, Nicole and Ryan responded to my questions through text immediately and gave me information about what I might need. I didn’t even buy from them and their customer service was awesome! I will remember this business for the future when I finally have a genuine Eames piece. Thank you!

I had lost my Plycraft Mr. Chair to Hurricane Ida and was searching the Internet for a replacement when I came upon Hobbs Modern's website and spotted this beauty. I spoke with Nicole on the phone for nearly a half an hour about the chair and its designer George Mulhauser and she really knew her stuff. Delivery was surprisingly fast. And the restoration job is just breathtaking. It looks like it just rolled off the 1960 assembly line. Quite the time capsule. I couldn't be happier.

finding this place was one of the best discoveries i’ve ever made on the internet! the selection is always top notch and the refinishing is some of the best i’ve ever seen!! (& i’ve been in this business for over 35 years.) impressive & delightful people to work with!

Ordered 10 Harry Østergaard chairs sight unseen. Nicole was extremely pleasant to work with, very communicative and professional. Chairs arrived to Seattle tonight and they look beautiful, very nice and tasteful restoration and very professional upholstery job. We are very satisfied and will look forward to purchasing again from Nicole and Ryan at Hobbs Modern.

Hobbs Modern did an incredible job with our Mr. Chair. I have fond memories of my grandfather sitting in this chair in the 70s, and I recently found it in a garage, dusty and in need of much restoration and love. Hobbs literally gave it a second life. We are thrilled with the care they put into our piece. It’s gorgeous and functional again! We look forward to many more decades of memories made with this chair in our living room. Thank you Hobbs Modern!

The restored chair is absolutely stunning and looks brand new. Nicole was wonderful to work with. Our overall experience was outstanding.

I spent many hours looking for a beautiful, long dresser for our "cabin" in the woods. Fortunately, I stumbled upon Hobbs Modern and found what I was looking for. My inquiries to Nicole were always well-responded. I placed my order and almost couldn't stand the anticipation of the arrival of the dresser. When the great delivery team got it in place with great care, we were just stunned at our selection and the quality of the piece. We could not be happier with our choice to give our custom to Hobbs Modern. We have them on the hunt for some interesting end tables so that should speak volumes about our happiness. Take care out there y'all!

Nicole and Ryan did a fantastic job restoring my broken coffee table back to its former glory! The craftsmanship is second to none and the table is ready for its next 70 years! In addition, their selection of curated furniture is amazing. I’m exceptionally pleased with my recent purchase and look forward to many more!

We purchased a gorgeous piece from Nicole and Hobbs Modern earlier this year and cannot speak highly enough of their eye for detail, impressive ability to curate pieces of the highest quality and provenance, and the exceptional fit and finish of the restoration. Through the process, Nicole was incredibly responsive and gracious, and very attentive to my (many) questions as the piece was expertly restored and shipped to us cross-country. As I shared with Nicole, discovering Hobbs Modern ignited something within me I never knew existed - a fully-fledged obsession for mid century modern furniture! I’m excited for our next purchase - from start to finish, this has been a wonderful experience and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you!

NEW This is by far the best customer experience I’ve ever had with a company, the owner facetimed me to show me the chair before I even put down money! I then wanted a very specific kind of fabric and she was able to work with me and the reupholstering company and make it affordable for me to be able to get the kind that I wanted, and it turned out incredible. The quality of work is stunning the wood is refinished back to what it would’ve looked like in the 60s. Customer service was incredibly quick, they are patient with customer indecisiveness (lol) and worth the investment. I’m only twenty-three, so this big purchase was able to be broken into manageable payments. Even the shipping company they used was kind and professional and delivered the piece right to my home, with pictures for quality assurance. I would absolutely buy from them again as soon as possible!!!

Simply AMAZING! Purchased a replacement cushion for an Eames chair and couldn't be more satisfied. The service and communication was top notch. The quality of the product is outstanding. Love this company.

I've purchased two pieces from this business over the past several years. I have nothing but praise for their restoration work. Their dedication, knowledge, time, and effort really show. It's impressive how they can make a piece of furniture that's over 60 years old look absolutely stunning. Communication from Nicole & Ryan is always prompt, and shipping has always been quick, delivered with care.

We bought a credenza from Nicole and Ryan at Hobbs Modern. Our experience was first rate, from our first inquiry until the piece was delivered. I was apprehensive about buying furniture online, but Nicole provided more information than many in–person stores do. The refinishing is of the highest quality, and they can adjust the refinishing to suit your particular needs. Shipping and delivery from San Diego to Salt Lake City also went smoothly.

I've been following Hobbs Modern for over a year now after finding them on Instagram while shopping for Midcentury furniture. After many desired pieces came and went, I was so thrilled to be able to buy a Knoll Womb Chair in perfect condition. Nicole was so quick to get on a FaceTime with me to examine the piece, answered any question I had about it, and reassured me it would arrive in the best condition it could. I'm located in New York and Nicole and Ryan are in San Diego, but I bit the bullet by buying an expensive piece sight unseen in person, and I couldn't be happier. The chair arrived in a few weeks by an incredible shipper who took such care to make sure the chair was wrapped and unwrapped expertly. How thrilled was I the first time I sat in my gorgeous, perfect condition chair and promptly fell asleep. Too bad the chair now belongs to my dog who decided she had ownership rights. I have already asked Nicole to set aside chairs for me as they arrive so I can purchase one for my parents. Thank you, Nicole and Ryan, for lovingly caring for these pieces and passing them along to happy customers!

Where do I start! First Nicole Hobbs is the delightful human who will hear what you're saying and guide you through to the most wonderful piece (or pieces😁). The process of choosing textiles, was very fun and easy, and then Ryan makes magic. Our pieces are perfect and look like they were made for our Mid Century home, which they were! Looking forward to many years with our gorgeous Dux pies and hopefully more to come! Thanks again to Nicole and Ryan, all your hard work and ceaseless care is obvious in everything you do!

Nicole, Ryan, and crew are fantastic. Very knowledgeable and super friendly. We bought 4 pieces from them and all exceeded our expectations. Very talented craftsmen. They personally delivered our furniture and made sure we were completely happy with the end product. We look forward to buying more from them.

Nicole and Ryan have a truly amazing business. They are passionate and dedicated to finding exceptional mid century pieces. The restoration is second to none! The two pieces I bought have been restored so thoughtfully and beautifully, something that is so important when purchasing online without seeing the physical item. I can honestly say you have nothing to worry about when buying from Hobbs Modern.

Not only does Hobbs Modern do an excellent job of restoring vintage pieces back to a beautiful condition, that take great care in shipping the pieces and communicating through the process. Nicole led a video call to show us all the details of the furniture and they post photos of the restoration process. We are a happy repeat customer!

I absolutely love Hobbs Modern and working with Nicole and Ryan was seamless and easy. We bought a most stunning Womb Chair and it is truly the highlight of our home now! The CHAIR IS A HIT! We all love it, my kids fight over who gets to sit in it and every time I see it, I am just beaming with joy that its mine. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ~

We've recently bought 4 pieces from Hobbs Modern, and I can tell you they do an amazing job of curating and restoring the best of mid-century furniture. They are super attentive and will work with you to make sure the pieces you want work to your exact requirements, including going out of their way to find specific special materials for upholstery. Just amazing service all round. But, don't wait because each piece is unique and with their eye and talent pieces don't last long. Get over there now!

I’ve been meaning to write this review for a long time because this is the second time we purchase from Hobbs Modern. The first time we got a table (on the picture) and we still love it as much as we did the first day, which was 3 years ago! Nicole and Ryan are very knowledgeable and are the nicest couple to do business with. It’s easy to trust you are getting good quality products, especially when it comes to vintage, designer furniture. But beyond their personable style, they produce durable, beautiful and unique products out of the pieces they rescue. Their love and passion for what they do is reflected in their craftsmanship. When we received these amazing set of Teak Arne Vodder Dining Chairs, we could see how much they truly care about where the pieces will live on the new life they gave it. The final product is simply beautiful and I’m so happy we will have them in our house! Thank you Nicola and Ryan!

Hobbs Modern did an absolutely amazing job restoring my early generation Eames lounge. Amazed when I saw it finished, down to every little detail. It was no easy task, and was a huge project. Ryan and Nicole kept me updated with photos throughout the process, A+ customer experience. Big thanks!!

I ordered a piece of Paul McCobb from Hobbs Modern on a whim. I had been wanting this piece for quite some time and couldn't find it locally. I was nervous about buying something in California that was to come to me in Georgia. However, I had absolutely no reason to worry. The case piece was exactly as advertised and Hobbs Modern kept me informed about moving it post purchase from them to me. Everything was done very professionally and I would buy from them again in a heartbeat!

Purchased a Danish Modern Surfboard Coffee Table from the Hobbs’ family and couldn’t have been happier! Ryan and Nicole do a fantastic job. Customer service is excellent; Nicole contacted me as soon as we purchased the item and kept me informed of their progress with restoration, even sending me pictures and videos of their work. They personally delivered the item as well. Awesome family owned San Diego business! Their IG is worth a follow as well.

We ordered a Percival Lafer Sofa from Hobbs Modern. Nicole did a video call with us since we couldn’t view the piece in person. She had the leather reconditioned and the sofa shipped to us within a couple of weeks. It arrived in the same condition as advertised. I would shop here again.

Top notch products & excellent service!

I bought a Stanley Young dresser from Hobbs Modern and it is absolutely gorgeous! The communication with Nicole was great. She arranged for delivery to NY and the dresser arrived in flawless condition. Wonderful experience all around!

If you’re in the market for an Eames Lounge Chair, look no further! My wife and I recently purchased a house and began searching for pieces to fill up the space. I knew I wanted an Eames chair very early on, however I didn’t even think about going vintage restored. I stumbled upon Hobbs Modern’s page on Instagram by chance looking at another set of Selig Z chairs. I gave them a follow and a few weeks later saw that they were planning to restore a first gen Eames Lounge Chair. I knew we had to jump at the chance to own an icon. We reached out to Nicole and Ryan to put a hold on the chair to start the process. With shelter in place just starting, Nicole and Ryan were very clear on every step of the process and that timelines may need to be extended. We were not in a rush, and understood that you can’t expect quick turnaround with how things are in 2020. They kept us informed about each update and were sure to send progress pictures when possible. When we took delivery, we knew we made the right choice. The chair is beyond expectation and the attention to detail during the restoration is top notch. The refinished rosewood, new shock mounts, and polished bases, along with the original patina on the leather make for a perfect piece in our home. We always receive complements on the chair, and we’re proud to tell everyone we had it restored by Hobbs Modern!!

I had been wanting a vintage Eames Rosewood Lounge Chair and Ottoman for years and found it difficult to find the right one. Some chairs were priced too high, some had quality issues, etc. I found exactly what I was looking for at Hobbs Modern. Nicole and Ryan were communicative throughout the entire process. They had great photos of the chair. We had an initial video call so I could inspect the chair remotely. They did a thorough inspection and cleaning of the chair and sent me updates via text message. The shipping was very reasonably priced and the chair was delivered delicately to my home within 15 minutes of the specified time. I’m very pleased with my experience with Hobbs Modern. Thank you!

We bought a cute glass cabinet and used it as a bar cabinet. We arranged a facetime appt to view the cabinet since we didn't want to drive to SD (& bc of covid), and next thing you know we were getting it delivered to our house. It's beautiful in our home! Unfortunately due to the pandemic we've had no visitors yet but we can't wait to show it off.

Trustworthy and knowledgeable, big thank you to Hobbs Modern for helping me acquiring my dream chair!

I purchased the most gorgeous Lane “Rhythm” dressers from Hobbs and they are truly stunning. Ryan and Nicole are quite the team, choosing incredible and sophisticated pieces that are one of a kind. The most amazing part of my experience here though was in the finishing work. They were refinished to brand new, showroom quality. I will gladly support this local business again and again. (I think we’re gonna need a bigger house).

What an experience! I bought a beautifully restored Eames chair for my husband’s birthday. Nicole and Ryan were so catering throughout the whole process. They even delivered the chair themselves to ensure the chair got to us in perfect condition. Thank you Nicole and Ryan and hope to do business again soon.

Trustworthy, talented and wonderful to do business with!!!

I recently purchase this Dexrel Declaration credenza from Hobbs Modern. It’s a beauty skillfully restored to pristine condition. It even has the original lights inside each cabinet. Nicole Hobbs is delightful to work with, sharing her knowledge and history of MCM furniture. She also made all arrangements for shipping to my house at a very reasonable price. I definitely will be purchasing more!!!!

A family-owned great online resource for beautiful, and beautifully restored, mid century furniture. They deliver locally (San Diego) and ship nationally.
