Angie's List recommended Sheila's Upholstery with an A rating. I live in Henderson, Nevada and asked for an upholsterer in Henderson, Nevada.instead, I was given Sheila's Upholstery in North Las Vegas some thirty miles from Henderson. I decided to take a chance by hiring Agustin Orozco. Agustin Orozco came to my house to look at my seven foot sofa that is forty years old with a wood frame. It had been a very expensive sofa. I then made arrangements to drive out to his house with 18 yards of brand new high end material and gave him the material to reupholster my sofa.
I also gave him a $600.00 cashier's check made out to Sheila's Upholstery. Agustin Orozco was suppose to use a soft HR foam, coil springs, piping. I didn't know him at all and believed Angie's List that he was a good upholsterer. That was on August 3. He promised me my sofa in 2 week. But it has turned into almost three months that has had my sofa. Before my sofa was finished he said, "Where is my check." I told him I would pay him when he finished the sofa and delivered it to my house. He told me I had to pay him the remaining $873.00 before the sofa left his house.
I told him, "I gave you $600.00 without knowing you, $1,000 in high end material and my sofa. I had already bought a cashier's check in the amount of $873.00 made out to Sheila's Upholstery. Agustin Orozco told me I would never see my sofa unless I paid him first. I told him I would pay him when he delivered my sofa. I also went back out to his house and discovered when I sat on my sofa, that it was as hard as a rock because he use HR 40 foam which is very hard and cheap and he hadn't done the 8 hand-tied coil spring system.
As of October 20 I still don't have my sofa and Agustin Orozco is holding my sofa as hostage. I will have to sue him which I don't want to have to do. I have all of my cashier checks as proof that I had paid Agustin Orozco $600.00 and a cashier's check for $873.00. It is obvious that Agustin Orozco has stolen my sofa and planned to steal it from the beginning. I am very upset, and I have nothing to sit on in my family room, except a very uncomfortable chair.
