I have a set of sport seats I am going to recover and thinking about this place. Pricey but looks to be very authentic and high quality.

UPDATE.... not good...well the foam from flatsixproject is amazing the upholstery from World upholstery not so good. The bolsters are made 1/2" to big and they forgot to stitch the bottom seams on both seats. My upholstery guy had to take the seams apart and is re-sewing the seams...here is a pick before he took them apart ...he did say the leather is a nice quality..

Seats are covered but had some issues. The covers were to big for the new foam. The upholstery guy took them and trimmed to fit. This is how they are now..he said the wrinkles will work out over time as the leather settles in..what's your thoughts..he doesn't like to use steam ..will steam tighten the leather that much . I'm am worried and a little disappointed.
