"Delighted with the service from Katrin at The Polster Project. She made some beautiful banquette seating cushions which had tricky dimensions in an awkward corner, and scatter cushions to go with it. All done exactly as requested with great communication and delivery. Thank you Katrin!"

"I had an issue with a very uncomfortable sofa and reached out to Katrin for help, and I'm so glad I did. From the start, she was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about finding the right solution rather than just a quick fix. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and will definitely be using her services again in the future."

"Katrin really brought our vision to life, we're so pleased with the final product. We had an awkward corner and wanted a bench seat made and weren't sure how to go about it. Communication was quick and helpful with updates throughout. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Polster Project and will most definitely be returning with more projects in the future."

"We had a lovely experience working with Katrin on our dining room bench seating. Katrin was really consultative throughout, had the perfect balance of using her experience to educate us on what would work best but made it feel really collaborative and would keep checking we were happy with everything. The final result speaks for itself and I wouldn't hesitant recommending Katrin to anyone! Thank you"
