I was so impressed by this business. We have a 15 year old couch that we had re-stuffed. First of all, they were incredibly responsive, especially around the holidays. I always had responses back the same day, even multiple times a day. I found Roger to be really knowledgeable, friendly and very fair with pricing. However, the quality of the work is the best part. Absolutely top notch!!! He made it so easy --- came and picked up all of our couch cushions and brought them back several days before expected. So appreciative!! If I could give more stars, I would! This is exactly the kind of local business that everyone wants to support. More...

I had the pleasure of working with Roger on two projects -- and will definitely be back for more! I had a telephone bench reupholstered. Roger's selection of durable, easy care and beautiful fabric made the decision easy. The precision of the work and comfort of the seat are impeccable. Next I had a different project - adding built in cupboards to add storage space in my dining room but having them blend into the background. The cabinets are hand built with an amazing paint finish. Everything is flush, the hardware works effortlessly and the interior shelves are very sturdy. I couldn't be happier. I should add that sketches were drawn and changes made so it was completely clear how the unit was going to be built. More...

My second job for Roger Remnath at Form + Function was refinishing a Scandinavian moderne coffee table.  This piece has moving parts.  There are 2 hidden leaves and a lever assembly that lifts the top to dining table height.  The top had been etched by fruit juice and had a hole where a set pin pushed through the veneer.  It would take skilled people to make it right.Once again, Roger demonstrated his ability to roll with the punches.  The first pass was not a color match to the original finish, so Roger had it refinished a second time at no additional cost.  The final finish was absolutely a perfect match, and all of the offending blemishes were gone.  This old table has never looked better.Dan G.Los Angeles More...

I knew they weren't a boat upholstery company, but I wanted something plush and high end for my power boat. I called around to many upholstery places but based on the reviews and pictures of their work I only wanted to work with them. I had an idea of what I wanted, sketched it on paper and picked out the fabric and Roger and his team literally did exactly what was in my head.It was so beautiful when I picked it up, unfortunately he wasn't there to thank at the time (they were closed, but an employee ran up anyways after hours to let me pick up my pieces).The service was great. The price for what I got was great. I will absolutely, beyond any reasonable doubt be using them over and over again. More...

We could not be more pleased with the work Roger did! I bought a really nice 1 of a kind sofa from someone online 13 years ago. But after a decade of wear and tear it needed some TLC. Roger and his staff were great! The work was done on schedule and it looks amazing. I was able to keep my 1 of a kind sofa instead of replacing it with something with no character. If you want quality work done at a reasonable price-point, this is the place! More...

I was looking into having three chairs reupholstered and after reading great reviews about Form and Function I decided to call them and had the pleasure of speaking with Roger.  I'm very glad that I chose Form and Function to do the work.   Two of the chairs were reupholstered in turquoise leather and they look awesome and make a real statement in my home.   They did a fantastic job on each piece.  Roger was very patient, easy to work with, and he also got my chairs done in a very reasonable amount of time.   I've had other pieces reupholstered in the past from a different company and wasn't nearly as happy with the results and the overall experience as I am with Form and Function.  BIG THUMBS UP!!

My assignment for Roger Remnath and his Form + Function crew was to build a table to fit a 40 square foot alcove in my old Hollywood house---an odd semi-circle that arrived in a 1970’s renovation. The table would be 6 feet long, 18 inches wide and bent at 135 degrees in the middle. The legs had to support that weird angle, and the top had to be stained to match the finish on a pair of black Stua chairs. There was nothing like it on the market, so the only option was a custom build. I collaborated with Roger on the final design and the development of key details during construction, and every one of his ideas was smart and effective. He knew when to step in and when to step back. Ultimately, he solved the main problem of design, suggesting a simple and elegant box-truss arrangement to support the top. The result was a massive statement that reinvigorated an awkward space, hand-built by actual American craftsmen right here in Los Angeles. Everything about this says yes. More...

We had the pleasure of working with Roger on fabrication of some custom dining bench I designed for a restaurant project. Roger was patient, resourceful, and very careful to make sure that every piece was built exactly to my specifications . When we looked at reengineering the piece to make it more sturdy for commercial use, he came with great ideas, and really enhanced the structural design of the piece. I would Recommend Form + Function to any designer looking to work with a quality shop here in Los Angeles. Can't wait to work with him again! More...

Rare it is these days to find a service that performs work as expected so when a company goes above and beyond, I feel compelled to share that experience with others. Such was the case with Roger from Form & Function. We purchased some rather expensive fabric from a leading furniture company for the purpose of having some upholstered pads made for a banquet bench in our newly remodeled kitchen. I was hesitant to put it in the hands of just anyone but upon my initial email communication with Roger, I knew we were in good hands. He was highly responsive, offered great input and ideas, came to our home to measure and advised as to how much fabric would be needed. All this for what I deem a very fair and equitable price for their services. He finished the project well within the estimated completion time (2 weeks) and even went as far as to deliver the cushions in person to insure proper fit. We were more than pleased with the overall quality of work and when we subsequently took one of his pads back to the furniture store to pick out some accent throw pillows, they were equally impressed with the final product to the extent that they asked for his information in order to refer future clients. I would say that's a testament to their work. Based on our experience, it is without any hesitation that I recommend Form & Function to anyone looking for a reputable, honest and reasonable custom boutique furniture company. More...

I'd been looking for someone to build a custom dining bench for me for quite some time, and had hit nothing but roadblocks. I originally went to Sofa Interiors because of their numerous Yelp reviews, but it wasn't going well (see my review there) so I decided to start my search over. I came across Form + Function and decided to give them a call. It started off well, because Roger not only answered the phone, but he was polite and gave me realistic expectations. I emailed him my list of what I wanted, some reference photos and measurements, and he actually emailed me back, which seems to be unheard of in this industry.  He also gave me some design recommendations, which I ended up taking. I met with Roger the following week, to go over a design plan and give him a deposit. He gave me the option of providing the material, or he had many to choose from as well. I decided to choose the material, since I had something specific that I wanted. He then came out to my house to measure before he started manufacturing. Once he started building the bench, he also kept me updated on the status (again, not typical in this industry.)It took a few weeks to build, and I'm so glad it didn't work out with Sofa Interiors, because Roger gave me exactly what I asked for.  The attention to detail is impeccable, and the bench is not only sturdy, but beautiful!
