About First Class MasterCraft Upholstery
First Class MasterCraft is a multi‑generational upholstery and restoration workshop serving the NYC
and Tri‑State region since 1952. What began as a small family upholstery shop has evolved into a
full‑scale luxury restoration and custom fabrication studio trusted by designers, collectors,
and America’s finest furniture brands.
Formerly known as First Class Upholstery — serving the Tri‑State area since 1952.
Crafted with Legacy, Built for the Future
Founded over 70 years ago, First Class MasterCraft began as a humble upholstery workshop built on
precision, pride, and old‑world craftsmanship. Passed down through generations, our legacy techniques
form the foundation of everything we do today.
We now blend those time‑honored methods with modern capabilities — precision upholstery in our Fort Lee
studio, advanced fabrication in our West Nyack CNC facility, and a digital showroom that brings your
project to life. Our work spans Fort Lee, North Jersey, NYC, Westchester, Fairfield, and Rockland County.
Our Commitment to Quality and Customer Satisfaction
As a family‑owned business, we deliver exceptional craftsmanship in upholstery, furniture restoration, custom cabinetry, and bespoke builds. Since 1952, our mission has remained the same: provide personalized service, meticulous workmanship, and results that exceed expectations.
• Integrity — Transparent communication and honest timelines
• Excellence — Mastery in every stitch, joint, and finish
• Craftsmanship — Legacy techniques applied with modern precision
• Customer Satisfaction — Long‑lasting relationships built on trust
Expanded Capabilities
Our West Nyack Advantage—Thanks to Yossi’s Woodworx
Our West Nyack Advantage—Powered by Yossi’s Woodworx
Beyond upholstery and restoration, this strategic alliance allows us to deliver commercial-grade capabilities. We operate within the advanced manufacturing facility of Yossi’s Woodworx, one of New York’s premier architectural millwork manufacturers. This arrangement provides our team with direct access to industrial-grade CNC machinery, large-scale fabrication tools, and an integrated distribution center.
While remaining independent businesses, this collaboration allows First Class MasterCraft to execute complex builds with micrometer precision—blending our upholstery mastery with their architectural fabrication for hotels, restaurants, and luxury interiors.
