In the news

Designers have been quietly sending work here for decades.

Most people have never heard of us, which is rather the point — our work usually turns up under someone else's name. Occasionally it turns up on a cover.

D Home Magazine

Our work, on the cover.

Dallas–Fort Worth's home and garden magazine. The furniture is ours; the byline, as usual, is somebody else's.

Kips Bay Decorator Show House

Dina Bandman Interiors, Dallas.

When a show-house designer needs upholstery that will be photographed from every angle, this is where it gets made.

The Dallas Morning News · 14 Oct 1992

Ray Martin Sr. and Ray Jr.

"M&M Upholstery gives furniture a new look." Thirty-four years ago, and the address hasn't changed.

Whether we are reupholstering an old piece of furniture or upholstering an entire hotel, we treat each individual with the utmost respect.

Ray Martin Sr., founder — The Dallas Morning News, 14 October 1992

Since 1957

Started by Ray Martin Sr. Still run by a Martin.

Ray Martin Sr. opened M&M Upholstery in 1957 and taught the trade to his son, Ray Martin Jr. It has stayed in the family ever since — the shop is now owned by Sarah Martin, Ray Jr.'s daughter-in-law.

Nearly seventy years in one trade, at one address, in the middle of the Design District. Long enough that a fair number of the pieces coming back through the door were upholstered here the first time.

1st: Ray Martin Sr.Founded the shop in 1957.
2nd: Ray Martin Jr.Learned the trade at his father's bench.
3rd: Sarah MartinOwns and runs M&M today.
