I've worked with Diana at Desert Design Group for many years now. Aside from all the great advice she's given me, her fabricators are second to none. Whether it's updating ALL of my outdoor furniture cushions . . . or reimagining the look of interior sofas and chairs, DDG does superior work . . and in a timely way. I'm so happy I have somewhere to go where I know I can trust that the work that's being done will look incredible.

They were very easy to work with they do an exceptional job, and the quality of their workmanship is superb. They answer your questions and always follow through and They always come through giving you a great product in return. We used them several times and have never been disappointed in the quality and the communication factor is always really good. The workmanship is fantastic..
They recovered 4dining room chairs in less than 3days.

I recently was in need of a New Couch for my remodeled home, and I couldn't find anything of quality on the market.
Diana at Desert Design is Magical! She worked to making it easy to find the perfect items. The entire Desert Design Team went above and beyond, in getting me the most spectacular fabrics and design. Showed me details I could have never imagined. Always kept me up to date on the developments and estimated completion of the project. The couch arrived in excellent condition, exactly as described and even better than anything I have seen!
I'm sure I am making them sound expensive, but rather they were more than competitive with a better quality than others. She is Marvelous and I'm thrilled with the quality and will definitely will be telling everyone about this experience. Highly recommended!"

I worked with Desert Design and Diana to upholster my banquette. They did an amazing job and the work was really high quality. They are very professional and everything turned out perfect. I had consulted other upholsterers and none had the knowledge and experience that Diana has.

Desert Design did a beautiful job of upholstering my 10 dining rooms chairs. Pam and Diana are very professional and knowledgeable. I appreciated the guidance relative to fabric choices. The chairs came back more comfortable than when they were new 30 plus years ago, well worth the cost. Sagging seat bottoms were all retied and padded. I would highly recommend Desert Design Group to friends.

I am a general contractor / interior designer in Chicago, working on a large remodel in Scottsdale. This project entailed recovering several pieces of furniture as well as redoing all of the window treatments. I did my research and came across Diana and her team which had glowing reviews. I will share that I had some anxiety as my upholster in Chicago is amazing, BUT after this one project I will say that Diana and her team are equally amazing. She was detail driven, gave her thoughts from past experience, was insightful in regards to fabric, I cannot say enough. In addition, she went over and beyond to make sure that I was happy with their work and that they met my client's expectations. Given we had to do half of our communication via email and phone, which could have made it more taxing, her thorough communication made it no different than if I was next door. I will use her again and again.

Desert Design Group is hands down the best!! Diana's quality of work is outstanding and she really takes the time to communicate with you throughout the entire process. DDG re-upholstered our chairs and ottomans, (even reconstructed the feet to be more sturdy), and recommended beautiful pillows to match. To top it off, they provided white glove service to and from our home. Top quality and amazing people!!

I had a great experience working with Diana from Desert Design Group. So much so, that I wanted to write a review. We got curtains for our large arcadia doors in our great room and Diana went above and beyond to get me what I was envisioning. This involved easy movement of the curtains, a custom-made large rod and the perfect fabric. I always had faith that all would look beautiful as Diana was very knowledgeable with the curtains. I look forward to using her again when we do other window treatments in our home!

Madalyn and Diana helped us make our fabric selections, and allowed us to take samples home before making our final choices. Diana order a sample of the leather hide, so were knew exactly what we were getting. Our 2 chairs are beautiful. The 2 gentlemen who picked up and delivered our furniture were very professional and kind. The work was completed very quickly. My husband and I would use Desert Design Group again, and would recommend them to our friends.

I cannot say enough positive things about this woman & her professional team. I gave her my vision and she promptly delivered. She made me drapes and a costum booth for my kitchen. Her team not only came in and installed everything, they also steamed the curtains and made sure they creased exactly in the right spots! You can tell they take pride in their work. Nice to see people with true craftsmanship. Thank you for making my house turn into a home!

Diana provided excellent advice on window coverings for my new home. She was patient, took the time to listen, and offered fabric choices to pick from that looked beautiful. I'm so pleased with the end result. Friends that have seen her work have been extremely complimentary. Can't thank you enough Diana!

After months of reaching out to several different upholstery establishments, my boyfriend found Desert Design Group on a whim off of Google maps. All the other upholstery shops I talked to never responded back to me after I sending them a picture of my sofa for a reupholstery quote. From the moment my boyfriend contacted Desert Design Group, they have been nothing less than wonderful. They are a very courteous, prompt and professional group of individuals. Their work is outstanding! I love the way my sofa turned out, it looks better than the original. Desert Design Group is the best find of the year! Looking forward to doing more business with them.

WOW what a great find this has been. Not only is the work outstanding but the entire team at Desert Design is curious and goes above and beyond. Their work is flawless and included whited glove, literally, delivery of the finished product. We provided our own fabrics but their selection of providers is amazing. Highly recommend them for any project, awesome craftsmanship at a very fair price.

It has simply been a pleasure to work with Desert Design Group . Not only did they do a beautiful job on my cushions, but they got the job done early so I had my cushions for my weekend barbecue party!

I was ecstatic to find a business that did exactly what I needed! Diana from Desert Design Group was very quick to return my call. She very efficiently gathered the information she needed to provide me with an estimate and I had my quote on the same day emailed to me! They went out of their way to assist me including offering pick up and delivery services. She also provided me with an update on the progress and requested my input and authorization on final design finishes. My project was completed prior to the expected date and the quality and craftsmanship was impeccable. I will definitely be using this service again! From start to finish this was a wonderful, easy experience! I was thoroughly pleased!

Diana and Therese were extremely professional, very knowledgeable,
and helpful. Their workmanship and quality is absolutely perfect.
I had accidentally damaged the two front legs of my wife's antique chair loading it into our SUV for the trip to Desert Design Group. They not only did a magnificent job on the upholstery work, they also professionally repaired the two front legs of the chair. They really saved me from spending any nights in the doghouse which I dearly appreciate!
Both my wife and I very highly recommend Desert Design Group and Diana and Therese, and I really need to thank Juanito for his excellent work on saving the chair legs (and me)

Desert Design Group is awesome! They go above and beyond to get your project done. Diana is friendly and helpful and makes wonderful suggestions. I had a slipcover made for my couch and it is stunning. I just picked up the chairs they did and I couldn't be happier!

After spending a few hours online and calling a few places in the phoenix area I decided to hire desert design group to make the custom slip covers for my dining room chairs. I chose them originally because Diana could make recommendations that reflect my sense of style in a room where functionality was key to the success of making the covers (I have cats, dogs, and kids!). Also key to her winning me initially as a customer was she produces high end work without the high end price tag.
Once made the chair covers looked gorgeous. I did note one small thing that I wanted done differently. I let Diana know and she agreed to take care of it and went above and beyond my expectations to make sure it looked great. Most important to me is that she didn't try to convince me I was wrong or complain it was going to be more work; she took in the request and made it right.

I contacted Desert Design Group to update our Master bedroom...the job involved reupholstery, draperies and custom bedding....bedskirt, coverlet, pillows and shams. Everything is beautiful and impeccably made and the drapery hardware was expertly installed. These people are pros!

From start to finish - excellent! DDG did slipcovers for our sectional and they were perfect! Diana knows her business and the covers were made quickly and she delivered, as promised! I will be going back to DDG for window treatments in the near future :-) Highly recommend.

Diana is a perfectionist! Everything she created for us was exactly what we envisioned. Diana did our floor to ceiling curtains in our newly added master bedroom. They turned out so beautiful and she was such a pleasure to work with, that we hired her to design and upholster our wooden benches in our breakfast nook. Everyone who walks in our kitchen complements us on these. We will continue to use and recommend Diana to everyone. She also explains everything she is doing to make sure everyone is on the same page. Thanks For making visions into our reality! Kelly Nysather

I am a designer and I hired Diana to make the window treatments of one of my projects. I was very satisfied with her work and I would totally recommend her. Diana is someone you can trust. She is very passionate, resourceful and professional. She dealt with short timeframes and still had a high quality result. We are currently working together in a custom-made sectional sofa and I am looking forward to seeing the final product. Great experience!

I have hired Diana and her team for several jobs for my home throughout the years. Everything she has done for me has been top quality, creative, innovative yet she listens to me as the customer and strives to balance my wishes with her ideas. She is always conscience about making the customer happy and will change something easily if you are not happy. She has given me numerous names of other businesses outside of her expertise, such as painters, florist, cabinetry, and other services she personally and professionally uses. She is honest, fair priced and will never take short cuts or hurry a job, yet completes the work in a timely manner. I would highly recommend her and her team for any designer job, whether for a home or a business. She designed the Kona Grill interiors ( Chandler and Scottsdale Quarter) and the bar/restaurant is very contemporary yet comfortable and cozy. A designer who is not pretentious, yet has fresh ideas, fair priced and honest. She is the only designer I would use and if she couldn't do the job, she would tell me and give me names of others who could. She is a true gem.
