About Our Company

Mr. Alfaro was born in Guatemala, where he began working in a shoe factory at age 9 and was an expert at making shoes at 12. He worked as a chemist, then owned his own shoe factory. In 1974, Mr. Alfaro came to the United States.

While waiting for his resident papers and social security card, the only place he could get a job was Deseret Industries. He began working in DI's upholstery shop, where he started learning the trade of upholstering furniture. In just 3 months his work so impressed his boss that he was made supervisor of the upholstery crew.

While still working at DI, Allen Alfaro set up his own shop on the side and began upholstering furniture in his garage. Because of his attention to detail together with the quality & beauty of his work he quickly outgrew his garage. He found a building that had been vacant for a few years, fixed it up and moved into the location where they are today.
