I've never had issues with delivery dates with upholsterers, but you might want to get a commitment in writing as to how long it will take. Double check that you sign off on the materials on the statement of work. Be sure EVERYTHING is spelled out in the statement of work/ contract. You don't want to go back and find out he used the wrong material or didn't pad it the way you wanted with him saying 'that's what you said you wanted'. Include a drawing that specifies how you want the stitching, pockets and other details.
