"I found Nate through a posting he had on Facebook marketplace place for Adirondack chairs. He was quiick to respond to my messages and delivered the chairs right away. The chairs were nicely made. Nate was very personable. We had just moved into a new house and needed a number of other furniture pieces to fill out the guest house. Nate was receptive in listening to what I was looking for, asked good questions, made suggestions and had good follow through. Throughout the course of a couple of months, he made us a swing, dining room table and benches, mango wood bench and side tables, butcher block coffee table and side tables and refinished a dresser he found for me. It's been 2 years and the pieces are holding up well. The prices were more than fair. Sometimes I felt like they were too low and would offer more money due to the time he must have spent on the pieces."

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

It is possible to reupholster directly over old material in some cases, and it can save you a bit of money. If you are going to go this route, make sure you use a darker color than you had previously. Otherwise, you might see the old fabric beneath the new material. You should also keep in mind that reupholstering over old material is only possible with certain materials. For example, reupholstering over leather usually isn’t possible. You can ask your professional to see if this is an option for your piece.

Regular vacuuming, spot cleaning, and protecting surfaces from sun exposure prevents wear and fading, preserving longevity.

Ongoing maintenance of your leather furniture is the only way to prevent it from peeling and cracking. Real leather will peel and crack as it dries out. Leather conditioners are a great way to protect your leather furniture from drying out, and you’ll need to apply it about twice each year. It’s also a good idea to keep abrasive materials away from your leather to prevent cracking and peeling, including belt buckles, shoes, and multi-surface cleaners, especially those that contain alcohol.

To safeguard your furniture and upholstered items, it's best to use plastic wrap or specially-made plastic sofa covers. However, you should avoid wrapping wooden furniture in plastic if you plan on storing it, as plastic can trap moisture and warp the wood, plus it may damage certain finishes. In either case, old blankets or moving blankets make excellent alternatives. For protecting delicate glass table tops and mirrors, bubble wrap is always a reliable choice.

Reupholstering is often worthwhile for high-quality, antique, or sentimental couches, especially if the frame is sturdy. It can cost less than buying a comparable new piece and allows for customization, but may not be cost-effective for low-end furniture.
