"Manuel did an excellent job repairing an Ethan Allen chair my puppy got into while I was away. After it was returned you could never even tell there was any damage. The price for the level of craftsmanship was extremely fair. Would recommend Manuel and will use him for any upholster job in the future."

"Great experience and I'm thrilled with the final product. ! I communicated via email with Gina first to get some initial information and to learn about the process/timeline. Gina was very responsive to every communication. I dropped the chairs off and picked them up myself to save a little money; the team at the shop unloaded and loaded the chairs for me once I arrived. Gina provided a thorough estimate and clearly explained what she thought needed to be done - new foam; new board on at least one broken chair base; glue some parts that were wobbly. I also carefully reviewed the website for Twin Cities Upholstery before dropping off my chairs. They have lots of fabrics to choose from in the shop and even more online via the fabric companies they use; and some fabric company partners will send free samples of fabric. This was REALLY helpful for me and I actually selected one of the fabrics from the samples I ordered. I recommend either reviewing fabric samples online or spending time in the shop looking at fabric before dropping off item to be upholstered. There is just so much to choose from. The chairs were completed well within the timeframe promised. I would use this company again in the future!"

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

Upholstery reduces waste sent to landfills, limits resource consumption, and supports sustainable living practices, provided fabrics meet standards.

It is generally worth repairing leather furniture rather than replacing it, as it is typically more affordable and the material tends to retain its value. A typical repair averages around $250, which is significantly less than the thousands of dollars a replacement could cost. Even a full reupholstering, which can cost up to $4,000, may still be more economical than buying new. With proper care, repaired leather furniture can last for many years, making the investment worthwhile. However, if the underlying structure or frame of the furniture is damaged or malfunctioning, replacement might be a better option. The quality of the leather and the furniture piece are also important factors. For a definitive answer, it is best to consult a leather repair professional to assess your specific situation.

The time required to reupholster furniture depends on the item's size, complexity, and condition. The hands-on work can range from 2-3 hours for a simple dining chair to 10 to 20 hours for a large sofa. The total project timeline with a professional, including fabric sourcing and scheduling, typically ranges from one to three weeks.

Several factors can affect the timeline. Antique furniture often takes longer due to the delicate care required. If additional repairs are needed, such as sanding or refinishing wood components, the process will also take more time. A DIY reupholstery project will usually take significantly longer than a professional job.

Pros cover many fixes, from upholstery renewals to joint reinforcement.

When deciding whether to repair, reupholster, or replace old furniture, consider its age, quality, level of wear, and overall value, including sentimental attachment. In many cases, it is more affordable to reupholster or repair furniture than to replace it, especially for antique, vintage, or discontinued pieces.

Older furniture is often made from durable hardwoods like oak and maple, giving it a longer lifespan than newer furniture, which frequently uses lower-quality materials such as plywood or medium-density fiberboard (MDF). Because of this, repairing or reupholstering a well-made older piece is often a worthwhile investment.

To determine the best course of action from a financial perspective, compare quotes from local furniture repair services with the price of a new, similar piece. Reupholstery may not be cost-effective for furniture that was originally inexpensive (e.g., under $300). For high-quality or sentimental items, however, it is an excellent way to preserve the piece and extend its life. If you're unsure, a furniture reupholstery specialist can help you evaluate the piece and make an informed decision.
