Q: How do I know if the leather is good quality?

• <div><p>The best way to test the quality of a leather couch is to put your hands on it. If the upholstery is soft and warm, that&rsquo;s a good indication that the quality is higher. It should also smell like traditional leather. If it smells like chemicals, you&rsquo;re probably dealing with low-grade leather. </p></div>

Q: What does it mean if a couch feels crusty after cleaning it?

• <div><p>If your usually super soft couch feels crusty and rough after cleaning, it could be that you haven&rsquo;t removed the cleaning product properly, you used too much, or you applied the wrong type. Always check the couch tags to select the right cleaning product, read application instructions carefully, and test on an inconspicuous corner. For fabrics such as microfiber, you can soften and fluff crusty fibers using a soft-bristled brush.</p></div>

Q: How long does the upholstery process typically take?

• <div><p>The process usually takes 1-2 weeks, and it is highly influenced by the materials, complexity of the project, and any customization desired.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to reupholster furniture?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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.

Ask around to see if friends or family know of any upholsterers
Find reviews of the company or individual
Look at the photo gallery of their work to see if they work on furniture like yours and if you like their work
Check qualifications and references
Ask the upholstery service if they work on furniture like yours, what their schedule looks like, how they handle payments, and how long the job will take
