"Excellent craftsmanship reupholstering our 1990s sofa and loveseat combination. Bernie and Samir's expertise is displayed on how the green striped fabric matched when viewed from the furniture's bottom trim up the seat to the back cushions. The stripe pattern continued matching in the cording on the furniture, cushions and throw pillows. Bernie suggested replacing the 2 and 3-cushion configurations seats with a long single-cushion style for easier lounging/sleeping on either piece. I also commented it would eliminate 'losing' the remote/cell phone/money/stylus/glasses/sundry items between cushions. The single-cushion design greatly improves the seating arrangement and comfort as there is no cushion seam. Upholstering older furniture is definitely the wiser choice keeping the excellent construction of the piece while upgrading it with new cushions and fabric. Bernie was helpful in answering my questions regarding material, price and scheduling initially communicating online then by phone and visiting the shop. Designer Fabric and Furniture is the gold standard for your home's upholstery projects."

Upholstering FAQs, answered by experts

Paper moving pads, also called furniture wrapping paper or paper moving blankets, are sheets of recycled paper used to protect various items during moving. Similar to traditional moving blankets, paper pads are also reusable, making them a sustainable and cost-effective option for protecting your belongings during the moving process. Although they’re recycled, they still provide excellent protection against dust, dirt, and scratches.

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.

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’s a good indication that the quality is higher. It should also smell like traditional leather. If it smells like chemicals, you’re probably dealing with low-grade leather.

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.

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.
