"It went really well. She does a really thorough job. You can tell that she's been doing upholstery for a while and knows what she's doing. Margie is really quick. If you give her a piece, usually she has it done within the week. Her prices are very reasonable and she does exactly what she says she'll do."

"They did a fairly good job on an old steam trunk that I had refinished. Their communications with you are terrible. When you call you may or may not get a return call. I was told when they picked up my trunk that it could be up to 6 months. They had it for 8 1/2 months. I was also told that they could get me a key to the trunk and I didn't get that either. There is one place on the lid of the trunk that is very rough and not as shiny as the rest of the top. I understand that the original person that I spoke to, due to health reasons, is no longer working with them. I would have asked about the spot on the lid but I was afraid that it would take an additional 6 months."

Upholstering questions, answered by experts

You should consider the time needed to clean and prepare your bedroom set for transit. A few days before moving, vacuum, dust, and clean your furniture with a mild cleaning solution. Depending on the movers and the services you pick, you might need to pre-pack the mattress and box spring in boxes designed for beds and disassemble some furniture by removing doors and hardware. Finally, don’t forget to take plenty of pictures documenting the pre-move condition in case you need to file a claim.

Doing your own upholstery work is possible, but it’s typically a better idea to leave the work to professionals. Without experience and the proper tools, it’s difficult to get a professionally finished appearance for your furniture, and many DIYers end up spending money on tools and materials only to hire a professional when they can’t get the fabric to look right. If you have reupholstery experience, feel free to give it a shot. However, if you’re not confident in your skill level or you’re working with antiques, it’s worth the money to hire a pro.

DIY upholstery is feasible for simple pieces with the right tools and skills, though intricate jobs typically require professional expertise for the best results.

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.

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.
