Should I reupholster my furniture or buy new furniture?

If you have a quality piece of furniture that has a longer life to live, then it is absolutely worth reupholstering. New foam and fabric can make an old piece of furniture look brand-new. Many furniture stores in Randburg sell affordable pieces of furniture that you could buy instead of choosing to reupholster existing furniture. However, these pieces of furniture usually have flimsy frames and the entire piece will need to be replaced in a few years. On the other hand, old furniture will probably have a solid frame that the upholsterers will be able to work with. Your old furniture will have a completely new look and feel.

Can I provide my own material for upholsterers to use?

Yes, most upholsterers in Randburg allow customers to provide their own foam and fabric. Sometime customers will find a fabric that they really want to use before the upholsterer has sourced anything. However, you cannot expect the upholsterers in Randburg to take responsibly for the quality of the fabric. You should consider asking them if you think the fabric will work well.

Can upholsterers come to my house?

Yes, most upholsterers in Randburg can come to your house upon request. However, they will have to evaluate whether the job can be done on-site or not. Generally, they will arrange their own vehicle to transport the furniture if needs be.

How is the cost of reupholstering furniture calculated?

The cost of reupholstering furniture depends on the price of foam, fabric, springs, thread, buttons, etc. In addition, the upholsterers have to consider the cost of working on the wooden parts of the piece. Tasks such as re-gluing, staining and cleaning the wood adds to the cost. In addition, there could be a tax or labour fee. Ultimately, all this information should be included in your quote. This will help you decide whether it’s worth it to reupholster the piece of furniture or save up for something new.

How does the upholstery process work?

Firstly, the customer will decide if they want to bring the piece to the upholsterer or have them pick it up in Randburg. Afterwards, they will provide the customer with an estimated cost for labour and an estimated price for the fabric that is needed for the job. From this point, the customer can decide if they want to use their own fabric or make use of the fabric offered by the upholsterer. Once everything has been confirmed, the old fabric and foam is stripped from the piece of furniture. From this point, the appropriate foam type and fabric is used for reupholstering. The wood frames are re-glued and the springs are re-tied.
