VISIT US

Older furniture is almost always better quality.

Since you’ll be choosing the fabric, your furniture will be unique and not look like the stuff found in every furniture store.

Reasons to re-upholster

1. Style Change

 

If you are doing some interior remodeling of your home or office, you may be facing colour changes, new design needs or a more contempory look. Our expert upholstery team can help you with selecting the right fabric and colour to fit your personalised space.

2. Restoring or redesigning quality pieces

 

If you furniture piece is still in good shape except for the fabric, and it has a quality contruction it is worth re-upholstering. Before modern day manufacturers were forced to cut corners with mass produced furniture, the furniture were built with better quality materials and all together better workmanship.

3. Sentimental reasons

 

Perhaps your chair is your favourite, or very comfortable, or maybe it was inherited …… then it is so satisfying to restore and preserve good memories.

4. The environment

 

Instead of tossing out old and worn furniture, re-upholster it to bring new life and cut down on waste and further resource use.

5. Value and quality

 

Re-upholstery is not necessarily always less expensive, but the quality of the fabrics we recommend are of very high standard. We work closely with some of the best fabric suppliers South Africa can offer. The quality of our craftmanship is also often far superior to mass produced items.
