An honest word

When a piece is not worth redoing.

Reupholstery costs about the same whether the frame underneath is good or bad. So the frame decides. A hardwood frame with doweled or screwed joints, a sprung seat and some weight to it will outlast a new piece at the same price. We will tell you to keep it.

A frame of particleboard or stapled softwood, a seat that sags because the deck has gone, a mass-market sofa less than ten years old: the labour would cost more than the piece did, and it still would not be a good sofa. We will tell you that too, and point you to a frame worth covering.

Sentimental pieces are the exception. If it was your grandmother's chair, the frame is usually fine, and we are glad to do it.

Questions

Questions people ask us

Is reupholstering my sofa worth it?

Usually yes when the frame is hardwood and the piece is older than about fifteen years or has sentimental value. Send a photo of the piece and its underside and we will tell you honestly.

How much does reupholstery cost in Toronto?

Dining chairs from CAD $350, armchairs from CAD $400, sofas from CAD $1,800 plus fabric, a headboard re-cover from CAD $250, all before HST. The fabric is the variable: a sofa takes twelve to eighteen metres.

Can I bring my own fabric?

Yes. We tell you the yardage and say so if the fabric will not take the wear. Or choose from our lines; tier 1 is included in the quote.

Do you pick the piece up?

Yes, across the GTA, and we bring it back and set it in place. Pickup and delivery are part of the quote.

How long does it take?

Two to four weeks from the day we collect it, longer if the fabric is special order. We confirm the date with the quote.
