Minneapolis has a strong tradition of preserving quality furniture, and local shops like this one understand that a well-made sofa or armchair is worth restoring rather than replacing.

That dual focus on structure and surface makes a real difference in the finished result.

Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at Aronen covers everything from dining chair seats to full sofa recoveries, with attention to both the fabric and the frame underneath. Because the shop also handles woodwork, they can repair cracked legs, tighten loose joints, and refinish exposed wood at the same time as the fabric work. Customers can typically choose from a range of upholstery materials including woven fabrics, velvets, and performance textiles suited to Minnesota's dry winters and active households. Spring and webbing replacement is usually part of the process, ensuring the cushion support is as good as the new fabric on top.

Service Area

Aronen Woodwork & Design serves Minneapolis and the surrounding Twin Cities metro area. Customers from neighborhoods like Uptown, Northeast Minneapolis, and South Minneapolis regularly bring pieces in, and the shop is accessible to those coming in from nearby suburbs as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
A good rule of thumb is to compare the reupholstery cost to the price of a comparable new piece of similar quality. If the frame is solid hardwood and the piece has sentimental or antique value, reupholstering almost always makes financial and practical sense.
Can Aronen fix a broken chair leg or loose frame at the same time as recovering it?
Yes, because the shop handles woodwork alongside upholstery, structural repairs can typically be done as part of the same project. This is actually the ideal time to address frame issues, since the fabric has to come off anyway.
How much fabric will I need for a typical sofa?
Most standard three-cushion sofas require between 12 and 18 yards of fabric, depending on the pattern repeat and the design of the piece. The shop can give you a precise yardage estimate once they've assessed your specific sofa.
Can I supply my own fabric?
Many shops, including those specializing in reupholstery, will work with customer-supplied fabric. Just confirm this upfront, and make sure the fabric you choose is appropriate for the intended use, since some decorative fabrics aren't durable enough for heavily used seating.
How long does furniture reupholstery usually take in Minneapolis?
For most residential pieces, expect a turnaround of two to four weeks depending on the shop's current queue. More complex projects involving significant frame repair or specialty fabrics can take longer.
Do Minneapolis upholstery shops offer pickup and delivery?
Some shops offer pickup and delivery for an additional fee, while others require you to bring the piece in yourself. It's worth asking when you call for an estimate, especially for large or heavy furniture.
