Frequently Asked Questions

What furniture pieces can be reupholstered?
Most upholstered furniture with a solid frame can be redone, including sofas, loveseats, armchairs, recliners, dining chairs, ottomans, and headboards. The main factor is whether the frame is structurally sound enough to be worth the investment in new fabric and labor.
How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
A good upholsterer will inspect the frame and let you know if it's solid enough to justify the work. Hardwood frames, especially on older or antique pieces, are often worth restoring, while particleboard or very cheap frames may not hold up well enough to make reupholstery cost-effective.
Can upholstery shops match existing fabric patterns or colors?
Exact matches can be tricky if the original fabric is discontinued or custom, but a skilled upholsterer can often find something very close or help you choose a complementary fabric. If you're doing multiple pieces, doing them at the same time makes matching much easier.
How do I prepare my furniture for drop-off at an upholstery shop?
You don't need to do much, just make sure the piece is reasonably clean and remove any personal items from drawers or cushions. The shop will handle stripping the old fabric and preparing the frame for new material.
Do upholstery shops in Anchorage work on commercial furniture like office chairs?
Many do, especially for chairs, benches, and waiting room seating. Commercial reupholstery often uses heavy-duty fabrics rated for high traffic, which an experienced shop can source and apply professionally.
Is reupholstery more eco-friendly than buying new furniture?
Yes, reupholstery keeps furniture frames out of the landfill and reduces the demand for newly manufactured pieces. In Alaska, where disposal and shipping logistics are more complex, restoring what you already own is often the more sustainable and practical choice.
