Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get custom furniture built and upholstered in one place?
Shops that combine furniture construction with upholstery work, like Bridge Street, can often handle both sides of a project. This is especially useful if you want a piece built to specific dimensions and then finished in a fabric or leather of your choosing.
How do I choose between fabric and leather for reupholstery?
Leather is durable, easy to clean, and ages well if maintained, but it can feel stiff in colder climates like Michigan winters. Quality upholstery fabrics offer more variety in color and texture and can be just as durable depending on the weave and fiber content.
What's involved in a furniture reupholstery consultation?
You'll typically discuss the piece's current condition, your goals for the finished product, and what kind of use it'll get daily. The shop will assess the frame, show you material samples, and give you a cost estimate based on everything involved.
Can Grand Rapids upholsterers match fabric on a set of chairs?
Yes, matching fabric across multiple pieces is standard practice. If you're having a dining set or a pair of chairs done together, bring them all in at once so the shop can ensure consistent cutting and pattern alignment across every piece.
Do upholstery shops work with interior designers?
Many upholstery shops in Grand Rapids have established relationships with local interior designers and welcome trade work. If you're a designer specifying furniture for a client project, it's worth asking about trade pricing and project turnaround expectations.
Is it possible to change the cushion firmness when reupholstering?
Absolutely. Reupholstery is the perfect time to upgrade foam density, switch to a different fill material, or add a layer of down wrapping for a softer feel. Tell your upholsterer what you're looking for in terms of comfort and they'll recommend the right materials.
