Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery involves stripping a piece down to its frame, inspecting the springs and padding, then rebuilding it with fresh materials and new fabric. A good upholsterer will assess whether the frame needs any repairs before covering it, since the structure underneath determines how long the finished piece holds up. Fabric selection is a big part of the process, with options ranging from budget-friendly polyester blends to high-durability performance fabrics ideal for homes with kids or pets. Cushion foam replacement is typically included when the existing foam has compressed or lost its shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
The main factor is the quality of the frame. Solid wood frames, especially on older pieces, can last decades with fresh upholstery, while cheap particleboard frames may not be worth the investment. A quick consultation with the shop can help you decide.
How long does furniture reupholstery typically take in Wichita?
Most standard pieces like armchairs or loveseats take one to two weeks once work begins. Larger items like sectionals or pieces needing frame repairs may take closer to three weeks.
Can I bring my own fabric to the shop?
Many upholstery shops accept customer-supplied fabric, though it's worth confirming ahead of time. Keep in mind that if the fabric you provide turns out to be insufficient yardage or unsuitable for upholstery use, you may need to purchase additional material.
What types of furniture can be reupholstered?
Sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, headboards, and benches are all commonly reupholstered. Even oddly shaped or antique pieces can often be refreshed, though more complex items take more time and cost more to complete.
Is reupholstering cheaper than buying new furniture?
For mid-range to high-quality furniture, reupholstery often costs less than buying a comparable new piece. It's especially worth it when the existing frame is solid and the piece has sentimental value or a style that's hard to find in stores.
Do upholstery shops in Wichita offer pickup and delivery?
Some local shops offer pickup and delivery for an additional fee, while others require customers to drop off and collect their own furniture. It's best to ask when you call, since policies vary by shop and job size.
