Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Das Upholstery focuses on furniture reupholstery, which means stripping down worn or damaged pieces to their frames and rebuilding them with fresh padding and fabric. This process covers sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, and ottomans. Customers can bring in their own fabric or choose from available materials at the shop. The work typically includes replacing foam or batting that's lost its shape, then wrapping and stapling or sewing new fabric tightly over the frame for a clean, lasting finish.

Service Area

Das Upholstery serves customers throughout Brooklyn and accepts work from across New York City's other boroughs. Clients from nearby neighborhoods like Park Slope, Williamsburg, and Bay Ridge regularly bring pieces in. Given Brooklyn's central position, it's also convenient for customers coming in from parts of Queens or Lower Manhattan.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it typically cost to reupholster a sofa in Brooklyn?
Sofa reupholstery in Brooklyn generally runs between $600 and $2,000 depending on the size, fabric choice, and how much structural work the frame needs. Larger sectionals or pieces requiring significant padding replacement will land toward the higher end. Getting an in-person estimate is the most reliable way to know what your specific piece will cost.
Do I need to bring my furniture in, or do you offer pickup?
Many Brooklyn upholstery shops accept drop-offs at their location, but some also offer pickup and delivery for an added fee. It's worth calling ahead to confirm what's available and whether your piece qualifies. Larger items like full sofas often benefit from the shop's own transport to avoid damage.
Can I supply my own fabric for the reupholstery job?
Yes, most upholstery shops are happy to work with customer-supplied fabric as long as there's enough yardage for the job. A good shop will tell you exactly how many yards you'll need before you purchase. Just make sure your fabric is upholstery-grade, since lighter fabrics like drapery material tend to wear out much faster on furniture.
How long does a typical reupholstery job take?
A single chair usually takes about a week, while a full sofa can take one to three weeks depending on the shop's current workload and the complexity of the job. Custom work or intricate tufting patterns will take longer. It's always smart to ask for a timeline when you drop off your piece so you can plan accordingly.
Is it worth reupholstering old furniture instead of just buying new?
It depends on the quality of the frame. Older furniture, especially pieces made before the 1980s, often has hardwood frames and quality construction that's difficult to find in modern budget furniture. If the bones are solid, reupholstering can give you a piece that lasts decades longer for less than a quality replacement would cost.
What types of furniture can be reupholstered?
Most upholstered pieces with a structural frame can be redone, including sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, headboards, and benches. Pieces with severely damaged or cracked frames may need carpentry work first, which some shops handle in-house. It's worth having any frame issues assessed before committing to the fabric work.
