Frequently Asked Questions

Can Douglas Upholstery match the original fabric on an antique piece?
Matching original fabric exactly can be difficult depending on how old the piece is, but experienced upholsterers can often find very close alternatives or period-appropriate materials. Bring photos and any original fabric samples you have to the consultation.
What should I look for when deciding if a piece is worth reupholstering?
Check that the frame is solid wood and structurally sound with no major breaks or wobbling. If the bones are good, reupholstery is almost always worth it for quality pieces, especially those with sentimental or antique value.
Does the shop work with customer-supplied fabric?
Many upholstery shops accept customer-supplied fabric, often called COM or customer's own material. You'll want to confirm yardage requirements in advance and make sure the fabric is appropriate for upholstery use, since not all decorative fabrics hold up to the tension of the process.
How do I get a quote for reupholstery in Minneapolis?
Calling ahead with photos is a good starting point, but most shops prefer to see the piece in person before giving a firm price. Bring the item or arrange a shop visit to get an accurate estimate.
Is there a difference between reupholstery and slipcovers?
Reupholstery involves removing old material and permanently applying new fabric directly to the frame, while slipcovers are removable covers fitted over existing upholstery. Reupholstery produces a cleaner, more durable result and is typically the better choice for valued pieces.
How should I prepare my furniture before bringing it to the shop?
Remove any personal items from drawers or compartments and clean the piece as best you can. You don't need to remove old fabric yourself as that's part of the reupholstery process.
