About Feely Brad Upholsterer

Feely Brad Upholsterer operates in Minneapolis, Minnesota, bringing hands-on upholstery craftsmanship to one of the Twin Cities' largest and most design-active markets. Minneapolis homeowners have a strong appreciation for well-made furniture, and local upholsterers serve a clientele that includes everyone from first-time homeowners refreshing a thrift-store find to seasoned collectors restoring heirloom pieces. Working with a named, individual upholsterer rather than a large shop often means more direct communication and a higher level of personal accountability for the finished work.

Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery services cover the full range of residential upholstered pieces, including sofas, chairs, loveseats, chaise lounges, window seat cushions, and more. The work starts with stripping the piece down to its frame, assessing the condition of springs, webbing, and foam, and rebuilding the piece layer by layer before the final fabric is applied. Working with an individual craftsperson typically means your piece gets handled by one skilled set of hands throughout, rather than moving through a production-style process.

Service Area

Feely Brad Upholsterer serves Minneapolis and the surrounding metro communities. Customers from Saint Louis Park, Richfield, Edina, and other south and southwest Minneapolis suburbs regularly work with Minneapolis-based upholsterers for quality furniture restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between working with an individual upholsterer and a larger shop?
With an individual craftsperson, you typically deal with one person from start to finish, which means better communication and more consistent results. Larger shops may be faster on high-volume work, but a solo upholsterer often brings more care and attention to each piece.
Can you reupholster mid-century modern furniture without changing its character?
Yes, and it's a common request in Minneapolis given how many mid-century pieces are still in circulation here. The key is choosing fabric that's true to the era and preserving the original lines and proportions of the piece rather than altering them.
How should I transport my furniture to the shop?
Most customers use a truck, SUV, or van, or rent a cargo vehicle for larger pieces. Protect the furniture with moving blankets to avoid damaging wood trim or existing fabric during transport. Call ahead to confirm shop hours and whether loading help is available.
Can upholstery repair a sagging or broken sofa cushion?
Absolutely. Replacing worn-out foam or adding new batting to sagging cushions is one of the most common upholstery requests. The difference in comfort and appearance once the cushions are rebuilt is usually dramatic.
Is it worth reupholstering a sofa from a big-box furniture store?
It depends on the quality of the frame. Many mass-market sofas have particleboard or low-grade frames that won't hold up well once reupholstered. A skilled upholsterer can assess the frame and give you an honest opinion on whether the investment makes sense.
Do you work on commercial furniture for offices or restaurants?
Many upholsterers do take on commercial projects, including office chairs, banquette seating, and restaurant booth cushions. Commercial work often requires contract-grade fabrics rated for higher wear, so mention upfront that it's for a commercial setting when you inquire.
