About Gilbertt Furniture & Upholstering

Gilbertt Furniture and Upholstering is a Peoria, Illinois institution that combines a furniture store, fabric store, and full reupholstery service under one roof. That kind of one-stop setup is rare in a mid-sized Midwest city, and it means customers can browse fabric options while also picking out new pieces or bringing in items for restoration. Peoria's older housing stock is full of quality furniture worth saving, and having a local shop with retail and repair capabilities makes the process much more approachable.

Gilbertt serves Peoria and the surrounding metro area, including communities like East Peoria, Pekin, Washington, and Morton. Peoria is the largest city in central Illinois, and the shop's location makes it accessible to customers from across the region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy fabric at Gilbertt even if I'm not having furniture reupholstered there?
Yes, the fabric store is a separate part of the business and you can purchase material for your own projects. It's worth calling ahead to ask about current stock and pricing for the type of fabric you need.
Does Gilbertt sell new furniture alongside offering reupholstery?
They operate as a furniture store, fabric store, and upholstery shop combined, so yes, new and refurbished furniture is available for purchase. This makes it easy to compare the cost of buying new versus restoring what you already have.
What kinds of furniture can be reupholstered at this shop?
Most upholstered pieces including sofas, loveseats, armchairs, recliners, dining chairs, and ottomans can be done. Pieces with unusual construction or significant frame damage may need evaluation before a quote is given.
How do I choose the right fabric for a piece I want reupholstered?
Staff can help you match durability and texture to the piece's use, which is important since a family sofa needs much tougher fabric than a bedroom reading chair. They'll also consider pattern scale, color coordination, and your budget when making recommendations.
Is reupholstering antique or heirloom furniture something you handle?
Yes, older furniture with solid frames is well-suited to reupholstery, and experienced craftspeople know how to work with aged wood and original construction without causing damage. Letting the shop inspect the piece first ensures they can do it properly.
How long does it typically take to get furniture reupholstered in Peoria?
Turnaround depends on the shop's current workload and the complexity of the job, but most standard pieces take one to three weeks. Larger or more detailed jobs, or work that requires ordering specific fabric, may take longer.
