Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to reupholster a recliner, or is it too complicated?
Recliners can be reupholstered, but they're among the more complex pieces because of the moving parts and mechanism access. An experienced upholstery shop handles these regularly, so don't assume a recliner is off limits just because it's mechanical.
How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
The key factor is the frame. If it's solid hardwood and the joints are tight, the piece is almost always worth restoring. Particleboard frames or cheaply stapled construction are harder to justify, since reupholstery costs could exceed the value of the result.
What's the process for choosing upholstery fabric?
Shops typically have sample books from multiple fabric suppliers, and you'll choose based on color, texture, durability rating, and budget. A good shop will also advise you on which fabrics work best for your specific piece and how you plan to use it.
Can Hermann Russell H Upholstery handle commercial seating projects?
Many upholstery shops in the Milwaukee area do take on commercial work like restaurant booth seating, office chairs, or lobby furniture. It's worth calling to ask about volume pricing and turnaround times for larger projects.
Do I need to remove the furniture legs before bringing in a piece?
For most drops-offs, you don't need to disassemble anything. The shop will handle disassembly as part of the process. That said, removing legs can make transport easier if you're working with a low vehicle.
How long should a reupholstery job last before the fabric needs replacing again?
With quality fabric and proper care, a professional reupholstery job should last ten to twenty years or more on a well-used piece. Choosing a fabric rated for high-traffic use and keeping it clean makes a significant difference in longevity.
