Services & Process

Knops handles full furniture reupholstery, which involves removing old fabric and padding, inspecting the frame, and applying new materials tailored to your preferences. The furniture store side of the business means you can also shop for ready-made pieces if restoration isn't the right fit for your item. Fabric selection is a key part of the process, with options ranging from budget-friendly polyester blends to higher-end woven textiles. Cushion replacement and padding upgrades are common add-ons for customers whose furniture frames are still in good shape.

Service Area

Knops Upholstery Shop serves San Leandro and the broader East Bay corridor. Customers regularly come from Oakland, Hayward, Castro Valley, and San Lorenzo. The shop's central location along the 880 corridor makes it a convenient stop for anyone in the southern East Bay.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between reupholstery and furniture repair?
Reupholstery focuses on replacing the fabric, padding, and sometimes springs on a piece. Furniture repair addresses structural issues like broken frames, loose joints, or damaged legs. Many projects involve both.
Can I buy furniture directly from Knops if I don't want to reupholster?
Yes, the shop operates as both an upholstery service and a furniture store. You can browse available inventory if you decide restoration isn't the right path for your current piece.
How do I know if my furniture frame is worth saving?
A good upholstery shop will inspect the joints, legs, and internal structure before quoting you. Solid hardwood frames from older American manufacturers are almost always worth restoring. Particleboard or MDF frames from budget furniture usually aren't.
Do you work with interior designers in the East Bay?
Yes, many upholstery shops in the area regularly partner with interior designers on client projects. It's worth calling (510) 635-2896 to ask about trade pricing or project timelines if you're working on a design project.
How do I transport large furniture to your shop in San Leandro?
For large sofas or sectionals, most customers rent a truck or use a moving service. Some upholstery shops offer pickup for an additional fee, so it's worth asking when you call.
What fabrics hold up best in homes with pets?
Performance fabrics like Crypton or tightly woven microfibers are popular choices for pet owners because they resist claws and are easy to clean. Leather is another durable option, though scratches can be more visible over time.
