Services & Process

Kustom Kraft works on furniture reupholstery with an emphasis on pieces that have some history to them, which means preserving structural integrity matters as much as the fabric work. Antique furniture often uses traditional construction methods like hand-tied springs and horsehair padding, and working with those materials properly requires experience beyond modern upholstery. The shop also deals in antique goods themselves, making it a practical stop for collectors who want to restore a piece they've found or sell and trade within the same space. That dual nature as workshop and goods dealer makes it genuinely different.

Service Area

Kustom Kraft is based in Huntington and draws customers from across the Tri-State region, including parts of eastern Kentucky and southern Ohio. The shop's antiques focus means clients sometimes travel from Ashland, Ironton, and even further out when they have a significant piece that needs restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster antique furniture without damaging its value?
That depends on the piece and how the restoration is approached. Using period-appropriate materials and techniques helps preserve historical integrity, and a shop experienced with antiques will know when to restore versus when to leave something original.
What kinds of antique pieces do you typically work on?
Victorian parlor chairs, mid-century modern sofas, and other upholstered antiques are common projects. Anything with a salvageable frame and significant history is worth bringing in for an evaluation.
Do you buy or sell antique furniture in addition to restoration work?
The Odd Goods side of the business suggests they deal in antique items as well as restore them. It's worth calling to ask about current inventory and whether they're buying pieces at the moment.
How do I find the right fabric for an antique piece I want to restore?
Period research helps, and a shop familiar with antiques will have a sense of what fabrics were common in a given era. You don't always have to use exact replicas, but choosing something that fits the style of the piece tends to look better.
Is it possible to modernize an antique chair while keeping the original frame?
Absolutely. Many customers want the character of an older frame with a cleaner, more contemporary fabric. That combination works well when the frame itself has good lines and solid construction.
What should I bring when I come in to get an estimate on antique upholstery?
Bring the piece itself if you can, or clear photos from multiple angles if it's large or difficult to transport. Any history you know about the piece, including approximate age and origin, helps them make more informed recommendations.
