Memphis has no shortage of older homes filled with furniture worth saving, and a shop that does both jobs cuts down on the hassle of coordinating multiple contractors.

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at this shop involves removing old fabric and padding, evaluating the frame, and applying fresh materials selected from a range of fabric and leather options. The refinishing side of the business covers stripping worn or damaged wood finishes and applying stains, paints, or clear coats to restore the original look or give the piece a new direction. Together, these services mean a wingback chair or antique settee can come out looking completely renewed, fabric and wood both addressed. Cushion replacement is also part of the upholstery work, using foam densities matched to the intended use of the furniture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you refinish and reupholster a piece at the same time?
Yes, handling both in one visit is actually the most efficient approach since the fabric needs to come off before the wood can be properly refinished anyway. Doing them together ensures the finished piece looks cohesive and saves you from making two separate trips.
What kinds of furniture are worth refinishing and reupholstering?
Solid wood pieces with good structural integrity are the best candidates, including dining chairs, wingback chairs, benches, and antique sofas. If the frame is sturdy and the wood has good bones, combined refinishing and reupholstery almost always costs less than buying a comparable quality replacement.
How do I choose between keeping the original wood stain or changing the color?
It comes down to personal preference and how the piece fits into your space. A refinisher can show you sample stains on a small section of the wood before committing, which takes the guesswork out of the decision.
Do you work on antique furniture that might need special care?
Most experienced refinishing and upholstery shops in Memphis are familiar with older furniture construction methods and can work with antique pieces carefully. It's worth mentioning any known history of the piece, like previous repairs or original finishes, so the shop can factor that into their approach.
How do I transport a large armchair or sofa to your shop?
For large pieces, a pickup truck or SUV with the seats folded down usually does the trick for most sofas and chairs. If transportation is a challenge, it's worth asking the shop whether they offer any pickup options or can recommend a local furniture mover.
Will the new fabric match the rest of my furniture at home?
Bringing a fabric swatch, throw pillow, or even a photo of your room helps enormously when selecting new material. Most shops have a wide enough selection that you can find something that coordinates well with your existing pieces.
