Frequently Asked Questions

Does Mac's Upholstery work on classic or vintage cars?
Yes, auto upholstery is one of their listed service categories, which includes work on older and classic vehicles. It's a good idea to call and describe your specific car and the scope of work so they can confirm they have the right materials and experience for your project.
Can I bring in an antique chair without knowing what fabric it originally had?
Absolutely. Antique restoration often involves some detective work, and a skilled upholsterer can assess the piece and recommend period-appropriate fabrics or modern equivalents. Bringing in any reference photos you have of the original piece can help guide the conversation.
How long does a standard furniture reupholstery job take in Seattle?
Most single pieces like a sofa or armchair take two to four weeks depending on the shop's current workload and fabric availability. Larger sets or pieces needing structural repairs can take longer, so it's worth asking for a timeline estimate when you drop off your item.
What should I do to prepare my furniture before bringing it in?
Clear off any cushions, remove personal items from drawers or compartments, and clean off surface dust as best you can. You don't need to strip anything yourself since that's part of what the shop handles.
Does the shop provide fabric, or do I need to supply my own?
Most upholstery shops carry a selection of fabrics and can order from suppliers, but many also accept customer-supplied material. If you've already found a fabric you love, confirm with the shop that it's suitable for the type of piece and use it will see.
Is it worth reupholstering older furniture, or should I just buy new?
If the frame is solid hardwood and the piece has sentimental or antique value, reupholstering almost always makes more sense than replacing it. Mass-produced new furniture often uses softer wood frames and lower-quality construction, so a well-built older piece restored with good fabric will typically outlast a modern replacement.
