Frequently Asked Questions

What types of furniture can Queen City Upholstery work on?
Most upholstered furniture is fair game, including sofas, loveseats, sectionals, armchairs, dining chairs, benches, headboards, and ottomans. If it has fabric or cushions, there's a good chance it can be reupholstered.
How do I pick the right fabric for my furniture?
Think about how the piece is used first. High-traffic seating needs a durable, cleanable fabric, while a bedroom chair can handle something more delicate. The shop can help you narrow down options based on your lifestyle and the look you're going for.
Will my furniture look different after reupholstery?
It will look refreshed and updated, but the shape and structure of the piece stays the same. If you choose a fabric with a bold pattern or different color, the transformation can be dramatic while still feeling like the same piece.
How much fabric does a typical sofa need for reupholstery?
A standard three-cushion sofa typically requires 12 to 18 yards of fabric depending on the size, arm style, and whether the fabric has a pattern that needs to be matched. Your upholsterer will give you an accurate yardage number once they've looked at the piece.
Is there a difference between reupholstery and slipcovers?
Yes. Reupholstery involves permanently replacing the fabric on the frame for a tailored, long-lasting result. Slipcovers are removable covers that fit over the existing furniture, which is less expensive but won't look as polished or last as long.
Can I reupholster a piece I bought at a thrift store?
Absolutely, and it's one of the best ways to get a high-quality piece for less. Older furniture often has better frame construction than newer mass-produced items, so reupholstering a solid thrift find can give you something that outperforms anything at a retail price point.
