Services & Process

Reding Cabinet Refinishing works across two closely related trades, antique restoration and furniture reupholstery, which means they can address the full picture when a piece needs help. On the antique side, that involves careful refinishing of wood surfaces, repair of joinery, and matching original finishes as closely as possible. For upholstery, they handle fabric replacement on antique chairs, settees, and other period furniture where the original construction requires a more delicate approach. Combining cabinet work and upholstery under one roof means you don't have to coordinate multiple vendors for a single piece.

Service Area

Reding Cabinet Refinishing serves customers throughout Tacoma and the greater Pierce County area. Whether you're bringing in a piece from the Proctor District, University Place, or further out in Gig Harbor or Puyallup, the shop's central Tacoma location makes it reasonably accessible from across the region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can antique furniture be reupholstered without damaging its value?
It depends on the piece. For most antiques, using period-appropriate fabrics and techniques actually preserves or enhances value, especially if the original upholstery was already worn beyond recognition. A specialist who understands antique construction is the key to getting this right.
What's the difference between cabinet refinishing and furniture restoration?
Cabinet refinishing focuses on stripping and re-coating the surface of wood pieces to restore their appearance. Furniture restoration is broader and can include structural repairs, hardware replacement, and upholstery work alongside any surface finishing.
How do I know if my antique chair is worth restoring?
A quick appraisal from a restoration specialist can give you a rough sense of the piece's value versus the cost of work. Generally, solid hardwood frames with hand-crafted joinery are worth the investment, while low-grade manufactured wood is harder to justify.
Does Reding Cabinet Refinishing work on chairs and sofas or just cabinets?
Despite the name, they offer furniture reupholstery services alongside their cabinet and antique restoration work. It's worth calling them directly at (253) 475-6968 to discuss the specifics of what you need.
What fabrics are appropriate for Victorian or Edwardian furniture?
Wool blends, velvets, damasks, and tapestry-style weaves are all period-appropriate choices for Victorian and Edwardian pieces. Many shops can also source modern fabrics that mimic historic patterns while offering better durability.
How much does antique furniture reupholstery cost in Tacoma?
Pricing varies widely based on the complexity of the piece, the fabric chosen, and whether structural repairs are needed. A single antique chair might run anywhere from $200 to $700 or more depending on those factors.
