Services & Process

Office furniture reupholstery typically covers task chairs, conference room seating, reception area furniture, waiting room chairs, and lobby sofas.

Commercial clients often need multiple pieces done at once, and a shop focused on this market understands how to handle volume while maintaining consistent quality. Material selection for office work tends to prioritize durability and cleanability over decorative appeal, and a specialized shop can guide those choices well.

Schaefers Office Furniture Upholstery serves commercial clients throughout Pittsburgh and the greater Allegheny County area. Businesses in the downtown Pittsburgh corridor, Oakland, the Strip District, and surrounding suburban office parks regularly use the shop for commercial upholstery projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it cost-effective to reupholster office chairs rather than buying new ones?
For quality office chairs with good frames, reupholstery is often significantly cheaper than replacement, especially for ergonomic task chairs that cost several hundred dollars new. You're essentially getting a like-new chair for a fraction of the replacement cost.
What fabrics are best for high-traffic office seating?
Commercial-grade fabrics with high rub counts, typically 50,000 or above, are the right choice for office furniture. Vinyl and faux leather are also popular because they're easy to clean and hold up well to the kind of daily use that office chairs get.
Can you handle large orders for multiple pieces at once?
Shops that specialize in commercial upholstery are set up to handle volume orders with consistent results across all pieces. It's worth discussing your timeline and quantity upfront so the shop can plan accordingly and minimize disruption to your office.
Do you work with commercial property managers and facilities teams?
Yes, commercial upholstery shops regularly work with property managers, facilities directors, and office administrators who are responsible for maintaining large inventories of seating. Establishing an ongoing relationship with a local shop makes it easier to address upholstery needs as they come up.
How long does it take to reupholster a set of conference room chairs?
A set of 8 to 12 conference chairs can typically be completed in one to two weeks, depending on the shop's current workload and the complexity of the chairs. Simpler seat-and-back designs go faster than chairs with complex curves or detailed stitching.
Can medical or healthcare office furniture be reupholstered with antimicrobial fabric?
Yes, antimicrobial and fluid-resistant vinyl and fabric options are available specifically for healthcare and clinical environments. These materials are designed to withstand the kind of cleaning protocols used in medical offices without breaking down prematurely.
