Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy fabric here without using your reupholstery service?
Yes, the fabric store operates independently of the reupholstery service, so you're welcome to purchase fabric for your own sewing or DIY projects. The staff can help you estimate how much yardage you'll need for common projects like chairs or cushions.
What fabric types do you carry for furniture reupholstery?
A fabric store specializing in upholstery typically carries a range of options including cotton blends, velvets, performance fabrics, faux leather, and decorator-weight textiles built to handle daily use. Selection varies, so visiting in person gives you the best sense of what's available.
How do I choose the right fabric for a piece that gets heavy use?
For high-traffic furniture, look for performance fabrics rated by double-rub count, which measures how much friction a fabric can withstand before showing wear. The staff can point you toward durable options that still look great in a home setting.
Do you reupholster antique furniture?
Many upholstery shops with furniture reupholstery experience are comfortable working on antique pieces, though the approach requires extra care to preserve original details. It's worth calling (520) 219-4549 to describe your specific piece before bringing it in.
How long does furniture reupholstery take in Tucson?
A typical single-piece reupholstery project takes anywhere from one to three weeks, depending on complexity and how backed up the shop is. Ordering a specialty fabric that isn't in stock can add time, so choosing from available inventory speeds things up.
Can you reupholster outdoor furniture with weather-resistant fabric?
Yes, outdoor furniture reupholstery requires solution-dyed acrylic or other UV and moisture-resistant fabrics that hold up in Tucson's harsh sun. Using the right fabric matters a lot here since standard indoor fabrics break down quickly in the desert climate.
