About Staley's Upholstery

Staley's Upholstery operates out of Tea, South Dakota, a fast-growing community just southwest of Sioux Falls along the I-29 corridor. What makes this shop stand out is the combination of furniture reupholstery and auto upholstery under one roof, which is a practical advantage for customers who need both types of work done. Tea's location puts it close enough to Sioux Falls to draw city customers while also serving the surrounding rural communities in Lincoln County. Whether you're bringing in a dining chair or a classic truck interior, this shop covers both.

Services & Process

Staley's handles two distinct categories of upholstery work: furniture and automotive. On the furniture side, that means recovering sofas, chairs, sectionals, and other household pieces using customer-selected fabrics. Auto upholstery work involves replacing or repairing seat covers, door panels, headliners, and convertible tops on cars, trucks, and classic vehicles. Classic car restorers in the region particularly value shops that understand period-correct materials and stitching patterns. Both service types require precise cutting, fitting, and sewing, and shops offering both tend to bring serious craft skills to everything they do.

Service Area

Staley's Upholstery is based in Tea, SD, and draws customers from throughout Lincoln County and the greater Sioux Falls metro area. The shop is conveniently located for residents of Tea, Harrisburg, Lennox, and those coming down from Sioux Falls. Call (507) 625-3332 to discuss your project and confirm current availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Staley's do work on classic and vintage vehicles?
Auto upholstery shops with broad experience typically handle vintage vehicles, though the materials and techniques differ from modern work. Sourcing period-correct fabrics or vinyl for a 1960s or 1970s vehicle takes some research, and it's worth discussing what you're looking for in detail before the project begins. Bring photos and any reference materials you have to help the shop understand the original interior.
What's the difference between furniture and auto upholstery work?
Auto upholstery requires fitting fabric around curved, contoured surfaces like bucket seats and door panels, often with precise stitching patterns that match factory specs. Furniture upholstery deals with larger flat and cushioned surfaces on frames that are easier to access. Both require strong sewing skills, but auto work tends to be more technically demanding in terms of fit and finish.
How long does an auto upholstery job typically take?
A simple seat cover replacement might be done in a day or two, while a full interior restoration on a classic vehicle can take several weeks. The timeline depends heavily on how much work is involved and whether specialty materials need to be ordered. Ask for a specific timeline estimate when you drop off the vehicle.
Can I get both my car seats and a home sofa done at the same shop?
Yes, and having a single shop handle both means you're working with people who are already familiar with your taste and communication style. You can often drop off both at the same time and pick them up together when everything is done. It's a practical convenience that's worth taking advantage of.
Is Tea, SD a convenient location for Sioux Falls residents?
Tea is just a short drive from Sioux Falls along I-29, making it very accessible for city residents. Many Sioux Falls homeowners and car owners regularly use services in Tea without it feeling like a trip. The drive is usually under 20 minutes from most parts of the Sioux Falls metro.
What vehicle types does auto upholstery cover?
Auto upholstery work typically covers cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and classic or custom vehicles of all kinds. Some shops also handle farm equipment cabs and commercial vehicle interiors. If you have something unusual, describe it when you call so the shop can tell you whether it's within their scope.
