Services & Process

The shop handles furniture reupholstery alongside its furniture retail operation, giving customers the flexibility to buy new or restore what they already own. Reupholstery work covers sofas, loveseats, accent chairs, and dining seating, with fabric selection available in-store. Having a furniture showroom on-site means the team understands how different materials age and perform, which helps them guide customers toward smarter fabric choices for their reupholstery projects. Custom work on unique or non-standard pieces is also a natural fit for a shop with this kind of hands-on furniture expertise.

Service Area

The Furniture Shop serves Chicago residents across multiple neighborhoods, with its location making it a practical stop for customers from the South and West sides as well as central Chicago. People shopping for both new furniture and reupholstery services don't have to make two trips to two different places. Suburban customers also find it worth the drive given the shop's consistent track record.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy new furniture and have old pieces reupholstered at the same shop?
Yes, The Furniture Shop handles both, which makes it convenient if you're furnishing or refreshing a space. You can compare the cost of new furniture against reupholstering what you already own and make a more informed decision on the spot.
What fabric options are typically available in-store?
Most upholstery shops that also retail furniture carry a range of fabrics including cotton blends, velvet, microfiber, and leather or faux leather. The in-store selection lets you feel the material before committing, which makes a real difference in satisfaction.
How do I know if my furniture frame is strong enough to be worth reupholstering?
A shop with furniture retail experience can assess frame quality quickly since they handle new and old construction daily. Generally, solid hardwood frames with tight joints are worth restoring, while particleboard or heavily warped frames may not be.
Does the shop work on commercial furniture for offices or restaurants?
Many upholstery shops with a retail background are comfortable with commercial-grade seating since the construction is often more standardized. It's worth calling to discuss volume and timeline if you have multiple pieces that need work.
What makes a 5-star upholstery shop different from an average one?
Consistent craftsmanship, honest communication about timelines and costs, and proper fabric alignment and stitching are what separate top-rated shops from mediocre ones. You'll notice the difference in how patterns are matched and how tight the finished corners look.
How do I prepare my furniture before bringing it to a reupholstery shop?
Remove any cushions, personal items, or loose parts before transporting the piece. You don't need to clean it thoroughly since the shop will be stripping the existing fabric, but removing valuables stored in or under cushions is a good idea.
