Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery here means recovering pieces with fresh fabric while also addressing any underlying structural issues before the new material goes on. Furniture repair covers the mechanical and structural side: fixing broken joints, stabilizing wobbly legs, replacing damaged hardware, and refinishing surfaces that have taken abuse over the years. Handling both services together is a real advantage because it means a piece comes back to you restored completely, not just covered over. Customers restoring older homes or antique finds benefit most from this kind of integrated approach.

Service Area

The Gifts He Gave Us serves Independence and the broader Polk County area, with easy access for customers coming from Salem, Monmouth, and Dallas. Independence's location along Highway 51 makes it a straightforward drive for West Salem residents and those coming from the coast range communities. Anyone in the mid-valley looking for combined upholstery and repair work will find the location convenient.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you handle both the structural repair and reupholstery on the same piece?
Yes, and doing both together is actually the smarter approach because the repair work happens before the new fabric goes on. You don't want a beautiful new cover over a frame that's still going to fail in six months.
Do you restore antique furniture, or only modern pieces?
Shops that handle both repair and reupholstery are generally well-equipped for antique work, since older pieces often need structural attention alongside fabric replacement. Just be upfront about the piece's age and any known history so the shop can approach it appropriately.
How do you handle furniture with sentimental value? Is it safe to leave it at the shop?
Reputable local shops treat customer pieces with care, and it's completely reasonable to ask how items are stored and tracked while in their possession. Don't hesitate to communicate that a piece is irreplaceable; a good shop will take that seriously.
Can you repair furniture that was damaged during a move?
Move damage, including cracked joints, broken legs, and gouged surfaces, is one of the most common reasons people bring furniture in for repair. Most of it is very fixable, and the repairs often cost far less than replacing the piece.
Do you offer pickup and delivery for larger furniture pieces?
Some shops offer pickup and delivery, especially for heavy or awkward items like sectionals and armoires. It's worth asking about this when you call, since availability and any associated fees vary by provider.
What's the best way to care for newly reupholstered furniture?
Rotating cushions regularly, keeping fabric away from direct sunlight, and addressing spills immediately with a clean cloth go a long way toward extending the life of new upholstery. The shop can also recommend a fabric protector spray appropriate for whatever material was used.
