Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical reupholstery job take at The Looking Glass?
Most standard pieces like a sofa or set of dining chairs take one to three weeks depending on workload and fabric availability. It's worth asking when you drop off your piece so you can plan accordingly.
Can they help me pick the right fabric for my living room?
Yes, and that's actually one of the things that makes this shop useful. Their home decor focus means they'll consider your existing furniture, lighting, and color scheme before recommending fabric options.
Is it worth reupholstering an older couch, or should I just buy new?
If the frame is solid hardwood and the piece has good bones, reupholstering often costs less than replacing it with furniture of comparable quality. A shop can inspect the frame and give you an honest assessment before you commit.
Do they work on antique or heirloom furniture?
Shops that combine furniture repair with reupholstery typically handle antique pieces with care, preserving the original construction where possible. It's best to mention upfront that a piece has sentimental or antique value.
Can I bring fabric I've already purchased?
Many upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric. Just confirm the yardage requirements before you buy, since different pieces need different amounts and cutting errors can be costly.
What types of furniture does The Looking Glass typically work on?
They handle a wide range, including sofas, loveseats, dining chairs, ottomans, headboards, and accent chairs. If you have something unusual, it's always worth a call to ask.
