Frequently Asked Questions

Can antique furniture be reupholstered without losing its original character?
Yes, a skilled upholsterer can preserve the original frame, proportions, and even traditional construction details like hand-tied springs while replacing worn fabric and padding. It's important to communicate what aspects of the piece matter most to you before work begins.
How much does it cost to reupholster a sofa in New Orleans?
Sofa reupholstery in the New Orleans area generally runs anywhere from $500 to over $2,000 depending on size, fabric choice, and how much frame or spring repair is needed. Getting a specific quote based on your actual piece is always the most reliable way to budget.
Do I need to remove the furniture legs before bringing in a piece for reupholstery?
Most shops prefer to receive the furniture as-is so they can assess everything together. If legs unscrew easily and help with transport, that's usually fine, but your upholsterer will guide you on what they need when you call ahead.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slip-covering furniture?
Reupholstering involves permanently replacing the fabric and often the internal padding, which gives a cleaner, more tailored result. Slip covers are removable and easier to swap out, but they rarely look as polished and can shift with regular use.
Can Upholstery by Anthony work on headboards and bedroom furniture?
Headboards are a common reupholstery project and typically straightforward to do well. If you're refreshing a bedroom, it's worth asking whether they can coordinate fabric across a headboard and any accent pieces at the same time.
How do I choose the right upholstery fabric for a piece I use every day?
For high-use furniture, you'll want to look at the fabric's rub count, which measures how well it resists wear. A specialist can point you toward options that balance durability with the look and feel you're going for.
