Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my sofa is worth reupholstering?
The most important factor is frame quality. If the sofa has a solid hardwood frame and good joinery, reupholstering it almost always makes more financial and practical sense than buying a new piece of comparable quality. Sofas with particleboard or softwood frames may not be worth the investment.
Can Upholstery Outfitters match fabric to an existing piece I already have?
Bringing a swatch, photo, or even the existing cushion to the shop helps the team find a close or complementary match. While an exact match isn't always possible, an experienced upholsterer can often find something that reads as intentional rather than mismatched.
What's the typical cost range for reupholstering a sofa in Seattle?
Sofa reupholstery in the Seattle area generally runs between $800 and $2,500 depending on the size, complexity, and fabric choice. A large sectional or a piece needing significant structural repair will cost more than a straightforward loveseat.
Do I need to remove cushions before dropping off my furniture?
It's fine to bring the piece as-is, cushions included, since the upholsterer will disassemble everything as part of the process. Just make sure the piece is clear of any personal items, blankets, or decorative pillows.
Can you reupholster dining chairs with a different fabric than the sofa they're paired with?
Yes, mixing fabrics between dining chairs and a nearby sofa is a common and intentional design approach. Many customers choose a more durable, easy-clean fabric for dining chairs while using something softer on the sofa.
How many yards of fabric does a typical armchair require?
A standard armchair usually takes between four and seven yards of fabric depending on its size and any pattern matching required. A taller wingback or a chair with a large pattern repeat may need more, so it's best to confirm yardage with the shop before ordering material.
