Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at Verna's Chair covers the full range of upholstered pieces, with a natural emphasis on chairs given the shop's identity. That includes wingbacks, armchairs, dining chairs, recliners, and accent chairs in every style from traditional to mid-century. The process involves stripping the old fabric, assessing the padding and spring condition, making any necessary repairs, and applying new material with clean seams and tight corners. Cushion rebuilding is often part of the job when foam has broken down over years of use, since new fabric over a collapsed cushion doesn't restore comfort or appearance.

Service Area

Verna's Chair is located in Norwood and serves customers from surrounding Cincinnati neighborhoods including Oakley, Hyde Park, Madeira, and beyond. Because Norwood sits right in the middle of the Cincinnati metro, getting there from most parts of Hamilton County is straightforward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Verna's Chair work on all types of chairs, or just specific styles?
Reupholstery shops that focus on chairs typically handle a wide range of styles, from Victorian wingbacks to Danish modern armchairs. The key is the shop's ability to work with the specific construction of your chair, so it's worth describing your piece when you call.
My recliner's fabric is torn but the mechanism still works. Can it be reupholstered?
Yes, recliners can be reupholstered, though they're more complex than stationary chairs because of the mechanical parts inside. A skilled upholstery shop knows how to work around the reclining mechanism without damaging it.
How do I know if my chair's frame is still good enough to reupholster?
A solid frame is the foundation of a successful reupholstery job, and the shop will check it when you bring the piece in. Look for hardwood construction, tight joints, and no significant cracking. If the frame needs minor repairs, that work typically happens before the new fabric goes on.
Can Verna's Chair reupholster a set of dining chairs to match?
Matching a full set of dining chairs is a common project, and it's actually more efficient to do them all at once since the shop can cut fabric from the same lot and ensure consistency. Bringing all the chairs in together also helps the shop confirm they're all the same size and construction.
What fabric holds up best for a chair that gets used every day?
For high-use chairs, performance fabrics like tightly woven synthetics, treated microfiber, or genuine leather tend to outlast loosely woven naturals. The shop can guide you toward options that balance durability with the look you're going for.
Is it possible to change the style of a chair through reupholstery, not just the fabric?
To some extent, yes. Adding or removing features like button tufting, changing the cushion profile, or swapping out decorative trim can shift the visual character of a chair. Structural changes to the silhouette are limited, but the right fabric and detailing choices can significantly update a piece's look.
