Many sofas and chairs made decades ago were built with solid hardwood frames, real springs, and dense padding. Today, a lot of new furniture is made with:

• Thinner/softer wood frames
• Stapled construction vs. solid joinery
• Low-density foam that loses shape quickly
• Cheaper fabrics with short lifespan

Reupholstery invests in a piece with great bones—you keep quality instead of replacing it with something disposable.

Reupholstery keeps the feel you already love:

• Seat depth/height you’re used to
• Arm shape, back support, and overall feel
• The right scale for your room

Buying new is a gamble—what looks nice in the store may feel wrong at home.

You choose:

• Performance fabrics that fit your lifestyle (kids, pets, sunlight)
• Foam density and cushion firmness
• Trim, skirt, buttons, and stitching details

Result: stronger, better-tailored pieces than most showroom items.

Good upholstery is meticulous: remove old fabric, repair frame, retie springs, rebuild padding, fit new fabric.

Prices can match a new mid-range sofa, but with reupholstery you know exactly what’s inside your furniture.

• Reupholstery: proven frame + materials you chose
• Many new pieces: pay for looks, not structure underneath

Every reupholstered piece is one less in the landfill. You:

• Reduce waste by keeping good frames in use
• Support local craftsmanship over mass production
• Extend life of quality furniture for another decade+

Even if cost is similar to buying new, the outcome is different:

• Custom piece on a strong, proven frame
• Durable materials selected for your home and lifestyle
• Tailored design—not whatever happens to be in stock
