Furniture Upholstery
Has anyone had their couches or a chair upholstered? I am looking into doing this for our current couches but don't even know where to start. TIA

Re: Furniture Upholstery
I did, it's not cheap. But if you love the piece I say go for it. I did my grandmothers chairs, unfortunatley I do not have a before, but the fabric before was gold. I used CLS in Ronkonkoma. They were awesome...
Here are the two chairs. They are over 40 years old !

Re: Furniture Upholstery
If you don't mind my asking, what is the approximate cost to do this?
I have a 50 year old chair, somewhat similiar to yours, that belonged to my grandmother. I got one quote of about $900. Is that about right? I love the chair, but I am trying to figure out if I love it enough to spend that much money on it. lol

The two chairs I had done were $1500.00.  but, to me they were worth it because of the sentimental value they held. I opted not to redo the couch she left me. It would have been just too much.
