Quality is the most common reason. Most people already own the best quality furniture they will ever buy. Many people just want a new look, a different colour or just a change of scene. But they don’t want the hassle of replacing their furniture because it fits the room and is comfortable.
Which one are you. Take a look at some typical customers
If your furniture is older than 10 years then re-upholstery makes a lot of sense.
Experience proves that furniture was better made then, as most furniture was made in this country and not imported. Typically better material was used, with solid wooden frames and good quality springs and foams.
To replace with new furniture like for like would cost a lot of money. By re-upholstering you are making an investment.
If the furniture is a branded name, then re-upholstering makes very good sense. Parker Knoll, Bridge Craft, Christie Tyler, G Plan etc are all examples of good quality furniture. You would have paid a reasonable amount of money for these pieces. They tend to last and are often very comfortable.
People often want to keep hold of furniture they may have inherited. Or they may regard their sofa or chair as a well loved friend.
Re-upholstering is particularly suited to recliners as the re-upholstery process means you can still use it as a recliner afterwards.
