Upholstery Shop Sourcing
There can be a variety
of skilled craftsmen in your area, and we want to be sure you’re hiring the
right person for your project. These are a few things to consider when shopping
for a furniture upholsterer.
- First things first, lead times.
If the upholsterer is backed up for 18 months, that’s a good thing to know
upfront.
- How do they price? This can
make a big difference in what type of furniture item you select and the
details you choose to incorporate into your upholstery project.
- What optional upgrades do they
offer? Various types of stitching, stuffing, etc.?
- Can they pick it up or deliver
it? Furniture is heavy! If this is a feature you’d appreciate having, then
ask for it.
- Are they willing to hold onto furniture
while waiting for textiles to arrive?
- What is the typical turnaround
time on a project of this size?
- Ask if they feel confident in
upholstering your textile and furniture combination.
Going into a
conversation with a craftsman when you’re not confident in this type of project
can be intimidating. We understand how important it is to armor our clients
with strong recommendations, and we hope this list helps you navigate your
local market to find the right person for your upholstery needs.
Question: How
do I find a local upholsterer?
Answer: We’re big believers in
word-of-mouth so ask around to see if anyone you know has good recommendations.
Take notes from our list above on what to look for when meeting with
upholsterers. This will help streamline the process and help you complete your
dream upholstery project with ease!
