Reupholstery can be worth the time and money

I've struggled with the question many times: Trash or reupholster?

Whether it is a favorite chair from Aunt Agnes that just doesn't fit the color palette of my sun room or the beautiful leather-covered chaise I spot at an auction that is riddled with tears and cracks the question pops up: Is it worth the price to recover these beautiful pieces or am I better off just buying a new one?

Your dealer for the best furniture Chicago offers can help. Walter E. Smithe furniture has a professional staff of designers who can help you choose the best upholstery choice for your "salvaged" piece or let you know when it's time to let it go. In that case, they can help you find a new piece you will love just as much or even custom design for your space.

Reupholstering can be a money-saving alternative to buying a new piece, but that depends on the condition of the frame and the type of material used to cover it. In most cases we want to recover a piece for sentimental reasons. Sometimes, though, it's just a unique piece or an antique that can't be easily replaced with a new piece.

Furniture retailers in Chicago offer a wide variety of services when it comes to reupholstery. When recovering a piece, it must be stripped down to the frame and the frame must be checked for strength. If it is lacking, a talented furniture maker may be able to rebuild it, but that may cost more than the customer wants to invest.

Cleaning or refinishing the wood may be necessary and then sometimes new springs are needed before new padding and fabric can be put on. Buyers of the best furniture Chicago provides have to decide whether the reupholstery is worth the time and money. Again, if the frame is in good shape and the piece means a lot to you, it's probably worth it.

Almost anything can be fixed or replaced if you're willing to pay the price. Customers of furniture retailers Chicago have many options in fixing or replacing their furniture pieces and Walter E. Smithe has a staff who can help evaluate and offer creative solutions to restoring or replacing a favorite piece.

One of the most important things in deciding to reupholster in knowing what the revamped piece will look like. It's not always what you would imagine. But the staff at Walter E. Smithe furniture can help you picture what your piece will look like when finished and make sure it fits into your dcor.

But new or restored, you won't be disappointed with the quality of service or the products from your favorite furniture retailer whether you are buying a new piece off the showroom floor or having something custom designed.
