Title: Reupholstering a couch
Post by: fatty fat fat on February 05, 2011, 07:26:50 AM

I disdain the color of my couch. How hard is this process? can the boys at hobby lobby help me out?

there are lots of people that just do furniture upholstery. They're probably really expensive in the bay, though.

I'm a firm believer in buying new furniture that looks nice, but at a low cost.  Odds are 5-10 yrs later it will be out of style anyways.  From what I've seen upholstery can cost a lot (mostly labor).  Usually not worth it unless you have a really nice antique-style piece of furniture.

F3, if it's not an antique or something close to you- it's cheaper to donate, deduct from your taxes and buy new.

Martinez in kc mo. They do a good job, but don't go there alone. There is a chance your couch will look nice, but someone will shoot you before you get a chance to see it.
