Many consumers believe re-upholstery is a superficial affair. And that all it involves is putting new fabric on an old sofa or chair. To the contrary, re-upholstery is an inside out; bottom to top job and it can transform an old piece into a real beauty. If your old sofa or chair has a nice frame, it's well worth re-upholstering. A frame is the essential element in the structure, and if it's solid there's no point going out and buying a new one. So, what's a nice frame? One that is made of hardwood, oak, or maple.
