Repair only what broke
An upholstered chair is built in layers: wood frame, then webbing and springs, then foam, then the fabric you see. Trouble usually starts in one of them, so upholstered chair repair CT clients ask for is often far less than a full recover.
Wingbacks, club chairs and more
Antique or recent, plain or carved. Any chair built from a frame with springs, foam and fabric on top gets the same layer-by-layer look.
What you sit on, what you see
Comfort is decided beneath the fabric. Appearance is decided at the edges and in the trim.
Under the fabric
Springs and webbingA seat that has dropped is most often webbing that stretched or springs whose ties let go.
Drop-in seatsA pad that lifts out gets rebuilt on its own base board.
CushionsLoose cushions get fresh foam and a cover sewn with square corners.
Edges and trim
PipingCord sewn into the edges so every line stays sharp.
NailheadsA row of brass or nickel heads down the arm.
SkirtsTailored or pleated, hiding the legs.
Matched weltEdge cord wrapped in the chair fabric itself.
Match the tufting or pick a new one

The cushions may be all it needs
If the frame and body hold up and only the loose cushions are worn, new foam and covers for those cushions cost much less than a full job. The photos will show it, and we will tell you. Related pages: antique leather restoration and bench reupholstery.
Chair Repair Questions
Common questions before scheduling upholstered chair repair CT customers send us.
The seat has dropped but the fabric looks good. Does it need recovering?
Often not. A dropped seat usually comes from the webbing, springs or foam beneath the cover, which we can redo and then reuse your fabric.
Will the carved wood on my antique chair be safe?
It will. We protect the exposed wood while the old upholstery is stripped and the new goes on, and any loose joints can be reglued during the same job.
Which fabrics are available?
Linen, velvet, jacquard, boucle, leather and performance fabrics. Let us know how much use the chair gets and we will suggest options that will last.
Is upholstered chair repair CT residents order worth it for an old chair?
If the frame was built well, it usually is. Many older chairs have hardwood frames and hand-tied springs that deserve to be saved.
