Q? Where can I get good quality upholstery fabric?
A: Sturdy Stitching Upholstery carries Robert Allen, Duralee, Kravet, Sunbrella, Crypton, Barrow, Norbar,
Q Collection, Anzea, Calvin, Garrett Leather, Roden Leather, Goliger Leather and Anthem Leather.
Samples books can be checked out to view in your own environment.
(You may provide your own fabric with a 40% cutting fee upcharge on the upholstery labor)
It will be helpful to have an idea of a basic color as most sample books are grouped by color.
Q? Is my furniture worth upholstering?
A: Do your best to determine your frame and spring configuration. Peel back a corner of the bottom
dust cover and see if the frame is a solid hardwood with glued and doweled joints.
(NOT particle board or plywood with stapled joints).
Coil springs that have been eight-way tied are desirable but no-sag springs are a fine way to
support furniture if they are narrow and adequately spaced.
Q? What are your hours?
A: Tuesday through Friday
9:00am to 5:30pm
Q? How do I get a rough estimate for the cost of re-upholstering my furniture?
