Should I Buy New or Re-upholster? Is it worth it?: Re-upholstery has 2 costs:
fabric, & labor. Labor's easy to estimate; a wingback, armchair, recliner or
sofa takes so many hours. Fabric's different: All fabrics aren't the same price.
The one you want might cost $25/yd., or $125/yd., or more. With a "discount"
fabric($10-12/yd), you might spend $500-$600 on a wingback, or armchair;
$1500-$2000 on a sofa. If those numbers seem high to you, replace, don't
re-upholster.

Do We Have to Buy Your Fabric?: No. In fact, at present, we're not selling
fabric. Our charges are for the labor & materials necessary to complete the
job. We recommend you visit EconoSales in Springfield, and B&H Upholstery
Supply in Eugene for excellent fabric selection and value.
