What to know locally in Durban
Durban homes hold a lot of solid furniture worth keeping: imbuia dining chairs in Glenwood and Morningside houses, big corner lounge suites in Chatsworth and Phoenix family homes, and wingbacks in the retirement complexes of Durban North. Mouldy foam is the common complaint after a wet summer, so ask the upholsterer to strip right back to the frame rather than cover old foam. Leather couches in sea facing flats in Umhlanga often need cleaning and conditioning after salt and sun.
Upholstery work in Durban
Humidity is the upholsterer's real competition in Durban. Damp air works into foam, rusts staples and springs from the inside and leaves grey mould spots on couches in closed-up flats, so a lot of upholstery in Durban starts as a repair rather than a style change. Lounge suites in Chatsworth and Phoenix, old dining chairs on the Berea and holiday flat furniture along the beachfront all come in for new foam and covers. Most upholsterers in Durban work from Jacobs, Mobeni, Springfield and Briardene, or from home workshops in Umlazi and KwaMashu, and collect by bakkie. Ask for marine grade staples, mould resistant fabric and foam that breathes.
