George notes on furniture reupholstery
Retirement estates and older suburbs in George hold wingbacks, recliners and dining sets that people value, and recovering them is often worth it. Heatherlands, Blanco and King George Park homes send couches for new foam and fabric. Families in Pacaltsdorp and Thembalethu recover lounge suites and headboards. In the damp climate, ask for mould-resistant fabric and a foam check, since foam can hold moisture.
Upholstery work in George
Retirees who moved to the Garden Route with their best furniture keep upholsterers in George well booked. Wingbacks, recliners and dining sets from homes in Heatherlands, King George Park and the golf estates come in for new foam and fabric, and many people choose to recover pieces they brought from elsewhere. Holiday houses in Wilderness and Herold's Bay need outdoor cushions and tough covers, while boats on the Knysna lagoon and at Mossel Bay harbour need marine vinyl. Farms on the Outeniqua slopes send bakkie and tractor seats. Families in Pacaltsdorp and Thembalethu recover lounge suites. Rain falls in every season, so mould and damp foam are frequent problems.
Typical furniture restoration requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a family heirloom chair, an imbuia dining set or a riempie bench restored and recovered
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: timber trim and seats from a classic car or an old ox wagon bench restored
- Clinics, salons, spas and gyms: heritage furniture in an old hospital boardroom or a doctor's historic rooms restored
