What to know locally in Middelburg
Many Aerorand and Kanonkop families have a solid wood dining set with fabric seat pads that have gone shiny and thin, an easy job to bring in on a Saturday. Older homes near the town centre still hold imbuia display cabinets and wingbacks worth a proper restoration. On farms towards Belfast and Hendrina, riempie chairs and benches need new thong seats, and few local workshops do that, so ask before you load the bakkie.
Middelburg: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Steady family homes give Middelburg its upholstery work. Aerorand, Kanonkop and Eastdene are full of three-bedroom houses with a lounge suite, a dining set and a TV room couch that have done ten years and still have good frames, and the steel works and nearby collieries keep salaries regular enough that people recover rather than throw out. Mhluzi has its own home upholsterers who take couches in by bakkie and return them the same week when the foam is in stock. The farms towards Belfast and Hendrina send old riempie benches and stoep chairs, and weekenders at Loskop Dam want boat cushions redone before summer. Winters are dry and cold, so leather needs conditioning before it cracks.
