What to know locally in Upington
Farmhouses at Kanoneiland, Louisvale and Keimoes have solid dining sets and riempie benches that need new thong seats or cushions after years on the stoep. In town, leather couches near big windows often need recolouring and conditioning because the sun dries them out. In Paballelo, home upholsterers recover lounge suites with new foam and a fabric that hides dust well.
Upholstery work in Upington
Summer heat in Upington does things to upholstery that coastal towns never see. Foam goes brittle in parked cars, vinyl splits on bakkie seats, and leather couches near a north-facing window fade and crack within a few seasons. Along the Orange River, the grape and raisin farms at Kanoneiland, Louisvale, Keimoes and Kakamas send tractor and bakkie seats, stoep benches and farmhouse dining chairs, and 4x4s and caravans heading for the Kgalagadi need seat covers and cushions that can take dust. Paballelo has home upholsterers, and workshops in town do furniture and motor trimming side by side. Upington is a long drive from any metro, so fabric and foam are often ordered and couriered, and a quote may include waiting time.
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
- Boats, caravans and 4x4s: teak deck chairs, a yacht's saloon furniture or a lodge's old campaign chairs restored
- Upholsterers, makers, designers and DIYers: antique dealers and auction houses having pieces restored before they go to sale
