What to know locally in Kimberley
Farm bakkies from around Ritchie and Barkly West come in with sun-cracked seats and need canvas covers. Government offices, the hospital and clinics send office chairs and treatment couches for recovering. Guesthouses in the old suburbs ask for dining chairs and lounge seating to suit the period of the house, and churches in Galeshewe need padded chairs and pew cushions recovered.
Upholsterers and suppliers in Kimberley
Kimberley's diamond rush left behind a town of old houses, and their furniture is the most interesting upholstery work for many kilometres. Victorian and Edwardian homes in Belgravia and Beaconsfield, with corrugated iron roofs and wide stoeps, still hold horsehair-stuffed armchairs, button-back chaises and dining sets on ball and claw feet that need careful restoration rather than a quick recover. Hadison Park and the newer suburbs bring lounge suites and headboards, Galeshewe and Roodepan have home upholsterers recovering couches, and farms out towards Ritchie and Barkly West send bakkie seats and stoep benches. Workshops are few, so fabric and foam often come from Bloemfontein or Johannesburg. The dry heat and dust are hard on leather and fabric.
The requests we see from Kimberley usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: the family sedan whose driver's bolster has cracked from years of climbing in and out
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: dealers reconditioning leather seats before a used vehicle goes onto the floor
- Restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and lodges: chauffeur and lodge vehicles with leather seats that must look right for guests
Local tips for Kimberley
Common here: antique armchairs and chaises, lounge suites, bakkie seats and stoep benches. Ask each workshop about this: for antiques, ask whether the upholsterer keeps the original stuffing where possible. Where they work from: workshops in the town centre and industrial area, home upholsterers in Galeshewe.
Leather Car Seat Repair usually suits leather, vinyl and faux leather car seats. The job: clean, fill, recolour, restitch or new panel. For homeowners and tenants, the biggest group here, that usually means the family sedan whose driver's bolster has cracked from years of climbing in and out. On the climate side: hot, dry summers and dust crack leather and fade fabric; cold winter nights.
