Furniture reupholstery in Cape Town: local notes
Victorian semis in Woodstock, Observatory and Wynberg hold button-back chairs, chaises and riempie benches, while Pinelands and Rondebosch homes have mid-century armchairs that suit a modern fabric. Constantia and Bishopscourt families restore Cape Dutch chairs and yellowwood pieces. In Mitchells Plain, Athlone and Khayelitsha, recovering a solid lounge suite or adding a headboard is common. Damp southern suburbs winters can leave mould under cushions, so ask for a frame and foam check.
