Welkom notes on furniture reupholstery
Mine houses in Welkom, Riebeeckstad and Virginia often hold heavy lounge suites and wingbacks from the mining years with hardwood frames that only need new springs, webbing and foam. Dining chairs with drop-in seats are a common Saturday job. In Thabong, home upholsterers recover couches in durable fabrics and usually collect with a bakkie, and families often bring a headboard at the same time.
Upholstery work in Welkom
Welkom was planned as a gold mining town, with wide streets, traffic circles and rows of mine houses, and many of those houses are now owned by families who have lived in them for decades. That means plenty of solid lounge suites, dining sets and wingbacks from the mining years that are worth recovering rather than replacing. Riebeeckstad and the older suburbs bring this kind of work, while Thabong has home upholsterers and a busy taxi trade. Mine vehicles and contractor bakkies from around Odendaalsrus and Virginia need seats rebuilt and covers fitted. Workshops sit in the industrial area and near the CBD. Dust from the mine dumps and dry winters are hard on fabric and leather.
Who asks for upholstery and reupholstery around Welkom, most often first:
- Homeowners and tenants: a tired lounge suite, a family armchair, dining chairs or a headboard given a new cover
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: car, bakkie and taxi seats handled by motor trimmers rather than furniture upholsterers
- Upholsterers, makers, designers and DIYers: interior designers and furniture dealers sending frames out for recovering before resale
