Upholsterers and suppliers in Bloemfontein
Upholsterers in Bloemfontein serve a city that mixes students, civil servants and old Free State families. Digs and flats in Brandwag, Universitas and Willows near the university campus turn over every year, so landlords bring couches, desk chairs and headboards for recovering in practical, dark fabrics. Older homes in Westdene, Arboretum and Waverley hold yellowwood and imbuia dining sets, wingbacks and riempie chairs worth restoring, and the courts and government offices send boardroom and office chairs in batches. Workshops and suppliers are in Hamilton and the other industrial areas, with home upholsterers in Heidedal, Mangaung and Botshabelo. Bainsvlei smallholdings bring bakkie and stoep work. Winters are cold and very dry, which cracks leather if it is not conditioned.
