Upholsterers and suppliers in Rustenburg
Platinum mining runs Rustenburg, and you can see it in the upholstery work. Mine fleets bring in personnel carriers, service bakkies and shuttle buses with seats worn through by overalls and dust, and the trimmers along the industrial roads off the N4 quote them in sets. Mine housing and the newer estates around Waterfall East, Cashan and Geelhoutpark keep upholsterers busy with lounge suites that came with the move, and Boitekong, Tlhabane and Phokeng have home workshops that recover couches and make cushion covers. Lodges towards the Pilanesberg and the Magaliesberg send patio and dining seating. Hot, dry summers and red dust are hard on fabric, so ask for a darker, tightly woven cover on anything used daily.
