What to know locally in Mthatha
Upholstery fabric and foam are limited in town, so ask an upholsterer to order what you need from East London or Durban and confirm a delivery date. Hard-wearing woven fabric and faux leather suit busy family homes and taxis. For DIY dining seats, a staple gun, foam and wadding go a long way. Upholstery cleaners and machine hire shops are fewer than in the metros, so book ahead for big jobs.
Upholstery work in Mthatha
New homes are going up all around Mthatha, from suburbs such as Northcrest and Fort Gale to large family homesteads in the surrounding villages, and each one needs a lounge suite, dining chairs and a bedroom set. That growth keeps upholsterers busy recovering and repairing rather than replacing furniture that has travelled long distances. The university, the academic hospital and government offices send office chairs, ward seating and boardroom chairs. Taxis are a big part of local life, so taxi bench and seat cover work is steady. Most upholsterers work from small workshops in town or from home, and fabric and foam often come from East London or Durban.
