We, at Schlager Upholstery, hope that these frequently asked questions and answers help you to
make the best possible decision regarding your upholstering needs.
Please feel free to fill out
our advice inquiry form regarding additional questions and / or information about a custom upholstery-related project.
Why should I have my furniture upholstered?
You’ll retain a valuable piece of quality furniture. Why would anyone want to spend
more money on furniture of inferior quality to that of what you already own? Remember,
older pieces of furniture were all made with hardwood frames and utilized wood dowels
and glue joints---not pressed wood chips and stapled joints!
How long does it take to have my furniture upholstered?
Once your chosen fabric arrives at Schlager Upholstery, the actual production time varies
according to the number of pieces involved and the time of year. On average, twenty (20)
working days are needed to complete a custom upholstered piece.
Which fabric is best for my furniture?
The choice of fabric is up to your individual taste, the type / extent of usage that the
furniture will receive, and the exposure to sunlight that the fabric will receive.
When is the best time to have my furniture upholstered?
We will work around your schedule. Many clients have their furniture upholstered while
they are on holiday, so that when they return, they will come home to a refreshed home.

We will pick-up and deliver your furniture based on your availability--- free of charge.
Can I just have my furniture repaired?
Of-course you can! We completely repair your furniture to its original condition.
In today’s world, more and more folks are down-sizing their sofas when they move
relocate in smaller , more efficient living quarters.

mechanism unit free of charge. You pay installation charges plus pick-up and delivery
