I found this post on another upholsterers website. I thought it was a great way to break down the costs and time involved in reupholstering a chair such as the one shown in the picture.

I’m always asked if we can repair leather sofa’s and then I came across this article on fixing dry and cracked leather. I’m not sure how well it works but I found it interesting. Tip: Make sure the item you are looking at is actually real leather. An easy way to tell is if you look at the backside of the material. The back of real leather will feel like suede. Also, real leather generally does not peel. If it’s peeling it’s most likely vinyl or a bonded leather.
