Price of furniture work
The price for reupholstery, repair and new cushions depends on the specific task. Furniture type, condition, materials and work scope must be known before a price can be compared meaningfully.
Here you get an overview of what affects the quote. There is no standard price that covers both a new woven seat, a shell repair and a custom-made cushion.

| Job | The key information to provide | Read more |
|---|---|---|
| Chair reupholstery | Quantity, seat/backrest, material and upholstery condition | Chair reupholstery |
| New weaving | Model or technique, seat/back, wood condition | Prices for chair weaving |
| Repair | Damage, location, previous work and desired finish | Furniture repair |
| Made-to-measure cushions | Dimensions, shape, quantity, material and use | Made-to-measure cushions |
| New cushion covers | Existing cushions, reuse of filling, seams | Reupholstering cushions |
This should be clear from your quote
Clarify which materials are included and which parts of the furniture are treated. An agreement for a new cover does not automatically include new foam. New weaving does not automatically include sanding or repair of the frame.
For cushions, the agreed price must relate to dimensions, quantity and specification. For several pieces of furniture, it should be clear whether the jobs within the set are the same or different. Any transport, removal and refitting should be described separately so the total price is understandable.
As a private customer, you must be able to see the amount you have to pay, with clear information about VAT and any additional charges. Ask for clarification if a quote or a change is unclear before you accept it.
When photos are not enough
Images provide a good basis for the initial dialogue. Hidden damage, previous gluing, or the upholstery's internal construction may require a physical inspection. Disclose known conditions from the start and agree on how any changes to the scope are handled.
You should also mention special wishes: preserving patina, matching other chairs, a particular fabric sample or a preferred date. A preferred date is not a confirmed delivery date.
