Why Reupholster instead of buying new

WHY REUPHOLSTER INSTEAD OF BUY NEW?

We all get that feeling from time to time when our lounge suites or dining table chairs are looking worn and outdated then are faced with the decision to put out 80 kg of wood, fabric and other materials on our front lawn to add to our ever-growing landfills, so is this necessary ?

Naturally, we do not want to be wasteful.  But we may have heard that reupholstering can be expensive. This may be correct in some instances if you go out and buy cheap high volume manufactured furniture from Asia but not correct if you buy Australian and European made furniture. In most instances reupholstering can be up to 30 % cheaper than buying high quality new furniture Upholstery Repair Melbourne .  

What can justify reupholstering?  Here’s the answer: 

Most furniture built even as recently as 10 years ago was built at a time when there was a higher standard for furniture construction.  Even finer furniture manufacturers of late have had to lower their standards to keep up competition with the cut-throat, corner-cutting furniture manufacturers.  What’s going on underneath the upholstery Melbourne of newer furniture that makes it so much more inferior?

In order to offer the consumer furniture at dramatically low prices, costs are being cut.  Woods unsuitable for furniture frames are now being used they are full of knots which under pressure will break.  These frames are often poorly thrown together as quickly as possible with staple guns and fast-drying epoxy no screws or dowels or decent hardwood timber.

The old standard of using meticulously doweled joints and waiting for wood glue to dry during several re-clamping processes has been eliminated by many manufacturers as its too time consuming most imported lounge suites can be made by 4 workers in 4 hours that’s usually how long it takes for glue to dry.


Old-fashioned coil springs and heavy-duty  (no-sag) springs are being replaced with a lighter gauge of springs …and less of them per seat and poor inferior elastic webbing Good, high-density foam has gone up in price drastically over the past couple of years.  So, many Asian furniture manufacturers use low-density foam that is suitable for its showroom appearance, but may break down on the consumer after only a few months of use. Our foams we use all carry a 10 year warranty.

I hope this has made things a little more clear and assuring, cheap imported furniture will cause you future problems and large expensive repair bills .Just think your old couch is probably 15 to 30 years old and still is structurally great and no more additions to our crowded landfills now and in the future.
