Yes, reupholstering high-quality furniture is almost always worth the investment. Older and antique furniture pieces typically feature solid hardwood frames, heavy-gauge steel springs, and superior joinery that far exceed the build quality of modern, mass-produced furniture.

Re-upholstering allows you to retain a durable, perfectly fitting frame while completely customizing the fabric type, cushion density, tufting, and color. At Rainbow Upholstery, our master craftsmen inspect the frame, repair webbing and springs, and install premium materials, giving your original piece another 20+ years of life at a fraction of the cost of purchasing brand-new furniture of comparable structural quality.

Plus you get to keep the same look and energy that’s been working for you!
