Chair Reupholstery in New York City
Chair reupholstery in New York City for dining chairs, armchairs, wingbacks, club chairs, bar stools and office chairs, with pickup and delivery in all five boroughs. NYC Reupholstery replaces the padding, rebuilds the seat and fits new fabric or leather, whether you have a single inherited wingback or a set of eight dining chairs that no longer match. Chairs wear out faster than anything else in a New York home because they are pulled out, sat on and leaned back in all day, but the frames are usually fine. More than 25 years of recovering chairs for apartments, restaurants and offices means we quote sets per chair and often finish drop-in dining seats in one visit. Text a photo and a chair count to (914) 449-4334 for a same day quote.

When to call for chair reupholstery
- Seat foam has compressed so the frame edge digs into the back of your legs
- Fabric is torn, stained or worn shiny on the seat front and arms
- One or two chairs in a set no longer match the rest
- The chair is a good frame, vintage or inherited, in the wrong fabric
- Office chairs look tired and clients are starting to notice
- Dining chairs need a wipe-clean fabric because of kids or pets
Chair Reupholstery in New York City, done properly
Chairs take more abuse than any other piece of furniture in a New York home. Dining chairs in a Park Slope kitchen get pulled out forty times a day. The club chair by the window in a Riverdale apartment is where the dog sleeps. The office chairs in a Midtown suite have ten years of commuters in them. The frames are usually fine. The seats, padding and fabric are what wear out, and those are exactly what we replace.
Dining chair reupholstery is often the fastest job we do. Drop-in seats come out with four screws, get new foam, new fabric and a fresh dust cover, and go back in the same day for a set of six. Fully upholstered chairs with tight seats, tufted backs or spring seats are a workshop job, and we pick them up and deliver them like any other piece.
We recover armchairs, wingbacks, club chairs, slipper chairs, barrel chairs, bergères, mid-century lounge chairs, bamboo and rattan chairs, bar stools and counter stools, and office task chairs. Choose your own fabric or pick from our books. For restaurants and salons we work in commercial grade vinyl and performance fabric that survives daily cleaning.

Chair Reupholstery questions from New York customers
How much does it cost to reupholster a chair in NYC?
It depends on the chair. A drop-in dining seat is a small job, a fully upholstered dining chair is more, and armchairs and wingbacks are priced by their tufting, springs and skirts. Sets are quoted per chair and cost less per piece than a single. Text a photo and a count to (914) 449-4334 for a written quote.
Can you reupholster dining chairs while I wait?
Often, yes. Drop-in seats that unscrew from the frame can be recovered in one visit when the fabric is in hand. Chairs with tight seats, springs or tufted backs go to the workshop and come back in one to three weeks.
What fabric holds up best for dining chairs with kids and pets?
Performance weaves such as Crypton and solution dyed acrylics, and commercial vinyl for high spill areas. They wipe clean, resist pet claws better than loose weaves, and come in enough colors that nobody can tell they are performance fabric.
Do you reupholster office chairs?
Yes, for both home offices and commercial suites. We recover task chairs, executive chairs and conference seating on site or in the workshop, in batches so a Manhattan office is never without seating. See our commercial upholstery page for volume work.
Can you fix a wobbly chair before recovering it?
Yes. Every chair gets its joints checked while the cover is off. Loose joints are reglued and clamped, broken legs and stretchers are repaired or replaced by our furniture repair shop, and springs are retied before the new cover goes on.
