If a sofa or chair is in good shape on the inside and all it needs is a fresh new fabric, that is called "Recovering". When a piece needs work on the inside, either partially or totally (new webbing, new springs, new fillings, that is called "Re-upholstering".

Re-upholstery or restoration is one of the few professions in the domain of the hand skills that is alive and well. So, if you have a lumpy old sofa or a frayed chair that is beginning to shed its stuffing, take another look before dismissing it as a "has been". It could be the beginning of a beautiful new piece. This recycling of quality furniture will bring much pleasure in seeing a fashionable new piece bounce back out of the old one.

Before starting a piece of furniture, we move it around to check for "motion" in the joints. For example, if a sofa has weak arms, some will not work on it. "Yewberry", who regulary do frame work as part of the total job, will put the arms solidly back to how it belongs, replace any support pieces that are loose or missing and put the frame back into mint condition.
