Below are pictures of some of the chairs and suites we have
re-upholstered over the years.
Many are showing the before and after.

We re-upholster chairs and suites in Fabrics from
Romo,
Kirkby House,
John Brown, Ross, Sherwood, Mode, Villa Nova,
Isle of Bute, Wemyss.

Our fabrics are chosen for wearability and cleanability.

Many come with a stain resistant finish as standard and others can have a stain resistant finish applied at the manufacture.

Doctor, Dentist and Chiropractic benches can be
re-upholstered in a special vinyl designed for the
health care sector.
See Medical and Leisure page for details.
