Over 40 Years of Upholstery Craftsmanship

We believe great furniture deserves great craftsmanship. For over 40 years, Skippy Upholstery has helped bring furniture back to life through custom upholstery, restoration, and skilled workmanship.

From cherished antiques to contemporary furniture and commercial seating, we combine experience, quality materials, and an eye for detail to create pieces that feel right for their next chapter.

A Personal Approach to Every Piece

Located on 15th Avenue in Brooklyn, Skippy Upholstery is built on decades of hands-on experience and a genuine appreciation for the craft.

Led by owner Igor Skipalskiy, our workshop works with furniture of all styles and ages, from older, high-quality pieces worth preserving to newer designs ready for a fresh look.

We believe upholstery is about more than replacing fabric. It's about understanding the character of a piece, finding the right materials, and making it work beautifully for the people who use it.Whether restoring a family heirloom, updating a favorite sofa, or creating custom seating, we approach every project with care and attention to detail.

The Person Behind the Craft

I'm Igor Skipalskiy, owner of Skippy Upholstery. With decades of experience in the upholstery trade, I've had the opportunity to work with a wide range of furniture, materials, and custom projects.

What I enjoy most about this work is helping people bring their ideas to life. I love working with fabrics and colors, finding the right solution for a piece, and helping clients create furniture that reflects their home, their personality, and the way they live.

Antique furniture restoration is a particular specialty of mine, but I also enjoy the challenge of reimagining newer pieces, making custom alterations, and finding solutions for furniture that needs a little extra attention.

For me, the reward is seeing a piece renewed and knowing it can continue to be enjoyed for years to come.

Our Philosophy

Thoughtful Work, Made to Last

Preserving What Matters

We specialize in restoring older, high-quality furniture, respecting the character and construction of each piece while giving it renewed life.

The right fabric, color, shape, and finish can transform a piece. We work with our clients to customize upholstery and, when needed, alter wood frames to suit their space and needs.

From replacing worn cushion cores and repairing sagging seats to completing a full reupholstery project, we focus on the details that help furniture look and function at its best.
