A second life for furniture you love

For more than 40 years, Skippy Upholstery has helped Brooklyn homeowners refresh the pieces they live with every day. We reupholster sofas, sectionals, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, and other upholstered furniture, with fabric and finish selected around your home and how you use it. If the cover is sound but the seat feels flat, see cushion replacement and restuffing.

Each project starts with the piece itself. We look at its condition, discuss the look you want, and explain your options. The work may involve fresh fabric, new cushioning, or frame adjustments for a better fit.

To get started, send clear photos of the whole piece and any worn areas. Include the width, depth, and height, plus your location. Tell us how you use the furniture and what you would like to change. These details help us discuss the work and prepare an estimate. Include photos of the frame and cushion supports, where accessible.

The right fabric. The right feel. A careful fit.

Furniture reupholstery gives you a chance to choose a color, texture, and finish that suit your home. You can keep a familiar shape while changing how it looks and feels.

We can also address worn cushion cores and sagging seats. If the frame needs attention, we’ll discuss repairs or changes that may help the piece work better for you.
