New fabric. Same furniture. Fraction of the cost.
Professional reupholstery restores worn commercial furniture to like-new condition — new fabric, fresh foam, and a look that matches your space. At 40–60% the cost of buying new.

Cost Savings
A Steelcase Leap costs ~$1,200 new. Reupholstering one costs $200–$350. Multiply by 100 chairs and you've saved $85,000+.
Sustainability
Reupholstery uses 80% less material than manufacturing new. Keep quality frames out of landfills and reduce your environmental footprint.
Design Refresh
Update your color palette without replacing furniture. Match new hires' stations to your current aesthetic, or rebrand an entire floor.
When reupholstery isn't the right call
- → Mechanism failure: If the chair's tilt, gas cylinder, or lumbar mechanism is broken and the chair is 10+ years old, replacement parts may be unavailable or not cost-effective.
- → Frame damage: Cracked plastic shells, bent metal frames, or broken bases can't be fixed with fabric. These chairs need replacement.
- → Cost threshold: If reupholstery exceeds 60% of the new purchase price, buying new usually makes more sense — you get updated ergonomics and a full warranty.
- → Obsolete models: Very old panel systems or chairs from discontinued brands may not be worth investing in if parts and replacement fabric aren't available.
