Welcome to Lasee Upholstering. Since 1951, we've strived for excellence in our craftsmanship and care of your most prized furnishings. We've built a reputation of quality and trust. Whether your chair needs a complete overhaul or you've just grown tired of the cover, we can help.

But isn't upholstering expensive? Won't it cost me less to just buy new? Yes and no. At first glance, upholstering your chair, loveseat or sofa may seem like the more expensive option, but here are some things to consider:

• Your old piece of furniture is almost positively built better than what you would buy today. Maybe you've already experienced this - you buy a new sofa or chair, sit on it a few weeks or months - maybe a year, and one day notice there is a board or something hitting you in the back. Or, you can get in but you can't get out! Or, after a few months, things are starting to sag, get loose, and maybe you're still paying for the thing....but you're extremely disappointed. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to tell what you're getting when you visit a furniture store. Note: The price of a new piece of furniture is not necessarily an indication of quality!
• Upholstered in the good ol' USA. Where was that new sofa made again?
• The quality of our fabrics is higher than the fabrics on most new furnishings. Yes, occasionally we even have customers who buy expensive, high quality furniture, and are bringing it in for reupholstering in a very short time. We use only first quality goods. Our fabrics are rated via the Wyzenbeek Double Rub Tests, so when you're selecting your fabric, attention is also paid to your intended use of the piece.
• We don't just "recover" the piece. That would seem like a given, but there are many out there that do just that - put a new cover over the old one. At Lasee's, we examine the frame, springs, and other integral parts to make sure they are in the correct position, retaining their integrity and working together to ensure a comfortable, long-lasting piece of furniture. Worn or broken parts are replaced - frames corrected, springs re-tied - whatever it needs.

We've seen some examples of two covers and sometimes even three (!) on a piece of furniture. Not only does this preclude any kind of examination of the working parts of the furniture, but it takes us twice (or three times!) as long to take the cover off! We've also seen some upholstering jobs that have been done without paying attention to the structural integrity of the furniture...a pretty cover, but the chair is sagging or wobbly. Again, a quality upholstering job is worth the money.

• When helping you choose your fabric, your needs are discussed and suggestions are made based on those needs. Our upholstering department has great product knowledge and will help you select the right fabric for your lifestyle.
• We match up your patterns perfectly! Your stripes will be straight, your plaids will meet, your florals will be beautifully aligned throughout the piece. Next time you're in a furniture store, pay attention to this - you may be in for a surprise.
• Your newly reupholstered piece will be a longer-lasting, more comfortable, higher quality piece that will become a favorite for years to come. We have lots of customers that have chairs redone to pass on to their child or grandchild. A good piece of furniture is almost always worth redoing!

So whether you need your favorite chair re-done to match your redecorating, or you've got a wonderful heirloom you treasure, bring it to Lasee's and let us transform it for you.
