Questions

Leather office chair repair NYC questions

Whole office? See office furniture services or conference room furniture.

Should I repair or reupholster my executive chair?

Repair when one or two areas are worn, like the arms or a seam. Reupholster when the leather is cracked across the seat and back, or you want a new color. We tell you which after one look.

How long does leather office chair repair NYC work take?

Most repairs are done on site in one visit. A full reupholstery takes the chair to our workshop and it comes back to the same desk.

Can you match the leather on the rest of the set?

Yes. Color and grain are matched to the chairs that stay, so a repaired chair does not stand out in the office.

Do you work on Herman Miller and Knoll chairs?

Yes, along with most other makers of leather executive and conference chairs.

Will reupholstery change how the chair works?

No. The tilt, height and swivel mechanism is not touched; only the cover and, where needed, the foam are replaced.
