Same chair, new job

Questions

Short Hills Questions

Do you come to Short Hills?
Yes. Leather repair Short Hills NJ is done in your home, in the room the chair is in. Send photos first and we quote from them.
Can I keep working in the chair?
Most arm and colour repairs are finished in one visit. The finish needs time to cure before hard use, and we tell you how long before we start.
Is an old chair worth repairing?
If the frame is solid and most of the hide is sound, usually yes. A good frame is the hard part to replace. If the leather is splitting everywhere, we say so and quote reupholstery instead.
Do you repair desk chairs too?
Yes, leather and vinyl desk chairs as well as armchairs. See office chairs and our warranty.
Which leathers can you repair?
Most finished leathers on chairs and sofas, from aniline to pigmented, and vinyl too. Bonded leather usually cannot be repaired, and we tell you that before any work starts. See our leather types.
