Four Places Recliners Wear

Furniture repair Whitestone visits on recliners check all four, with the chair fully open. The two hidden ones are usually worse, because nobody has looked at them in years.

Common Questions

Can the footrest leather be fixed alone?
Yes. It is its own panel, so it can be repaired or replaced alone and matched to the rest.
Do you fix power recliners?
The leather, padding and frame, yes. Motor faults go to the maker, and we tell you which is which.
Does the chair leave the house?
Rarely. Panels are unclipped and repaired in the room, usually in one visit.
Will the colors match?
Yes, blended across all panels so the repaired ones do not stand out.
Is the visit free?
Yes, with a written quote.
Fabric recliners too?
Yes. See fabric and vinyl. All services.
