Buying new furniture can be risky. That sofa you're yearning to buy, may very well look terrific in the showroom...but as the saying goes "Beauty is only skin deep!"

Durability is a sign of good quality. Factory upholstered furniture is less attractive and less durable than the quality reupholstered furniture a trained craftsman can produce. Your furniture frame is good quality if it has stood the test of time by holding up well to everyday use and abuse. If your furniture is structurally sound, you'd be wise to keep it and take advantage of the benefits of reupholstering.

Don't fall victim to the 90% of upholstery shops which do little more than simply "recovering." In addition to a superior exterior, a fine piece of upholstered furniture demands meticulous attention to detail on the inside -starting with the frame. Internal work is imperative and most upholsterers don't know how, or don't take the time, to do it properly.

The commitment to excellence and pride that goes into each piece sets Swann's apart from the typical upholstery shop.
