How does the upholstery process work?
Getting your favourite furniture re-upholstered is easy and convenient:
- Email us (james@jbu.co.nz) a photograph of the item you’d like upholstered, and some details of the type of work you’d like done.
- You'll then receive a written estimate via email for the work.
- We can direct you to recommended fabric houses in Auckland where you can select your upholstery fabric – or else you’re welcome to supply your own fabric.
- Once you’ve approved our estimate, we'll arrange the furniture to be picked up from your home.
- JBU will then purchase the fabric on your behalf, to make sure that the quantity is correct.
- The upholstery work begins - and if we spot any problems, such as broken springs, now's a good time to get that fixed too. JBU can organise it all on your behalf, as we have trusted and reliable suppliers who will do this work to meet your high standards.
- When the furniture is ready, JBU will deliver it back to your home.
