Hamburger Hypersonic January 8, 2013 Share January 8, 2013 anyone tried this on their sofa?? Price and worthwhile? provided the sofa is still in good condition except for some tear and dryness. And also, like car, change colour to have a bit of new taste ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like mine.....10 years still the sofa looks good. I think you didnt do that........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman888 Moderator January 8, 2013 Share January 8, 2013 lets say if a new set cost 2k and re upholster it cost slightly less than half, good to go? get a fabric type, can change pattern very year or two base on Fengshui master advice, if your sofa current color crash in 2013 leather you stick to it for years, forever if you maintain it too well [laugh] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockngbrd Supersonic January 8, 2013 Share January 8, 2013 (edited) please elaborate the disappointment leh...the cost too i fergot the costs, i think 800+ thereabouts. (For 1x 3 seat sofa, no measuring involved because we provided them the original upholstery, just copy only) disappointments? delay after delay after delay after delay, then when finally get the covers, fitment all wrong, ask them to make with leeway and extra length, end product came back smaller then the samples we provided. had to send back 2-3 times to rectify. too much trouble, too much hassle, zero customer service. end up take over 3 months to get it done and still not done properly.

Mockngbrd Supersonic January 8, 2013 Share January 8, 2013 you mean they dont bring back the sofa to factory to retrofit?? paisey if it sounds like a stupid question. no, because our original sofa the covers are removable, so we just passed it to them to do a 1-1 copy with the only instruction being, make the covers larger because our old one shrunk due to improper washing. in the end came back smaller...
