Couch reupholstery · Jabavu, SowetoSave your favourite seat
Your worn-out frame has more life left in it. We strip it back, add new foam and cover it in the high-end fabric or leather you pick from our samples, with care from the first stitch to the final touch. Our workshop is on Vundla Street in Jabavu, Soweto.
If you're within a 30km radius, we collect your couch for free. Further out, collection starts at R250, depending on your location. You don't have to get your furniture to us or fetch it afterwards: when it's done, we deliver it back to your door. WhatsApp a photo of your couch to 074 019 9297, tell us your suburb and say "free collection", and we quote you.
Every photo here is one of our jobs. We take the before in your lounge. We take the after in our workshop yard, the day it's ready to go home. Drag the handle to compare.

About us
Kwanele and the team
We work from a workshop on Vundla Street in Jabavu, Soweto. Kwanele runs it, and he's the reason so many of our Google reviews end with a thank-you to him by name.
Most of what we do is couches. We also build headboards, beds, restaurant seating, kitchen units, wardrobes and TV stands, and our first Google reviews go back to 2021.
Why reupholster
The frame you've already got is usually the best-built part of the couch. Keep it and you're paying for fabric, foam and labour instead of a whole new lounge suite. And nothing goes to the dump.
“I honestly can't believe these are the same couches. They were faded, sagging, and embarrassing to have in the lounge, was ready to throw them away.”

“They came through with a fantastic selection of material samples, and I really appreciated how patient they were while I took my time going through all the options and deciding on the perfect colour. There was absolutely no pressure, and they made the whole process so easy.”

Kitchens and built-in units
Wardrobes, kitchens and TV stands
We build more than couches. Three of these photos are jobs we fitted in customers' homes: an oak kitchen, a wardrobe with a study desk and a TV wall unit. The white kitchen shows the kind of look we can build. Want one for your space? WhatsApp a photo of the room to 074 019 9297 and we'll quote you. More on kitchens, wardrobes and TV stands.
