Six stages between the frame and the finished seat.
No five-star testimonial block. The work either holds up at year ten or it doesn't. Here's what is between your fabric and your floor.
- 01
Frame inspection
The piece comes apart down to the frame. Joinery, dowels, glue blocks, and corner braces are checked for splits and rot. Kiln-dried hardwood remains; soft pine gets replaced.
Hammer · chisel · square - 02
Spring tie
Coil springs are reset on a fresh jute or polypropylene base webbing. Eight-way hand-tying on premium work; four-way on production seating.
9-gauge coils · jute webbing - 03
Burlap & edge roll
Springs are capped with 10oz burlap. A horsehair or cotton edge roll defines the seat lip and protects the foam edge from rolling under load.
10oz burlap · cotton roll - 04
Foam shape
Cushion cores are cut from 1.8 lb high-density polyurethane foam and wrapped in 4oz dacron. Down wrap on request. Cushions are shaped to the new fabric width.
1.8 lb HD foam · 4oz dacron - 05
Decking
A muslin deck is fitted under loose cushions to hide foam joints and protect the spring set. Tightback construction skips the deck and goes muslin-on-springs.
10oz muslin · cambric - 06
Welt & fit
Welt cord is sewn from the customer's fabric; the cover is dry-fit, marked, sewn, and pulled onto the frame in panels. Final upholstery tacks where the customer can't see them.
