How is the sofa frame made?

Posted on by Helen

“How is the sofa frame made?”

If you are looking to INVEST in a top notch, quality sofa, then this is the one crucial question you should ask the seller.

Upholsterers in London, Hill Upholstery & Design - How is the sofa frame made

This is because it is the quality of the frame that generally dictates the longevity of the furniture.

A well-made, good quality sofa or chair should have a frame made from solid hardwood – ideally beech – with joints that are screwed, glued and dowelled.

Here’s a few examples of suites we have made which all include top notch materials and are built as described above.

Behind the scenes

Posted on by Helen

If you haven’t noticed already we love taking photos of the work we do and showing you want goes on behind the scenes.

We love showing them off on our website to give you an idea of the talented team we have here. Sometimes we turn the camera mode onto video and hope for the best – they may not be as professional as we’d like, but what the heck, they show you what we are actually doing and how we do it.

If we’ve whet your appetite, then grab yourself a cup of tea or whatever floats your boat and take a look at our You Tube channel by clicking on the following link to take you to our most recent work making a custom made headboard made for one of our Shenfield clients.

Restaurants Seating

Posted on by Helen

Restaurants Seating Cucina Hill UpholsteryI (Helen) had an excuse this week to admire the restaurants seating work we did for Italian restaurant Cucina in my lovely home town of Leigh on sea, Essex.

In July & August this year, our talented master upholsterers transformed the restaurants seating as part of their refurbishment. Lots of lovely soft blue & cool grey shades featured in the fluted seating which work great with the new copper lighting and accessories – bellissimo!

It was the perfect place to unwind after a very busy week.

You can see more images of the finished look on our case study or even better…book a table – the food is to die for!
