If you have a solid wood frame preferably hand made then yes it’s probably worth the extra expense.
We had ours done 12 years ago, the sofas had cost us about 5K 25 years ago and were hand made in the UK so we felt it was worth the expense.

Wondering if any of you have had experience of getting an existing suite reupholstered with a well known company which frequently advertises in newspapers and in flyers within them and magazines. We are interested in doing so to save our existing one going to landfill (it’s damaged due to cats scratching) or buying replacements. It would be cheaper to buy new from the quote we have had. I would be interested to hear others thoughts and experiences.
