Re-upholstery
Re-upholstery at Conklin’s means more than just replacing worn fabric. Our re-upholstery departments are comprised of professional craftsman who take the time to revitalize the entire appearance of the chair or panel system. We have two different re-upholstery departments:
· Seating
· Panel Systems
Seating
As a customer, re-upholstery gives you the opportunity to pick new fabrics from Conklin’s extensive offerings or provide one of your own choosing. Some of our chair fabric offerings include: CF Stinson, Burch Fabrics, Absecon, and Douglas.
During the re-upholstery process, many factors are analyzed to be sure that the chair meets Conklin’s high standards of quality. Depending on the style of seating, the following areas may be inspected: the frame, springs, padding, all pneumatic adjustments, and the casters. Any chair with a wood frame can be sent to our wood-refinishing department for touch up or a complete finish change; chairs with plastic or metal frames can be refinished by our painting department. The padding is replaced, and the new material is custom sewn to fit the chair. Lastly we double check the chairs’ pneumatic functions and casters to be sure we are delivering a quality product.
By offering these services, Conklin’s allows their customers the ability to match their new purchase with existing furniture or building parameters. Once the services are completed and quality control has inspected the piece, Conklin’s has produced a chair that looks and performs like new; however, offers substantial savings off of list pricing.
Panel Systems
Our second re-upholstery department is responsible for refurbishing panels. We specialize in refurbished Steelcase, Herman Miller, and Knoll. However, we are able to refurb many other manufacturers as well.
Throughout the re-upholstery process, trim is removed and repainted and the panels are resurfaced. At completion the entire appearance of the system has been updated with fabric and trim color of your choice. Some of our current panel fabric providers include: CF Stinson, Guilford of Maine, and Burch Fabrics.
In addition to selling used office furniture, Conklin’s also offers refinishing of product that their clients currently own. If you are looking to update an office, Conklin’s is able to pick up your existing chairs and panels and return them with a whole new look! Our re-upholstery departments are located at 56 Canal Street in Holyoke, MA. Please feel free to come in and check out our used office furniture refurbishing processes.
