Chairs spring in for restoration

OLD chairs and furniture that are worn out but still loved don’t have to be discarded.
Luke Wilson from Mount Evelyn Upholstery is the person to contact to restore them to their original state.
A master craftsman, Luke specialises in antique restoration and recovery and repairs to all types of furniture and can readily handle both old and new pieces.
“I really get a kick out of seeing someone’s smiling face when I deliver back a piece of furniture in original condition that may have been in the family for a long time,” he said.
“It’s probably the main reason I got into this business in the first place.” Luke has been fine-tuning his craft and restoring and building old and new furniture for the past 20 years.
He can strip a piece right back to the bare frame and check the structural integrity or he can re-cover, re-spring and spruce up.
“I re-dowel and re-glue if needed and have a great range of fabrics to choose from.
“I also provide free fabric protection. It really does depend on what the customer wants,” he said.
Luke offers discounts for pensioners and is happy to provide free quotes.
“Part of my service includes a no-obligation visit to a house with sample books to discuss colours and the work required.
“Alternatively, I have a free pick-up and delivery service available. I design and craft everything from lounges, chairs and sofas to ottomans, using quality materials.
“This opens the door for people who want me to create an individual or one-off piece especially for them.”
All workmanship is guaranteed by Luke.
So when quality workmanship and materials are required, along with friendly and honest service, contact Mount Evelyn Upholstery on 9737 1187 or 0402 020 554.
