This only makes sense when upholsterers dont cost more than buying an entirely new sofa. My family used to reupholster furniture every 5 years and it was cheap because my mother had an interior design firm and got very good rates.

I tried the same here in the US with some high end Scandinavian furniture ($5k), the quote was up to 1x what I originally paid. In the end it made sense to just buy new again.

The cost of labor of where you reside has a significant effect on whether you purchase another 'junk' piece of furniture.
