I need to get a sofa re-covered and wonder if any of you have had work like this done to your satisfaction in Chiang Mai. If so where please?

Thanks in advance for helping.

Follow Changklan Rd to the river, go under Mahidol Rd highway.

Straight ahead past the infant school and on the right before you reach 7/11 you will see a shop doing lots of re-upholstery. I haven't used them, but they are always busy.

Someone else might be able to be more specific.

That's great-many thanks Uptheos. I'll look in there in the morning.

I think Lanna Cushion is a very good place: http://www.lannacushion.com/

The shop owner is Nopi. His # is 0817658933. He speaks very little English so better to go in person with photos of what you would like. His work is beautiful and he picks up and delivers.

I know he's always overflowing with work, good to know someone like this.

Are his prices competitive? (not that I know the competition's prices)

I haven't been there in a while, but there used to be a place on Hang Dong Rd., between Ring 1 & 2, on the left (going South), near the 7-11. They were doing some impressive work. Seen some places doing excellent auto upholstery work, also.

What is going rate I know it will depend on the material used but at the moment I have no idea what a fair price would be ?.

Many thanks all for your help.

Went to see Nopi this morning.Straight up guy with the usual chaotic overstuffed workroom. Saw some quality work outside and showed him photos and dimensions of the job. Sent us to Ni-run shop in tom lam yai market to choose fabric. He only wanted 1000bht to do the job but we had to take sofa too him and he reckoned 500bht a metre and thought we needed 10 metres. So we are in to 6000 baht and the sofa isnt of enough quality for that to make sense. Better to shop at Index and get free delivery. But we would definitely give Nopi a go in different circumstances.

Thanks again

Good to get through a TV thread with no abuse and some grown up people!!!!!

What will you do with the piece of furniture that you decided not to re upholster? What is it? I might be interested in it. You may pm if you wish. Kevin

Many thanks to all who offered suggestions.

Need to recover a couple of the arm rests on a Leather Lounge suite we brought from Oz when we moved back here. Will check these folks out.

Thanks again.

how do I pm you Kevin-sorry to be dumb on this....

Have a look at the clothing shops in and around Warorot Market. You could find suitable cloth for a sofa a lot less than 500 Baht per metre.
