beau thai Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptheos Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His work is beautiful and he picks up and delivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not that I know the competition's prices) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thighlander Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgprg Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 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 ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beau thai Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 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!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcore Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrens54 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 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.

You could find suitable cloth for a sofa a lot less than 500 Baht per metre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
