Some years ago a high end furniture store was going out of business and I picked up a very nice leather Flexsteel couch that was a floor model and steeply discounted. It a perfect size for my smaller house, especially compared with the huge overstuffed styles the stores seem to carry. Now, years later, the seat cushions have lost some of their finish and might be sagging a bit, however everything else is fine as best I can tell. I have been wondering about having just the seat cushions reworked and re-upholstered. I suspect leather could be pricey, but I don't think a quality fabric on just the cushions would look out of place with the rest of the leather couch? My brief google lookup seemed to think re-upholstering was be a good choice and quality furniture is hard to find these days.
I'm out of my field of experience here. Any similar experience or advice? It seems like anything involving skilled manual labor is expensive these days.
