What Brisbane Thinks of Elko

Real feedback from real customers, unedited.

“Elko Chair Repairs fixed my mid century dining room chairs after a different business did a shoddy job on them and made them worse. I love these chairs, I inherited them from my grandma and have been their keeper for nearly 20 years now, since my grandma passed. Elko made the chairs strong and solid again, and added new foam and webbing to the seats. They managed to do all this while re-using the vinyl covering from the previous upholsterer (the shoddy one) to keep costs down for me. I think this many be the only chair repair business in Brisbane that really knows how to do both upholstery and structural work. I am very pleased with the results!”

“A huge thank you to Nikki and the team at Elko Chairs for the fabulous job that they did on reupholstering our bedhead insert. The work is top notch & their service was fantastic. The team at Elko’s went above & beyond to deliver. Would not hesitate to recommend them & would definitely use them again.”

Karyn Matterson

“Absoultey smash it!!! Couldnt be happier, I had a heap of quotes to get my very large and heavy office chair fixed up, new straps, new foam, new base and arms. I was a little bit nervous because this chair cost me thousands when I bought it but Elko has far gone past anything I could have thought. They even fixed things I didn’t know were wrong and called me and kept me in the loop the whole way through the process, and picked up and dropped off. If i could give more then 5 stars I would!!”

Upholstery & Furniture Repair FAQs

Straight answers to the questions we hear most from Brisbane customers.

It depends on the chair’s size, the fabric or leather you choose, and how much structural work — frame, webbing, foam — is needed alongside the re-cover. Send us a couple of photos or call 1300 048 152 and we’ll put together a free, obligation-free quote.

It depends on the piece. A well-built frame — especially an inherited or higher-quality chair — is often worth reupholstering rather than replacing with a lower-quality new one, and it lets you keep a piece you already love. We’ll give you an honest opinion alongside your quote.

Upholstery work is usually quoted per job rather than by the hour, because the fabric, foam, webbing and labour involved vary so much from piece to piece. We quote based on what your furniture actually needs, not a flat hourly rate.

A couch costs more to reupholster than a single chair, simply because of the extra fabric, foam and labour involved — and the price varies with the couch’s size, shape and fabric choice. The most accurate figure comes from a free quote based on photos or a workshop visit.

We work with a wide range of fabrics and leathers, and can also work with fabric or vinyl you supply yourself — sometimes reusing existing material keeps costs down while still giving the piece a fresh, solid rebuild. Talk to us about your options when you get your quote.
