David SowleComplete Step-by-Step Upholstery (IMM Lifestyle Books) 15 Projects from Seats to a Chesterfield Sofa; Techniques including Stripping Furniture, Webbing, Tying Springs, Stuffing, & Making Cutting Plans

Clear instructions on a variety of furniture pieces. Even an example of replacing a cane seat on an antique chair.

The book arrived promptly and in great shape (5 stars for the sellers)The 4 stars is for the book content. I wish the book was more user friendly, if it wasn't for all the pics, I would be completely lost.

I bought a copy of this book for my daughter and her husband because they want to re-upholster some of their furniture. I liked the book so much that I ordered one for myself so I can re-upholster some furniture also. I haven't actually used it yet but the instructions look clear and easy to follow.

This book really helps to clarify how to do an upholstery job. I haven't started my project yet, however look forward to this project now that I have a good idea of where to begin and what to expect.

Fabulous book for anyone starting out as an upholsterer. Precise instructions and detailed colour pictures make almost any upholstery project easy and manageable. Whether you are a total beginner or a little bit more advanced this is the book to get. It's so good that it's tricky to even get a copy so get it while you can!

Fairly informative and nice clear pictures

great book to use to fix furniture.

This book was good to flip through as far as getting a basic idea of how to upholster & to learn a few tricks. I didn't find it as helpful as some other really detailed books though. It was worth a read, but not something I'm keeping in my permanent library to reference again. The upholstery types are outdated and not classic outdated, just old outdated. (Not old enough yet to be "cool.")

Good book to have in your upholstery workshop. However not very interesting if you are interested in modern upholstery, which is my case. Nevertheless a good guide to have in order to get to know what the art of upholstery used to be like!

This is a very comprehensive manual for both amature and more experienced upholsterers alike.It gives a comprehensive list of tools and also shows in detail basic skills. It then goes on to demonstrate a number of projects. On some of the projects it can be a little short on explanation for the less experienced worker, but usually refers you back to the basic skill section if you are in doubt.All in all it is a very useful book, a must for the occasional upholsterer who needs to brush up their skills and remind themselves of any points they may have forgotten.

I'm new to upholstering and bought this book to guide me through my first project, a winged arm chair.I found this book very helpful. The photographs fill the gaps in the text very well. The projects in the book are all very relevant in that they are for items most people have or want, rather that all the arty stuff you often get in books. My only critism is that being my first project, I would have liked just a bit more detail at times. I got there in the end, but some stages took a bit more working out than others!

Good book have learnt a lot from it although I haven't yet completed my upholstery task.

....useful volume for reference and instructions on “how to”.Helpful for someone attempting techniques at home.
