Admin October 08, 2026
The Hongkou office chair reupholstery service can effectively solve problems such as wear and tear, fading, and difficulty in cleaning stains on office chairs, extending their service life. It is necessary to choose the appropriate fabric according to needs and follow standardized procedures for operation.

Reasons for Reupholstery
After prolonged use, the fabric of office chairs is prone to wear and tear, which affects their appearance and user experience. Moreover, they are easily stained, and regular cleaning often fails to remove these stains completely. Reupholstery can thoroughly solve these problems, giving the office chairs a brand-new look.
Fabric Selection
- Leather fabric: Durable and easy to clean, suitable for office environments with high hygiene requirements, such as hospitals and laboratories.
- Fabric: Soft and comfortable, providing a warm feeling, suitable for creative and design-oriented office spaces, creating a relaxed atmosphere.
- Mesh fabric: Good breathability, making it less likely to feel stuffy during long periods of sitting, suitable for office scenarios that require prolonged sitting.
- Velvet fabric: Soft to the touch but prone to attracting dust, requiring regular cleaning, suitable for places with high comfort requirements and relatively clean environments.
- Leather (faux leather): Easy to clean but with slightly poorer breathability, can be chosen according to actual needs. It is recommended to choose fabrics that are durable, breathable, and have a certain degree of elasticity, such as polyester mesh or faux leather fabric. Avoid using fabrics that are too lightweight or slippery to prevent deformation later.
Reupholstery Process
- Preparation: Prepare tools such as a cross-head screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver, scissors, hammer, strong double-sided tape, or hot-melt adhesive. Measure the dimensions of each part of the chair seat in advance and leave a margin of 5 - 8 centimeters on the fabric.
- Disassembly and Separation of the Chair Seat and Frame: Turn the chair upside down, pry open the center cover of the base, unscrew the fixing screws, separate the base and the chair seat, and then carefully remove the chair back.
- Removal of the Old Fabric and Cutting of the New Fabric: Remove the fixing nails or clips of the old fabric, use the old fabric as a template to cut the new fabric. If the old fabric is severely deformed, measure the precise dimensions with a tape measure and then cut.
- Installation and Fixing: Cover the new fabric over the foam of the chair seat, fix the edges with a pneumatic stapler or hand stitching. Ensure the tension is even, pulling the seat cushion tightly from the center to theๅๅจ. Pay attention to the elasticity and extensibility of leather fabrics.
- Finishing and Inspection: Trim the excess fabric, deal with nail holes or glue marks, and check whether each corner fits tightly.
