Cost to Refinish A Dining Set

Posted by jhconklin on May 7, 2011 at 6:40 PM

How much does it cost to refinish and upholster a dining set?  This French provincial inspired setting dating around the 1940's needed some attention.  The original finish had faded to a sallow orange color which was not at all in keeping with the owner's other decor.  The upholstery was stained and some of the panels had fallen out.  And then there was the faded rose vine pattern.  The breakfront had loose veneers on the upper and lower doors, which had also warped into not closing.

The owner desired a more nutmeg color to coordinate with the furniture he had in the adjoining living room.  He also wanted the fabric to bring the set into a more contemporary feel while remaining tasteful.  After repairs and removing the old finish, the set was dye stained a golden brown.  After the sealer it was glazed with van dyke brown and topped with satin lacquer.  The fabric was a faux ostrich hide.
