Old Fashion Upholstery

Located at 1125 N. Central St., Old Fashion Upholstery is the place to go to have that favorite chair or sofa, love seat or fold-out bed recovered.  Old Fashion Upholstery offers you a way of getting something new without paying the new price, or taking something old and special and giving it new life.  All you need is the piece of furniture you want reupholstered and the fabric you want them to use, and Old Fashion Upholstery will do the rest.  They'll come and pick up the furniture, and then deliver it when it's done.  Not sure how many yards of fabric you'll need?  Give them a call at (865) 637-7533.  They might just come by and give you an estimate of how many yards you'll need.  Or stop by.  They're open from 8 AM to 5 PM Mondays through Fridays.

Raymond Spires, Sr. owns Old Fashion Upholstery, which has been in business for 15 years.  The business employs eight people, works on both residential and commercial projects, and is licensed and insured.  "We try to please the customer," Raymond Spires said.  Old Fashion Upholstery at Old Fashion Prices is the company's motto and toward that end work is guaranteed for a year.
