Can I have your contact?

My current chairs are ok, except that the leather is cracked and flaking. The few upholstery I checked all quoted $100+ per chair to which DH say might as well get new chairs.

Same thing we both said. Not worth doing if too costly. Might as well change the entire aesthetics with a little bit more top up. I don't have the contact number of the place anymore. But it's easily located at Yew Tee industrial. It's a unique trade. It's an auntie manning the place. We just needed to bring all the seat covers.

Our dining set was from Millenia Walk, i think Harvey Norman. Nothing fancy schmancy, but lasted us more than a decade.. till today.

Alamak, like that problem leh. Mine the cover cannot be removed, all part of the chair.

Ops..


But no harm asking if she can do. If can find out quote.
Perhaps that's why Busymom's wan oso equally expensive.
The cushions/pads are attached. :idea:

I just re-upholstered my set of 6 dining chairs, as the original <those leather look but cheapskate material) cover came pealing off… It was barely a year old and I was very upset, but decided against going all the way from kovan to IMM to confront the company.


Spent $60 each chair to do it, on synthetic (non-leather) material.

My friend bought her iMac cheap cheap but on the last day of pc show. Got thrown in additional mouse oso that time. They were in the packing up process then and would rather sell them off than carry them all back. :evil:

That said, she and her hubby did some recce around the booths and knew which one is a good bet. :evil:

Now that you mentioned it, hubs also looking at getting a MacBook. His dinosaur lappie in its sad dying moments oredi.

hmm... then maybe there's hope. DW told me that Apple doesn't go to those pc show. but you mean got some many stores selling iMacs?

Then again, not sure if the MacBooks really good. The company one that i'm using has got a few problems already...

<those leather look but cheapskate material)

Can totally relate to this.

They look like Dr Martens shoe leather and stitching but the PU Leather flakes off and peels its true colours or rather... skin ... in this instance, faster than the next upcoming festive season. :rant:

Hubs said what PU leather? Pui leather got la!

good description!

We initially didn't realise what caused it, but there were lots of black (that's the colour of the 'leather' on the dining chairs) v small flaks on the floor every day even with constant vacuum or 'masking taping'. Then one day realised it's those flaks that peeled off from the chairs!

The dining set was not cheap, at $1,700, and the stupid 'leather' lasted shorter than the $8 cushioned round chairs we bought from Courts!

[quote=\"buds\"]Busymom, $500-$600 each chair? :shock:


Our upholstery was only like $70+ for all 6 chairs. Extra padding all in and we chose our leather covers from their collection as well. Not plenty to choose from but it served our purpose.

Mebbe your chairs are branded.

The synthetic leather cushions are still ok, not flaky. I am actually very impressed because the set was very cheap and it lasted so long.

Think synthetic and PU got diff. PU has the snowing flaks effect.


Worse if you have sweaty ppl sitting on them. :frustrated:

Yes, Millenia Walk HN has aesthetically pleasing furniture sets at value for money prices. Ours lasted till now, (the wood) which we brought over from our move few years ago. Too sayang to throw away.
