Alright, Seattle. It’s September. That means it’s officially back-to-school season—fresh pencils, overpriced notebooks, pumpkin spice slowly taking over society. But while the kids are headed back to class and the adults are pretending to be excited about routines again, let’s talk about something we’ve all been avoiding: your office chair.
You know the one. The squeaky, cushion-less, back-breaking abomination that’s seen more coffee spills and questionable posture than it deserves. You sit in it for eight hours a day, five days a week, and you wonder why your back sounds like bubble wrap every time you stand up.
Let’s be real: your chair is not okay.
Whether you're working from home, back in the office, or still riding that hybrid schedule like a cautious Jedi, this is the time to upgrade your office chair upholstery and reclaim your comfort, your spine, and—honestly—your sanity.
Everything. Think about it:
Kids are getting new backpacks.
Teachers are revamping classrooms.
Offices are filling back up.
Zoom meetings are multiplying again like raccoons in a trash can.
If we’re collectively pretending we’re “starting fresh,” shouldn’t your chair get the same respect?
Back-to-school season is a cultural reset. A chance to say, “You know what? I’m not living like this anymore.” And by “this,” we mean sinking into a busted chair with torn leather, pancake-flat cushions, and wheels that don’t even spin anymore.
This isn’t just about luxury. It’s about quality of life. And at Eidem Upholstery, we believe every butt in Seattle deserves a throne.
If you’ve been gaslighting yourself into thinking, “It’s still got a little life left,” here’s your wake-up call. These are red flags that your chair is done pretending to be functional:
Cushions are flat – You should sit on your chair, not in it like it’s a fabric sinkhole.
Leather is cracked or peeling – You’re not shedding skin. That’s the chair slowly dying.
Fabric is stained beyond recognition – If your chair has patterns that weren’t part of the original design? That’s not vintage, that’s questionable.
It squeaks, creaks, or wobbles – It shouldn’t sound like you’re riding a haunted bicycle every time you swivel.
You’re sitting on a cover over another cover over another cover – If you’ve created a DIY upholstery lasagna, it’s time to call us.
You wouldn’t let your kid go back to school with a busted backpack. Don’t go back to your daily grind with a busted chair.
Listen, we’re not saying you can’t buy a brand-new chair. You totally could. But we are saying that if you’ve already got a solid, quality frame, it makes more sense to reupholster and upgrade than drop a paycheck on something that’s gonna squeak in six months.
Here’s why:
Good chairs are expensive. And cheap chairs feel like you're sitting on a salad spinner. Reupholstery gets you high-end comfort without high-end panic attacks when the credit card bill arrives.
You live in Seattle. You compost. You recycle. You judge people who don’t bring reusable bags. So why send your chair to the landfill when we can help it rise again like a phoenix made of memory foam?
Want leather? Cool. Want breathable fabric? Done. Want neon green vinyl with gold piping and your initials stitched in? Bold choice, but hey, we don’t judge.
You already own the chair. It fits your body. It supports your sad little work-life balance. Why start over when you can upgrade the chair that knows your shape, your habits, and maybe even your darkest secrets?
Don’t get it twisted—this isn’t just for corporate desk warriors. We repair and reupholster:
Executive chairs that have survived five promotions and twelve corporate reorgs
Gaming chairs that saw you through Elden Ring and three consecutive Call of Duty meltdowns
Reception seating that’s been judged by every client, dog, and DoorDash delivery guy
Conference room chairs that need to stop squeaking every time someone shifts during a Zoom call
Home office chairs that may or may not have been designed to hold a 12-lb cat for six hours a day
If it rolls, swivels, leans, or squeaks—we can fix it. And we’ll make it look better than it did brand new.
This is your moment. Your fabric choice says something about you. Make it count.
Here’s the breakdown:
Leather or Faux Leather – Classic, sleek, and easy to clean. Perfect if you want people to think you have your life together.
Performance Fabric – Durable, stain-resistant, and comfy. It can survive coffee spills, pet hair, and your existential dread.
Vinyl – Tough and waterproof. Good for high-traffic commercial chairs or people who eat soup at their desks. (You know who you are.)
Woven Textiles – Adds color and texture. Great for that mid-century-modern-meets-tech-startup aesthetic.
And if you’re not sure what to pick? That’s where we come in. At Eidem Upholstery, we’ll guide you through the process. We’ve got swatches, samples, and years of experience—plus strong opinions and zero upselling nonsense.
We’ve been fixing chairs longer than most people have been alive. No shortcuts. No gimmicks. Just good old-fashioned craftsmanship with modern materials and fair pricing.
Here’s what you get with us:
✔ Expert Repairs – Cushions, padding, stitching, even armrest reconstruction.
✔ Top-Tier Materials – We don’t deal in thin fabric or questionable filler.
✔ Pick-up and Delivery – You don’t have to wrestle your chair into a Subaru.
✔ Commercial and Residential Service – Whether it’s one chair or a full office, we got you.

You wouldn’t send your kid to class with a cracked lunchbox and a broken zipper backpack. Don’t go back to your desk in a chair that’s wheezing for help.
