Need a number of foam seat cushions to be made for old-fashioned wicker porch chairs... anyone have a good experience/recommendation?

The NH State Prison inmates have a wonderful upholstery..reupholstery shop located within the prison walls in Concord..call the prison and check out the procedure for getting an estimate. While you are at it...also visit the woodworking store across the street from the prison complex...some of the most beautiful...impeccable craftsmanship...furniture, all constructed by the inmates. The prices are great!

02beinnh,

Foam cushions are very expensive at retail prices. I have had some custom work done but bought my own cushions and brought to the seamstrest. Here is an excellent site to buy the cushions on your own and the prices are the best I found after lots and lots of research. WWW.thefoamfactory.com
and the shipping is free over $75.00. I was able to pick out my own fabric at Joannes when they had a great sale.

We have had several things reupholstered by Steve Rollins in Wolfeboro 569-1714. Did excellent work very reasonably. Also does canvas work.

Another person you might consider is Carolyn of "Aunt Martha's Housecleaning/Furniture Repair/Upholstery" in Moultonboro. The number is 603-253-6141. Ken, Carolyn's husband, also does outstanding furniture repair.

Samiam's secret guy......is Tom's Top's and Trims in Laconia. Tom has always done upholstery repairs for the VK at a very fair price. He also does boats, antique cars....anything in fabrics. I've used him for over 20 years.
