Who We Are

Velvet & Wood is an upholstery studio dedicated to using high-quality materials and techniques to preserve and restore all kinds of furniture. We love rescuing pieces! In addition to offering upholstery, restoration and refinishing services for furniture you may already own, we also have a small market of antique pieces available.

Founded in 2018, Velvet and Wood is now housed in a Springville, NY Main Street storefront. Currently, our team is three large, including founder Chris Wojtowicz.

Chris grew up around upholstery, with his grandfather opening up Main Upholstery in Buffalo in 1975. He spent his much of his childhood at the shop and began working there as a teenager. While he eventually left to try other things, Chris rediscovered his interest and love for the craft in 2017 and opened Velvet & Wood a year later. He says that now, reviving and restoring furniture while being a part of a vibrant community is the best of all worlds.

Frequently asked questions.

  • It’s as simple as filling out the estimate questionnaire, which is located here!

  • Upholstery of any kind! All soft goods: couches, chairs, pillows, cushions, outdoor furniture, automotive, and more. We also happily delve into refinishing and restoration of pieces that need a little more love.

  • Presently, the average wait time is between three and five months.

  • There are many, many variables that go into estimating the cost of the piece! Your responses to the estimate questionnaire will give you the most accurate estimation possible. In general, at least half the total cost is fabric and materials. The cost of fabric starts around $100/yd and goes up from there, depending on what you select.

  • Of course! However, since we cannot guarantee the quality of a fabric brought to us, we only offer a warranty on fabrics we supply. There is also an included cutting charge of $30 per yard.

  • We do! It is $2 per mile for our drive there and our drive back for both pickup and delivery. (For example, if you live 10 miles away it would be $40 for pickup and $40 for delivery.)
