Factors That Influence the Timeline
Below, we have shared the factors that influence the timeline. Take a moment and have a look at them.
· Type of Furniture

Lets’ say if you are reupholstering a dining chair that might take a few hours to get done while if you are working with a whole big sofa then it might take around days or even weeks in some cases.
· Condition of the Furniture
The condition of the furniture with whom you are working also plays an important role in ensuring that how much time it would take for your furniture to get done. Always remember that if the structure of your furniture is also the subject and needs working then it might take extra time to get done.
· Complexity of the Design
The features and the complexity of the design like tufting, piping, or customized patterns can also take time as attention to details might seem minor but in reality it takes good time to get done with them.
· Availability of Materials
If you are thinking of working with any unique fabric or specified texture so you might consider that finding, cutting, and working with such fabric can take extra time and energy and most importantly there unavailability in the market can cause unexpected delays.
