Does "ideal for furniture" mean this would be good for reupholstering? Some of the reviews have me concerned about this.

The round top staples are quite good at holding wood to wood, but since they sit slightly below the surface, might not be ideal for upholstery fabrics, which I would think need a square topped staple.

NO not good for upholstery. Buy a good upholstery staple gun for that. They are cheap and you can get staples in regular and/or stainless depending on the application.

This is a narrow gauge stapler (1/4" crown) I would think a medium or wide gauge (3/8"-1/2" gauge) stapler would be better for upholstering.

This is a great tool. I used it for putting on hundreds of planks for a fence. That said, in my opinion, I don't think it would be good for reupholstering. I would look for something with a wider staple. This one is very narrow.

I have not tried to use it on furniture yet. I think it would probably work fine as long as its not too much. But remember, I said that the vacuum shuts off after only a few mins because it overheats.

Thank you for your interest in our product. This item that you are inquiring for is durable combination leather. Real leather will not be as easy to maintain during usage, unlike combination leather. Thank you and have a wonderful day! --FurnitureMaxx

Yes, this should do the trick. I had a good sized tear in the cushion of my leather sofa, and it mended it perfectly. It has held for two months without any sign of loosening. It will leave a hard, shiny spot, but nothing too dramatic. I love this stuff!

I have smooth leather upholstery and does very well. Not as good on the floor carpet, but as good as my old Kenmore canister.

Yes, it works well and hasn't damaged my furniture. You must reapply often. Be careful not to get it on your hands as it is hard to get off.

I used it on leather golf shoes and a micro fiber pullover, no problem. I have not used it furniture though and would do a small section first if I was you.

It is an artificial fabric, but not as soft as some microfiber furniture. It can be easily cleaned. It is quite firm and when I want to lie down on it, I "pad" it with soft blankets. As I am in recovery from cancer treatments, I do often, rather than stay in bed. It has quite a lot of space between the back and arms and the seat, which I stuff with throw pillows. It serves my purpose and I have a special spot for it where it fits perfectly. It is not a high end piece of furniture, however. But at this price, I didn't expect that.

I have only used this product for vinyl chairs/seats. I don't think that I, would use it for something as delicate as suede shoes though. It works great for vinyl upholstery like I said.

As long as it's not something antique or delicate but from what you say of pills all over it I doubt it. Yes it is. I know and have heard of many people doing their whole couches & chairs & ottomans. So I would do it. You will probably have to empty the lint catcher a few times, so pay attention. Start out at an inconspicuous part of the chair and see what you feel is the best pressure for it and if it snags or anything so you can let up on the pressure. If it seems to stop working in any way, take the blade cover off and remove any lint/fuzz around where the blade spins from & the blades. I either blow into it (pointed slightly down so as to avoid fuzz in the face) or I use canned air to give it a good blast of air. So I hope that helps! Give it a try & I bet your chair looks like new! I do my sheets while they're on the bed! Good Luck!

That I don't know. This product is made exclusively for furniture, so it's hard to tell.

I would think so. We've used it for 20 something years on our leather furniture and it's still in good condition. We always follow with their leather conditioning cream.

I think so. I've been using it on a chair that's totally upholstered and nothing has been negatively impacted.

No, I would not! It works perfectly on smooth, unfinished furniture - even unpainted but I would not recommend it for reclaimed would and certainly not crevices or chips in the wood. I have no idea what to use except for a good power sander and work down from several grades of sandpaper until it is more manageable.

Yes. That is exactly what I did. Worked out perfect. Better than re-upholstering . It is also great if you want different colors that work for you. Just love them and was the smartest move I made.

It can be used to knock off the high spots if you are very careful, but it won't come even close to what a real jointer would do for you. On the other hand, if the seam doesn't have to be furniture quality, it should do nicely.

I have the exact same question. Did you end up buying it AnnD? Did it work? I would like to use it in my fabric sofa as well... Thank you in advance
