is this durable enough to upholster a chair? Do you know the rub factor?

My impulse is to say no. I bought the fabric to make a blouse for a costume for a friend, and even for that purpose the material needed to be lined because it was thin enough to be too sheer in the white areas. The material is about as thick and sturdy as a satin bed sheet. I hope this helps.

I use it on expensive leather furniture and it works fine. You can always try it on a small spot first, I guess, to see if it damages anything.

Yes it's durable. A dog's claws probably wouldn't poke thru walking across. My cat does scratch and knead it and that does mess it up :)

Yes, but only on floors. This tool is not intended for upholstery. The suction is very strong with this tool. It's my favorite.

We haven't had any problem with the range of materials we've used this on for over a year with a cross country move in between, but none of the furniture was really high end. You put it on the soft rubber and it comes off with the rubber (I guess it's rubber). The minor bits of the glue were easily rubbed off the wood. But that was just my own experience. The glue strips are 3M and really adhere to the rubber.

Yes, I use it on my living room sofa and reclining chair all the time. Its very safe for fabric furniture.

I think the fabric will hold up, we have a cat with claws. I bought the love seats for a 6 bed assisted living, so they are getting alot of use.

Used it to repair a 3" tear in a leather chair. Cannot say it came out the way I thought it would but it has held together so far. Don't know that it would work for your situation.

Yes, as I have cushion leather chairs and it works just fine. I put a towel down on the chair to protect the chair from damage and food spillage.

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.

I suppose it depends on what type of fabric. I have micro fabric and it is not really effective. Also the size of the rake would is not be appropriate for a chair. The prongs are somewhat sharp and I would be concerned with damaging the fabric. However, it works wonders on the carpet!

I have not used this stapler for re-upholstery. However, from my use with it, I would say YES it will work fine. The main key to success with a Heavy Duty Stapler is choosing the correct staple. Length and gauge that will perform the task at hand, AND within the stapler's ability to function. ~Hope this helps~

I think this would work great on upholstery. You might gave to use small scissors at the seam lines but it would work well on the flatter areas. Nancy Jo

I have not used it for that purpose yet I believe it can be used for that purpose if you read the description in the direction book it says you can. You need to check the upholstery tag first.

Hi...hope I am of SOME help. Have owned the sofa- love seat for a little over a year. For not being actual leather it is holding up decently, HOWEVER, I do not have children or pets. Don't think it is made for rough-housing. Cushions are holding up well. Use it everyday.

I have has my chair for about 6 months and have had no problem with the "leather". I use it 5 days a week in my office.
