Low cost custom sofa line new for 2018

We are proud to introduce our newest sofa design for 2018. It is our low cost custom sofa line.

Available in a variety of styles including sofa, loveseat, chair and a half, chair and many sectional arrangements.

While we have reduced the price, by simplifying the design we have not reduced the quality. We have constructed this line with coil spring seat construction, and solid wood framing. The seat cushions are made with high density foam in your choice of medium or firm to provide you with the comfort that you desire.

Hand crafted furniture shouldn’t have to cost an arm and a leg, and at MBU, we are providing the clean lines of a quality couch with reversible seat cushions to provide a long lasting, durable piece of furniture at an affordable price.
Sofa with in stock fabrics start at just $650. Sofa as shown is only $892.

Why not have a piece of furniture made for your home now. We have thousands of fabrics, leathers and vinyls.

Come visit us to see the quality of our handcrafted furniture. With more than 40 years of experience, we can help you pick out the perfect fabric for you specific needs.

Reupholstery of rocking chair

We recently had an interesting project to work on. We were brought a unique rocking chair frame to reupholster.

While this isn’t a standard design, we were able to create a new seat and back to bring back this very comfortable chair.

New Sofa and Loveseat Construction details

A recent sofa and loveseat project allows us to show you some of the details that go into the making of an MBU Interiors product.

Our frames are handcrafted using plywood and pine. This allows us to create an incredibly strong frame using interlocking joints. MBU has never had a frame fail in 40 years of furniture construction.

We hand sew the seat deck and seat roll (5 inches back from the front of the seat and under the cushion) to the springs. This allows a dip in the fill to allow the crown of the seat to fit into perfectly for a more finished look and to keep the cushions from sliding.

The foam in a sofa or loveseat comes in a variety of densities that allow for different levels of compression for comfort and support. At MBU Interiors, we use different densities of foam in the seat cushions and the back of the sofa. Unlike some other companies who would simply use loose fill in their sofa backs, we us foam in the back and then cover it to keep it in place. Additionally, we use back springs under the foam for additional comfort and durability. Normally, you do not see that kind of construction in a sofa until you pass into the $2400 range. Depending on the fabric selection, we will be less than half of that.

Leather Chair Re-upholstery

Re-upholstering a piece of leather furniture has it’s own little tricks and special touches to make a great looking project.

This leather chair was brought back to life in a beautiful brown leather. As you can see from the photos below, we hand cut the materials that are needed for a project, allowing us to pay attention to the little things that make a finished piece.

Re-upholstery of a wooden arm chair

A customer recently brought in a chair that while the fabric wasn’t in the worst shape, just didn’t fit into their decor. We were asked to remove the white fabric and replace it with a red fabric with a small print.

As you can see below, the change in fabric made it look like a completely different chair.
