# Can you make cushions or covers for a Barcelona-style chair, and what does it cost?

*The Barcelona-style chair is a handsome thing with a fussy set of cushions. Right, then: here is how the workshop prices them, and the cheaper route most people miss.*

Also asked as: Custom cushions for a Barcelona-style chair?; Replacement cushion covers for Barcelona chairs

> **The quick answer:** Yes, Barcelona-style seat and back cushions can be made to order, but they are a pricier, unlisted model because of the chair's intricate design and detailed craftsmanship. Send reference photos, your fabric choice and exact dimensions for a custom quote. If your foam is still sound, replacement covers alone cost much less, and two chairs' worth can be quoted as one set.

## Key facts

- Barcelona-style chair cushions are made on request, not from a listing.
- Full seat and back cushions are a more expensive model because of the chair's intricate design.
- A quote needs reference photos, a fabric choice and exact dimensions.
- Covers have been made at 29.5 x 19 x 3.5 in (75 x 48 x 9 cm) for the back and 29.5 x 21 x 3.5 in (75 x 53 x 9 cm) for the seat.
- Replacement covers alone cost much less than full cushions.
- Two chairs' sets of covers were quoted together as one total.

## Why this chair isn't on the menu

The workshop doesn't list Barcelona-style cushions. It can make them; a size menu just can't price them honestly. The seat and back are intricate, detailed work, so each set is quoted chair by chair.

I once quoted a pair of these from one blurry photo and a guessed thickness. Never again, dear. Send the numbers and the quote comes back once.

> Replacement covers for a Barcelona-style chair cost much less than new cushions. If the foam is still firm, send its exact size and re-cover it.

## Buyer questions

**A common question:** Do you make custom cushions for a Barcelona-style chair?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes, but because of its intricate design and detailed craftsmanship it is a more expensive model and isn't listed. Send reference photos, fabric choice and exact dimensions for a quote on the seat and backrest.

**A common question:** How much would replacement covers for two Barcelona chairs be?

**The workshop's answer:** Two sets, each a 29.5 x 19 x 3.5 in back cover and a 29.5 x 21 x 3.5 in seat cover, were quoted together as one total, far below the cost of full cushions.

**A common question:** That's more than I expected. Is there any room on the price?

**The workshop's answer:** Often a little. Custom quotes usually come down about 5-10%, occasionally up to about 14%, for a first purchase, a bulk order or a stated budget. Then the workshop names its best price.

## Questions buyers ask next

### Why are Barcelona-style cushions priced higher than other chair cushions?

The seat and back are an intricate, detailed piece of upholstery compared with a flat chair pad, so the workshop treats them as a separate, more expensive model and quotes each request.

### Can I keep my old foam and only replace the covers?

Yes. Replacement covers are made to your cushion's exact size and cost much less than full cushions. Measure the foam itself, length, depth and thickness, rather than the tired old cover.

### Will a sale price still hold if I order in a week or two?

Usually. Sales tend to run for months, which leaves time to order fabric samples first. If a sale ends before you order, message the workshop and it will reactivate or honor that price.
