Review by Nancy McCray for Booklist:

"Demystifying the craft of recovering furniture, this practical video introduces tools and materials and explains the basics. Good camera work reveals each step of the process...over the shoulder shots follow the upholsterer's hands as he fits the pieces of the fabric."
