Just in case you upholster again, you finish the corners by bringing the corner tip down first & then pleat in the 2 sides towards the corner tip. That keeps it neat but also keeps the 4 edges level with each other. ❤

Regardless of the restoration imperfections in everyone’s comments, it gives a new lease of life for the next 60-70 years!

As someone with a preservationist-obsessive mindset, I wasn't sure about the leather replacing the fabric at first, because of the sympathetic route. But it really streamlines the piece and allows you to pay more attention to the craftsmanship, making it able to be displayed in a more diverse range of spaces. Cool to see a piece of history like this come back to life. Love how shiny, bright and new the handles turned out and learned a lot about getting rid of stubborn wood staining.

No, absolutely not! Smaller knobs would not jive with this period piece. They are perfect. The only thing that doesn't go with this very nice refinish is the leather. It does not go with the piece or the period. The fabric that was replaced coordinated with the knobs and brought textural interest to the piece. A similar upholstery fabric should have been used. But, a nice job otherwise!

I feel bad for your chisel..😢 That’s a good looking gossip bench. Very different from the one my parents had. Ours had a round table and then the chair built in. No drawer. You did a nice job with the upholstery for being your first time. Corners are always hard to do. Don’t be afraid to use a staple remover to readjust the fabric to minimize ripples. Oh and if you like wipe on poly, you can dilute yours if it’s oil based with some mineral spirits. I like the wipe on type, no brush strokes and you can build coverage. I do about 3-4 coats on table tops with a light sanding in between coats(400-600grit). Finish it off with a buff with craft paper or paper bag. Learned that trick from Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration here on KZitem.😊

I can't wait to try your varnish tip and technique out. I didn't know you could dilute it and thats why I use a cheap brush to apply before wiping down, its so thick and messy otherwise.

I have reupholstered four times and the thickest fabric I used was a tapestry type (the others were cotton and one was a print over a piece of calico to make it thicker), but I would have cut the fabric to size first so there wouldn't be any corner bulk. However, you did a fantastic job, and although a telephone table it could be used for something else. Maybe a bedside table as there is already a chair for someone to sit in.

Hopefully someday you can find a vintage piece of upholstery that is more suitable to the style of the table. Nice job.

We have a white rotary phone, in our laundry room of all places! It came with the house we bought. They're a rarity these days.
