From heirloom dining chairs to commercial canvas awnings, River Upholstery & Canvas brings over three decades of precision craftsmanship to every piece that walks through our Aurora door.
Every project — whether a single chair or a fleet of commercial vehicles — receives the same meticulous attention to detail that has defined our shop for over three decades.
Sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, and headboards — we strip, repair, and rewrap with premium fabrics chosen to match your style and lifestyle.
Car seats, boat covers, truck interiors, and convertible tops. We work with vinyl, leather, and marine-grade materials built to endure the elements.
Awnings, tents, truck tarps, and outdoor covers — from patch repairs to full replacements, we keep your canvas protecting what matters.
Restaurants, hotels, offices, and institutions trust us for bulk reupholstery, fleet interiors, and custom fabric specifications delivered on schedule.
Broken frames, sprung springs, sagging supports — we diagnose and rebuild the structural foundation so your piece lasts generations, not seasons.
Not sure which fabric? Our team guides you through hundreds of options — durability, color, texture — to find the perfect match for your space and budget.

We brought in a set of dining chairs that had seen better days. River Upholstery brought them back to life — the new fabric looks incredible and the frames are tighter than the day we bought them.
As a restaurant owner, I need seating that lasts. They reupholstered 24 chairs for us on schedule and within budget. The commercial-grade fabric has held up beautifully through daily use.
My grandfather's armchair was falling apart and I was worried no one could restore it properly. The team at River handled it with such care — it looks and feels almost new. Truly skilled people.
