A person whose job is covering furniture with padding and fabric or leather — putting new springs, foam, and cloth on chairs and sofas, either making new ones or repairing old ones. It is a skilled trade, learned over years, and in most towns there are only a few. "We took the sofa to an upholsterer." "He's an upholsterer — he did all the seats in that restaurant." The word is completely ordinary but not common in daily talk, simply because most people need one only once or twice in a lifetime, usually when a good old chair is worth saving. You meet it in shop signs, phone books, and sentences about restoring furniture. Some upholsterers work on cars and boats too, doing the seats. It is a countable noun: an upholsterer, two upholsterers.
