A G. Stickley 319 rocker has been in my home for about two years now. At the end of last winter I took the rocker to Stickley to be reupholstered. They made several mistakes on the stitch style, and eventually returned my money--that process took 6 months.

A local upholsterer took the project and did an outstanding job. Many of you advised that I stay with the original seat and back and enjoy it that way. When the upholsterer did the work, he built the pieces from scratch, so I still have the originals stored away if needed in the future.

Here is the original..

And the job by Stickley with the balloon seat. The leather was outstanding, the workmanship very good--just the stitch pattern and variance between the pieces not done as agreed. I think the final above came out great!
