Hi everybody! New to the forum. I joined, on referral from a GW member, because I remember DCollie's generosity on the GW furniture forum, and consider him to be an invaluable resource and a kind person, and seriously don't know how he put up with all the nonsense he had to put up with on that forum.

Anyway. . . .

So here's my question: We currently have a Flexsteel sleep-sofa covered in a chenille fabric that has not held up very well. Our small dogs love to sleep on the sofa and are not destructive of it, yet much pilling, etc. has occurred. I have been seriously considering having a slipcover made for the sofa, but after reading on this forum that Flexsteel is actually not that good a brand of sofa, would it be worth it to reupholster? If so, should I go with chenille? And if chenille, is there a hardier chenille fabric I should be looking for? I'd add a photo, but I don't know how, or if it's even possible.

Thanks so much!
