What changes the price

Why quotes vary

Fabric is extra. Valley Studio's figures are labor only; a sofa can take 15+ yards, so fabric choice moves the total most.
Size. Valley Studio prices sofas by width (about $700 per linear foot), so a 7-foot sofa costs about twice a 3.5-foot loveseat in labor.
Trade vs. neighborhood shops. Angi's LA ranges reflect typical local shops; designer workrooms such as Valley Studio sit well above them.
Get two or three written quotes. Most LA shops, including Rahn's, quote after seeing the piece rather than posting flat rates.
