The piece looks stellar in situ, but I really would have preferred "ticking" with a larger pattern on it. The rosewood frame is to die for.

[@harrodguy]

A great piece but it looks unfinished with no gimp or braid to cover the nail heads.

[@pm1104]

Craig......for heaven’s sake please wear a face mask when you disassemble such a dusty sofa......you have no idea how bad that stuff is for your lungs! Apart from that nice work!

[@caroline0515]

I just finished writing the very same thing, and then started reading down the comments. Still maybe he should see it twice.

[@cajsheen2594]

This is the part I really love. Drew buys 'em, the craftsmen do their wonderful work! Magic! XXX

[@jimnorthland2903]

Hmm...not to my tastes. Great job, would just choose a different print (and rebuild the back).

[@okjoe5561]

Rebuilding the back was my first thought too. There have to be examples they could have used to recreate it.

[@terrabrockidottingen1839]

Somehow i just dont like new fabric on an antique piece of furniture.

[@okjoe5561]

Would you have preferred it the way it was? There was no other choice.

[@tallismaryward]

@@okjoe5561 There were 1000's of other choices. The pattern is too small and too quickly formed to make a full pattern. The line at the front should be even not in a wave, The smallness of the pattern extenuates this flaw.

[@jeanross7430]

I am not fond of the pattern, I would have preferred a rich coloured fabric, plush and lush, A mask who knows what is lurking in there.

[@caroline0515]

That poor man ripping off that upholstery, should be wearing a mask to do that job. Breathing that in can NOT be good for him. WEAR A MASK!

[@anteeker]

Cheap looking printed fabric on a piece like this? Totally inappropriate. They should have used a richly colored damask or brocade, a twisted cord around the edge of the seat, and a pleated fabric(say velvet in a contrasting color) under the cord, called ruching-finished off with a coordinating gimp. The buttons should be done in the same color as the ruching. 6" bullion fringe hanging down from the arms would have been a nice finishing touch. Ticking as he called it is for mattresses and pillows not rosewood furniture.

[@tea98988]

I would have used teal velvet to make the new upholstery, and only use Drew’s patterned fabric to make accent pillows to go with it.

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

The upholstery job is a bit crazy

[@1516Spinola6040]

It is beautifull.

[@AH-te5gs]

I like the ticking, but I don't like it on this piece of furniture.

[@susannehunter4017]

It's just material. Saying it's a bit "crazy" is a bit strong. Not really a word people use in every situation they find unusual.

[@lyndamac1058]

The visible tacs is terrible. It needs a fringe around it

[@kimdelrosario4087]

Wow! Wow! Wow! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@housedadtrains]

ive seen better the materiel is hideous even on the printer it looked lighter and the sample more bolder.

[@josephsuva6676]

Great job perfect....

[@jaybales3160]

Very interesting and educational. Enjoyed watching.

[@space14605]

Craig is one of the best parts of this show. Cheers!

[@giaclinbaiardi6979]

È venuta proprio bene 👍🙌🎉

[@nadkram1]

Fantastic job.... I LIKE it!!!

[@ahmedfakhir]

Such a handsome man is Graig ..

[@shariharniss7745]

Lovely! I like the fabric and the understated finishing. Simple is better, sometimes. Beautiful, Craig!!

[@geoffblight6594]

Terrible colour

[@djdefaut6869]

So many traditional hand skills are being lost these days as they do not teach them in schools any more .I hope Craig passes his knowledge, understanding and craft on to the next generation by taking on an apprentice.. You done an excellent job on a piece of furniture which was ready for the skip.

[@ghosthunter5100]

So why was it missing welt around where it was tacked? it shoudlve had welt but looks unfinished.. plus that fabric is ugly.

[@sheilaghbrosky4150]

Now we have all the experts commenting. If you know so.much how is it you're not working for Drew?

[@readmycomment3157]

The fabric they had made didnt suit the final piece at all, i dont know what they were thinking.

[@kyleanuar9090]

I'd change the fabric design. Velvet perhaps.

[@tomassvaton]

The upholstery guy apparently works for cheap. Work and cost of fabric would be at least 700 pounds in Czech Republic if talk in its low end. Cant imagine selling this for mere 1000 pounds.

[@readmycomment3157]

Same in UK, but in TV land they dont tell you that!

[@dandetmer6336]

Drew how can u wear so many layers of clothing. Aren't u hot?

[@melchronnerreorlain5532]

COOOOLLLL!!!!

[@thomasallmond9744]

Wanda Allmond. The letter is beautiful!

[@maxcarter3923]

Ugly fabric choice

[@herblopez8657]

Oldbbull not wearing a mask 😷

[@davidsnyder2000]

Fabric made from scratch…….that hasn’t got to to be cheap 😬 Fingers crossed 🤞 Drew will find others that need that same design and Drew can draw royalties from it👍🙂 Smart investment in fabric 😊

[@javierpina204]

Hello from Chile, I've recently taken the hobby of furniture restauration and found a telephone token from Brazil, old coins and things, I try to get as much tips from the experts as o can, love to watch salvage hunters.

[@adeh503]

Is that Kentucky fried ticking Drew 🤔🤔

[@ADS4TVVegasPahrump]

That rosewood frame is makes it worth repairing it.

[@garystewart6093]

David Brent of the antiques world.

[@apache313]

1,000 Pounds? Yeah right

[@Nas_Atlas]

brilliant

[@unknown-cp8zp]

I pictured this in a lush emerald green velvet 😍

[@jamesbutterson5218]

💚🤘

[@lynetteyoung9777]

That fabric is a joy to see.

[@Davesunflower]

fabric looks terrible

[@mariacristinamontaltopalma]

............ARTE..........

[@alangallop8782]

Big up too zippy

[@simonpeirce6786]

Sod the antiques drew needs a Complete Makeover including Character - IMPOSSIBLE!

[@johnathonseagull492]

Sod the business- Work on your marriage instead!

[@jimnorthland2903]

Ancient history.

[@lcg5790]

Not your business.

[@adeh503]

He ain't even married anymore

[@mm9773]

Hideous.
