About King Living
King Living lounges hold up — until they don't
King Living build to last decades. The frames and mechanisms outlive almost everything else on the market, which is exactly why so many Canberra households end up with a 10-year-old King Living that's structurally perfect but cosmetically tired. Restoring the leather is dramatically cheaper than replacing the suite — and the result usually looks better than the day it was delivered.
What King Living owners ask us first
Can the colour be matched?
Yes — including the discontinued tans, charcoals, and oat tones. We mix to match against an unworn panel (usually under a cushion) so the finish is invisible.
Will the recliner mechanism still work?
Yes. We strip and recolour without removing the panels from the frame for most jobs. The mechanism, motors, and warranty paths stay untouched.
Is it cheaper than reupholstery?
Significantly. Recovering a 3-piece King Living suite often runs $6,000–$9,000. A full restoration usually sits between $1,200 and $2,400 depending on damage.
Common King Living issues
What we see most often on King Living leather
Headrest oil and shine
King Living leather absorbs body oil over years. The tops of the headrests darken and develop a polished sheen. We strip the residue and rebuild the topcoat.
Crack lines on Reo / Jasper / Delta seats
Front-edge cracking is the most common King Living job we quote. Caught early, it's a spot repair. Caught late, it's a full panel rebuild — both fixable.
Colour fade on north-facing pieces
Tan and oat finishes fade fastest under Canberra's UV. Even rooms with sheer curtains can see noticeable shift over 5+ years. Recolouring brings the whole suite back into balance.
Recliner pivot wear
Where the recliner mechanism flexes the leather repeatedly, micro-cracks form along the fold lines. We condition first, then patch and re-seal.

Why it matters who you choose
Independent specialist
vs franchise network.
Most Canberra customers don't realise until the quote arrives that the national brand they just rang is a franchise — with franchise fees, a call centre and a variable local operator.

The usual experience
- Franchise fees passed to clients
- You deal with a call centre — not your technician

Almost always. The frames are usually structurally perfect at 10 years. Restoration costs 15–25% of replacement and adds another decade of usable life.
Yes — we regularly restore King Living lounges from the 1990s and 2000s. Older pigmented leathers respond beautifully to colour matching.
Yes. Surface scratches buff out and recolour invisibly. Deeper claw punctures are filled, levelled and re-finished — undetectable on most jobs.
Cosmetic restoration doesn't touch the frame, springs or mechanisms, so it doesn't affect any structural warranty. Always check your specific terms — happy to send written confirmation of work for your records.
