i own a custom upholstery shop.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Upholstery is the work of providing furniture, especially seats, with padding, springs, webbing, and fabric or leather covers. The word \"upholstery\" comes from the Middle English word \"upholder\", which referred to a tradesman who held up his goods. The term is equally applicable to domestic, automobile, airplane and boat furniture, and can be applied to mattresses, particularly the upper layers, though these often differ significantly in design. A person who works with upholstery is called an upholsterer; an apprentice upholsterer is sometimes called an outsider or trimmer. Traditional upholstery uses materials like coil springs (post-1850), animal hair (horse, hog and cow), coir, straw and hay, hessians, linen scrims, wadding, etc., and is done by hand, building each layer up. In contrast, modern upholsterers employ synthetic materials like dacron and vinyl, serpentine springs, and so on. \"Upholder\" is an archaic term used for \"upholsterer\", but it appears to have a connotation of \"repairing\" furniture rather than creating new upholstered pieces from scratch (cobbler vs. cordwainer). In 18th-century London, upholders frequently served as interior decorators responsible for all aspects of a room's decor.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I'm fascinated with upholstery!

I was so surprised when I visited a shop and I saw a 3 soft set for 3000 USD"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Wow!  I've always wanted a Mercedes SLS, their super light sport but now I'm worried about cost because I'd only get the leather upholstery.  I bet that would add $10k to the price!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "of course, the better the car brand the better the upholstery. I saw a maserti recently and was blown away by the level of expertise that was put into making the upholstery that classy"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I've never seen a Maserti. A dealership had the Rolls Royce Phantom (2003), which helped re-launch Rolls as a luxury car and I could see why it revived the brand"}, {"role": "user", "content": "yea, there needs to be something to differentiate the men from the boys thats why luxury cars will always be there and good upholstery can't be that cheap :) "}]
