COVID-19 ResourcesWhile America is dealing with the pandemic of the novel Coronavirus known as COVID-19, the NUA wants to provide some resources for upholstery professionals during this time. We hope to update this page often. Keep in mind, you cannot get enough information concerning this virus, but you can get too much wrong information. Please use legitimate websites in obtaining information and developing a plan. |
"Upholsterers have always been artists and problem solvers and inventors. In the best of times, and perhaps even more so, in the worst of times. THAT is who we are." Cynthia Bleskachek, NUA Board of Directors | "We're upholsterers - we're problem solvers!" Audrey Lonsway, NUA VP | "Reupholstery is rooted in resilience. We do what we can, with what we have, where we are. Together, we will get through this." Jamie Facciola, NUA Secretary |
