Before You Quote a Chair, Ask for Three Photos — Plus a Free Image-to-Video Generator, No Signup Required

Ask for three photos in your first reply to a chair upholstery inquiry. You can use them to clarify the work and decide whether you need to see the chair in person.

The three views

1. Whole chair. Shoot from a front corner in good light. Include the top of the back, the feet and one side.2. Visible underside edge or seam. Keep the chair upright. If the underside is hidden, show a reachable side seam. If neither is visible, say so.3. Wear detail. Include the worn spot and enough surrounding fabric to tell where it is. If there is no wear, show the surface to be recovered.

Copy this reply

Thanks for asking about your chair. Could you send the whole-chair view, a visible underside edge or seam, and a close-up of the worn area or fabric you want replaced? Skip the edge view if you can't see it with the chair upright.

How many chairs are there?

 Would you like the seat, the back or both recovered? If you have measured the seat width and depth, please send the numbers and units. Tell me your fabric preference and when you'd like the chairs ready. I'll review the photos and let you know what else I need before confirming a price or date.

Optional shooting cue

Use a fictional chair to show where to point the camera. Prepare two images in the same aspect ratio and from the same angle, one of the whole chair and one closer to the seat seam. Add them in that order in OpenMaker. Try this prompt.

Move gently toward the seat seam. Keep the chair still and preserve its fabric, frame and wear. End with the seam and some nearby fabric visible.

OpenMaker describes its free MiniMax H3 workflow as five seconds at 480p, with no signup and unlimited attempts. Label the clip as an illustration or use the two stills. Review the customer's original photos for the actual job.
