Details to settle first
- Decision anchor: current photos + seams + stains + firmness.

Decision notes specific to Upholstery condition: furniture selection guide
The upholstery condition decision is only useful once current photos + seams + stains + firmness is attached to a real zone, a named owner and a line the supplier can quote against.
Run upholstery condition past the worst case: maximum guests at once, the narrowest access point, and the latest possible handover.
