Is furniture restoration worth it?

• <div><p>Not always—heavily worn or broken furniture often isn’t worth repairing or refinishing (if it’s even possible). While some damage can be repaired and some of the visual appeal restored, major flaws, such as structural issues, can’t be fixed as easily. If you still want a cost-saving furniture refinishing project rather than purchasing all new, consider shopping for similar secondhand pieces at thrift stores, garage sales, and estate sales.</p></div>

Q: Is furniture restoration worth it?

• <div><p>Not always&mdash;heavily worn or broken furniture often isn&rsquo;t worth repairing or refinishing (if it&rsquo;s even possible). While some damage can be repaired and some of the visual appeal restored, major flaws, such as structural issues, can&rsquo;t be fixed as easily. If you still want a cost-saving furniture refinishing project rather than purchasing all new, consider shopping for similar secondhand pieces at thrift stores, garage sales, and estate sales.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to reupholster a couch?

• <div><p>The time to reupholster a couch often ranges from one to three weeks, depending on the upholsterer's workload, fabric availability, and the complexity of your couch. This breaks down between 10 and 20 hours if you hire a professional, or 20 to 40 hours if you DIY. Custom features or repairs may extend the timeline. </p></div>

Q: Are there environmental benefits to choosing upholstery over replacement?

• <div><p>Upholstery reduces waste sent to landfills, limits resource consumption, and supports sustainable living practices, provided fabrics meet standards.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth reupholstering an old or antique chair?

• <div><p>Reupholstering an old or antique chair can be worthwhile if the frame is still sturdy and the piece has sentimental or monetary value. Reupholstery often costs less than buying a high-quality new chair, and you can customize the look. However, extensive repairs or rare fabrics may increase the total cost.</p></div>

Although the work was good, they were not at all responsive. I constructed new plywood bases for seats for my boat and in May 2013 I brought them to the studio so they could put the foam and covers on. It took them about two weeks to contact me with a price--$1,100 for two seats. Because I...

I have used them in the past. They are good. They provide excellent personal care. My carpets look fabulous. They took the time to move the furniture and to put the foil underneath the legs. They did a lot of spot cleaning. I paid about $150 for a large bedroom, two small bedrooms and a few...
