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: How long does the upholstery process typically take?

• <div><p>The process usually takes 1-2 weeks, and it is highly influenced by the materials, complexity of the project, and any customization desired.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose the right fabric for upholstering furniture?

• <div><p>Consider durability, color, texture, room use, and personal style when selecting fabric. Fabrics like linen, cotton, or microfiber offer versatility and strength.</p></div>

Q: What size sofa fits through a standard door?

• <div><p>Interior and exterior door openings are typically 80 inches high, with openings 29&frac14; inches wide for interior doors and 35 inches wide for exterior doors. If your couch is smaller than these measurements, it should fit through the door frame.</p></div>

Q: What textures and materials go with dark academia decor?

• <div><p>Part of the beauty of academia decor is that most textures and materials will feel right at home, provided they&rsquo;re dark. Some common textures include natural wood, dark metals like iron, velvet, and leather. Incorporating these into your dark academia decor will make them look right at home. Glass is another option in some cases, so fill in gaps in your decor with small glass jars, or really lean on the gothic roots of dark academia with stained glass.</p></div>

Our experience with Roy’s was nothing short of a nightmare. We have waited 3 months now for a couch that we were originally told would be delivered in 4-6 weeks. For 3 months Mark has strung us along with empty promises and a complete lack of communication and transparency. At one point he told...

I am very happy with the service. We had to stop along the way and pick up more furniture at a store and it wasn't an issue for them. I would use them again if I move.

The movers were extremely prompt with the move. Were very careful with the loading and unloading of furniture. The movers were polite and very caring and made any adjustments to where things were placed. Would highly recommend their services to anyone.
