Q: What maintenance does upholstered furniture require?

• <div><p>Regular vacuuming, spot cleaning, and protecting surfaces from sun exposure prevents wear and fading, preserving longevity.</p></div>

Q: Can I reupholster my own furniture?

• <div><p>Doing your own upholstery work is possible, but it&rsquo;s typically a better idea to leave the work to professionals. Without experience and the proper tools, it&rsquo;s difficult to get a professionally finished appearance for your furniture, and many DIYers end up spending money on tools and materials only to hire a professional when they can&rsquo;t get the fabric to look right. If you have reupholstery experience, feel free to give it a shot. However, if you&rsquo;re not confident in your skill level or you&rsquo;re working with antiques, it&rsquo;s worth the money to hire a pro.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to refinish or restore furniture?

• <div><p>It is often worthwhile to refinish or restore furniture, especially for high-quality, older, antique, or sentimental pieces. Older furniture tends to have better durability than modern, mass-produced items, and refinishing can cost about one-third of the price of replacement. To determine if it's cost-effective, compare quotes from local refinishing services with the price of a new, similar piece. Refinishing can refresh a piece's look and extend its lifespan. However, it may not be worth it for newer furniture made of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or plywood, or for items with major structural damage. A professional can help you assess the piece and decide on the best course of action.</p></div>

Q: What can you do with a broken couch?

• <div><p>If your couch is damaged, you are not out of options. You might try fixing it on your own, bring in a furniture repair specialist, or opt to get rid of it responsibly. Depending on its condition, you could donate, sell, recycle, or drop it off at a local scrap facility. </p></div>

Q: How can I make my dining room look more expensive?

• <div><p>You can make your dining room look more expensive using one or more of several methods. If you're remodeling, you can consider raising the ceiling height, installing an elegant chandelier, or redoing the floor. For smaller renovations, consider changing the paint color to a deep and rich tone, such as burgundy or emerald. You can also swap out the table and chairs to achieve a richer appearance. </p></div>

Lynn in customer service is extremely helpful. The crew working on the move were hard working and pleasant to deal with. The furniture seemed to be protected fairly well, however because it was delivered to a storage facility, I was unable to inspect each piece due to the wrappings.
