Q: Is it better to repair or replace old furniture?

• <div><p>When deciding whether to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/consider-reupholstery-instead-new-furniture.htm">reupholster, repair, or replace old furniture</a>, consider its age, level of wear and tear, and overall value. It&rsquo;s usually better to repair old furniture because older pieces tend to be made out of hardwood, like oak and maple, whereas newer furniture is more often made out of plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and other less durable materials.

Q: What should I look for in a professional upholsterer?

• <div><p>When hiring an upholsterer, look for a pro with experience in your chair type, positive reviews, and a portfolio of completed projects.
