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 it take to reupholster furniture?

• <div><p>The average time it takes to reupholster a piece of furniture is around <b>eight hours</b>, but it varies significantly based on the piece. A professional can usually reupholster smaller furniture units like dining chairs or small ottomans in two to three hours, while an entire sofa might take several days or up to a week. Antique furniture tends to take longer to reupholster because greater care needs to be taken to preserve the piece. Your timeline might be a bit longer if you need other repairs done, like sanding and refinishing wood components.</p></div>

Q: What types of furniture repairs do professionals handle?

• <div><p>Pros cover many fixes, from upholstery renewals to joint reinforcement.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to repair leather furniture?

• <div><p>It is usually worth repairing leather furniture, as it tends to retain its value, provided you care for the material. A typical repair for leather furniture will cost about <b>$250</b>, which is significantly more affordable than replacing the furniture entirely. Even if you spend toward the upper end of the typical cost range for a full reupholstering&mdash;around <b>$4,000</b>&mdash;you&rsquo;ll still save money over replacing it. Of course, the quality of the leather and the piece of furniture matters. Consult a leather repair professional about whether it&rsquo;s worth repairing your leather furniture.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to buy new furniture or reupholster?

• <div><p>It <i>can</i> be cheaper to reupholster a chair or other piece of furniture than to buy a new one, depending on how much it costs to replace. If the chair or couch originally cost less than $300, then reupholstery may not be the cheapest option. However, if the chair is expensive, vintage, or discontinued, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-reupholstery.htm">reupholstery</a> can be the more affordable option. This is especially true if the piece of furniture is out-of-production or holds sentimental value.</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.
