If you’re dealing with a drawer that’s sticky or askew, learning how to fix drawer slides is relatively simple. Start by removing the drawer from the cabinet and examining the slides for any damage or broken parts. If they appear intact, clean the sides and corresponding tracks with a hot, damp cloth. Lubricate the slides (bar soap works in a pinch) and tighten the screws. Finally, reinsert the drawer, making sure it glides effortlessly along the slides. Test the drawer to ensure it opens and closes smoothly, making any necessary adjustments for proper alignment.

Furniture repair costs around $200 on average, and most project costs fall between $100 and $500. The price you can expect to pay will depend on the type of furniture you’re repairing, the extent of the damage, and the size and age of the piece. Reupholstering and couch frame repair are the most expensive, sometimes costing $1,000, while fixes like repairing a scratch or replacing a spring in a couch or armchair will usually cost under $100. Older furniture requires more care and will typically cost more to repair.

Paper moving pads, also called furniture wrapping paper or paper moving blankets, are sheets of recycled paper used to protect various items during moving. Similar to traditional moving blankets, paper pads are also reusable, making them a sustainable and cost-effective option for protecting your belongings during the moving process. Although they’re recycled, they still provide excellent protection against dust, dirt, and scratches.

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.
