What are the pros and cons of reupholstery?

• <div><p>As with any project, weighing the pros and cons of upholstery can help determine if that is the right choice for you. The ultimate question is whether it’s <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/consider-reupholstery-instead-new-furniture.htm">worth reupholstering instead of buying new furniture</a>. Here are a few of the benefits and disadvantages of reupholstering a piece of furniture.</p><p>Pros:</p><ul><li><p>Preserving a family heirloom</p></li><li><p>Maintaining high-quality furniture in good condition</p></li><li><p>Reinventing an old piece of furniture</p></li><li><p>Keeping a piece of furniture from going to a landfill</p></li></ul><p>Cons:</p><ul><li><p>Spending (possibly) more than to buy a new piece of furniture</p></li><li><p>Finding out the frame is beyond repair</p></li><li><p>Waiting for the reupholstery work to be done</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

How do you prevent leather furniture from peeling?

• <div><p>Ongoing maintenance of your leather furniture is the only way to prevent it from peeling and cracking. Real leather will peel and crack as it dries out. Leather conditioners are a great way to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-protect-your-leather-furniture-years-come.htm">protect your leather furniture</a> from drying out, and you’ll need to apply it about twice each year. It’s also a good idea to keep abrasive materials away from your leather to prevent cracking and peeling, including belt buckles, shoes, and multi-surface cleaners, especially those that contain alcohol.</p></div>

Is it better to reupholster or replace furniture?

• <div><p>In most cases, it is more affordable to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/consider-reupholstery-instead-new-furniture.htm">reupholster furniture than it is to replace it</a>, but it depends on the quality and age of the furniture you’re considering getting reupholstered. Antique pieces are always worth reupholstering, as it’s the only way to preserve the piece and extend its life. Newer pieces of furniture are more often made using lower-quality materials like medium-density fiberboard or plywood that don’t have the same lifespan as things like hardwood. For newer pieces, your furniture reupholstery specialist should be able to help you determine the best course of action.</p></div>
