Q: How do I know if my wood furniture is worth refinishing?

• <div><p>Telling the difference between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-wood-furniture.htm">high-quality wood furniture</a> and lower-quality pieces is challenging, but there are a few sign that indicate whether your furniture is worth repairing:</p><ul><li><p>Push your fingernail into an inconspicuous section of the wood. If it doesn&rsquo;t leave a dent, it&rsquo;s likely hardwood and is well worth a repair.</p></li><li><p>Unzip the bottom of couches to look for the structural components. If they&rsquo;re made of wood rather than particle board, it&rsquo;s likely worth refinishing.</p></li><li><p>Ask a local furniture repair technician. A reputable professional will let you know if you&rsquo;re better off replacing rather than refinishing your specific item.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: When should you not use wood filler?

• <div><p>Avoid using wood filler for structural repairs or areas with extensive damage. Wood filler is designed for cosmetic fixes like filling small holes, cracks, or surface imperfections, and it doesn't provide the strength needed for load-bearing repairs or large gaps. You also shouldn&rsquo;t use wood filler in areas exposed to heavy moisture or extreme outdoor conditions unless it&rsquo;s a product specifically rated for such environments. Wood replacement or a strong epoxy resin is a better solution for severe rot or structural damage. </p></div>

Q: Will vinegar remove glue from wood?

• <div><p>Yes, vinegar can break down the adhesive bond, effectively dissolving the glue from wood. It will be much easier to wipe away. Vinegar&rsquo;s acidity, which helps to make it an effective all-purpose cleaner, can also aid in removing adhesive with less chance of damaging the wood and finish than more aggressive solvents. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to restore or refinish furniture?

• <div><p>Restoring furniture generally takes less time because the fixes involved are mostly surface-level cosmetic repairs. In most cases, a project like this will be completed in one to two days at most. By contrast, refinishing can take anywhere from several days to a couple of weeks because it requires sanding and treating damaged wood, adding a new stain, finish, or layer of paint, and drying time. </p></div>

Q: Can I refinish just the top of a table?

• <div><p>It's perfectly fine to just refinish the top of your table instead of all of it. In fact, that's what most people do. After all, why finish the bottom of the table that nobody ever sees? Of course, depending on how exposed the legs of your table are, you might at least consider refinishing them. </p></div>

Four men came out and it took 3.5 hours from start to finish to move our Jr. one-bedroom apartment from north Alexandria to NW DC. We were a smaller job, I think, and easier b/c we only needed our boxes and furniture moved into the first floor of the new place (upstairs floors need refinishing)....
