When water penetrates wood, the wood swells, causing the wood and veneer to separate. This separation creates bubbles on the surface of your furniture. If water spills on wood veneer, it needs to be dried ASAP. Surface spills can cause minor damages like white spots and blushing, but if you’re slow to action, you’re looking at more work—and spending—to restore your wood veneer.

Yes, most couches can be disassembled, especially those that were delivered flat-packed for assembly. To take a couch apart, you can typically detach components like the legs, arms, and backrest. The process often involves removing the cushions, unscrewing the legs, and separating sectional pieces or the seat frame. If you have the manufacturer's instructions, they will provide the clearest guide on which parts are designed to be removed.

Regularly inspect older furnishings for scratches, dents, sun damage, tears, or insect infestations in upholstered objects. These are all signs that an object needs to be repaired, and tending to them sooner rather than later will ensure they don’t worsen with time and eventually require more costly refinishing.

The cost to repair leather furniture typically ranges from $100 to $400, with an average of around $250. A minor repair, such as a small scratch or tear, may cost between $100 and $150. However, larger, more complex repairs, including total reupholstery, can cost $4,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the type of repair, the extent of the damage, the quality of the leather, the furniture's build and maintenance level, and whether additional repairs are needed for the structure or padding. A leather repair specialist can provide a precise estimate based on your specific project.
