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

• <div>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:<ul><li>Push your fingernail into an inconspicuous section of the wood. If it doesn’t leave a dent, it’s likely hardwood and is well worth a repair.</li><li>Unzip the bottom of couches to look for the structural components. If they’re made of wood rather than particle board, it’s likely worth refinishing.</li><li>Ask a local furniture repair technician. A reputable professional will let you know if you’re better off replacing rather than refinishing your specific item.</li></ul></div>

How much does it cost to refinish wood furniture?

• <div>The cost to refinish wood furniture ranges widely, depending on the size and type of furniture. Here’s what you can expect to pay to refinish the following wood furniture items:<ul><li>Table: $150–$700</li><li>Dining chair: $100–$400</li><li>Rocking chair: $200–$500</li><li>Bar stool: $100–$250</li><li>China cabinet or armoire: $500–$3,500</li><li>Dining set: $1,000–$3,000</li><li>Coffee table: $150–$800</li><li>Dresser: $300–$2,000</li><li>Bed: $350–$2,000</li><li>Pool table: $300–$600</li><li><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-refinish-cabinets.htm">Kitchen cabinets</a>: $1,800–$5,000</li></ul></div>

Can you condition leather with natural ingredients?

• <div>Yes. A good mixture to condition your leather is made from one tablespoon of natural baby soap, a splash of vinegar, and 2 cups of warm water. Mix these ingredients in a bowl and use a microfiber cloth to rub it into the leather in small circles. You can apply the same technique with a mixture of one part vinegar and two parts linseed oil. Once you’ve applied this to leather with a cloth, let it sit for 10 minutes before buffing with a small cloth.</div>

Is it better to reupholster or replace furniture?

• <div>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.</div>

Q: Can you reverse water damage to a wood table?

• <div>Minor water damage on wood tables can be reversed fairly easily. You can remove stains and light surface damage with a sandblock, then repaint and re-varnish the wood surface. For swollen and rotten wood, you can cut away the damaged parts and use a wood filler as long as the affected area isn&rsquo;t too much.</div>
