Wood furniture is usually vulnerable to water damage. However, larger furniture tends to have a high chance of being salvaged as long as it hasn’t been standing in water for more than 24 hours. You can restore bedpoles, table and couch legs, and other wood parts that haven’t been fully saturated. Meanwhile, smaller objects like decors or furniture with fabric wrapping may require full replacement.

Regularly check and tighten bolts, avoid overloading, and inspect for wear.

Determining how to repair broken drawer slides depends on the specific issue. For minor problems, try tightening loose screws or lubricating the slides with silicone spray. If a slide is damaged, you may need to replace it. If the track itself is damaged, replace it by unscrewing it from the cabinet and installing a replacement slide that matches the type and size of the existing one. Consider consulting the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific drawer system.

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.
