Is furniture restoration worth it?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to buy new furniture or reupholster?

• <div><p>It <i>can</i> be cheaper to reupholster a chair or other piece of furniture than to buy a new one, depending on how much it costs to replace. If the chair or couch originally cost less than $300, then reupholstery may not be the cheapest option. However, if the chair is expensive, vintage, or discontinued, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-reupholstery.htm">reupholstery</a> can be the more affordable option. This is especially true if the piece of furniture is out-of-production or holds sentimental value.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth reupholstering an old or antique chair?

• <div><p>Reupholstering an old or antique chair can be worthwhile if the frame is still sturdy and the piece has sentimental or monetary value. Reupholstery often costs less than buying a high-quality new chair, and you can customize the look. However, extensive repairs or rare fabrics may increase the total cost.</p></div>

They were able to accommodate the move on rather short notice. Also, I noticed they would carry a box or piece of furniture into the new place and run back to the truck for more. They were aware that they were on the clock and mindful of the fact that I was paying for time. Very respectful and...

The movers did an excellent job, were very careful with my furniture, of which some pieces were fragile, arrived on time, loaded and unloaded quickly, and throughout the planning phase did a good job of communication. Excellent move!
