Is it better to reupholster or replace furniture?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Why is my wood furniture sticky?

• <div><p>Wood furniture gets sticky when dirt and grime accumulate on the surface. Sometimes, wax coatings and oils are the culprit, but other times, it’s a sign that the finish is failing, and no amount of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-wood-furniture.htm">cleaning your wood furniture</a> will help. Varnish and lacquer can both get sticky as they age, and in this case, you’ll need to refinish the wood to stop the issue.</p></div>

Q: Can I DIY?

• <div><p>Yes, you can tackle small rooms yourself if you're handy and have a flat, clean subfloor to work with. But seams must be sealed properly, or the barrier will fail. Any gaps will let moisture sneak through and defeat the purpose of installing this more expensive type of carpet padding. For larger rooms or areas, professional installation is usually worth the extra cost.</p></div>

Q: How long does wood filler take to dry?

• <div><p>It can take as little as 30 to 60 minutes for wood filler to dry, but some products take up to four hours. Always read labels to ensure you're following the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions. Water-based wood fillers typically take longer to dry than oil-based or epoxy-wood fillers, especially when applied to large areas or deep cracks. Wood putty won&rsquo;t dry completely, remaining slightly pliable.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paper is used to wrap furniture?

• <div><p>Paper moving pads, also called furniture wrapping paper or paper moving blankets, are sheets of recycled paper used to protect various items during moving. Similar to traditional moving blankets, paper pads are also reusable, making them a sustainable and cost-effective option for protecting your belongings during the moving process. Although they&rsquo;re recycled, they still provide excellent protection against dust, dirt, and scratches.</p></div>
