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>

Q: Why is my wood furniture sticky after cleaning?

• <div><p>If your wood furniture is sticky after already cleaning it, it&rsquo;s likely from using too many polishes or waxes. You&rsquo;ll need to remove some of the excess wax with a cloth and warm water mixed with dish soap. You can then reapply the wax or polish afterwards, but try to use a much smaller amount and wipe away any excess.</p></div>

Q: Can you permanently seal butcher block countertops?

• <div><p>You can certainly seal butcher block countertops, but not permanently. Due to the nature of the materials, it will require resurfacing down the line. This is true no matter what you use to seal the countertop, including polyurethane and mineral oil. Polyurethane will last until the countertop is damaged in some way, and mineral oil should be reapplied every two to three months. To maximize the longevity of the polyurethane sealer, apply two coats. </p></div>

Q: How do you declutter for the holidays?

• <div><p>Strat decluttering for the holidays by removing trash and organizing items into different piles that you&rsquo;ll keep, donate and toss out. Whatever you intend to keep, find a specific place for it, and if you buy something, get rid of an item that&rsquo;s taking up space. Start small, go room-by-room, and don&rsquo;t try to declutter all at once&mdash;doing so can get overwhelming.</p></div>

Q: How long can furniture sit in water before being ruined?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t been standing in water for more than 24 hours. You can restore bedpoles, table and couch legs, and other wood parts that haven&rsquo;t been fully saturated. Meanwhile, smaller objects like decors or furniture with fabric wrapping may require full replacement.</p></div>

We were pleased with the wide selection of material choices in this shop. Although we were told our furniture would take 2 1/2 months, it was done in 2 weeks. Some of the work was not done correctly when I went to pick them up and they fixed it and apologized. I would go back here again.
