How much does it cost to refinish a dresser?

• <div><p>The cost to refinish a dresser ranges from <b>$300 to $2,000</b> on average, depending on the dresser’s size, material, and detail. If you need to repair the dresser before refinishing it, you can expect that service to cost extra. While it’s possible to restore and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-tips-refinish-antique-furniture.htm">refinish antique furniture yourself</a>, we recommend hiring a professional furniture refinisher to maintain the integrity of vintage and heirloom pieces.

Q: Can you use wood filler to repair veneer?

• <div><p>Wood filler can be used to repair minor scratches, dents, and damages on wood veneer. Simply scrape the wood filler over the chipped or scratched area. Make sure to leave a little bit more than you need so you can sand it down for a smoother finish. Repaint or restrain the surface to ensure a consistent color.</p></div>

Q: What removes dried paint from wood?

• <div><p>If you recently splashed paint on the wrong area of a wooden object, remove it with a solvent or caustic paint stripper. Some paint that has yet to dry may be removable by hand with coarse sandpaper or a plastic scraper. Another trick for removing dried-on paint is rubbing a dab of nail polish remover on the paint to remove it, but avoid touching the bare wood surface.</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: Is it better to repair or replace old furniture?

• <div><p>When deciding whether to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/consider-reupholstery-instead-new-furniture.htm">reupholster, repair, or replace old furniture</a>, consider its age, level of wear and tear, and overall value. It&rsquo;s usually better to repair old furniture because older pieces tend to be made out of hardwood, like oak and maple, whereas newer furniture is more often made out of plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and other less durable materials. When determining whether it&rsquo;s worth the price to repair a furniture item, calculate the price of buying a new, similar piece and compare that to quotes from local furniture repair services.</p></div>
