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>

How do you prevent leather furniture from peeling?

• <div><p>Ongoing maintenance of your leather furniture is the only way to prevent it from peeling and cracking. Real leather will peel and crack as it dries out. Leather conditioners are a great way to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-protect-your-leather-furniture-years-come.htm">protect your leather furniture</a> from drying out, and you’ll need to apply it about twice each year. It’s also a good idea to keep abrasive materials away from your leather to prevent cracking and peeling, including belt buckles, shoes, and multi-surface cleaners, especially those that contain alcohol.</p></div>

When should you not use wood filler?

• <div><p>Avoid using wood filler for structural repairs or areas with extensive damage. Wood filler is designed for cosmetic fixes like filling small holes, cracks, or surface imperfections, and it doesn't provide the strength needed for load-bearing repairs or large gaps. You also shouldn’t use wood filler in areas exposed to heavy moisture or extreme outdoor conditions unless it’s a product specifically rated for such environments. Wood replacement or a strong epoxy resin is a better solution for severe rot or structural damage. </p></div>

I had attempted to refinish and re-glue a chair which was given to my grandmother as a wedding gift. I'd succeeded in half dismantling it. Bob reassembled it and did a beautiful job refinishing. I could not be happier

The pieces were beautifully refinished and casters added per my request. I have asked Bob to additionally refinish a standing cabinet, a Windsor chair, and an old occasional table. Those pieces were just picked up today.

Bob repaired and refinished our 50 year old Ethan Allen chairs a few years ago and matched the stain perfectly. We had him refinish the table legs and, again, beautiful work. Would recommend him anytime!!

Bob did a wonderful job on refinishing the cabinets! They appear new, and his work was done on time. I do not remember the cost, but it was far less than we had expected before contacting him. We plan to hire him again to refinish a smaller, old table.
