Q: Is furniture restoration worth it?

• <div><p>Not always&mdash;heavily worn or broken furniture often isn&rsquo;t worth repairing or refinishing (if it&rsquo;s even possible). While some damage can be repaired and some of the visual appeal restored, major flaws, such as structural issues, can&rsquo;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: What are the benefits of upholstering furniture instead of replacing it?

• <div><p>Upholstering allows personalization, extends furniture life, conserves resources, refreshes decor, and often costs less than buying new pieces.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if the leather is good quality?

• <div><p>The best way to test the quality of a leather couch is to put your hands on it. If the upholstery is soft and warm, that&rsquo;s a good indication that the quality is higher. It should also smell like traditional leather. If it smells like chemicals, you&rsquo;re probably dealing with low-grade leather. </p></div>

Q: How long does leather furniture last?

• <div><p>Depending on the quality of the leather, this type of upholstery can last anywhere from 5 to 20 years. The more time you invest in the care and protection of the leather, the longer your leather furniture is likely to last. </p></div>

It was great working with Dave. I requested a custom cutting board for a Fatherâ s Day gift along with a primitive wooden star. Love the quality of the work! I would use Dave again in the future (possibly thinking about building a pantry and resurfacing some old furniture).
