Is furniture restoration worth it?

• <div><p>Not always—heavily worn or broken furniture often isn’t worth repairing or refinishing (if it’s even possible). While some damage can be repaired and some of the visual appeal restored, major flaws, such as structural issues, can’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: Is wood veneer actually wood?

• <div><p>Yes, wood veneer is wood. Instead of using large pieces of lumber, wood is sliced into thin sheets that are glued or laminated to larger pieces of wood. Wood veneer is both cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and versatile. It can be stained or have different finishes&mdash;varnish, lacquer, shellac, and more&mdash;based on your preferences.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance do experts recommend post-refinishing?

• <div><p>Use rugs in high-traffic areas, immediately clean up spills, and do regular dust mopping.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain custom furniture?

• <div><p>Follow care instructions based on the material, regularly clean, and avoid moisture or heat exposure.</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>
