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: Can I supply my own fabric for chair reupholstery?

• <div><p>Many upholsterers allow you to provide your own fabric, which can help control costs and ensure you get the exact style you want. Some upholsterers offer a selection of fabrics to choose from, while others may require you to purchase it at a fabric store. Be sure to check with your upholsterer about fabric suitability, required yardage, and any additional fees for using customer-supplied materials.</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: What costs are involved in furniture upholstery services?

• <div><p>Costs depend on fabric choice, furniture size, cushioning, and labor. For significant projects, expect estimates between $350 and $1,200.</p></div>
