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 does it mean if a couch feels crusty after cleaning it?

• <div><p>If your usually super soft couch feels crusty and rough after cleaning, it could be that you haven&rsquo;t removed the cleaning product properly, you used too much, or you applied the wrong type. Always check the couch tags to select the right cleaning product, read application instructions carefully, and test on an inconspicuous corner. For fabrics such as microfiber, you can soften and fluff crusty fibers using a soft-bristled brush.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to reupholster furniture?

• <div><p>The average time it takes to reupholster a piece of furniture is around <b>eight hours</b>, but it varies significantly based on the piece. A professional can usually reupholster smaller furniture units like dining chairs or small ottomans in two to three hours, while an entire sofa might take several days or up to a week. Antique furniture tends to take longer to reupholster because greater care needs to be taken to preserve the piece. Your timeline might be a bit longer if you need other repairs done, like sanding and refinishing wood components.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to repair leather furniture?

• <div><p>It is usually worth repairing leather furniture, as it tends to retain its value, provided you care for the material.

Even if you spend toward the upper end of the typical cost range for a full reupholstering&mdash;around <b>$4,000</b>&mdash;you&rsquo;ll still save money over replacing it.
