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>

Q: What is wood filler?

• <div><p>Wood filler is used to fix imperfections or damaged interior sections of wood on items like cabinets, door frames, and even laminate floors or countertops. It contains wood byproducts like sawdust mixed with water or solvent, which helps bind to wood and dry pretty quickly.</p></div>

Q: How long does wood stain last?

• <div><p>Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it&rsquo;s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.</p></div>

Q: What kind of wood should I use for a fireplace mantel?

• <div><p>You can use most types of wood for a fireplace mantel. You can use simple veneer plywood. If you prefer solid wood, pine is an affordable option that's easy to cut and finish. Walnut is harder, heavier, and highly durable with a rich dark brown color. Hickory offers a lighter color but is similarly durable. Cedar is ideal for a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/dated-fireplace-mantel-turns-rustic-modern.htm">rustic fireplace design.</a></p></div>

Q: Can I refinish just the top of a table?

• <div><p>It's perfectly fine to just refinish the top of your table instead of all of it. In fact, that's what most people do. After all, why finish the bottom of the table that nobody ever sees? Of course, depending on how exposed the legs of your table are, you might at least consider refinishing them. </p></div>

Diamond coating team did my floor in my closet. They gave me great advice and information that helped me choose the perfect coating for my area. They covered everything and protected my furniture and walls. I highly recommend them to anybody looking for a coating!

Very friendly, very careful and professional and handled our furniture very well. Moved things in the home that wasn't even part of the initial move. Would definitely recommend Collin and Kyler.

Rick did not do the paint job on my furniture correctly the first time so I asked him to re-do it. He now has had my furniture in his possession for almost two months and will not bring it back to me or return my calls. I wanted to have it back this week because my daughter was coming to...

They were very good. They were very flexible on when to come and arrived promptly as promised. My cost was without furniture, so I was glad they had two different pricing scales.
