Frequently Asked Questions About Furniture Restoration:
Whether furniture restoration is worth it depends on a variety of factors, such as the age and condition of the piece, its sentimental or historical value, and the cost and effort required to restore it.
In some cases, furniture restoration can be a worthwhile investment.
For example, if you have an antique or vintage piece of furniture that is in good condition but needs some repairs or refinishing, restoration can help to maintain its value and prolong its lifespan.
This can be particularly true if the furniture has sentimental or historical value, such as a family heirloom or a piece with cultural significance. Another example would be, if you have a dining room set and 2 chairs are damaged; the cost to repair them is likely less than the price to replace the set.
However, in some cases, restoration may not be worth the cost and effort.
If a piece of furniture is badly damaged, has lost significant value over time, or is not particularly special to you, it may be more cost-effective to replace it with a new piece rather than invest in restoration.
Ultimately, the decision to restore furniture should be based on a variety of factors and depend on the individual situation.
If you are unsure, we can provide resources to help you to assess the piece and offer advice on whether repair and/or restoration is worth it.
