When you purchase leather furniture, you’re making a long-term investment in your home or office. Leather furniture is covered in a premium material that’s guaranteed to outlast cheap alternatives, and it will remain in pristine condition as long as you provide the proper care. However, there comes a time in every homeowner’s life when a precious leather sofa or recliner becomes damaged. Before you throw that prized piece away, Bayles Leather House in Victor, NY, recommends asking yourself a few questions.

How To Handle Damaged Leather Furniture

1. Should I Throw It Away? 

While minor scratches or rips might be easy to ignore, larger holes or noticeable damage will require repairs from a professional. If the piece of furniture is in good overall condition or holds sentimental value, contact a leather repair technician to receive an estimate.

2. What Is The Price Of Repair?

Once you receive a written quote for repair, it’s time to decide between repair and replacement. If the affected furniture is relatively new, it may be wiser to pay for a quick fix. For sofas or recliners in undeniably poor condition, a simple repair won’t cover your needs.

3. Is It Time To Replace?

Over the course of your life, you’ll probably only have to replace your furniture a few times—especially if you’ve chosen leather. The moment you do decide to redecorate or remodel your home is the perfect time to replace that dilapidated sofa.

4. Who Can Help Me Decide?

There are two people you should contact when deciding between repair and replacement—a furniture repair technician and your local leather furniture dealer. Stop in and talk to the experts at Bayles Leather House to test your replacement options and make the ideal selection for your home. If your furniture is damaged beyond repair, contact Bayles Leather House by calling (585) 742-1360 or visiting them online today.
