Do you have old, scuffed wood furniture you love and can’t part with? You don’t have to get rid of it. According to the experts at Tri-County Furniture Restoration, when you restore furniture, you're giving the pieces new life. Here, the Cincinnati professionals explain why restoration is the best option when it comes to wood furnishings.

Why Restoration is the Best Choice for Wood Furniture

Bring Value Back to Your Beloved Pieces

Well-crafted wood furniture tends to hold its value — sometimes even gaining in worth as it gets older. However, when the furniture is used heavily without proper care, it begins to look worn. Many owners are quick to give up on unique and beautiful pieces without realizing how salvageable they are. Whether your wood pieces have faded with age or have been damaged, there are professional services that restore furniture to look like new again.

When Done Right, It Can Look Like New

When you’re ready to revive old pieces of furniture, remember that wood furnishings require great care. While metal furniture can be updated with a quick coat of paint, wood items are more complicated. Introducing chemicals, for instance, when the piece hasn't been properly repaired, can permanently damage the material.

To properly restore furniture, it needs to be repaired, stripped, smoothed, and refinished. The intricate designs and hardware associated with most units need personalized attention that takes time and effort. 

Especially when it comes to antique furniture pieces, restoration will maintain the authenticity of its design and craftsmanship. Painting over or covering the original wood will likely depreciate its value and prevent you from making a profit if you choose to sell it.
