5 Benefits of Refinishing Furniture
1. Just Because You Love It
When you have a piece of furniture in your home for so many years, you become used to see it every day. Watching a beloved piece deteriorate over a period of time becomes hard to witness.
2.Sentimental values
People often have sentimental values attached to a certain piece of furniture, especially the antique ones and something that has been passed on for generations. Restoring and refinishing sentimental pieces saves them for continued use and enjoyment.
3. They Don’t Make It the Way They Used To
Modern furniture pieces are not of the same quality as the old furniture pieces. The quality has deteriorated over the past several decades, and the highest quality wood is not used anymore except for very specific (and expensive) applications.
4. Investment
The inexpensive plywood used today does not last for many years, thus warranting the need to refinish old furniture, which helps furniture lasts longer. Consider restoring antique, high-quality pieces for investment.
5. Environment Benefits of Furniture Restoration
Due to the energy intensity of furniture-making, it produces much more carbon dioxide emissions to create new furniture pieces than to restore the old furniture. Compounded by issues of deforestation and land degradation, refinishing old furniture keeps trees standing.
