Furniture repair isn’t something you can master in an afternoon so you can do your own work, it’s a craft that has to be developed with time. The average hardcore DIY-er is NOT going to be able to just pick up a craft like this real quickly. It’s not just the actual act of doing the work too, you have to have the tools you need to do the job, and be able to source the leather and other materials that you need. Pro’s are able to source the exact materials they need, and likely have all the tools they’ll need already on hand. When you DIY a job like this, you risk just ruining the base of the furniture. You also risk spending a ton of money on supplies as you have to do trial and error.

Refinishing and restoration are confused a lot, so let’s break it down. Restoration tends to be more like touch up’s, light outside cleaning and cosmetic repair. The end goal is to keep the integrity of the piece but improve the outward appearance, expanding the lifespan some. Refinishing is a lot more in-depth, it involves stripping the finish off of the piece. Any wood pieces are coated with a chemical stripper, sanded, stained, and then finally refinished. SOME antiques will lose value after refinishing. If that matters to you, do your research and be careful.
