What clients expect and what professionals need to know
Furniture repair addresses structural failures (broken legs, loose or failed joints, cracked frames), veneer repairs (chipped, bubbled, or missing veneer sections), broken glass replacement, drawer and door hardware repair, and fabric repairs on upholstered pieces. Loose mortise-and-tenon or dowel joints are re-glued with the joint disassembled, old glue removed, and fresh yellow glue (PVA) applied with clamping for 24 hours. Cracked chair rungs (cross-pieces between legs) are reglued and wrapped with linen thread or fiberglass roving, then painted over for an invisible structural repair.

Common questions from clients looking for Furniture Repair services
Antique and quality solid-wood furniture is almost always worth repairing; the wood in a 100-year-old piece of furniture is denser and more stable than new lumber, and skilled repairs add to provenance rather than diminishing value.
Check each joint by pressing on it — identify all loose joints before disassembling; a truly wobbly chair usually has multiple failed joints that must all be repaired simultaneously; partial repair leaves the repaired joints under excess stress from the remaining loose ones.
Veneer bubbles from moisture or heat are repaired by slitting the bubble with a razor, injecting hide glue or wood glue with a syringe, pressing flat under a heated caul or iron, and clamping until dry; small bubbles often press back down with heat and a clamp alone.
Yellow PVA (Titebond II or III) is the standard for most furniture joints; hide glue is reversible with heat and moisture — preferred for antiques that may need future repair; epoxy is used for non-porous joints or when gap-filling is needed; avoid super glue (cyanoacrylate) on structural joints.
For through-finish scratches: apply a stain marker matching the wood color, let dry, then apply a clear furniture wax or furniture polish; for deep scratches reaching bare wood: fill with a color-matched wax fill stick, level flush, and topcoat with clear wax or finish spray.
