Older furniture worth the cost of repairs

Reduce. Reuse. Refinish. That’s just one slogan Tobin’s Refinishing uses. They are in the business of fixing your old furniture and right now business is good. More and more people are looking to save money. When it comes to buying a new dining room set or fixing the one you’re already have, the choice is obvious. Fixing a chair could cost you just $100, but buying a new one will set you back a lot more.

Many of us have older furniture that’s been passed down through the generations. Chances are it was made with higher quality and is still going strong. Before the recent recession, changing furniture was easier to do. At Tobin’s, they are hoping more and more people will buy higher quality pieces that will last longer. They are, also, getting in the habit of selling updated pieces that have that quality without the high price.
