Furniture Repair

The chemistry in refinishing is regulated, and the labels changed

Paint and finish strippers are not one product. Some of the most effective formulations have been restricted for consumer sale, and what is on the shelf now behaves differently and needs different handling. Reading the label is not optional advice in this category.

Old furniture adds a second problem: finishes and paints applied before 1978 may contain lead, and sanding them is how it gets into the air. Our guides tell you what triggers that concern and what a professional should be doing about it.

Reupholstery is named in a federal safety standard. What that means for your fabric, your labels, and the questions to ask a shop.

No supplier publishes leather pricing and no standard governs the kits. What can be verified, and how to match the fix to the damage.

Furniture Refinishing Supply

What a supply house can legally sell you now, what the label threshold actually means, and which supplies have no published price at all.

Upholstery Fabric and Yardage

Published yardage by piece from two charts that disagree, real per-yard prices from two manufacturers, and the arithmetic in between.

Furniture Refinishing and Strippers

Refinishing kept one narrow methylene chloride exemption and it expires in 2029. What that means for your piece and the shop you hand it to.
