What to do when you need your furniture repaired

Furniture is one of the most important aspects of any living space. A soft couch can be a luxuriating comfort at the end of a long day, or a wooden desk can be the place from which you do your most important work. Regardless of what it looks like or what you use it for, it's inarguable that furniture is a necessary part of every home.

Unfortunately, that's also what makes it so difficult when furniture breaks and needs to be repaired. If you have a furniture product protection plan, things like rips, tears, cracks, and more are covered, so you don't have to worry about potential damage. However, if you don't have coverage, you can be left on the hook for expensive furniture repair or replacement costs.

What should you do if you need your furniture repaired?

Let's take a look at some of the most important steps to take when you're in need of furniture repair.

Check your warranty coverage

If your furniture is covered under a manufacturer's warranty, you can get coverage for things like manufacturing defects, production issues, and more, meaning you'll likely be able to get furniture repairs or replacements for free. However, manufacturer warranties are often limited in scope, and typically only last for about a year from the purchase date.

With an extended furniture warranty, you can get coverage for a wider array of issues, including rips, tears, spills, cracks, and more. Extended warranties also last for a longer period of time, so you're protected for longer, however they can also get expensive depending on the level of coverage you purchase. Extended warranty providers will also often provide repairs or replacements for free, or at least for a reduced price.

DIY furniture repair

DIY furniture repair is also an option for fixing your broken furniture, depending on the level of damage and if you know what you're doing. For example, it's easy to fix light scratches on a wood table with a few household materials, but it might be more difficult to do your own furniture repair if your wood furniture is completely broken.

Furniture repair stores

Furniture repair stores are practically everywhere, and can be a great resource when it comes to getting your furniture fixed. If you have a manufacturer's warranty or an extended warranty, the company you have service through might have furniture repair shops they like to use, or they might have you ship your furniture back to them for repairs.

However, if you don't have warranty coverage, or want to use a repair store a little closer to home, you can simply search "furniture repair near me" and the closest available stores to your location will come up.
