Wobbly chair joints are the most common fault. The glued joints of the legs with the seat give way over time due to continuous use. Correct repair requires disassembling the chair, cleaning the joint surfaces by removing old dry glue, re-gluing with appropriate wood glue. Clamping for 24 hours to cure. A well-repaired chair can last another 30-40 years without becoming wobbly again. Solid wood is the traditional option, robust, restorable, and durable. Its drawback is seasonal movement with humidity: in humid summer, it absorbs water and swells; in dry winter, it contracts. This means some doors rub against the frame in July-August and show visible gaps in January-February. For homes inhabited all year round in areas with stable humidity, this is not a problem. For holiday homes with long closed periods or intermittent heating, movement is more noticeable. Typical seasonal movement of solid wood with humidity. We adjust hinges or plane down 1-2 mm in the rubbing area to level it all year round.

The most common question customers ask us about damaged furniture is whether it is worth repairing or if it is better to buy a new one. The answer depends on three factors: the sentimental value of the piece, the original manufacturing quality, and the cost of repair versus a new equivalent. For economic range furniture from IKEA, Conforama, and similar brands, where the price of a new table or chair is reasonable, repair rarely pays off except in very simple, specific cases. For mid-to-high-end furniture, antique pieces inherited, or those with sentimental value, repair almost always makes sense. Replacing them with solid wood equivalents has a much higher cost, and the original piece of furniture often boasts a manufacturing quality that is no longer found in new production. For items of great historical or artistic value, we refer to a specialised external conservator with whom we collaborate. Museum-quality restorations require specific training that goes beyond general carpentry. A modern, well-installed interior door noticeably changes the feel of a room. An old, painted solid wood door from the 80s, with worn hinges that rub the floor and a loose handle, immediately lowers the perceived quality of the space. Replacing it with a modern lacquered MDF or multi-laminate door with adjustable hidden hinges and a quality handle costs a reasonable amount and will last another 30-40 years without seasonal movement or the need for periodic varnishing.
