Chairs with loose joints are the most common fault. The glued joints of the legs and 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 moving again. The second risk is wall damage. Anchoring a tall cabinet to the wall without appropriate plugs for the material can tear out plaster or brick when someone pulls a drawer. For each material (concrete, brick, plasterboard, tile), there are specific plugs. Using the same generic plug for everything is a recipe for the furniture to fall over weeks later. For complete IKEA, Leroy Merlin, or custom-made kitchens, the typical process involves several steps. A preliminary visit to measure and check the wall. Walls are never perfectly straight, and sometimes pieces need to be adjusted to reality. Assembly of modules in the workshop when possible, to speed up. On-site installation with anchoring and levelling. Connection of appliances, coordinated with the electrician and plumber if needed. Fine-tuning of doors and drawers. And fitting of plinths and trims.

For pieces of great historical or artistic value, we refer to a specialized external restorer with whom we collaborate. Museum-quality restorations require specific training that goes beyond general carpentry. The most common question clients with damaged furniture ask us is whether it's worth repairing or if it's better to buy a new one. The answer depends on three factors: the sentimental value of the furniture, the original manufacturing quality, and the cost of repair versus a new equivalent. For IKEA, Conforama, and similar economy-range furniture, 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-range, inherited antique, or sentimental furniture, repair almost always makes sense. Replacing them with solid wood equivalents has a much higher cost, and the original piece of furniture has a manufacturing quality no longer found in new production. Yes, if the model requires it and the wall material allows. We use specific plugs for concrete, brick, plasterboard, or tiles as appropriate.
