Should I repair or replace my furniture?

I'm trying to decide whether to repair my old sofa or just buy a new one. What should I consider?

You should consider the cost of repair versus replacement, the age of the sofa, and its sentimental value.

What if the repair costs are almost the same as a new sofa?

If the costs are similar, think about the quality and durability of a new sofa compared to your old one.

Are there any environmental impacts I should think about?

Yes, repairing furniture is often more eco-friendly as it reduces waste, while new furniture can have a larger carbon footprint.

What about the time it takes to repair versus buying new?

Repairs can take time depending on the extent of damage, while buying new can be quicker, but you may need to wait for delivery.
