Should I restore or replace my old furniture?

I'm trying to decide whether to restore my old furniture or just replace it. What do you think?

It depends on several factors like the condition of the furniture, sentimental value, and your budget. Can you tell me more about the piece?

It's a vintage wooden chair, but it has some scratches and a broken leg.

If it has sentimental value and the wood is still sturdy, restoration might be worth it. However, if repairs are costly, replacement could be better.

What would restoration involve?

Restoration could include sanding, refinishing, and repairing the leg. It can be a rewarding process if you enjoy DIY projects!

And how much would it typically cost to restore versus replace?

Restoration costs can range from $100 to $500 depending on the work needed, while replacement could be anywhere from $200 to $1,000 for a similar chair.
