Furniture Deluxing

Keeping Your Furniture Looking Like New - by Mike Bowman

While the right furniture can add personality, enjoyment, and functionality to your home, it most likely will not be the least expensive purchase you ever make. Furniture is a major purchase just like your car and major appliances. Like those other things you want to be able to extend the life of your furniture and keep all of it in a condition that you can regularly enjoy.

These major purchases make our lives better. They can provide lots of enjoyment when they are functioning the way we need them to. However, the reality is that all major purchases that we make and expect to last an extended period of time require routine maintenance.

Most of us have had to call for help with our larger possessions from time to time. There are repair people for the refrigerator, furnace, roof, and just about everything else.

One group you may need to rely on some day are the craftsmen that repair furniture. Furniture craftsmen are different from most other repairmen, because they often have an opportunity to make your furniture look or function better than new. The difference is what furniture craftsman call "deluxing" versus repairing.

For example, if the hose from your washer is leaking, the plumber replaces the hose. The washer is repaired and begins to function just like it used to before the leak. However, if the leg on your coffee table is chipped the craftsman has the ability to take care of the chipped leg and much more. He can also remove the scratches and the slight wobble you have noticed. He has brought the condition of the table to a "like new" condition. That is called deluxing.

Additionally, a furniture craftsman will be able to trouble shoot the issues and find the sources of problems that aren't so obvious. This is important and allows a craftsman to order the appropriate parts or upgrades that will return older furniture to a like new condition.

Roomful Express Furniture has a staff of professionally trained craftsmen that provide furniture deluxing. While this service is provided for free to any customer who has a warranty on their furniture it is also available to everyone else at reasonable rates. When you shop for any service you are never sure what to expect if you have never used a company before. Do you really know what level of quality you will receive when picking someone out of the yellow pages, for example?

Just let us know what you need done and we will be happy to have our craftsmen assess the problems, make suggestions, and deluxe your furniture.
