Bring tired furniture back to life
Good furniture is built to last, and most of what looks like a write-off is really a few hours of skilled work away from being solid again. A re-glued joint, fresh foam, or new fabric can add years to a piece you already know and like.
Reupholstery is the most common task on Domesty: sofas and armchairs that are structurally fine but sagging, stained, or dated. A skilled hand can strip it back, rebuild the seat, and finish it in a fabric you choose, often for a fraction of buying new.
The other big group is solid-wood repair: wobbly tables, split chair legs, sticking drawers, and surface scratches on wardrobes and cabinets. These are quick wins for the right person and rarely need the piece to leave your home.
Before work starts, agree whether the repairer supplies materials like foam and fabric or you buy them, and get the price fixed in the chat. Release payment through escrow once you've checked the finish in good light.
