How to prepare furniture for restoration.
What to do before sending furniture photos or bringing a piece in for restoration review.
Do not strip it first
It is usually better to send the piece as-is so the condition can be reviewed properly.
Take clear photos
Send the front, sides, top, damage, hardware, and measurements.
Think about the outcome
Save finish ideas, room photos, or colors you like so the direction is easier to discuss.
Need direction?
Send photos before you decide.
A few clear photos can answer more than hours of guessing.
