Top Furniture Problems That You Can Fix on Your Own

Here are some problems that most people face when it comes to their furniture.

What you should know is that these problems can be fixed even without the help of a professional. According to the owner of Urban Patina Crystal Dvorak, fixing furniture at home shouldn't be a very daunting task. In fact, it can be done within the shortest amount of time as possible.

If your chairs have loose rungs of some sort, all you have to do is re-glue them together. Howver, before doing so, you first need to remove the old glue to ensure that the new layer will help stick the loose rungs together.

"Then use a syringe to insert wood glue into the opening in the leg. A syringe lets you get the glue right where it's needed without having to completely remove the rung," she told House Beautiful.

Also, if you are having problems with your wobbly chairs, all you have to do is buy new braces at the hardware store nearest you. A brace should then be added on the part where the leg of the chair meets the seat itself.

Additionally, if you recently noticed that some parts are coming off of the seams of some of your furniture, it's definitely time to fix them.

According to Dvorak, it is also a must to piece the seams together by putting a bracket over the joint where the wood is the thickest.

"Use clamps to pull the seams tight, then drill pot holes through the bracket, drive in your screws, and you're done," she said.
