A Story of Repair with the Heart of Woodworking – Charm and Possibilities of Solid Wood


Ohara

Hello, this is Ohara from Hayasta.
As a furniture craftsman, I often receive repair requests from customers. Today, I’d like to share the story of “repairs” and discuss the beauty of solid wood furniture and how repairs strengthen the bond with our customers.


The Art of Furniture Repairs – The Strength and Potential of Solid Wood

In many homes, you’ll find items made from wood—tables, chairs, cabinets, shelves, even toys and utensils. Over time, these cherished items may show signs of wear. Drawers may become stiff, chairs might wobble, or scratches could appear on tabletops.

Solid wood furniture not only gains character as it ages but can also be repaired, making it a truly sustainable option. Scratches and cracks can be fixed with care, allowing these pieces to be enjoyed for many years to come.


Solid Wood vs. Plywood – The Repairability Factor

In recent years, furniture made from plywood and composite materials has become popular due to its cost-effectiveness and sleek appearance. However, these materials are often difficult to repair. When damaged, they are typically discarded rather than restored.

On the other hand, solid wood furniture stands out for its individuality and the possibility of breathing new life into it through repairs. At Hayasta, we focus on repairing and rejuvenating solid wood furniture to extend its lifespan.


The Repair Process – Building Trust with Customers

Before beginning a repair, it’s essential to inspect the item in person. Verbal descriptions alone can lead to misunderstandings. When customers bring their furniture to us, we provide an estimate for the repair, timeline, and costs on the spot. If they’re satisfied, we take the item in for restoration.

For on-site inspections, here’s how the process typically unfolds:

  1. Assessment – We examine the item and determine if it can be repaired.
  2. Quotation – For solid wood items, we provide an estimate that includes travel and repair fees.
  3. Repair – After the item is collected, we complete the restoration by the agreed-upon deadline.

Unfortunately, composite or plywood furniture is often beyond repair. In such cases, we still charge a nominal inspection fee to cover travel expenses.


The Joy of Repairing – Breathing New Life into Furniture

Wood is a living material, changing and adapting over time. Scratches and stains tell a unique story, creating a history that belongs to each piece. At Hayasta, we aim to add a new chapter to that story through our repair services. Restoring your treasured furniture is a way to preserve the memories attached to them while giving them a fresh start.
