As the saying goes, ‘You never have a second chance to make a first impression.’ In customer-facing businesses like some offices or in the hospitality sector, the first impression on customers is often made by your decor and furniture. With this in mind, it is shocking that some business owners neglect their commercial furniture.
Whether it is a boardroom table and chairs, restaurant chairs, or bar stools, regular maintenance and occasional commercial furniture restoration can extend the lifespan of pieces by up to 15 years.
An extended lifespan is just one benefit of commercial furniture repair and restoration. This blog explores other key advantages.
It is no surprise that money is a core concern for businesses. Fortunately, commercial furniture restoration is often more cost-effective than purchasing and replacing (unless you go for cheap alternatives that generally do not last longer than a year or so of heavy use). Additionally, consider the disposal fees for sending old furniture to the landfill.
Unlike depreciating assets like vehicles, some old commercial furniture, such as bar furniture in old pubs, can gain value over time. Restoring and refurbishing such pieces preserves its valuable wood and beautiful natural grain. Not to mention, opting for bar furniture restoration also preserves sentimental value and memories.

A strong, cohesive brand is vital for building trust with customers. Investing in furniture upkeep, whether for boardroom table restoration or bar furniture repair, strengthens your business’s image.
Restaurant chairs and tables with stunning appearance create a comfortable, stylish dining environment. Freshly painted restaurant chairs enhance a modern theme. For rustic or classic brands, French polishing fosters a welcoming environment and encourages repeat business.
Business owners are always juggling multiple responsibilities. The last thing they want is to be troubled by commercial furniture that is out of action for long periods of time while being replaced.
Commercial furniture repair and restoration is usually less disruptive. Kilmister Furniture Restoration can work around your needs to minimise downtime. To do this, we can work in small batches to remove only small quantities of furniture at a time to be worked on. We provide pick up and delivery and fast turnaround times when operating like this.
For larger jobs, Kilmister Furniture Restoration can work on-site to complete restorations and repairs quickly. Both options are faster and more convenient than buying and installing new in most cases. By keeping existing furniture, you can also easily ensure that materials and colours still match your specific preferences.
Customers increasingly demand that businesses operate sustainably. Aotearoa New Zealand creates 17.49 million tonnes of waste annually, a staggering amount for such a small country.
Given the size of a boardroom table, or a large quantity of restaurant chairs, keeping commercial furniture out of landfills has a large role to play in reducing waste. Contributing to a cleaner country enhances your sustainable image, attracting eco-conscious customers and boosting business. Doing right by the environment is certainly worth shouting from the rooftops!
Another factor to consider is how commercial furniture repair and restoration save raw materials and energy that is required to manufacture and create new furniture. Looking after what you already have really is a win-win as it doesn’t promote excess manufacturing.
Though Kilmister Furniture Restoration encourages maintaining existing furniture, we are realistic that this is not always feasible. We are an honest bunch and will tell you if we think commercial furniture restoration is not the right option for you. If you are unsure, either message us or read our blog on how to know whether to replace or repair furniture.
