Council of the editorial office
Before removing the old upholstery and trim, the external wooden sofa parts should be examined. If there are any damage or defects on them, they must be eliminated. Moreover, if there is a little damage, it can be done, not even disassembled furniture.
To eliminate more serious damage, such as chips and cracks, we will need to purchase a putty to the tree in the construction store, corresponding to the furniture tone, and gently apply it to small portions to the place of damage.
