Often a Facelift is the Answer

Many business owners see the need for new furniture, but feel they don’t have it in the budget. Never-been-used isn’t always necessary. Remanufactured and refurbished furniture looks new, and you can achieve the fresh look at a fraction of the cost of new.

So, how do you determine whether you should 1) buy new, 2) buy refurbished and/or remanufactured furniture or 3) give your own old furniture a facelift?

If you choose to give your own furniture a facelift, there are a few things to consider. Solid wood furniture is almost always worth refinishing. Replacing the upholstery gives a new, bright look to chairs and sofas. Metal cabinets, desks and utility carts can be professionally painted. But if the style, size or functionality isn’t what you need, then consider purchasing refurnished or remanufactured. You’ll be able to replace furniture that no longer meets your needs, without paying the full price of straight-from-the-manufacturer prices.

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. "Blatant self-promotion" is discouraged on SI, and "spam" is not welcome. Please be considerate of your fellow members.
