Top 5 Furniture Repair Stores in Ottawa, Ontario

Est. Reading Time: 5 Mins

When it comes to your furniture, you want to make sure you can use it comfortably until you can no longer use it anymore. Maybe the cushions are too lumpy or some of the upholstery is ripping apart or there are stains you just can’t remove. 

Some of these factors can make your furniture feel undesirable, which would potentially incentivize you  to get something new. 

But what if you could fix the undesirable parts of your furniture and turn it into something brand new? What if instead of throwing away your old furniture, it can be restored and look brand new?

Luckily for you, there are plenty of stores in Ottawa that can help you with this! While La-Z-Boy does provide certain furniture repair services with our products, thanks to our Lifetime Warranty and Exclusive Protection Plan, we realize that we are not meant for everyone.
