How We Calculate This

This tool uses a Depreciation Curve based on your frame quality:

  • Tier 1 (Plywood/Particle Board): Looses 80% of value in 5 years. Disposable.
  • Tier 2 (Solid Wood): Looses value steadily over 10-12 years.
  • Tier 3 (Kiln-Dried Hardwood): Retains value longest (20+ years). Often worth repairing.
"The golden rule: Never spend more on a repair than the furniture is currently worth on the resale market, unless it's a family heirloom." - The Upholsterer's Handbook
