Before starting any refurbishment process, the most important thing is to consider whether the product is worth refurbishing. If the product has a lot of defects, is missing basic elements, is rotten or needs a lot of processing, may not be worth refurbishing because it is already in an advanced process of degradation. Do not confuse the term refurbishment with restoration. Basically, the restoration process brings the same product back to life in the same shape and detail as it was originally designed, replacing for example legs that have rotted, handles that have broken and keeping the same color tones. Reconditioning refers to the creation of a new product, with a different look, color, or shape according to preference.
