What’s the difference between furniture restoration and refinishing?
Furniture restoration involves cleaning and minor cosmetic repairs to restore a piece of furniture to its original condition or as close to it as possible. In some cases, restoration may involve refinishing, but the end goal is still to make the furniture look like it did when it was brand-new. Refinishing furniture involves stripping and sanding away the existing finish and then applying a new finish like polyurethane, which may make the item look quite different from the original condition.

I picked up these West Elm Slope Chairs from Marketplace. I’m not sure how the discoloration happened, but I was hoping to restore the leather and even out the color if possible. The original color is more like what you see on the back, which is quite a bit lighter so I’m not sure if that’s achievable. Any input or advice would be appreciated!
