Introduction

Extend the life cycle of your beloved antique furniture with this repair guide. In this case the wooden runner that holds the drawer split in two. Since it is dated, the drawer does not rest on a metal track that can be easily replaced and reinstalled, like its modern counterparts. Antique pieces hold meaning and years of history to its owners. Our repair guide allows for a longer life cycle as the wood is still in great condition.
