Make it personal without making it generic
Ask which wear marks, finish changes, labels, and family repairs the owner wants preserved.
Tie the assessment card to a clearly marked temporary chair rather than the unsafe one.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- Plan safe transport and a clear temporary storage location for the chair.
- Skill
- Structural furniture repair requires appropriate joinery knowledge and careful clamping.
- Maintenance
- Keep the repairer's use and inspection notes with a photo of the chair's underside.
- Accessibility
- Confirm the repaired seat height, arms, stability, and transfer needs still suit the intended user.
- Sustainability
- Assess repair before replacement and preserve serviceable wood when responsible.
- Timing
- Remove the chair from use immediately and schedule repair without inventing a holiday deadline.
