ADVICE:

People who score in this range typically have pieces they aren't sentimental about and may have purchased second-hand. Investing in a quality restoration and its longevity is a decision to be made based on one's love for their piece, its uniqueness, any potential value it may hold, and whether or not its quality justifies expert level restoration or repair. If your piece is easily replaceable and you aren't meaningfully attached to it, we recommend donating it and finding another comparable piece.

ADVICE:

People who score in this range are often very fond of the piece(s) they want to restore because of its beauty, quality, and in some cases, its historic value.
Ask yourself, 0-10, do I treasure it enough to invest in its longevity? Another point to consider is the cost of restoration against the replacement cost. If it isn't something you could easily replace and you really like it, then you might consider restoration.
