Is this couch worth fixing?

I bought a vintage couch for under $500 (manufactured in North Carolina, seems to have good bones). Two problems with it - (1) seat cushions are too soft & can’t get out easily and (2) lots of stains and discoloration
Assuming the seat cushions can be DIYed (readymade foam with Dacron that I can buy online), the steam cleaning estimate itself comes in at $600. No guarantee that all the stains can be removed.
I like the vintage quality of it and bought it in the hope of refreshing it. I did not anticipate my family would hate the extra soft (cloud?) cushions.
Is it worth going through all this cost & effort?

Narwal Flow 2

After much research, I’m inclined to ordering the Narwal Flow 2 for our 2100 sq foot (mostly one level) house. Hardwood floors with area rugs, no kids/pets.
The family room is a step down and the garage is half an inch down and behind a door.
Will this brand and model work for us? What are the negatives I should know about?

Price wise, it’s a smidge under $1 k now for Prime day; does the price get better during July 4th weekend? (Wish Costco sold this model)
Would love to hear your thoughts!

Should I re-stain these QS white oak cabinets?

Loved these kitchen cabinets for 15 years - the matte finish and stain color pick up the flecks beautifully but at the same time feels like a sea of wood.
Should I refinish in natural finish or a lighter stain color? Will never consider painting them.
