If you ask us, it’s a combination of both, but the most important factor is you. Yes. You are the most important part of good furniture. At the foundation of our philosophy is the belief that customers come first. You deserve the furniture that you need and want, and we would like to help you achieve that.
HERE IS HOW TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE BUYING GOOD FURNITURE Good furniture lasts. Bad furniture doesn’t.
When buying wooden furniture, a lot of people are confused between hardwoods and softwoods. The terms do not refer to the hardness of the wood but is a way to differentiate between wood from angiosperm (or deciduous) trees and that from gymnosperm (or coniferous) trees.
Even though hardwoods are generally denser, some hardwoods tend to be softer in composition than softwoods.
While hardwoods are more likely to be found in premium, high-quality furniture, softwood furniture is not necessarily lower in quality.
Denser woods tend to be scratch-resistant and, therefore, more desirable.
A simple way to make sure the furniture is high quality is to test it with your fingernail. If you can draw a visible dent into the top of the furniture with your nail, it’s probably not going to last very long. On the other end of the spectrum are veneers – thin layers of premium wood covering base wood of a lower quality. Veneers are a good way to buy furniture that looks and feels premium without burning a hole in your wallet. However, there is only a certain number of times veneers can be refinished. So make sure you take a little extra care.
Another thing to keep an eye out for is joint construction – how the joints are held together is always a good indication of the quality of the furniture item. Nails, glue and staples are improper construction. The best joint construction employs interlocking dovetail or mortise-and-tenon. Dowels and screws make for decent, reliable joint constructions as well.
Well-made furniture comprises of sturdy frames that lie even with the floor without creaking, wobbling or twisting. A creaking sound is a good indication of bad furniture.
The importance of good furniture cannot be emphasized enough. Engaged properly, furniture can improve mood, boost productivity and increase satisfaction.
