How much the sofa will be used? Our sofa buying guide coudn’t not omit this topic! The type of sofa will be easier to select when you think about how much you will use your sofa. Are there small children in the house? Or maybe your dog or cat loves to sleep on the sofa? Then you should choose a model upholstered with a suitable fabric that will prevent it from getting dirty or damaged. In our offer, you will find sofas whose coverings feature very good resistance to abrasion, which significantly reduces the risk of damage, and at the same time are extremely soft and silky to the touch. There are also sofas with fabrics covered with a special protective coating, which prevents absorption of liquids. Others can be dry-cleaned. Information about the fabrics can be found in the description of each product on the website.
A Wooden Frame: This is key to a well-made sofa, but there are different frame factors to consider that that can impact durability. Make sure it’s kiln-dried. “All kiln-dried means is that the wood is placed in an oven and dried to the point that it only has about a seven to eight percent moisture content,” Luther M. Quintana, the Operations Manager at Luther Quintana Upholstery, Inc., tells House Beautiful. “Air-dried wood can miss that seven to eight percent metric, thus leaving the wood more prone to shifting and warping. Wood with low moisture content is the best for furniture.” Choose either solid hard wood or engineered wood. Bob Williams, President of Design and Co-Founder of Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, says that hard wood or engineered wood are both great options. Hard wood is pretty straightforward: It’s solid and makes for a sturdy frame. Engineered wood, on the other hand, is essentially “taking a tree and turning it into engineered plywood so that there’s less waste material,” Williams explains. “It does make a very, very strong frame because of its cross banding. They can cut it in and hook it together, so you get a lot of reinforcement that way. And then, any scrap that’s left over gets recycled.”
Some sofas ship fully assembled, some ship with detached legs and separate cushions, and others require more-extensive assembly. Note the sofa’s widest dimension. Some companies, like Sucasa Durban, include the dimensions of the boxes that the components will arrive in, so you can make sure they’ll fit around corners and through doors. You also can usually find out how a sofa ships—in sections that just need joining or completely disassembled—in the company FAQ or by emailing customer service. (And if you can’t find this out, it’s a good sign that you might want to consider a different company.) See extra information at https://sucasadesigns.co.za/.
