Furniture Selecting

Well designed and skillfully crafted furniture is an investment.  You want to select pieces that meet your needs and are well engineered so that you get many years of enjoyment from them.

Think about your brief and select wisely.

Think about your style - what style do you prefer and what is the style of your home?  What other pieces of furniture will it be placed with?

Think about its role - how do you live and what role will this piece play in your home?

Think about who is going to use the furniture and how they like to sit.  Two pieces of furniture may look similar but can feel completely different due to factors such as the seat & back cushion fills, seat height & depth and angle.  The usage occasion e.g. everyday living, TV viewing or entertaining, will affect the sort of furniture that will be right for you.

Check the product specification.  Weight can often be a guide as to how well a piece of furniture is made.  Unfortunately, with upholstered furniture, it's what you can't see that is most important - how the frames are constructed and what materials are used.  Ask what the furniture is made from and what warranty is offered.
