How to judge quality of a wooden sofa?


 
Home Improvement,Interior Design

If you are looking to buy sofas online or offline, you should know how to judge the quality of a sofa. Even a cheaply made royal sofa can look great – comfortable and stylish. But it is the quality of all construction elements that go in to the design that will decide how your sofa will wear with regular use and withstand the test of time. Good quality sofas will have a durable frame, comfortable seating support, good cushion filling to retain shape and high quality fabric used that makes it last wear and tear without showing it outwardly.

The Frame – When it comes to wooden sofa, the frame will decide how long the sofa will last, how stable it will be, how well it supports the weight of large sized adults and how it performs over a period of time. The best framework is made of solid wood, which has been kiln dried. Keep in mind that softwoods will not be durable. Additionally, not all hardwoods make for the best wooden sofa either. It is the kiln drying process that ensures all moisture is removed from the wood, enabling it to retain its shape and stability over a long period of time. Also, it isn’t just the quality of the wood that affects the frame, but also the construction details and techniques used, especially at the joints. Generally plywood and particleboard frames are inferior, especially if they are held together with staples. However, additional layers of plywood may help reinforce the frame, so construction matters as much as material in wooden sofa.

The Seating Support – The seating support of every sofa could be different. However, irrespective of whether it is a single seater sofa, double seater sofa or a three seater sofa, the support will be stable and durable with high tensile strength. Test the quality to ensure that the new sofa you are considering doesn’t sag in the middle, especially the three seater sofa. It should offer adequate support to the back and thighs and be comfortable.

The Filling – Once the frame and seating support have been tested, the filling will add a sense of comfort to your wooden sofa. A seat that is too soft will sink in too deep; making it harder to get out of the sofa and making you exert more pressure on your knees. However, on the other hand, if the royal sofa has hard cushions, it will fail to offer adequate comfort and support for back and thighs. Also, it will not be comfortable to sit on for longer durations of time. Look for a cushion filling that is neither too hard, nor too soft.

The Fabric – Not all fabrics are designed equal when it comes to upholstery and for a wooden sofa to last for years to come, you require something that lasts long and looks new and fresh at the same time. Fabrics like Microsuede or ultrasuede are unbeatable for stain resistance. Another resilient option is cotton velvet, while linen and cotton canvas are both great too. Beware of gorgeous high maintenance fabrics like silk velvet because when stained, these are almost impossible to clean.
