Furniture quality and should i re upholster my furniture

Furniture quality
Consider keeping that couch or stuffed chair if the furniture remains sturdy with a quality frame.

Typically, frames last longer in chairs and sofas built 10 to 15 years ago or longer. Old furniture is always better built, .

Many manufacturers lowered their standards in recent years by using woods previously unsuitable for furniture frames,  Manufacturers often assemble frames with staples and fast-drying epoxy, as opposed to older furniture, built with strong hardwood and screws. Screws last longer because they don’t loosen as easily as staples.

Replace a couch or cushioned chair if the frame seems damaged, she says.

Special inspections shouldn’t be needed to notice if your couch or chair frame is falling apart.

You notice by sitting on it   If springs start to pop, if the backboard is breaking, you know it.

If the frame remains strong, re upholstery gives consumers a chance to restore their couch with more control over the look and shape of the cushions.

You can have round cushions, squared cushions, different fabrics. You get to update it to what you want it to look like. It becomes a bit more custom.
