How to determine a quality upholstery if you see one

There are a lot of sofas and furniture upholstery services in the market. When on the lookout for quality craftsmanship, here are some tips to help you locate an upholstery connoisseur in no time:

• Look for something handcrafted using traditional methods
• Hardwood frames (such as beechwood) are high quality
• Cheaper sofas are made using softer woods such as pine, cedar and redwood, which are more likely to warp
• The frame must be joined with dowlings and screws, not just glue
• The not so sturdy particle boards are used for cheap couches
• High tensile steel springs are preferable
• Webbing or mesh cab sag over time
• Look for high resiliency foam, cotton padding and heavy fiber fill
