They are fastened to each other with twine at eight points so
they can work together to give the ultimate sitting or
lying comfort. This process, to get the springs to
be just the right height, all has to be done by hand. That
is why it is only found in the best furniture. The other
types of spring systems-no sag, sinuous wire, drop in spring
units, and zigzag are cheaper to install and much less
comfortable and durable.
Our standard cushion is springdown. It is the top of the line
in quality. Again, think of the coiled springs standing side
by side. These are covered in foam and then wrapped in a blend
down envelope which produces a high crown or curve to the cushion
top that is very luxurious.
The fabric you
choose to cover your furniture is meticulously cut and matched
so that the fabric appears to flow across the furniture.
This is called flow matching and this is a trait that you
can easily observe. It is matched front to back, side to
side and up and down. You can choose any type of complicated
fabric pattern and rest assured the finished piece of furniture
will do it justice. This is really the hallmark of
good furniture.
The final element
of your custom furniture is you! When the piece of furniture
is made just for you, you get to choose all the finishing
details that make it a one of a kind. You can choose
decorative cords or fringes or contrast welting to be placed
either on the cushions, the frame or both. You can choose
from a large array of both stand and premium wood finishes
to compliment your fabric choice and even a nail head trim.
And finally, because we
have all our fabric choices available on the bolt you can see
exactly what you are getting. If you are shopping from fabric
swatches there could be surprises (like colors or motifs that
did not appear in the swatch you were selecting from) that
could ruin your decorating scheme. Our decorators will
gladly take the bolts down and drape them over pieces of furniture
in our store so you can visualize what your room will look
like.
So, come, sit on our furniture, bring your family to sit on our
furniture and let us help you create a room that is just your
style.
We sell upholstered furniture
that is meant to last. This is furniture that you can recover
and recover as you make style changes or move to a new house.
Then, you can leave this furniture to your children instead
of filling up the land fill. A good piece of furniture
is always worth recovering. Choosing classic styles will make
the investment timeless. Then you can express your style with
the fabric, trimmings and decorative pillows you choose to
go with it.
Here are some
criteria for really good quality furniture:
A good quality
frame is made from Kiln-dried hardwood so that the frame
will not warp or split. Also, the frame must be thick enough
to take the wear and tear of years of use. You can test this
by picking up the end of a sofa, for instance, to see if
it is heavy and substantial. Inexpensive furniture
can also be made of hardwood but the frames can be so thin
and lightweight that warping or bowing can still occur. Then
the parts of the frame are held together with corner supports,
screws, double dowels and glue to make sure the joints are
permanently strong.
Eight-way hand
tied springs are used in good quality furniture that will
accommodate a coiled spring. To understand what eight way
hand tied springs are just think of an inner spring mattress
with all the coiled springs standing side by side.
