Furniture Quality
Posted by Jim Sutter on Mon, Nov 16, 2009 @ 10:56 AM
Furniture manufactured overseas, while relatively inexpensive, is made to last only a short period of time, compared to furniture manufactured in the United States. Inexpensive upholstered furniture can mask several problems, including poor structure, unsteardy joints and inadequate foam/dacron.
Furniture made the old fashioned way is built to last with nails, screws and glue, not staples. The next time you need a new piece of furniture, ask yourself if you’re buiyng this for a few years and a lifetime in a landfill, or a lifetime of use to pass on to the next generation.
