How to buy a new leather or fabric sofa
So, its time to start looking around for your new sofa. There are many questions that need to be asked including:
- Leather or fabric?
- Hardwood frame or metal frame – does it matter?
- Is foam seating better than sprung seating?
- What is this “Bonded leather” that people are trying to sell me?
- Is there that much difference in the quality of fabric used in sofas?
- Surely all leather is the same…isn’t it?
- I’m sure if I pay more for a lounge the quality will be greatly superior.
- Warrantees and guarantees.
- Configuration flexibility, or do I tolerate a lounge that doesn’t suit my space for the confidence of buying from a major retailer?
- Is the quality of overseas manufactured lounges and sofas that much worse than locally manufactured?
- What are the care instructions for both leather and fabric lounges?
- Why the big difference in prices between suppliers?
- Buying online appears to be cheaper, why?
