F.A.Q.
Where to place a sofa?
The size, space, surrounding furniture, and functional aspects of a room all factor into sofa placement. For example, you always want the sofa flush against the wall in smaller rooms to maximize space.
But in a larger room, you can centralize a couch and build the room around it. Where there are focal points such as a TV or fireplace, orient your sofa toward them.
Other things to consider when choosing where to put a couch are how smoothly traffic can flow around it and room for side tables.
How can you assess the quality of a sofa?
To assess quality, always start with the frame. A high-quality sofa will have a frame made from metal or kiln-dried hardwood. Then, look at the joints to ensure they're fitted or screwed tightly with no loose or moving parts.
The suspension also matters: eight-way hand-tied springs are a sign of the best quality. But sinuous spring is also reliable.
Next, examine the cushioning (does it have high-density foam?) and upholstery (leather, fabric, or synthetic?) to understand how durable and resilient the coach will be. Finally, sit down and check for comfort!
