  • Sofa Buying Guide
    Sofa Buying Guide With limitless options available, finding the perfect sofa can feel like a huge investment. Learn more about sofa construction, sizes, fabrics, styles, and care. Choosing a new sofa is one of the most daunting furniture purchases you will make. Ideally, a sofa is one of those furniture pieces that will grow with you from one life stage to the next. With limitless options available, finding the perfect sofa can feel like a huge investment, so it is important to choose wisely when searching for the perfect sofa that will complement your lifestyle and home. Sofa Construction The biggest factor that will determine both price and quality is the way your sofa is constructed. A well-built sofa is a good investment that ensures a comfortable place to sit in, and will endure after rigorous daily use. The Frame Just like a good foundation to a house, the quality and strength of your sofa's frame material is essential to the longevity of your sofa. Kiln-Dried Hardwood Benefits: Long considered the hallmark of quality, kiln-dried hardwood will remain sturdy and strong for decades.Kiln-dried hardwood is the most durable, and will retain its shape over time and use. Good to Know: Drying hardwood (such as oak, ash, or beech) in a kiln, removes approximately 90-95% of moisture from the wood, which prevents warping and bowing. Avoid softwood even if it is kiln-dried (such as cedar, pine, or spruce). Kiln-dried hardwood frames are made from about 2-inch thick hardwood. Kiln-dried hardwood frames come with a higher price tag.

WOODWORK FLOORS FURNITURE Refinishing Woodwork, Floors and Furniture Rizpah A . Douglass Because of shortages of materials and lack of labor and time, many families have not made needed repairs around the house. Even though most farm families will still be exceedingly busy, some of the needed materials may soon be available again, the refinishing of woodwork, floors or furniture will doubtless be given an important place in home activities and the directions that follow will prove useful. General Directions for Refinishing Woods Remove old finish. Best results are obtained when all the old finish is removed, especially if the finish is in a poor condition. The main objects are to remove it without injuring the wood and with as little labor as possible. Commercial paint and varnish remover may be more expensive but it is less likely to injure the wood than is home-made remover. Commercial removers are inflammable. Do not use them in a closed room or around a fire.
