Quality Bedroom Furniture
Good quality bedroom furniture is properly constructed to last for years. The price tag is not always an indicator of well-constructed furniture. Sometimes it can be difficult to decipher whether you are paying for quality or just a name brand. Here are a few features you should look for when shopping for your bedroom furniture:
You don't want to see visible glue on any of your furniture. That's a bad sign. Furniture constructed with particleboard, pressed wood and fiberboard are also lower quality. Furniture constructed with hardwoods, which come from decidous trees, are much sturdier than softwoods.
Nightstands and Dressers:
Both of these furniture pieces contain drawers, and what's important about the drawers is how they are put together. Look for dovetail construction, which means the drawers interlock using finger-like pieces. This will ensure that the drawer does not fall apart. In between the drawers, a good feature to have is dust proofing. This is a piece of wood that separates each drawer and is designed to prevent dust from building up between the drawers and then falling down to the bottom of the furniture.
Look at the back on these pieces to see if it is attached with staples. Seeing staples is a sign that something was made poorly. So are tiny nails. Furniture made with staples and tiny nails will not last a long time.
Top quality bedroom furniture drawers should have metal slides and stops. Wood on wood does not glide and is subject to wearing out. The best quality drawers will have reinforcing blocks attached at an angle.
Beds:
Does the bed provide enough support for the box spring? If the only box spring support just runs around the frame of the bed and there are no bars going across the bed, then the mattress will sag or even fall through the bed frame.
Our best quality bedroom furniture brands include Aico Furniture, Pulaski Furniture, Fairmont Designs, Parker House and Abbyson Living and you'll find them all at the lowest prices available online. When furniture shopping, most people are looking for the best deals; however, buying poorly made furniture could cost you more in the long run if you have to replace it in just a few years. Your best bet is to look for the best prices on higher quality, which can last several decades. Furniture is an investment and you want to get the best return you can.
