Is the sofa to be used only for sitting or also for sleeping? Anyone planning to purchase a sofa should answer the question: is the sofa to be used only as a seat, or also as a place to sleep? A convertible model will be perfect for those who want to use this piece of furniture as a bed alternative on a daily basis. It is a good choice for studios and small interiors. Certainly, it will also work well in any other flat where guests often stay overnight, regardless of its square meterage. On the other hand, a convertible model is a type of sofa which will come in handy in houses with a separate guest bedroom. It is worth noting that every sucasadesigns.co.za sofa comes with information on whether or not it has a sleeping function, so you can easily distinguish between them. Whether it’s a two-seater sofa, a three-seater sofa or a corner sofa, you can find a model available in each option in our range.
A Wooden Frame: This is key to a well-made sofa, but there are different frame factors to consider that that can impact durability. Make sure it’s kiln-dried. “All kiln-dried means is that the wood is placed in an oven and dried to the point that it only has about a seven to eight percent moisture content,” Luther M. Quintana, the Operations Manager at Luther Quintana Upholstery, Inc., tells House Beautiful. “Air-dried wood can miss that seven to eight percent metric, thus leaving the wood more prone to shifting and warping. Wood with low moisture content is the best for furniture.” Choose either solid hard wood or engineered wood. Bob Williams, President of Design and Co-Founder of Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, says that hard wood or engineered wood are both great options. Hard wood is pretty straightforward: It’s solid and makes for a sturdy frame. Engineered wood, on the other hand, is essentially “taking a tree and turning it into engineered plywood so that there’s less waste material,” Williams explains. “It does make a very, very strong frame because of its cross banding. They can cut it in and hook it together, so you get a lot of reinforcement that way. And then, any scrap that’s left over gets recycled.”
Some sofas ship fully assembled, some ship with detached legs and separate cushions, and others require more-extensive assembly. Note the sofa’s widest dimension. Some companies, like Sucasa Durban, include the dimensions of the boxes that the components will arrive in, so you can make sure they’ll fit around corners and through doors. You also can usually find out how a sofa ships—in sections that just need joining or completely disassembled—in the company FAQ or by emailing customer service. (And if you can’t find this out, it’s a good sign that you might want to consider a different company.) See even more details at https://sucasadesigns.co.za/.
