4 THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A COUCH - THE GUARANTEE

Before addressing the actual claims made by various sellers and their authenticity, let’s talk about the Terms and Conditions of Sales (T&C’s). Does the shop you intend to buy from have written T&Cs. If not, how do you expect them to enforce their guarantee claim? T&C’s should be dated (i.e Version 4; updated 18.08.18). Otherwise, the seller can change them as they please; and what was true at the time of purchase isn’t any more when you claim your warranty. Most reputable ma

4 THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A COUCH - THE FABRIC

I would like to start this post by deconstructing claims that pollute our trade. Have you ever seen the reference to “PU Leather”, “Nappa Leather” or “Bonded Leather”?

Many cheap products are made using recycled pallet wood in most part of the couch. The main concern here is the thickness of the wood and therefore its strength; 19 instead of the 25cm, the minimum required to manufacture

4 THINGS TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING A COUCH

We often get asked questions such as; what type of foam do you use? Or what type of wood is the frame made of? Is this leather? What is the guarantee? Although these are legitimate questions in the buying process, I sincerely doubt the answer to these questions or claims should be taken for granted. Firstly, most re-sellers have no clue of the material that are used in the manufacturing process and will simply answer with a satisfactory reply; something you as a customer want

Apart from the international brand of mattresses mainly distributed in chain stores, there is a large number of independent manufacturers who supply mattresses of equal quality.
