Quality furniture is one of the most important investments one makes for their living space. Choosing high quality furniture is more than just about fancy labels or designer pieces, but a guarantee in itself whether furniture Yogyakarta will last or not. Good pieces typically last for decades; even a lifetime. But how can you determine whether your home furnishings are quality stuff or not? 

Discerning quality furniture Yogyakarta 

One of the first steps to get the best furniture quality is by getting none other than solid hardwood. So rule of thumb: choose solid wood furniture! Materials of the type of the wood itself do speak loudly when it comes to the quality of furniture. Note that the type of wood for your furniture Yogyakarta needs to match with your needs, especially since budget is often an important factor in purchasing furniture. For instance, you may not need teak wood if your furniture needs is for the indoor, and you don’t have concerns over how your furniture will take impact from everyday life (kids and pets highly influence this). You can therefore opt for more reasonably-priced pieces constructed by solid wood just as well. 

Furniture made of plywood 

What if solid hardwood is way over what you can afford? Solid hardwood furniture is always the first thing we recommend, especially for pieces that see the most everyday use and take the most impact. Such pieces include bed frames, sofas and other kinds of upholstered furniture, dining tables, and work desk, among other things. These are the types of furniture yogyakarta pieces that you won’t want to compromise. Outside of those pieces, it’s wise to save on your budget and purchase cheaper alternatives to solid wood. Furniture pieces made of at least 8 layers of plywood is a good start, and always avoid those made of particleboard. 

Take a look at the joints of your furniture

Aside from the materials and the type of wood you require, construction of the furniture itself is something that cannot be overlooked. Looking at the joints can be one of the most straightforward methods to determine whether a piece is of good quality or not. Some of the best, most durable furnitures have the joints dovetailed, or has mortise and tenon joints. A good quality alternative to this is furniture that is screwed. Avoid those that are nailed.

Determining quality can depend on the type of furniture

You can’t see the joints nor the frame when you buy upholstered furniture like sofa and armchairs. It does make determining the quality more tricky. On a different case, if you’re buying chests or drawers, you need to pay attention to the construction of the sliding parts. Does it have metal glides that are affixed solidly? Those are only some of the examples you needed to pay attention to for different furniture Yogyakarta before you commit to them.
