	Quality of Furniture When buying upholstered furniture, the buyer is in great measure buying hidden assets. There are, of course many things that can be appraised by the eye and the hand, and these we will study first before going into an examination of construction features and other elements under the upholstery covering. First of all, feel the chair or sofa. Does it seem rounded to the touch, with no wood or metal noticeable? This is important, because if you can feel and edge now, it won't be long before it comes through. Push on the upholstery with your finger along the outside arms and the back. Well-constructed furniture never has these areas left hollow; they are webbed or covered with cloth and a layer of cotton is used to soften the frame. Don't be talked into buying a piece of furniture by a pressure salesman. If the department or furniture store has a trained decorator seek his or her advice if you are in doubt about purchasing that piece of leather furniture. Don't go on the assumption that furniture mark-ups are exorbitant and that they are always ways to wheel and deal around furniture prices. For the most part manufacturing high quality leather furniture is "pricey". That is why it is so important to protect the investment in quality. It ultimately isn't about finding a piece of furniture cheap but finding value.
