BEFORE YOU BUY

Durability and quality should come from a sofa’s bones - a sturdy frame is essential to ensure long-term stability and strength. A solid hardwood frame is the backbone of a robust sofa, while sofas with kiln-dried wood frames, such as beech or oak, tend to last the longest. Check for sturdy joints, too. Well-crafted sofas have dowels, screws and brackets - not just glue. These show care in construction and indicate a higher build quality.

Make sure the sofa comes with a frame warranty of at least 10 years, giving you peace of mind that your investment is built to last. It's also worth checking the repair policy, too, in case of any issues. You want to spend your hard-earned money on furniture that's built to last.

On average, people change their sofa every seven years or so. While this is might well be due to changing trends and interior styles rather than wear and tear, it is still important to choose a sofa that you really love. Some people struggle to decide on a colour, while others pick one that's on-trend or an unusual shade but come to regret their choice. To avoid this, you could opt for a sofa that has loose covers, so you can make quick and easy changes.
