How can you tell if a couch is good quality?
1 Answer
To tell if a couch is good quality, first try pushing on it. A high-quality piece will feel sturdy and likely won't wobble or creak. Next, consider the materials. Full- or top-grain leather upholstery, solid hardwood frames and high-density foam or hand-tied suspension systems are common features of well-made sofas. You can also read online reviews to find out what previous buyers think of their purchases. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of antique, vintage and contemporary couches.
