Now we are giving you a few more extra tips if you’re looking for a living room sofa.

How To Know It’s A Quality Sofa:

Sit down and see how it feels. Quality sofas should feel solid and heavy and when it comes to the cushions, the denser the foam, the heavier it is and the longer it will last. It’s also important to make sure the joints are fitter with corner blocks that are not stapled but glued and screwed into place. The legs of the sofa should be part of the frame and not just attached to it.

How To Make It Work With Your Room:

Small Living Room?
