Tips To Buy Furniture

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I just went to furniture mall recently. I spend my whole afternoon choosing few piece of furniture there. I realize the price of the furnitures in FC is very steep. Examples : they try to adverstise with a sign board telling customers that they are selling a L Shaped Fabric Sofa for $5999 but after discount it is $3999. Do you think it's worth the price. After talking to their Senior Salesman (name DW). I realized the sofa is fabricate in China. Oh my god. Fabric sofa made in China cost $3999. I try to ask for further discount and he's willing to lower the price to $2700. Haha i nearly laugh until my FOOT came off. Do you guys know why? He seems so genuine in giving me further discount until $2700. He is taking me for a fool. It cost less than SGD$1000 to fabricate a L Shape Fabric Sofa in China. I can get a top grade leather Sofa with $2700 budget on hand. Basically I'm trying to tell serious furniture buyer to ask for the country of origins where the sofas made and the fabrics used. Do not just buy sofas just because of design and mechanism. Do look into fabrics and most importantly- quality in terms of what wood they used to make the sofa frame and how much weigh can it withstand. Lastly always short list a few selections of furniture and make comparision before you decide which one you wanna buy.

i tink the manufacture origin is gettin somewat less important cos u and I noe alot / most of the stuffz nowsaday are from ROC. As long as the QC is good, you cant really complain much. I definitely agree with you tat we should not buy base on design / mechanism but the wood quality in sofa....how to ascertain?? FC aside, how about other popular brands like Lorenzo, Cellini, XYQT, Mondi, Montella etc etc....Will they say material ''A'' but on the day of deliver, gave you ''B''? If material B is not too poor as compared to A, how would you know, how can you tell? I really dunno......
