  • Durability. Even the most sophisticated model of the sofa will serve you for more than a dozen years.
  • The perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality. Italian manufacturers have found an approach to any buyer, producing products that meet the most diverse requirements - from the ever-current classics to restrained minimalism.

The high quality of products is explained by the fact that furniture making in Italy is very often hereditary: families have been engaged in this business for many generations, passing on the preserved centuries-old traditions and secrets of manufacturing technology. The name of the company, created by years of experience, inspires confidence in customers and does not allow to reduce the fixed level of quality.Furniture companies use high-quality fittings, expensive textiles, painting and fine woodcarving.

Of course, such furniture will have a fairly high cost, however, now there are many factories specializing in the manufacture and more budget options. The high price range contributes to the appearance of not very high quality fakes. In order not to buy a fake, choosing a sofa, you should pay attention to such moments:

  • The presence of a certificate. It shows the country of origin - Italy, as well as the address of the company. If none of this is indicated, then it is clearly a fake.
  • Low cost furniture. The price of luxury furniture made from quality materials includes not only the cost price, but also the seller's mark-up, transportation costs, export tax. In sum, a fairly high cost.
  • Availability of warranty period on all furniture and even on its separate parts speaks about the reliability of the manufacturer.

  • Availability of catalogs with collections of furniture. The catalog should have bright and clear images printed on high-quality paper. Photocopies or printouts of pictures on separate sheets of paper is another sign that the showroom is clearly represented by furniture not made in Italy.
  • Information about the manufacturer's factory. The seller-consultant should, if necessary, provide the buyer with information about the manufacturer of the furniture, as well as methods and technologies for the production of goods.
  • Availability of samples of materials from which the furniture was made. The buyer has the right to ask for a sample of a certain type of fabric or accessories, from which it is made interesting interior items, to consider a closer look.

The first option is ideal in all respects, but the most expensive.Nut, oak, maple are considered to be strong, representatives of coniferous trees are a bit worse, however they also have lower cost. Sofas with a cast metal frame - something average in price and quality between a chipboard and solid wood.

The convenience of sitting on the couch directly depends on what is inside the sofa. Italian masters use many different fillers, combining them with each other. Taking into account both positive and negative sides, the buyer himself sets priorities in the choice of a particular sample. There are different types of fillers: spring systems (the most expensive type, but durable), sinteponovy (hollofayber - elastic and highly elastic), down (as a pillow filler), foam (the most popular and inexpensive option, has a small mass, perfectly retains its shape).

The materials used for upholstering furniture are incredible - leather, velor, silk, suede, chenille and others.Modern furniture stores are increasingly beginning to work directly with Italian furniture factories, so that their customers can choose not only the sofa model, but also order a separate look for its upholstery.

For example, if there are pets in the house, you should abandon the sofas, finished with flock, silk, velvet, jacquard. Samples from eco-leather, chenille, tapestry are suitable for families with children. Leather sofas that are highly resistant to moisture, unpretentious in care, but over time are subject to cracking and do not tolerate fire will fit perfectly into the office.
