Sometimes it is more profitable and cheaper raw upholster not planed boards with a cloth, or simply do not buy it.

Most foreign producers completely cover the visible parts of the frame. For them it is – a rule of etiquette.

It should inspire you to trust (not less than 40mm. On the carrier side). Pay attention to the presence of knots. They should be no more than 2 cm in diameter and should not be much (knots weaken the rigidity of timber). The number of knots and their size determine the grade of wood. To determine material frame – lift chair (sofa can be a mechanism of transformation, which is much heavier it). If you did it, therefore, the frame is made of plywood or solid wood. Living with a framework of CPD, you will feel the weight. And if the couch is also a box for clothes … Move furniture so you will be hard enough, but to raise her (without the help of friends and relatives) you just can not.
