Question
Is there an easy way a layman - non expert can tell if the quality of upholstered furniture is good or bad. Just by looking? Is there a rule of thumb?
Yes, if you are not certain about the quality of a new piece of upholstered furniture there is one rule of thumb that may help you determine the quality. Quality upholstered furniture is heavy, a cheap, poorly made piece of upholstered furniture is often very light in weight. Good quality furniture always weighs heavy.
I hope this helps.
