Not everyone needs the Rolls-Royce of sofas, but do you know what goes into a quality couch?
In this podcast, Jim Gavriel, of CF Interiors, offers us the knowledge he's gained during his 30 years in the furniture business. He's here to help you select quality residential furniture according to your budget.
CF Interiors is a trade-only furniture store that used to be public facing. They found that the average shopper was overwhelmed by the thousands of options and left in decision paralysis.
Clients now shop happily equipped with the guidance of an experienced designer who narrows thousands of decisions down to a manageable handful.
Don't worry. We aren't going to show you thousands of things in this video. Your eyes can stay safely inside your sockets and your jaw can pop back up.
In this episode we're focusing on upholstery. We'll explain typical upholstery supports, frame construction, fills (fillings/ stuffing inside your cushion), fabrics, and options you have to make your furniture a bit more custom without designing from scratch. We'll also chat about budgets, warranties, and unbelievable reasons things get delayed sometimes.
Come along! We know you're going to learn a few things.
