Beautiful Chairs and Recliners

Looking to redo your room? Many people come in looking to redo a room, and want the comfort of reclining furniture, but do not want the ‘look’ of a recliner.

Sofas Don't Have to be Brown

Wood Framing of a Sofa

Sofa Construction There are so many components to a sofa, but probably the most important part is the frame. Because the frame holds all the parts together and takes the brunt of the use, it needs to be put together well to last. Today well built frames are made from 1 1/4″ laminated wood that is made up of many layers of kiln dried wood. They place the layers with the wood grain going in opposite directions so it eliminates expansion and contraction of the wood pieces. Th
