What does Quality finishing mean? 

Furniture finishing refers to the final process applied to wood or upholstered furniture that enhances its appearance, protects the materials, and defines its overall character.  It includes sanding, staining, sealing, painting, distressing, polishing and applying protective topcoats such as a lacquer, varnish or oils.  A premium upholstery may have an extra topical layer that makes spills easy to wipe off, keeps the color from dulling if in direct sunlight, and withstands tears, warping, and peeling.

How it effects you?

Custom furniture offers the consumer numerous ways for the craftsmen to build a cosmetically functional piece with a finish that matches your personal style and home environment.  Using a quality finish and premium upholstery will enhance the purpose of the piece, elevate your overall experience and lengthen the life of the furniture, where you don’t have to worry about replacing it for the rest of your life.

Why it’s important

Quality finishes and premium upholstery lengthen the lifetime of custom furniture.  It does not effect the functionality of the base of the product, or the durability or the joints and tendons, or the way it is manufactured, but it is important for the finishing touches of the materials that make up the product.  The materials themselves are of quality construction when it comes to custom furniture, and when you add the finishing touches, it accents, highlights, strengthens, brightens and characterizes your furniture.
