How to Avoid Cheap Furniture That Won't Last

Is today's furniture built as well as furniture from years ago?

A lot of times it is, like this Mayo Furniture. Mayo Furniture we've been carrying for 30 years, and I can count on one hand how many problems we've had with the frames, almost none.

We buy solid wood chairs Made in America, probably sold 200,000 chairs the last 20 years, less than 10 have had a problem.

So today's furniture quite often is built as well as furniture built 30 years ago. At the same time, there's a lot of stores selling cheap imported furniture that looks like good furniture. They've taken all the guts out of it. It looks like a great value. You get it home, it turns into junk.

So buyer beware. Be careful what you're buying. Make sure you find out the country of origin, how it's made, how long it's going to last, what the consumer's opinion of that sofa is.

Buy quality Made in America furniture, Gallery Furniture. No worries, you'll enjoy it for a long, long time.
