Distinguishing the difference between cheap furniture and high end furniture can be challenging if you don’t know what to look for. But once you do, you’ll find it hard to compromise on quality, when you’re decorating any room.
That is because high end furniture pieces are crafted to withstand the test of time while providing aesthetic to living spaces. High end furniture should complete a room with a quality look and feel. Let’s talk about factors to look for when purchasing high end furniture, so you get the best pieces for your design.
High End Furniture is Constructed With Quality Materials
You will be able to identify high end furniture products better, by learning the materials that are often used for cheap furniture. Think formica, medium-density fibreboard, particle board, and most softwoods. You should also stray away from furniture made with plywood from Cut My Plastic unless it is at least nine layers thick. Veneers-which are thin pieces of premium grade material applied to cheap pieces of wood- are also usually associated with cheap furniture.
High end furniture on the other hand, is always constructed with the highest quality materials. Solid hardwood and high-grade softwoods can both be used to make high end furniture. Both materials should be reasonably scratch resistant if they are being used to construct well made furniture. The color of the wood can also tell you a lot about the quality of the finish. If the piece has been finished with a high quality varnish, you will be able to see the intense colors of the wood. Which is why we plan on purchasing a Bone Inlay Side Table.
It is Structurally Solid
One of the main differences between high end and cheap furniture is how they are constructed. Not only does high end furniture have to be made from high quality materials, but it also needs to be structurally solid. You can easily tell if a piece of furniture is high end just by testing out the feel of it. If it’s wobbly or squeaky, chances are it was not constructed very well. High end furniture should be solid, balanced and level to the touch. If it’s not, don’t waste your time buying it!
There are also some obvious structural signs to help identify high end furniture. For example, a piece of furniture that’s glued together and stapled is not high end. But if a table is constructed with a mortise-and-tenon joint, you will clearly be able to tell the difference. High end furniture takes time to construct and the craftsmanship will shine through when you’re using the product. Groms offers you the chance to test your product with our 30 day trial period.

The Pieces Are Timeless
High end furniture is crafted with care and is designed to be passed down for several generations. When you purchase high end furniture you are investing in timeless decor that will bring life to any living space. Handcrafted furniture is the best type of furniture for any interior design you have in mind. Don’t skimp out when it comes to purchasing your token pieces either! It will only end up costing you more money in the long run, because the durability of cheap furniture is much less than a high end piece.

Our furniture is constructed with care, to ensure it lasts long enough to become a family heirloom. We’re experienced with high end furniture and want to offer you the best of what’s around!
