GENERAL QUESTIONS

How much does our furniture weigh?

Here is a simple run down of our weights.

  1. Small ottoman 29 lbs +

  2. Armchair 74 lbs +

  3. Loveseat 130 lbs +

  4. Sofa 155 lbs +

  5. Sectional 193 lbs +

  6. Sleeper Sofa Queen 180 -/+

 

What is the weight limit guidelines your furniture?

We follow current industry standards of 275 to 300 lbs per cushion. We recommend our Mesa Collections and the Track collection for stability, longevity and durability. Even tho we go by industry standards, we do not recommend our collection with the turned legs as they may not have the stability of the collections that we recommend.

Where can I donate my old furniture?

We love our city – and there’s a lot of people that would love to have your still useable furniture. We highly recommend the folks at Hope Family Thrift Store – they are the hands and feet of Austin Disaster Relief Network, they really get this stuff into the hands of those who need it most. They have a form you can fill out to schedule a pickup from your home or you can drop it off at their donation site. See their website for more info.

What are the weight limits on our sleeper sofas?

The sleeping weight limit on a sleeper depends on the size of the mattress. However, the following is a good rule of thumb: a twin sleeper holds one person who weighs up to 250 pounds. Full size sleepers hold twice that, supporting two people up to 250 pounds each. Queen sleepers support up to 600 pounds, and King sleepers up to 650 lbs.

What are pet friendly fabrics?

The fabrics that we have available for all our collections go thru strenuous testing at independent testing facilities. They define pet friendly as 50,000+ double rubs. Double rubs are a way to measure the abrasion resistance and durability of a fabric. One back and forth motion counts as one double rub. They also define pet friendly as having a grade of 3.5+ on the pilling scale of 1-5. Pilling is a normal occurrence caused by general wear and tear and does not affect the durability or functionality of the fabric. Pilling may appear more frequently and extensively in the few months of owning your sofa. This may subside once the excess loose fibers move to the surface and get removed. Furniture warranties do not cover the pilling of the fabric. While pilling can be bothersome, it is not considered a fault or defect.

 

What defines a performance fabric?

Same as above but the fabric is a polyester or poly blend.
