Saving money is always a plus, however, some things
shouldn’t be purchased based on the lowest price tag. For example: furniture.
Think of it this way: would you rather buy a few cheap pieces
that will quickly wear out? Or would you rather invest in high quality that
will work and look great for years to come? In the end, it will probably have
been cheaper to invest.
Sure, some pieces of furniture can be great finds at thrift
shops, garage sales, and even on the side of the road with a “FREE” sign taped
on, but there are three key pieces of furniture/furniture sets that should be
treated as investments:
1. A
sofa
A sofa is not only one of the
first things people see when they walk into your home, but it is also a piece
that gets used all the time by everyone,
so quality should be priority. Generally, with the proper care, sofas should
last about 10 to 15 years. Of course that timeframe depends on the amount of
usage and how it’s used. 10-15 years is a very long time to own something that
gets used every day, so it’s important to take that into consideration when
making the decision to buy based on price tag, or quality and longevity.
2. Dining
table and chairs
A dining set is another set of
furniture that gets used every day by everyone. Often time they are also the
first thing people see when they walk in, therefore, purchasing the set should
be carefully thought out based on quality. Another important thing to keep in
mind is that it needs to be durable and easy to clean, as there will be spills,
scratches, and other inevitable accidents.
3.
A
mattress
Paying more for a quality mattress
should be a no-brainer because a quality mattress can improve both your
physical and mental health. Though your mattress may not be seen or used by
everyone, unlike the dining set and sofa, it’s used by you every day/night and
should meet all of your physical needs. On average, your mattress should last
anywhere between 8 to 10 years, again, depending on many elements that can
increase or decrease the longevity of it, so treating it as an investment will
pay off in the long run and benefit you in many ways.
So start saving up your money so you can get the quality furniture from Hennen Furniture that you deserve!
