The sofa can be safely called the main item for which a place is allocated in the living room, which explains the seriousness with which it is necessary to approach the choice of this furniture.

BelNovosti online publication expert designer Yulia Tychino told us which model deserves your attention.

First of all, pay attention to the frame.

It should have a laconic form and be made of wood. MDF and chipboard are not an option.

Try not to consider models with eco-leather upholstery - this material will peel off in 1-4 years. If you can't resist leatherette, choose a car one with an abrasion resistance of at least 100,000 units.

A stylish sofa is one that does not have stones, rhinestones, fringe, ruffles and other cheap fittings.

Now – a few words about the filler. The density of the foam rubber should be at least 30, otherwise you should not count on the durability of the furniture.

And one more important note: try not to buy models with pillows filled with foam waste. Their distinctive features are imitation of "cellulite" and loss of shape over time.
