How to tell if a sofa is a refurbished sofa?

　　Sofa refurbishment is currently the most popular thing for people working in the second-hand sofa industry, because it can bring huge profits. On the other hand, this has some disadvantages, that is, many people abandon the principle of honest business and mix refurbished sofas into the sofa market as brand new sofas. Because after the sofa is refurbished, there is basically no sign of refurbishment, but in terms of the value of the sofa itself, there is a certain gap between a refurbished sofa and a brand new sofa, and the two cannot be sold at the same price. This requires us consumers to have a pair of discerning eyes to identify refurbished sofas.

　　First, experience it yourself

　　We need to experience the effect of the sofa in person. Since the refurbished sofa has been used for a period of time, its structure is definitely not as good as the new sofa. Especially when it is shaken vigorously, the refurbished sofa will make some slight noise. But this sound is not too obvious, and you can't hear it if you don't listen quietly.

　　Second, read the instructions

　　As long as the refurbished sofa comes from formal channels, its instruction manual will clearly indicate that it is a refurbished sofa. This is a prerequisite for formal refurbished sofas to enter the market, because these sofas must be supervised by the industrial and commercial departments. If you know that it is a refurbished sofa but still sell it as a new sofa, you will definitely be severely punished once you are discovered by the industrial and commercial departments.

How to distinguish real and fake leather sofas?

Leather sofas can be divided into real leather and imitation leather. Real leather is natural leather, mainly cowhide and pigskin; imitation leather is artificial. The performance and price of the two are quite different, so you should be careful to distinguish them when buying. Natural leather has regular natural pores and leather grain, while imitation leather does not. Even if it does, it is artificial, so it is easier to distinguish. In addition, they can also be distinguished from their cross-sections. Natural leather is made of interwoven leather fibers, while imitation leather does not have this structure.

How to reupholster a sofa:

1. [Wooden Sofa]

When reupholstering the sofa, we must first wipe off the stains and dust on the sofa, and then understand the material of the sofa at home. If it is painted, you can first use sandpaper to remove the paint on the surface, and then repaint it. If the wood is damaged, you must ask a carpenter to repair it.

2. Leather Sofa

If the leather sofa has dust or stains, you can clean it directly without refurbishing it. However, if it is peeling due to long-term use or poor material, it will have to be refurbished. In this case, the price of refurbishment will be more expensive.

3. Fabric Sofa

Fabric sofas are the most popular type of sofa among consumers, because if there are stains on the fabric sofa, it is very easy to maintain. You just need to go to the market to replace a new sofa cover. If the spring of the sofa is deformed, you need to find a master to come to your home to replace the spring.

Matters needing attention when refinishing and reupholstering sofas:

If we choose new leather in the market, we should choose the leather according to our own home decoration style and our own preferences. Don't choose products that are incompatible with the style of the living room, as that will be very ugly.

In modern times, many people want to replace the leather of their sofas after using them for a long time. Therefore, when choosing the leather of the sofa, we should choose the new leather according to the ceiling, doors and windows or the color of the living room, so as not to give people a sense of incongruity.

I believe everyone knows that when refurbishing the sofa, it is best to choose some classic styles, such as: checkered or dark colors, etc. If the living room is relatively small and the color is relatively plain, then we can choose some relatively fresh style leather when selecting.
