14 Questions to Ask When Buying Furniture

When it comes to buying furniture, it is important to ask yourself and a salesperson some very important questions as you consider your investment. Take your time, and do not buy furniture in a hurry. You don&#;t want to be stuck with an impulse buy, do you? Here is a list of questions to ask yourself and a salesperson as you begin the furniture buying process. 

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit our website.

  1. How much space do I have and what is it used for? The first thing to do is take a good look at the space you are furnishing and taking precise measurements. Look at how you and your family use the space, as well as how often this piece of furniture will be used. Gathering these details will help you and your salesperson find the best selection of furniture for your home.
  2. Which colors do I gravitate towards? Take a look at the current colors of your space, as well as the colors that make you happy. If you plan to update the colors of the room, what colors are in the running and what furniture colors would complement them?
  3. What other furniture and home decor accessories are already in the room? It&#;s important for the room to feel cohesive in style, so take a good look at the items already in the room that you plan to keep. What style, colors and texture will complement the existing elements?
  4. What kind of budget do I have? This is especially important if you are working with a limited budget. Unless money is no object, it is important to look at pieces within your price range. Lucky for you, Head Springs Depot offers a range of styles and products very similar to high-end furniture stores, but without the hefty price tag. You will also want to inquire about financing options, as this can be helpful when you find a piece you love, but prefer to pay over time.
  5. Is it customizable? If yes, does it cost extra? The best way to get exactly what you want to fit your style and space is to go with customizable furniture options, especially with upholstered furniture such as sofas and chairs. Make sure you understand if any of the options you are considering cost extra to avoid any surprises when it comes to purchasing.
  6. How was this furniture made? Knowing how and what materials were used to create a piece of furniture is very important to understand its quality and durability. Is it made of solid or manufactured wood? What type of leather was used? Were sustainable and eco-friendly practices used? Are the finishes non-toxic? It&#;s important to understand the differences in high-quality materials to not only protect your investment but to also enjoy your furniture for decades to come.
  7. How long will this furniture last? Understanding the materials used to create a piece of furniture will help you determine its longevity, but it is important to ask the salesperson the average or expected lifespan of the furniture. If you are looking to invest in high-quality furniture made from top-of-the-line materials, the answer should always be that this piece of furniture will last you generations.
  8. Do you have similar products available in this price range? Think you&#;ve found the one? Have your salesperson show you similar products in your style and price range just to make sure. There&#;s no reason to hurry so one more browse through the store won&#;t hurt anyone!
  9. What guarantees and warranties do you have? Find out what guarantees and warranties are available for the furniture you are looking to purchase. This will help you understand what guarantees and warranties are available not only from the store but also from the manufacturer of the product if they are different. These could pertain to price-matching, customer satisfaction, malfunctions, return policies and more.
  10. Is any maintenance required? To keep your furniture looking new for years to come, it&#;s important to understand maintenance and on-going care is needed. Be sure to ask cleaning best practices, suggested cleaning products, how often it needs to be cleaned or polished, etc.
  11. Is this piece kid and/or pet-friendly? Make sure the piece of furniture you are investing in matches your lifestyle needs, be it kids, pets, a clumsy spouse or all of the above. If durability is a key factor, see what options are available in stain-resistant fabrics and more.
  12. What happens if something goes wrong or I change my mind? While this should be covered in your guarantee and warranty information, it&#;s important to have a clear understanding of the fine print. Be sure you get clarification on any concerns you have throughout the purchasing process.
  13. Will I still like this piece in 5 years? While trends are fun, they can sometimes fade. When making an investment in high-quality furniture, make sure the piece has both style and a timeless appeal that you will love for years to come.
  14. Do you deliver and how long will it take? In addition to understanding if and when your furniture will be delivered, find out WHO will be delivering the furniture. At Head Springs Depot, we put you in the trustworthy hands of our own delivery guys, not some third-party, so you can rest assured knowing that we personally know the people coming into your home. 

Now that you have your list of questions, come on over to Head Springs Depot and let&#;s find you the perfect piece of furniture for your home!

Your dining room is more than just a place to eat. It&#;s a place to spend time as a family, host dinner parties with friends and make memories, and choosing the right dining room furniture is an important part of this. 

To make the process as easy as possible, we&#;ve put together a handy buying guide to answer all of your questions, like: What size dining table should you choose? Should you choose marble topped, oak wood, glass or high gloss? Should you go for a fixed-top or extending dining table? Should you opt for additional storage in your dining room? The list is endless, but our buying guide provides you with all of the practical advice you need.

In our easy-to-use guide we&#;ll cover the basics, from choosing the right sized furniture for your space and the best material to suit your lifestyle, to extras such as additional chairs and padded seat cushions. Along with this useful advice, our guide covers all you need to know about paying for your new furniture and how to spread the cost of your purchase with our interest free finance offers. Finally, we&#;ll walk you through the delivery process, including Saturday delivery and delivery to the Isle of Man and Isle of White.

Finding your perfect fit

Before deciding on the different types of furniture you want, start by measuring your dining room. Space is often the biggest restriction when it comes to purchasing dining furniture, and having this information before you start shopping is essential. No one wants to find the perfect dining table and chairs only to find they won&#;t fit in their dining room!

When measuring, it&#;s best to think about your dining table in relation to the layout of your room. Measure the spot where your table will go, not forgetting to take into account the amount of room people will need to sit comfortably and move around with ease. If you&#;re planning on purchasing additional dining room furniture, such as a sideboard, make sure to include this within your measurements.

Taking measurements for your new dining furniture doesn&#;t stop at the room where it will be living; there are also other factors to take into consideration to make the delivery process run smoothly. Take note of the height and width of any doorways, hallways or staircases that your furniture will have to fit through when it&#;s delivered, and let us know of any access issues our delivery team may have to face. If you live in a top floor flat, have narrow entrances or spiral staircases, let us know in plenty of time before delivery so that our teams can arrive prepared.

Choosing the right dining table for your lifestyle

Once you&#;ve measured the space for your new dining furniture, it&#;s time to decide which type of furniture is best for your home. At ScS, we offer a wide range of marble topped, oak wood, glass and high gloss dining room furniture, including dining tables or table and chair sets.

Along with a wide range of materials to choose from, we offer a variety of extending dining tables and a variety of seating choices, such as high backed chairs and benches. Extending tables and benches are perfect for larger families or times when you&#;ve got guests visiting for dinner &#; you can&#;t under estimate how often additional seating will come in handy!

When browsing our wide range of dining room furniture, there are various factors to take into consideration before making your selection. For example, how frequently will it be used? Do you have any small children? And, perhaps most importantly, what will your new dining room furniture be used for the most &#; as a dining table, a place for your kids to do their homework or as a make shift office space?

Marble topped and high gloss furniture is perfect for busy family homes that are prone to a lot of spillages. Both materials are easy to clean, so simple spills can be wiped clean before they stain. These durable materials are available in a range of colours including black and white, and are often suited to modern décor.

If you&#;re looking for a table that is highly adaptable to changing styles and décor, our wood ranges are ideal. Due to the simple designs of these tables, they will work with whatever style you choose &#; modern or traditional. Our solid oak extending dining tables and sideboards are stylish and practical, making them perfect for modern living.

Similarly, glass tables are highly adaptable and their easy to clean design ensures they stay looking great. These features make them great for busy homes, although you may want to look at an alternative if you have young children who have a tendency to leave finger prints on glass surfaces.

Dining chairs

Many of our dining tables are available as part of a set, with four and six seater options available. However, if you would like to purchase your dining table and chairs separately, or buy additional seating, we&#;ve got you covered.

Much like choosing your dining table, it&#;s important to find the right chairs to match your lifestyle and your décor. With a wide range of dining chairs to choose from, including benches, upholstered fabric chairs, upholstered faux leather chairs, chrome and metal legged chairs and solid oak chairs, we&#;re confident you&#;ll find the perfect option for your home.

Storage solutions

Once you&#;ve selected your dining table and chairs, it&#;s time to think about additional storage. At ScS, we offer a wide range of sideboards in a range of materials, colours and sizes, giving you a stylish piece of furniture to help keep your home clutter free. Most of our dining ranges feature complimentary furniture pieces such as sideboards and bookcases, to allow you to add the finishing touches to your space.

Paying for your dining room furniture

We offer up to 3 years free credit, 0% APR representative on all purchases over £320, allowing you to pay for your new dining room furniture in affordable monthly payments that suit you. Simply select the 'pay monthly' option at the checkout and choose your repayment term from six to 36 months.

If you are selecting a repayment term under 24 months, you will receive a decision within minutes on your eligibility for finance. If you are selecting a repayment term over 24 months, a member of our online sales team will be required to call you and confirm some additional details to complete your order.
