If you’re considering purchasing a refurbished sofa but need an extra push, look no further than this exciting blog. From reduced environmental impact to a totally unique design, read on to discover the many benefits of opting for a refurbished sofa.
Reduces carbon footprint
As we all know, climate change is a very real threat to our planet. Disposing of furniture is not good for the environment – whether you burn or bury it, carbon and other pollutants are released into the air and soil respectively. It’s important to do everything we can to reduce our carbon footprint – and you’re actually able to avoid 563 kilograms of carbon dioxide emission when you purchase a second-hand sofa. After all, when you get an old couch you’re saving it from being thrown away.
High-quality goods
It’s a myth that all new sofas are made from the finest materials – a lot of modern sofas are actually made cheaply with particle boards. This means they are often not very durable and are additionally susceptible to moisture and humidity. On the other hand, the fact that antique furniture has often survived for the past decade or decades highlights the fact it was made with great craftsmanship and is usually of excellent quality. Despite potential wear and tear, you can depend on a solid structure and firm foundation – remember, while you may need to do some reupholstering or refinishing on the outside, you can rest assured that your sofa will last for years to come.
Low price
Refurbished sofas are a cost effective solution if you’re looking to save money. The price of an old sofa is definitely way lower than its original price years ago. In fact, it could actually cost about the same or less than a new sofa you find in stores. Meanwhile quality-wise, the old couch is most likely unbeatable. Even if you have to invest in some repair work, you will still be paying a low price for an exceptional piece of furniture – making it more than worth it.
A unique design
With a refurbished sofa, you can be assured that it will be truly one of a kind. While it’s possible to find a similar make, the chances are very slim that you’ll meet someone with an identical sofa, especially considering the fact it was made decades ago. Another fun fact to consider is that every sofa has its own past – with a bit of luck you might be able to find out from its owner how far it travelled across the world to reach where you are and maybe some good memories that come along with it.
