Look for a transitional shape and style nothing too fussy or formal and nothing too contemporary, something with a simple arm detail will work best.
Check For A Sturdy Frame And Joints
Important, make sure the sofa frame is sturdy. To test this you can lift one of the front leg or corner of the floor, raise it to about 6 inches and if the other front leg didn’t rise after this means the frame is weak.
Also, don’t forget to ask about sofa joints. If a sofa joints are connected using only glue, nails or staples, these will not last a long time. These should only be used for extra reinforcement when joints are connected using doweling or biscuits joints.
Test The Sofa
Also, try the sofa out by sitting on the corner and outside edge of the sofa, if there are squeaks and creaks the springs are touching the frame or are not correctly placed.
