Buying furniture can feel overwhelming, especially with so many styles, sizes, and materials to consider. Asking the right questions will simplify your shopping experience and ensure you make a confident choice for your home and family. Here are 10 essential questions to ask yourself and your furniture specialist to guarantee an "Oh Yeah!" moment every time.
1. Will This Furniture Fit My Space?
Measure your room and doorways before you shop. The last thing you want is furniture that's too big to fit through your door or too small to make an impact. For more tips, check out How to Measure Your Space for Furniture.
2. How Durable is This Furniture?
Furniture is an investment, so durability matters. Ask about materials and construction quality to make sure your new furniture withstands everyday life with kids, pets, and high-traffic areas. At Furniture Mall, you'll find trusted brands known for their longevity, like Flexsteel, Bernhardt and Kirkwood.
3. How Often Will We Use This?
Think realistically about usage. Furniture intended for daily use should prioritize comfort and durability, while less-used items might offer more flexibility in style or design.
4. What's This Furniture Made From?
Materials affect durability, style, and ease of cleaning. Wood offers timeless appeal and durability, while metal and plastic can provide practical, affordable solutions. Choose materials that suit your family’s lifestyle.
5. What Customization Options are Available?
Your furniture should reflect your personal style. At Furniture Mall, you can explore various fabrics, colors, and styles to create pieces uniquely suited to your home. We know the furniture in your home says a great deal about you and your lifestyle.

We give you the choice of unlimited possibilities without expensive price tags.
6. What Style Do I Prefer?
