Furniture Consumers Looking For Better Quality

For 30 years Almira has been proud to offer only the highest quality solid wood and upholstery to our customers. Those folks who choose to buy a lesser quality product are now starting to rethink their decisions, looking for a better quality product next time around. A recent survey by the leading industry magazine, Furniture/Today bears this out.

Seven out of ten customers will do something different next time they purchase furniture with 40% of those planning to buy better quality. Over 25% plan to buy more durable furniture.



Here are some comments received during the survey.

"I couldn't find the perfect sofa in my price range and ended up settling. Knowing what I know now I would have invested more time into research and allowed myself a bigger budget"

"Good quality furniture lasts much longer with normal everyday use. Uncomfortable furniture may look good, but it really just takes up space."

"My current furniture has worn quickly because I bought it discounted. Next time, I'll invest more so that it lasts and remains comfortable."

"As we have gotten older, it has become a priority to spend more money on things that will last as opposed to cheap things that have to be replaced often."



The survey also showed 83% of consumers research their future purchases by visiting retail stores or retailers websites. This is a statistic we love. At Almira we welcome the opportunity to show you the benefits and features of our quality solid wood furniture. Furniture built to the highest standards and built to last.

We welcome you to drop by the store, enjoy a coffee, chat with a sales consultant and discover all we have to offer. We look forward to seeing you.
