We all know how crazy the last few years have been, and with that in mind of course many of us are feeling the crunch. When it comes to buying furniture, many are turning to buying from Facebook Marketplace. So when you can get decent furniture used is there a point in buying brand new, and are you compromising quality? Let’s visit this, and talk about some of the reasons why buying new furniture can be a blessing in disguise.
One of the things to consider is the damage due to previous use. If you are buying something upholstered like a couch, loveseat, or occasional chair you have to be careful of mold, allergens, and bed bugs that hide within the fabric, when buying second hand. The same goes with throw rugs, and pillows. The other thing to consider when buying furniture is when you are buying anything with wood. Wood rotting or even splintering means having to restore that furniture is something to take into serious consideration, unless you are ready to DIY a project. Otherwise there is a possibility that you may end up with something that isn’t going to last you long term.
When you buy new you don’t have to worry about bugs, stains, mold, and wear and tear from its previous owners. The kind of furniture you are buying really depends on whether you should buy new or used. If you are working within a budget, it is possible to buy new and complete your home furnishings. Or you can do a little bit of both. Anything that has material or wood you could buy brand new and anything that is made with metal, wrought iron, that can be washed down, may be more advantageous to buy used, and in terms of it’s looks both wrought iron and metal stand the test of time, and can look just as new 10-15 years down the road.
Also. you want to consider when buying new or used if it is furniture you are going to use long term. If you are only getting furniture for a dorm room, or something temporary then used might just be the way to go, but if you are looking for long term furniture that is going to stand the test of time, buying new is a great way to go to ensure the longevity of your furniture without the headache of having to do any repairs, or running into any unforeseen issues.
The other thing to consider is having a warranty that comes with your furniture if you buy brand new. If you buy a used couch that caves in on you when you are laying on it, there is nothing you can do but pay someone to come and haul it away. Then you are still stuck with the same issue of needing another couch. That is a very disheartening place to be When you buy new, if there is any manufacturer defects during your warranty you are covered, and you don’t have to worry about having to pay any money out of pocket to replace.
The final thing to remember is that just like new clothes, or a new haircut, new furniture can add a spring to your step, and give you a whole new outlook, especially when you don’t have to drain your bank account to do it.
