Great article.....and, not only for sofas, but for most "stylish" furniture that is "affordable" and can be bought "easily" online... Really hoping that people will look into reusing/refinishing older pieces, search for "antiques"....ultimate green and sustainable approach: by not buying cheap and short-lived items that will just end up in landfill in a couple of years.... 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

“‘Don’t even bother,’ the upholsterer told me. I was on the phone, asking for a theoretical quote to reupholster a five-year-old or so midrange sofa, which cost more than $1,000 when new,” writer Dan Nosowitz explains. “The upholsterer proceeded to lecture me, in a helpful, passionate, and sometimes kindly manner, about how sofas made in the past 15 years or so are absolute garbage, constructed of sawdust compressed and bonded with cheap glue, simple brackets in place of proper joinery, substandard spring design, flimsy foam, and a lot of staples.”

A combination of factors has created a grim scene: a two-year-old, $1,200 Instagram sofa—busted, on the curb, waiting for the large-item trash pickup or an enterprising scavenger who doesn’t realize just how much this thing sucks.
