10 Questions To Ask Before You Purchase that Couch

 

Buying a couch for your first apartment or new family home is an exciting step. Couches are essential pieces of lounge furniture, but they can also be a fairly steep initial investment. Making sure you spend your money on a couch from the best supplier is important. To help you with your couch purchase, we have highlighted a few essential questions to ask your chosen furniture supplier before you swipe your card. With 5Star Furniture, you can trust that we are the right furniture supplier for cheap corner couches for sale or any other couch that suits your lifestyle and budget.

 

Questions to Ask Your Furniture Supplier Before You Buy The Couch:

Buying a new couch is a big deal, so you should always take the time to research different furniture suppliers before purchasing a specific couch. To make sure you choose the best furniture supplier for your couch, we have outlined 10 important questions to ask before you buy. These questions are designed to help you ensure that your chosen furniture supplier for couches is the best fit for you.

1) What materials is this couch available in?

In addition to style and size, the material of your selected couch is important. Different materials have different maintenance needs, which can drastically impact your lifestyle. You should enquire with your furniture supplier which material is best suited to your lifestyle and whether they have the couches available in those specific materials.

5Star Furniture boasts an extensive range of couches in various materials suited to any lifestyle requirements. We will happily offer you advice on the best-suited material for your needs and guide you towards our couches available in those materials. From colourful velvets to easy-to-clean faux suedes to durable linen, we have the exact material that suits your maintenance and lifestyle needs.

2) Where do you source your couches from?

Knowing where your couch was produced can significantly affect your decision about whether to make the purchase. You may be a huge advocate for supporting local, so purchasing an imported couch may not align with your values. Before you buy the couch, ask the furniture supplier whether they manufacture locally or source from local or international manufacturers.

5Star Furniture sources couches from mostly small, local manufacturers. We strive to uphold a proudly South African supply of couches. We select our manufacturers based on the quality, style, comfort, and affordability of the couches that they produce.

3) How long does it take to receive a couch that is “available on order”?

If you are shopping online and come across a couch you love, but it is only “available on order”, you will need to enquire about the waiting period. It would be highly inconvenient if you purchased the couch only to find out that it would arrive in over a month. Enquiring about the waiting period will help you determine whether the furniture supplier you are considering aligns with your schedule for when you ideally need the couch.

 

The waiting period for couches “available on order” at 5Star Furniture is 2-4 weeks. Once your couch is ready, we will inform you that it is ready for delivery or collection. We strive to keep this time as short as possible so that we can get your couch to you quickly.

4) Is there a guarantee for your couches?

A guarantee is essential when purchasing a couch. Since you will be investing a fair amount of your money in your couch, you need to be confident it will last at least a few years. A guarantee is your assurance that if the quality does not last as long as you would expect, you can take recourse with your selected furniture supplier.

At 5Star Furniture, we offer a guarantee for all of our couches. The guarantee period depends on the couch you have selected, but you can generally expect a 3-year guarantee. Our guarantee is an assurance of our quality and a demonstration of our appreciation for your choosing us as your furniture supplier.

5) Do I need to collect the couch, or will you deliver it?

Before you purchase your new couch, ask your chosen furniture supplier whether they can deliver it or if you will need to collect it. If you need to collect the couch yourself, you may need to borrow a car or hire a delivery van. Couches are also heavy, so you may need to recruit some friends or family members to help you get your couch from the vehicle and into your home. This can be extra time, effort, and expenses, which can make your selected furniture supplier less desirable.

With 5Star Furniture, you do not need to worry about how your couch will get from the showroom and into your lounge. We offer a trusted delivery service that will bring your new couch to your home. We also deliver our couches fully assembled, so you can start enjoying your new couch immediately.

 

6) Is there a delivery cost?

Once you have determined that your selected furniture supplier can deliver to your home, you need to enquire how much extra this will cost. If their delivery fee far exceeds the distance or value of your selected couch, you may need to consider a different furniture supplier or one closer to your location.

From our cheap corner couches for sale to our affordable delivery costs, 5Star Furniture is constantly striving to save you money. For our delivery service, we select independent delivery companies with the most affordable rates. If you would prefer to collect yourself to reduce costs, we will happily assist you in loading and safely fastening your couch to your vehicle.

7) Do you offer a customisation service for your couches?

If there are a few things you would like changed about your potential new couch, it is worthwhile to enquire with your selected furniture supplier whether they offer a customisation service. Having your couch customised with your desired material or specific finishing details can be time-consuming and require effort if you have to take it to an upholsterer. It will be easier for you to have it done with your chosen furniture supplier that offers a customisation service.

At 5Star Furniture, you can have your couches customised with our customisation service. As we are a small furniture supplier, we strive to accommodate your needs with any changes to couch material colours or sizes. You are welcome to ask us about your customisation requests, and we will happily strive to meet your needs.

8) What is your return policy?

Whether you are buying a couch, a dining table set, or a side table, it is always important to be clear on the return policy before purchasing from your selected furniture supplier. If you have purchased a furniture piece and the incorrect item arrives, or it arrives damaged, you need to be able to have the furniture piece replaced or repaired, or have your money returned by your selected furniture supplier.

5Star Furniture offers a return policy for all our furniture pieces. If your purchased couch arrives damaged or faulty, we will immediately arrange for it to be repaired or exchanged. We strive to ensure that you are always satisfied with our furniture and our service when you choose 5Star Furniture as your furniture supplier.

9) Do you offer lay-by?

Purchasing a couch can be expensive, especially if you have your heart set on a large real leather lounge suite. You may be forced to purchase the couch on lay-by, so you will need to enquire whether your selected furniture supplier offers this payment option.

At 5Star Furniture, you have the option to purchase any of our furniture pieces, including our cheap corner couches for sale, on lay-by. To purchase on lay-by, you will need to pay a 10% initial deposit. You can then choose a 3-, 6-, 9-, or 12-month repayment plan that suits your budget. Once you have paid in full, you are free to collect your couch, or we will deliver it to your home.

There are numerous benefits to our lay-by system. When you purchase on lay-by, we will not charge you any additional interest. We will not perform a credit check on you or request your ID. All we need from you is the deposit and valid contact details, and within a few months, the new couch will be fully yours!

10) Do you have any matching single-seaters or other lounge furniture?

You may have a large lounge space to fill and be eager to find a matching lounge suite set and lounge furniture to tie the space together. It can be difficult to match a large corner couch with similar single-seaters if you are looking for each of these seating pieces at different stores. To make your life easier, you should enquire if your selected furniture supplier offers a full lounge furniture array before you purchase your couch.

At 5Star Furniture, we have all your lounge furniture needs covered. From cheap corner couches for sale to coffee tables to TV cabinets, you can furnish your entire lounge from the available lounge furniture. We also have lounge suite sets and matching single-seaters to create a seamless style in your lounge. We strive to make furnishing your home effortless by covering all of your furniture needs.
