Might Microfiber Upholstery Be Right for YOU?

You’ve probably heard of microfiber upholstery, which is taking the retail furniture world by storm so of course 5th Avenue Furniture is on board with a wide assortment of living room furniture clothed with it. So what’s so special about this particular synthetic fabric upholstery? And might it be right for your bustling household that goes through lesser furniture in a short time? In today’s blog post your friends at 5th Avenue will introduce you to microfiber upholstery from its origins to its advantages and even negative qualities so you will best decide.

The Odyssey of Microfiber Upholstery from Industrial to Residential

Extremely adaptable for many living room furniture styles, microfiber upholstery started in the seemingly mundane world of Japanese industry. Renowned for its cleaning properties, microfiber cloth is the ingenious invention of scientists in that country. Because it was so successful in factories, soon a household spinoff went on the market. Furniture manufacturers found that microfiber upholstery is easy to make and maintain, retaining all the advantages of the cleaning cloths made of this wonder stuff.

Reasons to Consider Microfiber Upholstery

First and foremost, microfiber furniture is valued by families with young children because of its legendary stainproof quality, which is totally true! Never panic or get mad over another spilled glass of chocolate milk again. With natural and other fabrics you get a permanent mess but not so with this scientific marvel. You see, with microfiber upholstery, liquids just bead up. All you have to do is wipe up the spill while it’s still fresh and no harm done! It doesn’t matter if your microfiber couch is plush or fake leather. It will remain new-looking! To maintain that pristine appearance, just give your cool microfiber chair a good vacuuming occasionally.

Down Sides of Microfiber Upholstery

We’ll level with you: microfiber upholstery has static, so if that bothers you, then this furniture would not work in your home. Also, when you sit on or brush up against microsuede upholstery, it sometimes leaves a harmess swirl pattern like a cowlick or going against the grain. Finally, microfiber upholstery holds onto pet hair, so if you have a dog or cat, you’ll regularly be doing vacuuming.

When you want cool microsuede upholstery for your living room sleeper sofas and more, our Detroit, MI store is always your stylish and affordable resource. If you have any more questions on this upholstery, contact us or stop by!

The Wonder of Real Wood Furniture Is for You

When you look into hardwood furniture for your home, you can see why this natural material has the reputation it does for beauty and durability. So for today’s blog post, your friends at 5th Avenue Furniture will lay down for you some of the reasons the slight cost increase for genuine wood furniture might be worth it to add a touch of extra class to your abode.

Benefits of True Hardwood Furniture in Your Home

For one thing, your piece of new hardwood furniture will be unique even if it’s a brand’s product. That’s because no two trees are exactly alike! Spontaneity in real wood furniture is one of its biggest draws for designers and fashion-conscious homeowners alike. Then there is hardwood furniture’s legendary longevity, which is 100% true! You’re paying a slight premium on the price for proven high quality! Consider an oak tree where of course your true oak dining room chair is made from. That tree’s been standing at least a century. When you buy genuine wood furniture, you’re getting heirloom quality to pass down to your kids and grandkids! You can add to your real wood furniture’s durability simply through protective finishes, so you can eat on it, no worries, and not be bothered by inevitable spills.

How Real Wood Furniture Is Earth-Friendly

Plus, by choosing the goodness of real wooden furniture, you are helping the environment! Many manufacturers of solid-wood furniture are leaders in sustainability. That means they realize that the trees they harvest to craft your real wood living room furniture is a crop so for every tree they cut down, they plant at least one seedling. When a company commits to making hardwood furniture, they know it’s a long-term investment. And certainly you can trust such solid-wood furniture makers with your real wood 6-piece dining sets and more. The manufacturing process for real wood furniture is also easier on the ecology as it forgoes the use of harsh chemicals.

Check out the hardwood furniture selection at our Detroit,MI store, and if it’s not on the floor, no problem. We will order it!

Is Faux Leather Furniture in YOUR Future?

Both genuine and faux leather furniture are eminently affordable when you shop for your living room seating at 5th Avenue Furniture. But when you need an extra price break on your new stationary sofa, for example, faux leather upholstery may be your ideal answer. Because of the popularity of the animal rights cause, this option appeals to many consumers. And at 5th Avenue, we can offer your more than 900 items clothed in this resilient, fine-looking material. Here are some things to consider when browsing our faux leather furniture selection.

Types of Faux Leather Furniture and Their Properties

There are several kinds of faux leather furniture, which vary according to quality. The most common faux leather you see is polyurethane (PU) as a plastic coating over a synthetic fabric, most often polyester. The manufacturer applies the PU to the fabric, then adds the desired color and stamps it with a cowhide-style grain. PU faux leather furniture boasts a decades-long track record for holding up under heavy household use. Other faux leather upholsteries include polyamide microfiber and PVC. Some manufacturers are pioneering the use of natural plant materials to create new kinds of faux leather furniture. These new materials include kelp from the sea and cork from trees.

Considering Faux Leather Furniture’s Pluses and Minuses

Our palette of faux leather living room furniture comes in just about every color and you can get a high-sheen finish if you desire. Your polyurethane faux leather furniture offers you easy care – just wipe it with a damp cloth for routine cleanups – plus it’s environmentally friendly. Real leather is costlier because it ages well, is less likely to be torn or punctured, and is hypoallergenic. But your faux leather loveseat is waterproof! Another matter to consider is the temperature of the room where your faux leather recliner, for example, will be. Because faux leather furniture upholstery is not porous, perspiration after sitting for long periods on a hot day is a factor.

At our Detroit, MI store, faux leather furniture and other goodies are always a real deal, whatever you choose for your living room.

In Praise of the Pocketed Coil in High-End Mattresses

When shopping for a new hybrid mattress (both innersprings and foam) at 5^th Avenue Furniture, you’ll see that our slightly more expensive models boast something called “pocketed coils.” What are these and are they worth the extra cost? In this blog post we’ll have a look at this unique engineering and how it helps YOU get a better night’s sleep. While we offer firm innerspring mattresses at every price point including traditional coils to give you extra savings, we think pocketed coils are worth looking into for their benefit to your long-term health and happiness.

The Origin of Pocketed Coils

First of all, pocketed-coil mattresses aren’t new. James Marshall, an engineer in Canada, patented his first design for these springs back in 1899. Unlike old-fashioned coils, which are narrow in the center so they become distorted faster over years of use, these fabric-encased wonders are the same width throughout. The compressed springs are tightly wrapped at the factory, offering your tired body the support it desperately needs to really sleep. Some advanced mattresses, such as from one leading American manufacturer, reinforce their pocketed coils further by weaving three pieces of steel into one spring! The cost of pocketed-coil hybrid mattresses, now augmented with viscoelastic foam and gel to reduce motion disturbance, has gone down in recent years. However, pocketed-coil mattresses are still categorized as “luxury.”

Benefits of Pocketed Coil Mattresses for You

Today’s pocketed coils seem fine-tuned to accommodate difficult sleeping situations such as when you rest on one side. What might be too much strain for a traditional mattress is no longer a problem here. Your body’s pressure points are cradled, not aggravated. And when these steel wonders are buttressed by memory foam with just the right amount of “spring,” you can’t lose on any of our pocketed-coil sleep solutions! What matters most in an innerspring bed is not so much the number of coils but their shape. While each spring works on its own, together they offer you incomparable comfort.

Would YOU be better off with the slight price increase of purchasing pocketed coils in your next mattress? Consult your health-care professional and, when you’re in our Detroit, MI store, try out a few mattresses to feel for yourself.

First Impression: Entryway Furniture for First-Class Foyers

Make an absolutely smashing first impression on your guests the easy way. Sure, your living room furniture is important, but why not wow them and give them a touch of envy from the get-go? That’s where strategic choice and placement of entryway furniture can work wonders for your home decor. Over the years we at 5^th Avenue Furniture have seen trends come and go so we know what works best. That plus some homework and feedback from designers themselves bring you this awesome FREE advice on making your foyer truly top-class.

Cool Console Tables Provide Display and Storage with Design Flair

An attractive accent cabinet has long been one of the staples of good entrance-hall design. These trim, versatile pieces serve three purposes in your front room. First, they provide a visual point of interest. Second, they’re a display space, particularly if like many households you place a plant, flowers, or a rotating seasonal display or your mementoes. Third, they’re handy storage for items you only use occasionally such as an artificial Christmas wreath for your front door or Halloween decor. With a myriad of styles to choose from, you’re sure to find an accent console to fit your home’s design and your own artistic predilections.

Use a Beautiful Wall Mirror to Accentuate the Light

A tried-and-true designer’s trick to enliven a dreary space is to magnify its light. A well-chosen accent mirror, such on the wall facing the front door, can turn a dark foyer into a showplace. Go all out with a big frame in a bold abstract design.

Have a Seat: Upholstered Benches Make Waiting a Pleasure

With funky and comfortable upholstered benches, make your entryway that much more inviting. Set a friendly tone thanks to well-appointed benches in everything from traditional baroque and colonial refinement to go-for-broke electric violet or cowhide pattern cushions!

All this and more can be yours affordably at our Detroit, MIhome furniture store.

Plan YOUR Perfect Home Office

Whether you intend to use your new home office as a full-time workstation now that you’ve dumped your commute so you can enjoy working from home online, kitchen command center for your household, or a study room or alcove so Junior or your budding grad student can study and you can make sure he or she stays focused, your ideal home office will take some thought and planning. Don’t let the prospect of that daunt you. Here at family-owned and operated 5^th Avenue Furniture we have been helping households like yours adjust painlessly to the Internet age for many years now. Here are some of the wise things we’ve picked up along the way and would like to share with you.

The Tiniest Home Office

Your home at the moment may be so short on square footage that the TV room IS the kitchen! No worries. You too can have an awesome home office with a bit of creativity. The key word for this kind of home office furniture is versatility. We’re talking compact desks with built-in shelves below the top or nice roomy storage drawers. Extras to look for that don’t hog valuable space are electrical outlets and, naturally for computer work, a USB port. There are even full computer workstations you can tuck into a room’s disused corner to turn your home office dream into a reality.

Small Home Offices

Okay, so you’ve got a room or two in your abode so you can allot more space for your home office. In that instance, make the most of your good fortune with a slightly bigger corner desk with two ells and again built-in storage that doesn’t take up more room than the desk’s footprint. You’ll have ample desktop space to park your laptop, your tchotchkes, and even your cuppa morning Joe.

Midsize to Large Home Offices

Got a room you can make over into your home office, either for privacy or a place to actually receive or treat patients or clients? Brilliant! Your home office horizons are virtually limitless. For the grand treatment, we suggest a fine cherry-finish credenza desk and hutch with all the bookshelf and storage space you could hope for, plus a traditional design to add some gravitas to your business proceedings. Good luck in your endeavors, whatever they may be!

Count on our Detroit, MI store to have the home office pieces and sets you need no matter the size and scope of your plan. And remember, if you find it for less, we’ll beat that price.
