    To tell if furniture is high quality, first check the joints. High-quality pieces will often feature dovetail or mortise-and-tenon joints that provide more strength than screwed or doweled joints. Next, examine the materials. Solid wood is generally the highest-quality option, but pieces comprised of several layers of plywood may also be capable of standing the test of time. A well-built piece of furniture should feel sturdy and not wobble or creak, and any drawers in the piece should open and close smoothly. Explore a wide range of furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To tell if furniture is good quality, first apply some pressure to it. Well-crafted pieces generally won't wobble, creak or twist. Also, examine the piece from different angles to see if it's level. Materials can also be a good indicator of quality. Finely crafted pieces often feature more expensive materials, such as solid hardwood, real stone, stainless steel, wrought iron and tempered glass. Construction methods can also separate high-quality pieces from other offerings. Dovetail, doweled and mortise-and-tenon joints make for long-lasting, sturdy casegoods. Also, look at what's holding the furniture together. Pieces that feature nails are often better quality than those secured by staples or glue. Explore a large selection of antique, vintage and contemporary furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024
    To tell quality bedroom furniture, first give it a shake or push. If you notice any wobbling or creaking, the piece may be of inferior quality. Materials like solid hardwood can also help you separate well-made pieces from lower-quality items produced out of engineered wood and particleboard. For dressers, chests of drawers, nightstands and other casegoods, check out the drawers. On high-quality pieces, the drawers should move smoothly. Dovetail and tongue-and-groove drawer joint construction can also indicate quality furnishings. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of bedroom furniture.

    To tell if wood furniture is good quality, first give it a gentle push. Well-made pieces should remain stable without wobbling or creaking. Next, examine the joints of the furniture. Good-quality furnishings will typically feature screw, doweled, dovetail or mortise-and-tenon joints. Pieces held together by glue are often not as finely crafted. Next, consider the wood itself. Solid wood pieces and those made out of solid wood and then finished with genuine wood veneers tend to be higher quality than pieces constructed out of engineered wood. Explore a wide range of wood furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
