Buyer's Guides
Furniture advice from three generations on the floor
Honest, practical guidance to help you choose furniture you will live with for years — from sizing a dining table to telling good leather from bad.
Every guide below comes from questions our Melbourne showroom staff answer in person most weeks — how deep a sofa needs to be for a room that doubles as a media space, how many people really fit around a 2.4 metre table, and where leather is worth the extra spend. Read one before you visit, then come in and test the piece against what you have learnt.
