TOP 10 best sofa factories in Russia: rating of budget and high-quality manufacturers

Today in Russia there are many manufacturing companies offering customers their own upholstered furniture. According to specialized resources, there are more than 200 large enterprises with an extensive catalog and high quality products that are worthy of competing with European manufacturers. At the same time, there are quite a few manufacturers with a smaller scale of production, but also worthy of the attention of a potential buyer. With such a variety of offers, it is very difficult to make a choice. We advise you to pay attention to the period of the company’s presence on the market, the breadth of assortment, availability for sale not only in its own stores, if any, but also in large furniture hypermarkets. And of course, you should not ignore customer reviews; they contain a lot of information specifically about the user characteristics and features of the products of a particular factory.

We have compiled our own rating, based primarily on the opinions of users and recommendations of professionals. The presented factories manufacture and sell various types of upholstered furniture, use modern and high-quality materials, and have their own online stores.

Borovichi

What brand of sofa should you buy if you need practicality? “Borovichi” is a TOP budget manufacturer that has made durability at a reasonable price its feature.

Technology helped them achieve this:

1. Good wood substitutes. This includes first class chipboard and birch plywood.
2. Strict forms. There is no place for avant-garde forms in the Borovichi assortment. Most sofas have smooth, strict shapes with a practical mechanism.

In addition, they allow customers to choose their own upholstery material and color; what else is needed for a good sofa?

Ariani

The manufacturer focuses on the production of large sliding wardrobes. Basically, they are composite, which allows the consumer to achieve the required length. All materials, as well as fittings, are of high quality from Austrian and Turkish brands. An interesting proposal is the production of stained glass sliding wardrobes, which are distinguished by high build quality and beautiful design. Thanks to such design developments, you can get multifunctional sliding wardrobes, which will have additional shelves for different things and even additional sections with their own doors.

Peculiarities

The production of upholstered furniture in Russia has a long history. And during this time it has been significantly improved both technically and aesthetically. Now Russian manufacturers of upholstered furniture have moved far away from the stereotypical image that existed 25 years ago. Then it was possible to produce “simply domestic inexpensive products, and let the quality depend on it.”

The result was not long in coming. Since the beginning of the 2010s, domestic furniture products have been at least as good as imported products in the same price range. The number of models is already several tens of thousands. All modern technologies and the latest design innovations are being actively implemented. A considerable part of the goods is already undergoing permanent certification for compliance with Western European standards. At the same time, the presence of local production and relatively low transport costs make furniture from Russian factories a rather profitable purchase.

Which upholstered furniture is better to choose?

First, of course, you need to choose furniture from a large, well-known manufacturer. How many cases have there been when buyers, tempted by the low price of a “sofa from a cooperative”, were then forced to overpay for repairs, put up with shortcomings, or simply buy a new one!

Second. Customers make a lot of complaints about delivery services (they take a long time, they deliver the wrong thing, the assemblers are unqualified, they deliver them carelessly with damage, etc.). There are a lot of complaints about collectors. Therefore, when purchasing, you need to look at reviews about the store, among other things! It is advisable to order upholstered furniture from an official representative of the company or directly from the factory - there will be fewer problems. Good luck with your choice!

How to choose the right sofa, what to look for, criteria

In addition to quality and cost, when choosing a sofa you need to pay attention to a number of criteria. First among them is why you are buying it. For many, a sofa is not just upholstered furniture, but also a place for everyday sleep.

To create a comprehensive and thoughtful interior, you should think about how exactly you see the interior of the room. If you gravitate towards the classics, then sofas with a wooden frame are suitable for you, but if you are more impressed by more modern models, take a closer look at sofas in the hi-tech style. The main thing is not to forget to carefully consider the design of the room so that the sofa looks appropriate.

The next factor for optimal placement of the sofa is its shape

:

• – Straight sofas are the most common type of sofa. Designed for placement along walls and, due to its versatility and prevalence, it can be placed in any room.
• – Corner sofas - as the name suggests, are designed to be placed in the corners of the room and can significantly save space. Of these, sofas with an ottoman stand out - a wide, soft ottoman instead of one corner.
• – Modular sofas are a universal choice for any room. Consists of several blocks that can be used separately.
• – Island sofas are a rather rare solution. Their advantage is that they can be approached from any direction.

It is equally important to consider the size
of the sofa
. They come in two- and three-seater sizes. If you live alone and rarely have guests, then you can safely buy a double sofa, but if you are a family of three or more people, think about buying a large three-seater sofa. Also, do not forget to consider the size of the room - the sofa should not take up the entire room.

Transformation mechanism

you should choose from your own preferences and the ability of it to work in the size of your room. We will try to highlight the most common of them:

• – The book is the simplest and most common design, often used in budget models. Provides the ability to fix in two positions: sitting and lying down.
• – Click-clack is a further development of the first option, producing a characteristic sound during folding. Additionally, there is a third position for semi-sitting rest. Also common in budget sofas.
• – Accordion - in this design, the berth is divided into three parts, and they not only fold out, but extend longitudinally. Excellent for not too large rooms, as it is extremely compact when folded. But the disadvantage is the increased cost due to the complexity of the design.
• – Dolphin – two parts, one of which is folded and pushed under the other. If necessary, the folded part is pulled out and then unfolded using a lever mechanism. It is common in corner models and has a higher price compared to the “book”.

How to check the reliability of a company?

Just a few questions to ask:

• guarantee period;
• company actions in case of furniture breakdown - serious companies have their own service centers;

• what additional services are provided: is there delivery, installation;
• level of service in the salon.

Depending on their own preferences, each client should have their own checklist. If a brand doesn't meet its checklist, don't rush into it. Sometimes the opinion of others helps you make the right choice - reviews of friends and acquaintances about the brand or their personal successful experience.

Rival

A rating of sofas based on quality would not be complete without Rival. This company was formed recently, but immediately attracted attention:

• cool design;
• loyalty to customers;
• Low prices.

It was Rival that was the first in the Russian Federation to begin producing cover sofas with a metal frame. The design of the sofas is not bad, but it can be done even better. The company makes contact with customers who have ordered exclusive models.
