Furniture

One of the biggest mistakes owners make when purchasing furniture is to sacrifice quality for price. A little research in this department can really pay off. Upholstered pieces should be covered with a fabric which will clean easily and resist sunfading. Alwyas try to get woven instead of printed fabrics. Look for some of the new acrylics, olefins and polyester blends in addition to the traditional cottons. These fibers add strength and cleanbility, and are less likely to sunfade a fast as 100% cotton. Sleeper sofas should have at least a 5" innerspring mattress and a commercial mechanism is advisable as the unit could be opened and closed 365 times in one year!

Dining tables and occasional tables should be easily cleanable. We do not advise "free-floating" glass tops on any table (this means a piece of glass sitting freely on some sort of base) as this can be an accident waiting to happen. You may want to invest in some coasters where you think renters may put down a sweaty glass.

Bedroom furniture should be attractive and functional. Remember to concentrate on the master bedroom, as this is likely the quarters for the person who will pay the bill and re-book your unit next year. A dirty or faded bedspread is the worst possible turnoff! Pillows and mattresses should still have their original shape.

The balcony furniture should be an extension of the interior of your unit as your renter will spend a lot of time enjoying our beautiful views. Ask your rental agent what is recommended in your complex.
