Beds, like most other furniture products, are incredibly expensive. Because of this, and because they are so large, most furniture stores only stock a medium amount and a medium range of products. This can often mean trawling several stores before finding the right bed.

Whether you are looking for a single bed, a three quarter, a double, a queen sized or a king sized bed, you will have a long search ahead of you to find the perfect bed. Even if you look online and find one that you like stocked by a particular store, you will still have to ensure that the chain closest to you stocks it before you can buy it.

Buying beds online

If you are not looking forward to trawling the bed shops in person, you should look into buying online. Nothing could be simpler, more efficient and less time consuming than shopping online. From clothing to office supplies to vehicles, shopping online is gaining momentum in all areas of society. More and more people are looking into doing at least some of their shopping online, whether it is just their Christmas shopping or whether it is everything from their children’s school supplies to their monthly groceries.

There are many reputable furniture stores who sell beds and who have websites from which they do some of their sales. There are also many companies who focus entirely on selling their furniture online. You can also find beds on websites like Bid or Buy, Gumtree and other online classifieds and auction sites. There are many people who put out advertisements for beds on these websites and you can find brand new and second hand beds in all the different brands from single to king sized and everything in between.

Buying furniture in today’s world is stressful because of how expensive everything has become. For a small cupboard, made out of cheap chipboard and badly stained, you could still pay a huge amount. It seems that it is impossible to find the right piece of furniture that is good quality and suits your needs, at a good price.

What are your options for finding furniture at good prices?

There are several routes to take to find furnishings that you can afford. The following are a few of the possible options.

• Buy from second hand dealerships
• Shop online for good pieces
• Look at print classifieds
• Keep up to date on sales at furniture stores
• Shop for furniture at auctions

Going through an auction might be one of the best ways to find a special piece of furniture.

Buying furniture at an auction

Many furniture enthusiasts shop for their pieces at auctions. There are many furniture auctions that happen regularly all over the country. There are private auctions from house sales, huge auctions with goods from many stores coming in, second hand auctions and antique auctions to name a few.

At an auction, the buyers determine the price meaning that goods will sell for what they are worth rather than the extortionate set price that stores usually demand. Attending a Gauteng furniture auction will allow you to come into contact with a huge variety of furniture of different quality and types and you will undoubtedly find something that suits your needs.

The following is a list of reputable companies who hold successful furniture auctions in Gauteng:

• Russell Kaplan Auctioneers

Russell Kaplan Auctioneers is based in Bordeaux, on the corner of Garden and Allan roads. If you want to sell goods you can contact Russell Kaplan for a valuation on your furniture. This auctioneering company specialises in unusual and interested art, jewellery, furniture and other objects.

• Sandton Auctioneers

You can find Sandton Auctioneers at 8 Burnside Avenue in Craighall Park. This auctioneering company specialises in the sale and appraisal of art, antiques and collectables. They are particularly interested in fine and rare items. The company is a family business and is run by managing director Mehdi Khansefid, who comes from a long line of Persian carpet dealers. Sandton Auctioneers is therefore an expert on Persian carpets and deals in them too.

• Online furniture auctions

There are many online auctioneering sites where you can bid on specific pieces. Bid or Buy and Free Online Auctions are two examples of this type of site. Buying your furniture this way might be quicker and more efficient, but you would have the concern that the seller might not be reputable.

• Aucor

Aucor is one of the country’s leading auctioneering authorities. They offer a large amount of online and real life auctions throughout the country on a huge range of goods. The categories of items that Aucor auctions includes vehicles, property, industrial, construction and agricultural machinery, jewellery, collectables and home and office furniture. Aucor also provides assistance with financing, transport, logistics, appraisals and more.

They have auction branches all over the country including Bloemfontein, Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth and Johannesburg. Outside of the country, there is also a branch in Namibia.

• 5^th Avenue Auctioneers

5^Th Avenue Auctioneers is a long standing auctioneering company based in Craighall Park, Johannesburg at 404 Jan Smuts Avenue. They specialise in deceased estates and liquidation sales and the items on sale include antiques, art, collectables, Persian carpet and furniture. 5^th Avenue Auctioneers was established in 1985 and has a reputation as a trusted and respected auction house. They hold auctions monthly, sometimes several a month.

The South African Institute of Auctioneers (SAIA)

The SAIA is a body that aims to protect both auctioneers and their customers. Make sure that you choose to buy from an auctioneering company that is a member of the SAIA as their membership is proof of their commitment to ethics and respect for the customer.

Most items are costly, even at good prices, and you will be choosing a piece of furniture that you will have to look at, maintain and use for the next few years at least. You will want to make a good decision and ensure that you have no regrets. Consider the following to shop wisely.

• Make sure you know what you want. Before you leave the house or order online, make sure you know what sort of furniture you want and how it will be used.
• Take measurements of the area that you want to place it in so that you do not get something that is either too big or too small.
• Take a photograph of the room you will be putting it in, or the other furniture it will stand next to. You do not want to make the mistake of buying something that does not match the rest of your furniture.

What is Gumtree?

Gumtree is an online classified that started in the UK in 2000. The creators aimed to create a local London classifieds to allow movers and newcomers to the city to find accommodation, employment, furniture, and to meet people in the community. Today, Gumtree covers 60 cities in countries such as New Zealand, Poland, the UK, and South Africa. Gumtree once featured as one of the top 20 websites in the UK, and is widely used for buying and selling of a vast range of items, as well as for job and accommodation opportunities.

Gumtree is a user-friendly classified that allows you to place or create Gum tree furniture ads for free. If you are a private seller, you can list furniture items that you no longer need for others to browse. You can sell any furniture item. People wanting to buy furniture items can then chooser certain search criteria such as price range, location and furniture type and browse all the relevant ads. Because you can choose a particular region, this makes it easier to do fact to face sales and save on delivery costs. Buying face to face is also a safer way of doing business transactions with strangers.

Selling on Gumtree

If you have furniture to sell on Gumtree, placing an ad is a relatively easy and quick process. All you have to do is click on the button to place an ad on the Gumtree homepage, write a short description of the furniture you are selling, provide a picture (if possible), and decide which category you would like to place your ad in. You can provide your contact details directly on the advert, or you can just give your email address to Gumtree. People interest in your furniture will then be able to respond to your ad via email on the website, with Gumtree forwarding the email to your address.

Stay Safe

When it comes to online classifieds (especially those that are free, there are predators and scam out there so you do need to be vigilant to ensure you are not being duped. Here are some tips for staying safe when you buy and sell furniture and other items online:

• Meet in person when you arrange to see the item and exchange money. Gumtree aims to encourage local face-to-face trading as this is the safest way of doing business. To ensure personal safety, always bring along someone with you and if someone will be visiting your home or business, ask the person to provide his/her identity and proof of their qualification.
• Never send your furniture item before you receive the money for it.
• Don’t trust people who ask you to use Money Gram, Western Union and other payment services before you have the furniture item you are buying.
• Remember that Gumtree doesn’t offer any payment programs or buyer protection, so if you receive emails of this nature (even if they bear the Gumtree logo) they are scams and should be reported.
• When buying expensive items such as furniture, laptops, mobile phones, plasma TVs, tickets for shows, and airline tickets be extra vigilant and take special care to ensure that the deal is legitimate.
• Never give anyone else your banking or other personal information online.
• Keep on top of the latest common fraud and scams so that you can see them coming a mile away.

Any suspicious activity and attempted fraud should always be reported to Gumtree, or even to the police.  Essentially, you just need to use your common sense when it comes to buying or selling furniture online; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true.

How to order from the furniture catalogue:

If you see a must-have furniture item in the furniture catalogue at Mr Price Home, your first step is to contact or visit your local Mr Price Home branch to see if they have the item in stock. Due to size constraints, not all of the items advertised will be sold at every store, but you won’t have to drive to the warehouse if your local outlet doesn’t have your prized piece. Rather, place an order at the store, where the store assistant will create an order for you on the system administration. You will need to provide item information and your details, as well as an order deposit (of a minimum of 50% of the total furniture item cost). This amount can be paid via the internet, in-store, or though a bank transfer before your item can be delivered. Once the order is made, an Order Document will be issued and a Customer Liaison will check for the availability of the item you ordered. If the item is in stock, you will be contacted to finalise the logistics of your delivery.

How much will delivery cost?

The delivery charge for the item you have ordered is based on the distance the item will be delivered. The minimum charge is R285 for 50km or less, R385 for 100km or less, and R483 for distances of 101km-150km. If the distance is over 150km, an additional R6.50 will be charged per km.

If you visit a Mega, Ultra, or Super store, you can purchase furniture items you like directly off the floor or from the stockroom and pay at the cashier. These stores have stock of items stored in stockrooms, so you are more likely to be able to find the furniture that you like without having to place a special order. If you are buying an item in storage, you will be issued with a collection note once you have paid for it. You use this document to collect your furniture from the store’s despatch area.

With such a range of furniture items at affordable prices, you will be spoilt for choice when you browse through the Mr Price Home furniture catalogue.

Lounge furniture made from Italian leather may be pricey, but many people say it is worth the heavy tag. Our couches, sofas and lounge furniture are some of the most used pieces in the house so it’s worth finding lounge furniture that is durable, comfortable and easy on the eye. Italian leather lounge furniture meets all of these requirements.

What makes Italian leather so special?

Leather in Italy is produced largely by hand, with hides inspected very carefully before they are treated. Only the best hides are accepted and the entire leather production process is riddles with quality inspection checks. Many Italian leather producers will only use full grain leather, the leather from the hide’s top. This is the best cut of the hide and is known for its supple qualities.

To finish off the leather-making process, many Italians will use only the best quality chemicals and dyes to ensure that each leather product is durable and consistently of high standard. Italian leather is known to hold its shape and doesn’t wrinkle as easily as leather produced locally or in other parts of the world.

Home furnishings made with Italian leather will sell for premium prices, but because of their quality there is a market to support the production of Italian leather lounge furniture and other home accessories.

Where can I get Italian leather lounge furniture?

• At Classic Living (http://classicliving.co.za/) you can choose from a range of classic Italian leather lounge furniture of exceptional quality and unique style. This furniture is designed to last a lifetime, somewhat justifying the wallet-wrenching prices.
• KR & Sons is another supplier of Italian leather lounge furniture. Here you can choose from 58 different patterns and colours to fit your particular design scheme.

How do I care for leather lounge furniture?

When you have invested in Italian leather lunge furniture, it is important to keep it clean and well-maintained; no one wants to be sitting on old socks, coins, dust and a host of unwanted sofa guests.

Leather is a unique material that requires special cleaning techniques to keep it looking as good as new. Because all leather is different and has different stains, colours, and treatments, it must be cleaned accordingly.

However there are some general hints and tips to keep your Italian leather tops:

• An Italian leather lounge furniture item would have been finished, so there are a few basic ways to get it clean. To wipe off grime, take a soft cloth that is slightly damp and some soap. You can gently rub the soap on the leather before wiping it dry with another clean cloth.
• Don’t use anything too wet or it may damage your leather.
• Use gentle soap that it not too coarse.
• When the couch has dried, use a leather formula with deep conditioning properties to work into and treat the leather. To find the right treatment, you can ask the retailer you bought the furniture from.
• Be careful! The wrong product on your particular leather material could change its colour. A good idea is to test any product on a small part of the leather that is usually unseen. Wait to see what happens in this area before you tackle the whole sofa.
• For ink stains, try spraying them with hairspray before wiping.
• If grease is the grimy problem, use a clean cloth to blot the stain. Try corn starch or talc powder to fight the stain, but don’t rub it into the leather. Let it settle on the stain for a few hours before you wipe it off.
• For pet stains or blood, just wipe with a clean, damp cloth and let the area dry.

Boardmans had its beginnings as a hardware store named Sam Newman’s. Tom Boardman purchased two retail outlets of this store in November 1982 and started South Africa’s first homeware store. The business grew and gained Pick ‘n Pay as a financial partner in June 1984. The company was taken over by the Pick ‘n pay group in 1986 and opened up in 26 locations around the country.

Boardman’s was integrated into the Edcon group from 1 April 2004. This allowed the Boardmans franchise to enter into a new market of kitchenware, table top goods and home decor using its well-established and reputable brand name and existing customer base. The Chief Executive Officer of Edcon was only too happy to aquire the partnership of Boardmans, as the company had a successful turnover of R211 million for the year ended 2003.

The Oregon Pine tree (also known as the Douglas Fir, Rocky Mountain Douglas Fir and a host of other regional names) is an evergreen tree indigenous to Canada and the North-Western parts of the United States. The wood has pronounced colour differences between its early-wood and late-wood, with the heartwood much darker than the sapwood. The colour ranges from a light yellow to a reddish brown, often with prominent rings showing the tree’s growth. The grain of the Oregon pine is usually straight, but can also be spiral or wavy. This means that Oregon wood has distinctive markings on sawn surfaces, with a few resin ducts and pockets.  The dried timber from the tree is relatively durable, with an average weight of 530 kilograms per cubed metre.

What is Oregon wood used for?

Oregon Pine was a popular choice in the late 1800s and early 1900s, used in living and working quarters. A more formal hardwood would be put to use in public areas such as the dining room.

Today, along with being used for furniture, Oregon has a number of different applications, including:

• Heavy construction
• Masts
• Piling
• Harbour and dock work
• Joinery
• Flooring
• Ship and barge building
• Roof trusses
• Plywood and veneer

Where can I find antique Oregon furniture?

At Historic Woods (http://www.historicwoods.net/AntiqueTimbers/AntiqueDouglasFirTimber2.html), the company specialised in taking antique Oregon Pine timber from old locations and giving it a renewed look . The wood is sawed to particular sizes and down to the brighter wood, still often with historic nail marks, deep patina and bolt holes. The wood can then be put to use for timer framing and construction.

At Elmwood Reclaimed Timber (http://www.elmwoodreclaimedtimber.com/wood.aspx?pgID=3627), the company reclaims large amount of Oregon pine wood from old warehouses and factories. This wood is usually recovered in the form of dimensional lumber and large beams. This antique wood is then refinished and resurfaced to make wood tops (popular in restaurants and bars) and other furniture items.

A South African stockist of Oregon furniture is the Purple Chair (http://www.thepurplechair.co.za/wproduct_groups.php?gi=2543). Visit their website or contact them directly as they may be able to help you source the antique Oregon furniture you are after.

How do I care for antique Oregon furniture?

If you are lucky enough to find or be given an antique Oregon furniture piece, don’t worry too much if it has a few dents or scratches. These markings tell the piece’s story and form part of its history. If you want to give your furniture some care, you can re-finish the antique to give it a new look. With an orbital, you can sand down and remove previous finishes and coatings. Before applying a new coating, first sand paper the item down once more with both 340 grade and 150 grade sand paper by hand. You can then apply the first coat of your chosen finish.

Between each coat (once it has fully dried), use 340-400 fine grade sand paper, applied by hand. You will usually need about 3 or 4 coats of the new finish, but you can keep applying until you are happy with its depth. Lastly, you can use 0000 grade steel wool to buff the new surface and follow this with some bees wax polish.

Using a natural polish such as bees wax is best for antique furniture, as it is closer to what was previously used to treat the item before the modern onset of chemicals and other treatments. You can also consider suing products such as Danish oil, tung oil, or linseed oil.

Antique Oregon furniture is not always easy to come by, so learn to recognise the wood so that you can identify it in at antique shop or at an auction sale.

What is more is that Gumtree allows you to choose which region you live in and find out exactly what is for sale in your region. This means that you can purchase any piece of furniture you like from a seller who lives close to or in your area. What is more is that even if the furniture is new, you can end up paying a great deal less than you would if you were to purchase the furniture from store.

If you are looking to sell your furniture on Gumtree and become part of the crowd of people who have placed  their furniture for sale on Gumtree, it really is a quick and simple process. All you have to do is register on the site, put up some photos, write a little bio about what you are selling, and supply your contact details. You can either place your full contact details on the site in your bio or you can alternatively just supply Gumtree with your email address and then if people are interested, Gumtree will forward on their requests to your email address.

I do however have to provide you with some words of caution. Firslty, never invite someone to your home to view the furniture that you are selling if you are home alone. We have all heard those horror stories or watched those episodes of CSI Miami where serial killer pray on people who have been selling products online. As harmless as the person may seem over email, it is vital that you do not leave yourself open to any sort of harm. Secondly, I advise that you do some price shopping before purchasing anything from a private seller on Gumtree. You may find yourself paying more for something that you could get from a shop.

It is therefore imperative that you make sure you know what the products are worth in store before you purchase online. Thirdly, if you are purchasing second hand goods, it is essential that before you purchase, you ensure that you are not purchasing faulty goods which a seller is just trying to get out of the house and that doesn’t actually work.

Gumtree is a great portal for anything that you are looking for whether it be new or used furniture, apartments or flats to put that new furniture in, and even the job that you need to be able to afford what you are buying. This site is a great portal for everything you can think of and the way in which it lets you narrow down your searches to makes finding what you need all that much easier.

What is more is that Gumtree is an international site and therefore not only can you choose between provinces in South Africa, but you can visit the Gumtree portal for cities such as London. This means that if you are planning on relocating and are looking for accomodation, jobs, and furniture to furnish your latest your new apartment in the hustle and bustle of London, then you can do this all on one portal. It really is quick and simple to find everything that you could possibly need, all in one location.

Wooden garden benches are known to withstand the elements and are often used as commemorative pieces that are placed in special places in remembrance of people that have passed. Along most beachfronts and promenades, you will find wooden benches with plaques attached dedicated to people that have passed. Many schools also have these wooden benches as a way to remember former staff members, or founders. Due to the durability of these benches, they can be kept around for decades in order to remember those that have passed and therefore they are great for sentimental pieces of furniture.
