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.

Pictures of wooden garden and pub benches in South Africa:

If you are in the market for quality wooden furniture then there are a number of wooden furniture specialists in South Africa. These specialists make a variety of products from wooden benches, to tables, deck chairs, and so much more. This means that you can completely kit out your garden for any occasion or need. Some of the suppliers in South Africa of wooden benches include Benches Africa, Bench Master, B Cubed Benches. The majority of high end furniture stores also have a range of wooden furniture for you to choose from, it all just depends what kind of style you are looking for and the price that you are willing to pay.

Another common use of wooden benches include school benches. Schools across the country need to provide seating for thousands of students during their tea and lunch breaks and these durable pieces of furniture are extremely cost effective.

Wooden benches on their own are not the most comfortable pieces of furniture on the planet and therefore you can customise your wooden furniture to meet your styles by adding cushions in your favourite patterns and designs. These obviously will require maintenance in terms of bringing them inside if there are storms for example, but they really can complete you outside area and keep it in line with the rest of your house hold furniture.

For the romantics out there, there is nothing better than sitting under a big tree on a wooden bench that is steeped in history. Benches that are found in parks and public places often tell stories of lovers who sat on them with their engravings. The plaques that are placed on some of the benches on the promenades stretching along the beaches of the country tell a story of loved ones lost and the place that they have left in their loved ones lives. All in all wooden benches are great for anything. Why not start making your own memories by purchasing one today and donating it to your favourite park.

Now if you are wondering how Savells Fairdeal furnishers have achieved such high customer service standards and such customer loyalty? Well they believe in listening to their customers and this has resulted in them discovering their needs and meeting them. What is more is that this organisation will not hire staff unless they can prove that they have a dedication to excellent customer service. What is more is that, once hired, each staff member is continuously trained to ensure the highest standards are met and that they will never falter in terms of their product knowledge and service skills.

Savells additionally only hire staff with an attitude with the following attributes:

1. Passionate about ensuring the continued success of the business through excellent customer service
2. Problem solvers
3. Highly efficient
4. Excellence in any task undertaken
5. Team player

What is more is that they continuously aim to improve their customer service by means of courtesy calls. This allows this organisation to gather feedback which they can use to constructively improve their staff’s skills. They additionally encourage their clients to take part in customer feedback initiatives. This open door policy has allowed Savells to communicate with their clients in a way in which they will respond to and that will provide them with a feeling of outstanding customer service. They also do not see their customers as one-time buyers, but rather as lifelong partners and therefore they believe that creating relationships with their customer is essential.

The only area of downfall in terms of customer service is that they have not yet updated their website to provide their customers with the opportunity to look through their products online. In addition to this, they also do not have the facilities to allow their customers to purchase online. What they do however have is a store locator tool which will help you in finding the stores closest to your house. Another thing that they need to update is their promotions page as their promotions currently on their website are two years old. I find this surprising seeing as this organisation prides itself on ensuring great customer service, yet they have missed their online customers in their entirety.

Should you wish to work at one of these stores, there is however an online application form that you can fill out and send directly to their HR manager. Although due to the fact that their website is outdated, I would not rely on this form of job application should you wish to work there.

Regardless of their website and the updating of it, Savells Fairdeal offers great quality products with great value for money. In addition to this, these stores do not believe in letting their customers down and their customer service abilities are fantastic. All you need to do is pop down to your nearest store and see what they have to offer. If you find something that you like, this store offers credit to their customers too so why not check it out today.

The saying goes “From humble beginnings come great things” and this is exactly the case with Wetherly’s. Approximately forty years ago in a garage in Auckland Park, Johannesburg, this family business began. They started off introducing yellow wood antiques, handmade furniture, and a selection of imported products such as porcelain to South Africa. From here their business has just exploded over the years and as demand has grown, so has their offering. Wetherly’s was the first company to introduce the idea of warehouse retail space and today they have over thirty of these types of branches located in cities across the country.

As the product grew, it became evident that customers required more choice. With the prohibitive cost of conventional retail space, the idea of the “Warehouse”concept was sparked. These days, Wetherlys operates in excess of 30 branches around the country. Their established brand means that they have become a household name in the furniture and décor industry and are now regarded as one of the trendsetters in terms of design as well as accessories. This has all contributed to the demand for catalogues of furniture for you home and as a reflection of the brand, these catalogues have to be of the finest quality and beautifully designed.

Wetherly’s believe that their success can be attributed to a number of factors:

1. A balance between imported and locally manufactured products
2. High quality and exclusivity of products
3. Trend watching and trend setting
4. The opportunity for their customers to request bespoke furniture

All of this combined has lead to over 60 000 pieces of magical furniture being selected by the Whetherly’s team and brought to you over the years. What is more is that the Whetherly’s team has a true understanding of their markets needs and as such have incorporated the latest pieces and designs in to room settings in there stores so that you can imagine what things could look like together and see how they could be incorporated in to your home. These room designs are reflected perfectly in their catalogues. Should you not be able to find the latest edition and desperately want to get some great advise and tips on how to refurbish a room, then have no fear as you can view the wonderful pages of the catalogue online at www.wetherlys.co.za.

For many South African’s Wetherly’s has become a part of the family and this can be attributed to it starting out as a family business and having a deep understanding of South African family needs. This understanding is then translated across their stores and in the products that they select for you to feast your eyes on, or if you are lucky to have your hands on. If you are looking to redo a room or buy a signature piece for your room, then why not visit one of the stores closest to you and get advice from one of the many qualified people in store. If you just want to take a look that is great as this brand is all about inspiring new looks for every home.

But you may still find yourself wondering why before buying furniture – consider reupholstering your old? Well some design experts have the following reasons:

1. Reupholstering an old piece can add character to a room. This can be especially necessary in a room that has become too modern and needs that little touch to make it seem all the more homely.
2. Reupholstering is better for the environment then purchasing new products. You will find that upholstered furniture is cropping up more and more in green minded interior designers repertoire. The same principle is being used not only in furniture but in tiling and other areas of the home.

However, before you begin the reupholstering, you need to determine if the piece of furniture is worth it or not. Another important thing to establish is if the piece of furniture is an antique or not as reupholstering an antique could lead to it decreasing in value if the way in which it is constructed is altered.  Many designers say that the best place to look when you want to reupholster is family heirlooms as these pieces will have some sort of sentimental value to the owner and therefore the benefit of reupholstering will most likely outweigh any cost involved.

Another important factor to consider when determining if the piece of furniture is worth being restored to its former glory, is the work that will be involved. For example if the damage to the furniture, let’s use a couch as an example, is extensive such as the springs are in a bad condition, it may just not be worth it. If this is the case, then unless the couch has sentimental value, it does not seem worth the cost.

So if you are in the market for a new couch, think about reupholstering it. Determine how much it’ll cost you to do this buy sourcing the type of material that you want. From here you can either provide a re-upholsterer to do the job for you, or you can do it yourself. This however requires specific tools which may end up being more expensive if you do not already have them on hand.

All in all, if you want to freshen up a room and are looking to buy a new item of furniture, you are going to end up spending some money. The difference between how much you spend depends on whether or not you believe that the piece of furniture you are looking to replace is worth replacing or if you should re-upholster it instead. If you are concerned with the environment and are looking for another way in which to do your part, you can recycle your furniture by reupholstering it as you will not be helping the mass manufacturers sell more and more furniture by buying from them.
