What should you look for when shopping for a new piece of furniture? This depends on your unique needs and what you hope to gain. Do you need a comfortable sofa or loveseat to help with your aching back? Do you need extra-long living room furniture to accommodate all your houseguests during the holidays? Maybe you’re tired of your squeaking chair and want to upgrade your recliner with a higher-grade construction? Or perhaps you want something for your game room or home office that you can show off?
We know that for you as a shopper, it can be difficult to shop for furniture as your needs vary. Finding the right piece of furniture is always a unique experience that you want to be confident in. That's why we created our own rating system for our most trusted furniture brands. If you remember our last article, we discussed the top bronze-rated furniture brands, and in this blog, we’re talking about the top silver-rated furniture brands.
Our silver rating holds a slight edge over the bronze-rated products in terms of quality, and you’ll have more options to choose from with a greater selection of brands. Silver products still fall under the value-tier, so you’ll certainly get a lot of bang for your buck, but you’ll also find each product offers slightly enhanced construction materials and features that will add to the lasting value.
In this article, we’re exploring three of our favorite silver-rated furniture brands: Benchcraft, Signature Design by Ashley, and Standard Furniture.
The Benefits of Benchcraft
Benchcraft provides home-makeover quality furniture at a price that seems too good to be true. You can start believing because this quality brand has been revived by one of the world’s top furniture manufacturers, Ashley. Bencraft creates designer pieces and sets that are also practical and family-friendly.
The brand is made tough, offering quality upholstered furniture, including sofas, sectionals, recliners, ottomans, accent chairs, and more. You'll find a wide selection of styles, wood finishes, upholstery colors, and collections to suit any room in the house. Whether you’re looking for neutral hues or bold patterns, you’re bound to find a piece of furniture to add style and comfort to your living space.
Benchcraft Dining Room Furniture
If you’re looking for a large dining set to accommodate dinner parties, or a smaller counter-height set for game nights, Benchcraft dining room furniture has plenty of options with your lifestyle in mind. A very versatile Benchcraft product to consider is this dining room extension table in a warm, brown-wood finish. It's very spacious, comfortably seating six people, and the expansion leaf provides additional table space for houseguests. It’s made with acacia veneers and engineered wood for quality construction, and the creative storage solution features a built-in shelf along the base to store dining necessities or display decorations.
Benchcraft Bedroom Furniture
We can all appreciate the dignity of a rustic bedroom set, and Benchcraft bedroom furniture has all the design solutions you desire. This Benchcraft nightstand exudes durability and acts as an impressive sidekick next to your bed. A reclaimed-wood, butcher-block finish and spacious drawers with antiqued gunmetal handles further cement its rustic appeal, while a USB charging port makes it distinctively modern and adds a level of convenience you’ll love.
Benchcraft Living Room Furniture
If kids or pets have ever made you say, “this is why we can’t have nice things,” it may be time to upgrade your furniture and find a product that can withstand a little wear and tear. Benchcraft living room furniture is your solution when you need a big couch with an edgy design that can handle the occasional kick or spill. You can find a sleeper sofa or sectional anywhere, but Benchraft’s Nuvella performance fabric is soft to the touch, stain-resistant, and a breeze to clean.
