CONSTRUCTION & MATERIALS
All Duralee Fine Furniture, Inc. is made to the exacting specifications referenced and to the highest quality industry standards.

All fully upholstered items are constructed utilizing 5/4 kiln dried hardwood frames that have individually placed eight-way hand tied coil seat construction. Bases utilize interlaced webbing and/or steel bands added for added support. All fully upholstered and exposed wood seating selections have double doweled, glued and screwed reinforced or webbing corner blocks. A few select lounge and dining chair frames will have fixed seats with sinuous springs when eight way hand tied is not applicable.

Upholstered backs have continuous wire spring applications for superior support and comfort when the finest marshall units are not used. Arms are constructed with polypropylene and blended cotton covering the inside and outside of the arm for added shape and strength. Polypropylene covers all back and seat springs for added support and stability. Cotton blend insulator covers the polypropylene seat and back springs for added support and stability. Edge roll construction is utilized on arms and seats, when style dictates, to give added quality, appearance and shape.

All legs are created as an integral part of the frame when applicable. Legs on certain fully upholstered items are screwed in with reinforcing lag bolts for added stability. Each leg, for any skirted item, is manufactured with levelers for height adjustments based on carpet or flooring adaptation. Nylon glides are standard on all legs.

All exposed wood dining chairs, bar stools, beds and benches are made of select solid maple, alder or beech and utilize the same materials and construction techniques as our fully upholstered items: corner blocked, double doweled with screws and glue. Nylon glides are standard on all legs.

All tables are made of premium kiln dried hardwoods and premium veneers. All joints are double doweled with reinforced corner blocks. All drawers are dovetail construction with high quality enamel coated, side mounted metal glides. All drawers have a clear coat finish. Nylon glides are standard on all legs.
