Purchase decision: Choosing furniture together 

Anyone looking for a new sofa, wardrobe or table should take family members or friends with them when shopping in a furniture store if possible. The German Furniture Quality Association (DGM) from Fürth advises this. "Almost everyone [...] has loyal advisors who give them security, are honest and accompany them in their everyday lives. They help to make a good purchasing decision," says DGM Managing Director Jochen Winning.

Shopping together is not only more fun, but the furniture can also be examined more closely together. The DGM advises testing the furniture accordingly. In the case of a sofa, the seating and reclining comfort can be tested, doors and drawers of cupboards should be opened several times and tables should be checked to see if they wobble.

According to the DGM, customers can not only check the quality of furniture in person, but also on the basis of quality seals such as the "Golden M". According to the DGM, this RAL quality mark is based on strict quality and testing regulations and is considered the strictest proof of furniture quality in Europe - for furniture for the living room, bathroom or kitchen as well as for office, garden or children's room furniture.
