Strength in Foundation
The quality of upholstered furniture starts with the frame. Stickley uses a combination of kiln-dried solid wood and engineered hardwood laminates to create a stable base that resists shifting, cracking, or weakening over time. This includes durable oak, cherry, walnut, maple, and mahogany wood.
To reinforce that structure, joints are carefully constructed using interlocking methods or are double-doweled, corner blocked, and glued. This helps prevent loosening and movement over time, even with daily use. This creates a frame that stays solid and dependable, supporting both comfort and durability for years to come.
Advanced Suspension Systems
What sits beneath the cushions plays a huge role in how furniture feels and performs. Stickley uses two primary suspension systems, selected based on the needs of each design.
- 8-Way Hand-Knotted: This traditional method uses steel coils tied together in an 8-way pattern. It creates even support across the seat and allows for consistent movement, helping the furniture maintain comfort over time.
- DuraCoil System: This modern suspension system is used for consistent performance. Each coil is calibrated to provide balanced support and long-term durability, which provides reliable seating for many different designs.
Cushion Construction and Fabric Detail
At Stickley, each fabric is individually cut to ensure proper alignment across the entire piece. Patterns are carefully center-matched or flow-matched so the final result feels balanced. This helps maintain clean lines, consistent patterns, and a finished look that reflects the care Stickley puts into every piece. Upholstered pieces can be fully customized in any of Stickley's fine fabrics and leathers in a range of designs, colors, grades, and qualities (including easy-care performance fabrics).
Cushions are also designed to stay comfortable and functional through years of everyday use. Most seat cushions and back pillows are zippered, which makes care and maintenance simpler. Fill materials are typically enclosed in down-proof ticking to prevent leakage, and buttons are intentionally omitted from cushions with down content to avoid seepage and preserve the integrity of the material. This helps ensure cushions hold their shape over time and continue to perform as expected.
