Featured image: cracked particle-board frame vs. your kiln-dried hardwood frame side-by-side
Colorado is brutal on furniture: 7 % humidity in winter, 90 °F summers, and altitude that makes wood move like crazy. We see it every week in our Denver showroom: customers bringing in photos of their $3,000 “big box” sofa that split at the seams after one season.
Here are the 5 silent killers in Colorado homes — and exactly how we engineer around every single one at Anna Goods:
- Humidity swings → particle board and pine frames explode → We use only kiln-dried hardwood dried to 6–8 % moisture content (the same standard as $15k custom pieces)
- Dry air makes cheap foam brittle → We use 2.5 lb high-resiliency foam that stays plush for 15+ years
- Sun pouring through west-facing windows → Every performance fabric is UV-rated 1,000+ hours (most brands stop at 200)
- Dog nails + kids + ski boots → 100,000+ double-rub fabrics standard (Wayfair averages 15k)
- Altitude makes glue joints fail → Every joint is glued + screwed + corner-blocked (not just stapled)
Real Denver proof: the 9-year-old charcoal sectional in our showroom that still looks brand new — same fabric, same frame we sell today.
