How we make our furniture.
At Portico we make our furniture the same way it was made over a hundred years ago. Using the same techniques such as 8 WAY HAND TIED SPRINGS,GLUED-DOWELED JOINTS AND FRAME CONSTRUCTION Construction also includes :CONSTRUCTION GRADE STAPLES ,WOOD SCREWS These methods and techniques are all standard with our furniture.
All of our pieces are made with high quality hardwood. For Fully upholstered pieces we use 5/4 Alder wood for the frame construction ,For any exposed wood furniture we can use Red and white oak , walnut , ebony, maple and most any other hardwood per request.
Pieces that have any substantial curves or special radius we use both high grade plywood and hardwood , never just ply.
*Although plywood is a great material to use in certain aspects of furniture , we stand by using hardwood for quality high end furniture made to last.
We use HR Upholstery grade Foam . Which is standard for high end furnishings
