England furniture uses three quarter and seven eights inch, frame grade plywood in its frame construction, no oriented strand board (OSB). We reinforce all our frames with generous amounts of hardwood lumber. Our frame construction is among the best in the industry. That’s why we offer a lifetime frame warranty on all the units we produce.
England Furniture employs 14 computerized routers to insure that every frame is cut to exact specifications. Our high quality furniture grade plywood and our frame design, with interlocking construction, ensure maximum strength and durability. We back all our frames with a lifetime warranty.
England arms are engineered to last. Note the placement and number of hardwood arm sticks in the England arm assembly shown below (left). England uses 3/4 and 7/8 inch precision cut plywood reinforced with generous quantities of hardwood. Other brands make extensive use of oriented strand board. Guide notches (A ) insure proper placement of arm sticks.

C. The bottom leg rail is recessed into the front rail creating additional support and insuring proper placement by our frame assembly team.
England furniture uses hardwood lumber to connect sinuous wire springs in our frames. Spring clips are applied by computer controlled clipping machines that ensure our spring spacing is constant. We double spring the ends of each sofa and loveseat to prevent fall off at the arm of the unit. We use heavy gauge wire springs. With over 40 pounds of torque per spring, our frames are extremely well built. Note (in the pictures below) how spring rails are recessed into perpendicular joints. These construction techniques allow us to offer a lifetime frame warranty on all England product!
