Our fully upholstered frames are made from a combination of kiln-dried solids and engineered hardwood laminates. To achieve maximum strength, joints are either interlocking or are double-doweled, corner blocked, and glued.

Stickley frames employ one of two support systems. The noise-proof, rust-proof steel-webbing base is a spring in itself and will not sag. In the solid-bottom base, two layers of high-grade polypropylene webbing are reinforced with steel bands to support our eight-way hand-tied springs. Both systems will provide years of service and durability.

Stickley uses only the finest quality, rust-resistant high carbon steel coil springs. These are eight-way hand-knotted with the strongest polyester twine to create a cushion with even support and maximum comfort; extra ties across the front provide even more security. Individual coil spring Marshall units are used in most tight-back designs and provide exceptional support and durability.

The majority of our separate seat cushions and back pillows are zippered, and most cushion and pillow fillings are enclosed in a luxurious down-proof ticking. Buttons are omitted from cushions and pillows with down content to prevent seepage.

Fabrics are individually cut to ensure careful center- or flow-matching of each pattern. A sofa may have as many as 80 individual pieces of fabric that need to be cut to pattern with exceptional accuracy.
