We are asked by our clients what is Eight-Way String Hand Tied- the process takes skill and patience. Now, if every upholsterer could work at the speed created by the time lapse - patience is a virtue but it also cost too! It takes more time and labor to build 8-way hand-tied spring systems and furniture pieces featuring this type of construction are typically more expensive. This system helps craftsman build upholstered furniture that is soft, supportive, flexible, and comfortable.
