HDB furniture: Assessing structural integrity before purchase

Inspect the joints, look for signs of water damage or warping, and test the stability of the structure.

Check for loose joints, chipped surfaces, and fabric stains or tears.

Apply pressure to different areas of the table to check for wobbling or instability.

Check the material and construction of the shelves, and consider how the weight is distributed.

Examine the frame, springs, and upholstery for signs of wear or sagging.

Place the chair on a level surface and check for wobbling. Apply pressure to each leg individually to assess stability.
