Key features to consider when buying library seating

Colours: The upholstery material colour choice should be a mid colour and not too dark or light. Dark colours show up marks and dirt more than mid colours.
Seat material: Vinyl should always be used on the seat and fabric to the back if needed. It is wipeable and easy to maintain compared to fabric.
Movable furniture: If you do not need to move your modular library furniture around make sure the units are connected together to keep the furniture looking tidy.
Quiet areas: Select high back sofas to increase the privacy and quietness.
