Frame
An upholstered product frame needs to be judged on strength, the ability to absorb punishment and
proportion design to insure a comfortable and long lasting support structure for the suspension and
cushions.
Frame construction can vary from air dried plywood, which is glued and stapled, to kiln dried hardwood
which is glued, doweled and corner blocked.
Shoreline Upholstery is constructed of 7/8" kiln dried hardwoods. All components are precision cut on
computer controlled machine tools for precision and repeatability. All wood joints are interlocked,
glued, and reinforced with corner blocks to provide long term strength and durability.

Suspension System
The upholstered product suspension system is designed to tie into the frame and provide a solid,
consistent and long lasting support system for the cushions.
There are 4 general support systems used:
Web
Sinuous Spring
Drop In Coil
Eight Way Hand Tied
Eight Way Hand Tied is the oldest system, is considered the best by many and is the most expensive.
The purpose of tying the springs 8 ways (up, down and on the diagonals) is to insure all of the springs
work together.
Drop In Coil is a pre-assembled, machine-made and machine-tied coil system which has been growing
in popularity as a very durable and cost effective method to achieve the performance of a traditional 8
way hand tied system without the expense.
Shoreline products use a high quality Drop-In Coil Unit as a standard as it provides an excellent
balance of comfort, durability and cost. We also offer an Eight Way Hand Tied option for a 7-9% up
charge.
