Sofas With Wooden Sides

Who says that every side of a sofa has to be soft?
Regardless of what any furniture maker thinks, nobody today is making truly unique furniture, especially sofas. There may be different ways of styling them, but for the most part, every sofa follows the same basic design inside, then they cover it on all sides with fabric or leather.
For sofa makers, that design helps them cover up all sorts of ugly features of their designs. If you peeled off the soft outer shell of a sofa, you'll see a crude looking inner frame that can be assembled by a novice with a pile of scrap wood and a staple gun. Because nobody ever sees this, the manufacturers can cut a lot of corners on material and labor costs. That makes them very happy, because customers won't know for years that the reason they start to sag is because there're a real mess inside.
Sofa makers aren't the only ones happy with fabric sides. My cat loves the fabric too.
He's not the only one. It's safe to say that every cat in the world loves sofas with fabric sides. A lot.
So, why not make sofas without fabric or leather sides? It won't have any effect on comfort. In fact, it might even force sofa makers to use better materials and construction, and it can open the door to some truly unique designs.
The end result, potentially better made couch that won't encourage cats to scratch.
