Any updates on how the bryden sectional has held up throughout the years? i really had my heart set on it but then came across this thread that caused some concern in regards to the tufts. we are moving and this would be our largest furniture investment so need it to be worth it. thoughts on everett as an alt?

I think the sofa is beautiful, and ours is in a little used living room, but you want a sofa or sectional you don't have to worry about when you sit on it, and I think the buttons and the tuftingmake that problematic on this one.

You could add bookcases to the back wall, but you don't have to. Really to define the space we might suggest a larger rug so that the entire desk and chair fit on it, along with some filing cabinets or bookcases behind it. Below are some ideas for you from a few office designs of ours:
