just my $.02, I have always liked sectionals in an informal room, I don't like clutter on a corner table between 2 sofas and a small lamp. I use a big coffee table for stuff. feet propped up, drink coasters, few mags, a plant, etc. You can get gorgeous floor lamps classic,modern that can go next to or behind the piece. i have a few pillows in the corner and a throw. and no, nobody who visits sits in the corner. I sit in it when I nap or lay out to watch tv. and btw, LOVE your fireplace, and you have a huge and high space to make it work. Sectionals seem to take up more room, but I swear, they make the room BIGGER in my opinion. :)

I am in the process of looking for a sectional sofa. Has anyone heard of a brand Lilly Laine? The sofa is very comfortable and is 8 way hand tied I'm told. I just have not been able to find any information on the web. thanks, Carol

Older thread - I found this thread because I was looking for honest comments about COCOCO Home. I assume others in my situation will also stumble upon it. First, please know that the following is not intended to be a judgment re: the quality (or lack thereof) of furniture offered by COCOCO Home. I have no personal knowledge/information on this business. I am still researching several possible sources for two leather (requested by my SO) accent chairs for the hearth area in my kitchen. The only ”experience” I have re: leather furniture is one purchase made many years ago (Lillian August leather wingback chair + ottoman w downfilled cushions - which still looks great). The only reason I’m adding a comment is to call out the comment right above mine from 5 months ago. It appears to be very suspect. Based upon the content, I decided to look at the user: this is the ONLY activity @77norman77 has on Houzz. No ideas/inspiration photos saved + no other posts/comments. It just appears to contain way too many details that a typical review by a customer would not have. Also, not only did the user specifically address the areas re: construction that would typically be ”attacked” when discussing whether a sofa is of good quality, the user added more information basically ”defending” COCOCO’s choice to use construction practices that are considered ”sub-par” by high end furniture makers (for example, using plywood instead of real hardwood + a separately installed pocket coil suspension instead of integrated 8 way hand tied coils). I only know about these areas of construction because I am a bit “OCD” about researching information + reading many reviews prior to making larger purchases (it drives my SO crazy - it’s actually kind of debilitating because sometimes it becomes very difficult for me to actually pull the trigger on actually making a purchase). If the above post was made by an actual unbiased customer, I apologize for questioning your motives. I’ve just read so many reviews over the past few days where customers have spent significant (“significant” = what a reasonably knowledgeable Houzz user would consider to be a large amount of $ spent on a couch - not what Houzz professionals would consider significant - very different!) sums of money on sofas/sectionals/accent chairs, only to be very disappointed at the lack of quality after a few months of use. I don’t want the above comment to influence someone’s purchase when it sounds much more like an advertisement than an actual customer review.

We have a sectional with ottoman attached to the chaise side and two chairs. Also a large rectangular table. We sit nightly at this as a family of five and love it. Super comfy and awesome. Lots of space to stretch out and relax for all of us. When friends come over or family we have zero issues with the woes that get debated regarding sectionals and wouldn’t change it one bit.
