Vanguard is a high quality product and would be a good choice if it were in your price range. If you go to their website you could review their construction features. Its a little hard to find but it is there under "Learn about us".."Elements of quality".

Go to leeindustries.com. They have a fabulous selection of sectionals. The website will let you know who your lee dealer is in your area. I have a sofa and a loveseat from them. They are the most comfortable pieces of furniture. We will be purchasing a sectional from them soon. We got our furniture at Circle Furniture in Massachusetts.

Just to update, we finally ordered a sectional from Century. It is L shaped with a loveseat on one wall and a sofa length on the other. The good thing is that it is 43" deep so it should be very comfortable to lay on. We chose a chenille type fabric in a greenish tone. We started the room's decor off by picking 2 oriental rugs and pulling colors from that. The sofa comes with 7 throw pillows, so I chose 2 different fabrics for 4 of those. We'll see if it works or not when it comes in! On another note, once we started to choose decor, we realized the color on the walls was pukey and we had to get the painters back to change from blue to brown. I'm so glad we did that. It really warms up a basement room with no windows. The lighting is what made color selection so tricky. Also in there, we got a leather recliner from Hancock & Moore. And the really neat looking Wisteria Barn door coffee table. Funny thing is that when it arrived, it really did smell like a...barn door! Fortunately that smell has disapated.

I've gotten most of my info from private emails with the administrators over time. The site sells advertising, which is why the sneaky "free ads" disguised as posts are not appreciated. Not to mention the long history of GardenWeb being a site where members (used to be a pay-to-post site) actually help other members and don't try to sell them something. Many many of the spammers are outright crooks, too.
