What about this one (Item 75-03)? The fabric may throw you off b/c its a bit bold but it is almost the same style. Since you can customize the fabric, imagine this in a solid neutral color.

Another sofa. Here's one from Rowe - The Spencer sofa. Only thing about Rowe is that you want to go for their skirted pieces which I think this may be. According to Rowe's website:

"Furniture ordered without a skirt is generally made with sinuous wire, carbon steel "S" springs, running front to back and reinforced side-to-side to provide lateral support. Styles designed with skirts are standard with Carriage Coil, which is Rowe's eight-way hand tied unit, known to consumers as a hallmark of quality furniture. This spring system is made of carbon steel coils, which are tied together by twine and supported again with helical springs."

Wow thank you so much!!!!

jyyanks - you're right I skipped right over that Lee one due to the fabric choice. The Spencer one in pink, makes me want a pink couch!!!! what to do? that'll be another thread. lol

i was wondering what you ended up getting and how satisfied are you? I am also interested in getting the PB Grand...

please help if you have any experience with the pb basic couch!!!

i am in need of a new couch and the PB basic couch is exactly what i want, though it is more expensive than i wanted to pay. i have looked and looked, but haven't been able to find another slip covered couch that looks and feels as good to me. rowe's nantucket comes close, but the seat seems a bit deeper and i am short...also with rowe's nantucket, the place i found it at had so many different fabric types and colors, i am just not sure which one would look good. at pb however, i feel that they prescreen the types of fabrics and any selection would look good, so you just have to pick what color. i think i would choose fabric grade A or B in a neutral color.

any input on grade A vs B? is B really better and worth the extra money? even though i am single with no kids yet have friends over sometimes and am a total couch potato, will the natural/white color still get too dirty with normal wear and tear? (i ask because i don't anticipate washing the slipcovers too much as i hear from others that you shouldn't or they start to really show even more wear and tear).

Also, most importantly, is the PB worth the extra money? i am willing to pay extra because it is exactly what i want, but will it last for 10 years, or will it sink and will the cushions get all flattened out in just a few years?

I got a Rowe sofa about 4 yrs ago. It was slipcovered.
A spring popped up on one side. The slipcover fabric was a
cotton denim and it did not hold up well at all. I found for
500 for each slipcover; It was not worth it to buy another one. So just think of the cost of the slipcovers versus a new sofa.

PB makes pretty good quality furniture, however, the cost is pretty expensive. What about the Camden slipcovered sofa (see link below)? It appears to be the same style as the PB basic, however, it costs less. Not sure who makes it. Just a thought.

Check to see if you live in one of the states with a Pottery Barn outlet. That's where I got my PB Grand for about $800 a few years ago. The only problem I've had was that it was too big to get into the apartment I lived in at the time, and my mom had to use it for 6 months until I moved into a better place. Also, the label under the cushions says "Pottery Barn by Mitchell Gold" and the quality has been as excellent as I'd expect.

I have purchased from clubfurniture.com (Chloe). They also carry "grand" softas. I have the same couch that is posted in the link above. I also have a chair and half.

Yes, the one I have, I would say its comparable to the PB Basic. However I now find it too small for two of us to use. At that time, they did not carry a "grand" line.

they have a pretty good guarantee. they don't make it so easy to collect on, but they will honor it in the end if you don't accept any alternative.
I was not happy with an ottoman, and they did what they could to get me to keep it. In the end, they did take it back. My neighbor ordered several pieces of furniture from them. They didn't end up returning it, but they were able to work out something to their satisfaction.

The service/purchase process was pretty good and I would buy from them again.
