Broyhill fabric sofas and chairs

15 years ago

I made the mistake of buying very expensive living room furniture which became dated because of the fabric choices that were popular at the time. It would cost more than I want to spend to have it all reupholstered. I will probably get a few hundred dollars for it on Craig's list although it still seems brand new. Now I want to buy something inexpensive. I have found a 99" couch "Amy collection" and some chairs that I like from Broyhill. The sofa is only $800.00 which seems really cheap to me. What do you think of Broyhill? It will be in a room that won't get a lot of use. I would choose the highest grade fabric to go on it and the chairs. I haven't been able to find any reviews on the brand on the web. Thank you.

Broyhill offers a decent value for the price. Construction is usually integrated plywood with sinuous wire seat supports. Generally they use less expensive, less durable foams and fibers than I would like. Broyhill has dropped quality and prices over the last few years I believe they are targeting Ashley Furniture more as their competition. I sell Broyhill and have very few complaints overall. Also they are very good about taking care of warranty issues and problems that may occur. Hope this helps and best of luck to you! I am speaking of Broyhill's living room furniture only as I am not of fan of their case good products (i.e. dining and bedroom).

Go find Smith Bros. of Berne that I was looking at today (at a furn. store that really deals good prices) and I can get a fabulous leather chair that reclines (like a regular Lazy Boy but has no big wood handle, a round disk under the armrest to make you recline)-no foot rest but you put your feet up on a big half moon ottoman. It has pictures on their site. It was in leather and absolutely a dream to SIT IN. Their fabric choices were unbelievable also and less than the leather. In leather for the two it would be $2000 which is a darn good price & nice fabric about $1500. The # I was looking at is 932. Go look on their site. This furn. is like Flexsteel, and the old Berne (no longer in business he said) and some of the other good furniture through the yrs.

Cleaning Fabric - Broyhill Caitlyn Chair
Q
Comments (13)
I have generally found that anything 50-50 poly-cotton (or more poly) wet cleans fine. In an obscure spot (I like to use the back boxing near the zipper if your cushion is of this configuration): - Take a dry white cloth and rub the fabric, looking for any color loss - If that passes, wet the cloth and repeat. - If that passes, then dry the spot (you can use a hair dryer), looking for water spotting. - If all is good, you should be able to successfully wet clean. For such a small spot, mix up a cup of water and a drop or two of dish detergent, like clear Dawn (not dishwasher like Cascade!). Spray or drip a little on this area. Let it sit for a minute and gently work around with a soft brush, like an old soft toothbrush. Extract the solution with a wet-dry shop-vac or upholstery attachment to a carpet cleaning machine, if you have one. Repeat until it comes out. It might take two or three times, or more. Then rinse with plain water and wet the whole surface (seam to seam) and extract. There are four elements of upholstery cleaning that work for you. TACT - the less of any one of them, you more you need of the others to get the same cleaning effect: T - Time (let the solution dwell) A - Agitation (the toothbrush) C - Chemical (the Dawn) T - Temperature (warm, but not super-hot water) Just look around at anything cleaning in your house and you will see these at work - washing machine, dishwasher, your shower, car wash, floor scrubber, etc.

Long Sofa Leather Fabric Carolina Chair?

Carolina Chair is a fine company, but I was not aware they made sofas that size. I hope that you have carefully measured your doorways, halls, stairs and anywhere else that the delivery people are going to have to pass to place your sofa. This is going to be a very expensive custom built sofa from whomever you use, and they are not going to refund your money if you can't get it through your doorway. I do know a very good custom upholsterer in Sophia, NC who can build a sofa for you to your specifications He can even build it with removable arms and backs if that is needed. His name is Glenn Laughlin and he can be reached at 336-431-6602. Glenn does not own a computer.

Need opinions on Broyhill fabric couch and loveseat.
Q

I am not computer smart at all, and couldn't get your pics to show. Broyhill is a 'beginning' level product to me.Maybe a step up I just ordered a leather sofa, and am hoping it is better than Laz-Boy. Years ago I had a broyhill sofa and it was absolutely great- I am hoping for the same quality again. Of course, if you let a large dog like that on the couch it isn't going to last as long. And it is going to get a bit 'stinky' from the dog. The warranty won't do anything when the pillows get soft and floppy, or when the fabric get worn/snagged from dog toenails. If you 'plop' down on it, it will not last as long. Part of it is how you care/use/abuse your furniture!

Tom- I respectfully disagree. I don't think you understand me. If you look at the room you posted everything is variations of tone. The sofas are brown, the walls are white, curtains kind of beige/burlapy, theaccent chair is building on the tones, and the tables as well. Take a look at the art on the mantle - even that is white with darker tones. The only real bright color is the plant. However you're suggesting a room with 3 chairs that will have the leather color then a wood tone (no calming anchor like the sofas) as well as several very saturated colorful photos. My concerns have nothing to do with architecture. It's very hard to give any kind of real feedback when you post a picture of a room you'd like to emulate but then want to work around elements that make that vision very very hard to achieve. And I don't think you need to take the measuring tape to the store. Look on the ekornes website or call the salesperson. You should be able to get both interior seat dimension as well as total width, height, and depth... That way you can compare across lines and find something that you love.

I have had quite a bit of Broyhill through the years and just recently purchased a sectional in the microfiber fabric. It's great, pet hairs come off quickly with lint brush. I've always had good luck with Broyhill.

Hi,

I just replaced Broyhill furniture; sofa, loveseat, chair and tables that I bought 20 years ago. I wanted that furniture to wear out so badly, so I could justify buying new. I gave in, because it would not wear out! Other than some wear dirt on the sofa the structure and fabric looked brand new when I passed it on to someone else. This furniture made it through the years of raising a son and his many friends.

I don't think you will be sorry and $800 is such a good price, you won't feel bad in a few years when you want a new style. :)

Good luck, Crystal

Do not buy from Broyhill. Their quality is very poor and it is made in Mexico, China and ours was made in Taiwan. Broyhill has a policy of no returns or exchanges. Once you buy, you are stuck with it. Also, when we were buying our bedroom suite the sales lady told us that only one piece of furniture would be a floor model. However, when I looked at the invoice after, she had put floor model at the bottom of the invoice meaning that all of it was a floor model. You would think that being 70yrs old that I would look at what I was signing, but this was BROYHILL and I thought they had a good name. DO NO BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE and check them out with your local Better Business Bureau. Here, in Coquitlam, B.C., Canada they have an F rating, the lowest you can get.
