My Huntington roses are also just a year old and it is too early to give a verdict. But the slight fragrance was a disappointment. Also it seemed to be a bit stingy with bloom and they were very floppy to the ground. It will take some years to build up into a shrub that can carry the heavy flowers. Wisley is IMO a much better choice in colder climates. It made a great shrub already the second year ... and flowers looked like a pink version golden celebration, with a much stronger scent than the Huntington Rose. Where I live Isabel Renaissance does not do so well. It seems to need more heat to produce more flowers. The flowers are true dark red and velvety, but again the scent is not so strong. The dark Red HT that does best here has turned out to be Taboo/Barkarole. That cultivar really surprises me with its vigor, hardiness and so many blooms compared to other HTs, That just becomes a few canes here and only 3-4 inches of cane survive the winters. Taboo/Barkarole has been more hardy and more bushy. Scent is good too. Ingrid Bergman is also a good red HT rose. Helena Renaissance often balls for me and do not produce nearly as many flowers as Clair Renaissance. Also the bush are only about 2-3 feet tall here ... Clair Renaissance on the other hand grows much bigger and becomes more bushy and produces soooo many flowers. You should try that variety ...it has won many awards here in Scandinavia as one of the best garden roses to come a long the last decade. Look how many buds it had just when it began to flower this year (Neither Helena nor Isabel Renaissance produce that many flowers!!!):

First off, anyone who would place Thomasville as better furniture than Sherrill should think again. I sold Thomasville, Drexel, and Henredon and their shift to overseas manufacture created nightmares. That’s moot anyway, because all of those lines are out of business now. Second, about the cushions losing their shape, here is a possible explanation. A sofa that’s considered the most luxurious is often one that is down filled. Down is not known for stiff, perky cushions. In fact, it’s entirely the opposite. It’s the loose, squashy look that you see in European houses. Think Downton Abbey. It’s what I and a lot of famous old-school decorators prefer. If you ordered a sofa that had extra bells and whistles thinking it would be firm for a long time, it may have had a lot of down filling, which is expensive. So it won’t hold its shape through repeated movie nights or football games. No kind of feather filling of any quality will stay plump, unless there are wrapped layers around foam or springs. For some purists like me, that’s less desirable. Good down has to be fluffed repeatedly. So, the bottom line is, do your homework before buying a good sofa. Educate yourself on the construction and fills. Then you are in a position of knowing what to ask for.

I've only ordered from Room and Board, but everything we have has been very good quality. R&B's upholstered furniture is made by several different manufacturers, so it's worth asking the rep which company actually makes a specific piece, and then doing a bit of research on the manufacturer. Our sofa is a Comfort Sleeper made by American Leather, and it's fantastic. The daybed we ordered is made by a different company altogether. The fabric selection at R&B is quite limited, but since we have multiple pets, we stick with leather and higher-end microfibers, so R&B had enough choices to meet our needs.

Why don't you try calling Boyles (www.boyles.com) or one of the other NC stores? They can probably get you dimensions and prices. By the way, they have the full Sherrill catalog online if you register and go to Furniture Shopping - Prevue catalogs. You also might check out Taylor King. I think they are comparable to Sherrill in price and quality. I have 2 chairs from them and I'm very happy with them. Here is a link that might be useful: Previous thread re: good upholstery manuf.
