I have the PB Basic Loveseat, loveseat sleeper and chair and ottoman - The furniture's great - but the covers have not worn well and I've only laundered them twice in the 4 years I've had them - I have the canvas because I thought they would do better-- but I have 2 children and I went with the stone color - my bad - I now want to change to a darker color - and it is A FORTUNE !!!! Almost cheaper to buy new furniture! I have been searching and searching for knock offs - I went on ebay but no luck - The search continues -- but be carfeul - go dark and strong if you have kids. ALso - if they are not being placed on a rug - but going on a wood floor - put grippers on the feet because they slide!!!

Denise-I did a google search yesterday when I saw your posting. There were good reviews on the PB webset and mixed reviews elsewhere--some bad. It's so hard to know. Do they have the sectional you are looking at at the store?? If so, that may give you an indication of how it might wear.

I agree with the comments, it's a big investment and you need to make sure it's comfortable and durable. I have a sectional with chaise extension, seemed like a great idea when i got it, but i find it awkward to get on and off and the leg support on most models is the same height as the seat, which isn't all that comfy since you end up hyper extending your knee joints. Neither myself or my husband use the chaise part any more. They look great, but next time i'll buy a foot stool so that i can have more flexibility and have my legs slightly lower. An experienced sales person should advise you, but use your good judgement, not everyone is honest. If you prefer to shop online, go to somewhere like allmodern or wayfair where there are many reviews to guide you and you can return the item without any hassle if you need to - also for a small cost you can insure it against poor performance (or make sure your contents insurance or credit card covers the item against unreasonable wear and tear/damage) I use these two sites regularly they have lots of choice and lots of price points to choose from - more money doesn't always mean better quality. - i trust the the reviews. Also make sure your delivery includes bringing the item into the room not just to the curb and don't sign for it until you've made sure it's not damaged and is what you expected. If you're not happy refuse delivery, much easier than trying to return it - the delivery driver will just have to take it back. As a designer, ergonomics consultant and purchaser of lots of furniture I also rely on good warranties and proven product testing - find out how many double rubs the fabric can handle without deteriorating - 25,000 is standard for residential use, higher is better. Good luck with your purchase.

I have owned a couple of PB sofas. The one I still own is white and the canvas. It has lasted well because it gets very little use. I would only consider Crypton brand performance fabrics from PB.
