Where can I find a good quality sectional?

11 years ago

I've hit a stumbling block with what I thought would be a pretty straightforward ( LOL) item.

Who makes a high quality oversized sectional similar in look to a Crate and Barrel or Pottery Barn with deep cushions, horizontal pillow back ( preferable straight ends, no T notch) that's a bit taller than the fixed back, square or track type arm, not too low to the ground (at least 35" overall height or more ), and just a bit of leg showing at the bottom, i.e. not more than 2 inches?

Closest thing I've seen to this was a few years ago at the Kreiss showroom, but they are no longer in this area. I'd like to be able to sit in something and find some other options at various price points in any case.

Thanks!

Try MGBW. Talk about deep cushions! If you sit on the down one, you will be hooked.

If i lived alone, Id probably fall sleep on it very night, tv remote in hand, bon bon wrappers strewn about.

Here is a link that might be useful: sectional w deep cushions

I just bought from Century furniture. They have semi custom and custom sectionals that will give you the options you want. I went through a designer and local design center, so not sure if they have retail showrooms.

Sectional Sofas...a good idea? or don't go there?

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.

Wellington’s understands the rules of this forum and would never self-promote. We are leather furniture specialists and offer good true advice for leather furniture shoppers where we can add a positive view to the conversation based on 30 plus years in the industry. We do not add unrelated links. We do not add links to any products only helpful information on this platform to educate and hopefully help folks seeking good real advice for furniture shopping. Our guide and other informative blog articles are great tools for helping folks who come here and ask for advice on saving time and money when shopping. Wellington’s was not trying to get you to buy from us at all and we are not spammers we have posted hundreds of helpful additions to many leather furniture conversations. It’s unfortunate that you have taken offense to me adding a helpful shopping tip for leather furniture shoppers. Omnia Leather would be a good company for you to look at and they offer deep seats on several of their styles. They are made in America and price really well for the quality. But I don’t think they will price as low as Ikea's price, not sure about the other names you mentioned. Our goal is to fit into the conversation not distract. We love being a part of this furniture community and would never do anything to jeopardize our relationship with this forum. Wellington’s wishes you the best of luck with your new leather sectional purchase.

This looks very similar to a Minotti sofa, my guess is that it's a custom replica of this..https://www.minotti.com/en/lawrence_clan_2#

IdaClaire I don't want to see businesses shilling their products here. Such posts, under the guise of "helpful advice" degrade the integrity and longstanding intent of these forums (and I've had many years of active forum participation). What's to stop these forums from becoming just one ad after another? Nobody wants that (except perhaps those who only participate in hopes of making a buck). Pros that offer their own products or services in response to a query have a vested and biased interest. It makes me sad that such things are even allowed here. And yes, I do flag this stuff as spam and will continue to do so. There's a lot of poor and amateur advice here on this forum, and I'm in the business going on my 35th year now. I swing by to help out when I can just in the same way I help the lady next door change a flat tire on her car. I have never got a single order off of HOUZZ that I'm aware of. But this is the appreciation given for the professional expertise and experience which is FREE? Vested and Bias interest? <rolling eyes>. My wife says "Why do you even bother with doing that? That's the best use of your time?" At least the lady whose tire I changed will say Thank You instead of telling me I'm out to sell her a brake job.

Thanks very much! I will definitely check out all of those suggestions. I should have mentioned that I'm working with a designer who can get me into the showrooms, such as Century, as well.

Definitely not high quality but we just bought our leather sectional from Jcpenneys and they have some that fit your description to a T. The ivory track arm style that sits lower to ground but comfortable and not weirdly on the floor as some of these new styles are was simply beautiful. I went for the light tan and its soft as butter and actually very well made. We simply love it. You could spend the money saved on other decorating items. Everyone that sees it compliments on it. Yes, I will get a host of texts after this commenting on Jcpenneys lower quality which I agree but this particular sectional that comes in TONS of optional colors was really my best purchase of 2011. loveeeeeee it.

Yes, what is up with all these lower back height and close to the floor sofas? Does more depth in the seat mean you don't need quite the same height behind your head? Would proportions be off in a great room with high ceilings?

daisychain, I checked local availability of Lee Industries and see that it's sold out of Crate and Barrel in my area. Do you know which products in their line Lee manufactures? Thanks!

I just ordered this one - I really don't know who makes it. If you Google "Artemis sectional", there are stores all over the country who sell it. It's very comfy and looks well-made. I can't wait for it to get here!

I have a Flexsteel sofa and love it!!! It is about four years old and style was called Temecula and not sure if still on their website. All the styles are there and you can search for a local furniture dealer that carries Flexsteel.
I live in PA and saved a bundle by ordering from Hickory Furniture Mart in North Carolina and having it freight shipped. Bought the sofa and chair and a half in a beige chenile fabric. It is high quality and weighs a ton.

If you are working with a designer, try Charles Stewart. You can design your own style (arm style, chaise on one end, 2-3 cushions depending on the size needed, etc and the fabrics are great.

Another suggestion, try Norwalk.
I have one in my living room and I loved it so much I just ordered another one for my den. Plus it's 100% customizable.

If you haven’t already found one.....find a furniture store that sells Sherrill furniture. Lots of fabrics, beautiful custom work, everything they make is comfortable. And reasonably priced!
