Recommendations for well-made mid-priced sofas in NYC
Comments (10)from what i've read about R&B -on GW and elsewhere, i tend to steer clear of them. i'm currently searching for an upholstered sectional, so i understand your plight. quality furniture is hard to find these days -even if you can afford to pay obscene amounts for it. i should mention, ABC is a retailer. they sell different brands of furnishings.

Comments (7)I am curious as to why you don't want leather. It last longer. It's more sanitary. No dustmites and a good quality leather does not look like or feel like plastic. I agree that a good upholstery option is slipcovered as the slipcovers are washable. (FYI poster above Taylor King is a good option if you do decide on a fully upholstered option)...See MoreRecommendations for next-to-couch plant
Comments (2)Thanks, zzackey. The peace lily I know the cats will try and munch on, but maybe I will look for a large aspidistra online. The light is bright enough to see a shadow on the wall right behind where the plant would be, which is why I thought the palm might be ok there. It's a challenging spot, with cats in the mix....See MoreSectional Sofa Recommendations
Comments (1)That is hard question to answer. A leather would probably wear the best if of a good enough quality. What price point do you want to stay in?...See MoreRelated Professionals
