Murphy Bed
Comments (6)We are also installing a Murphy Bed. Our cabinet makers are making it. The molding will be different, but it will look similar to this: We will have pull-out "shelves" on each side at "night stand" height (they will look like drawers when closed) that can be used for alarm clock, etc. at night. They ordered the Create-A-Bed mechanism linked below. It's not completed yet, so I cannot vouch for how well it works :-) Here is a link that might be useful: Create-A-Bed...See MoreH & M sectional sofa
Comments (2)Hi Kathie, Well, H&M sectionals are never cheap, but they do have a pretty high *wow* factor and hold up year after year. The reason for the confusion is the Downes (1846) series can be purchased different ways. It comes as both a dual loveseat and a dual sofa with the 'corner' built-in, then the more traditional 3-piece sectional of you want larger sizes or want to set it up as a loveseat on one side and long sofa on the other,etc. The photo you are looking at on the web site/booklet is the 2-piece loveseat sectional with the corner 'built in', thats why you are not seeing the three pieces quoted. From what I'm reading you are putting together a 1846LAQ Loveseat on the left, a 1846QR Quarter Round center, and a 1847RAQ sofa on the right, in Class III hides. If that's correct, then your dealer's price for that combo is at least over $ 1,500 higher than I would price it in my store - they're a bit high and at the upper end of normal pricing margins, but not outrageous. H&M has a 5% off sale until March 5th, so if you're serious about that piece try to get your order in by that date. That 5% savings will pay for your shipping. If you can use the Downes series in the somewhat shorter, 2-piece units you'll save quite a bit as you won't be buying the Quarter Round. In this configuration each section is 110" long in the sofa model and you should be able to buy in that class 3 hide for under $ 8,000. Also, if you want to cut the cost some more, there are several hides in Grade II that will knock another $ 700 to $ 800 off the total price. My store is in northern Virginia (Wash DC area), but Garden Web rules and regulations of businesses using the forum forbid me to mention the name or quote prices here on the forum. Sorry! I've crossed shopped Boyles recently. Didn't find their prices to be anything special. Duane Collie...See MoreSectional sofas 101
Comments (7)My Flexsteel sectional has metal clips so the two pieces hook together. It's on a wood floor but it's against two walls so it's not going anywhere (it also weighs a ton). No recliners; we plan on a cat sometime soon and I once injured a cat by trapping it under the recliner when I closed it up, so I swore I would never own a recliner again. We did choose to use a larger coffee table because we needed the surface space, and the coffee table that had fit the regular couch just fine was too small for the sectional, both visually and functionally. Regarding measurements, our sectional sits in a corner against two walls. I simply measured the two walls and allowed a bit of space for small end tables, then hunted down a sectional that fit those measurements and wasn't too bulky for the room. Small-scale sectionals that aren't just two loveseats stuck together or a couch with a chaise stuck on (I find it very difficult to get out of the chaise) are not easy to find, but they're not ALL ginormous! Ours is something like 90" on one side of the "L" and 110" on the other. If you plan to "float" your sectional, get a roll of blue painter's tape and map out where your sectional's going to go, right on the floor with the tape, until the proportion looks right and then measure that; if you have the standard sofa-loveseat combo now you can shove them together into that space and get a rough idea of scale. The biggest "pros" in our house are that it wastes no space in our small living room - when we had a couch and loveseat, there was a substantial area in the corner that was wasted (furniture arms take up a lot of space) and we couldn't both stretch out to watch TV, read or nap while now we can and still have room for the dog. :-) The main con is that it IS a little bit heavy-looking for the small room, although cut-back arms, a relatively low back, and a slightly-bland midtone sage color do reduce the visual weight somewhat....See MorePlease Show Me Your Leather Sectional Sofa
Comments (6)It was purchased at Jordan's Furniture. I think it is Natuzzi brand. The recliner has been an ongoing *discussion* for us! He had one that was more streamlined, but when it needed to be replaced, we couldn't agree on one. Then, we ended up compromising on one and it was not comfortable for him and too big for our space. Finally, I just decided to go with this sectional and be done. It was difficult to find one that wasn't ginormous and overstuffed looking. As far as sectionals go (esp. with built in recliners), I think we did okay, but I am not in love!...See Morebwwhite49
