Does anyone have a crate and barrel sectional

7 years ago

I'm considering the axis ii sectional sofa from crate and barrel as it appears to be their deepest most comfortable sectional. There is not a show room in my area so if I order one, it will be sight unseen. Wondering if anyone has one and can let me know their thoughts. I like them to be deep and very comfortable to lay on and without looking messy and too casual. Will this sectional foot the bill? Thank you.

We have one we bought in January and we love it. It is ridiculously comfortable and everyone who sits on it loves it. Even though it has down in it, it holds it shape well and looks neat and clean all the time. It was well worth the money, but it did take forever to come in (about three months even though it was supposed to only take 2.). Ours is a gray tweed-like fabric.

My daughter has one. I don't know if it's the Axis II, but it's similar in design.

She's had it a little over 3 years and loves it. However, after the last move she noticed the upholstery on the cushions looked really shabby and was pilled all over. She called C&B to see if it was possible to order new cushions or covers for it. They looked up her original order, noted the fabric and told her they had had numerous problems with that fabric and, oh by the way, they will replace the sectional free of charge. It's due any day.

I just wanted to kick in another sectional which we have- the Dune from Arhaus. It's big and deep and really comfy. We're so happy with it.

This is the tv cabinet in duck egg blue. The inside back is now navy. The exposure on the pictures is TERRIBLE. The room lacks good lighting. This picture shows the mantle and wall behind the tv better, but the cabinets have been painted. This picture shows a fairly true depiction of the flooring. It will be replaced next summer. The stair railing has changed from the white wood spindles to iron. The wall color and rug have changed from all the above pictures. The older paint was Navajo white...now kilim biege. I'm having issues with the latest version of iphoto/photos and I can't seem to upload new pics and I am beyond frustrated. The family room is off the kitchen. We have a large slider with 108" curtains...as of now they are pottery barn silk dupioni drapes in red. *craziness right? When I look at the sofa and rug depicted in the picture above and read the description and pictures I am posted, I think...I'm nuts, but the floor, rug, and cabinet look great together...it's just the sofa and curtains that must go. We have a white butcher block kitchen island that seats six looking into this room. Two of these lights separate the rooms and hang above the island... The flooring looks a little yellower and lighter here than it does in the room. All the pictures are yellow-ish. We were originally considering the sofa in ale, taupe, or charcoal. The truffle fabric is a possibility, but the lack of light in the room might be an issue. I suppose since we will replace the flooring a darker sofa might work. The help is SO appreciated!!!

@Anne Smith they are both comfortable to me (i had heard ery good things from axis owners) - for the 88" length the Metro deep is a little deeper - 43" vs 41"i think on axis overall and the "interior" depth from back cushioin to front edge of seat cushion is like 28/29" whereas i think it's more like 25 on axis. Metro seat cushions feel a little more "cushiony"/"springy" (but not soft) than axis which felt "firmer" - i think becausethe seat cushions on Metro (deep version only) are spring down (so coils in them) vs pure foam wrapped with down i . Also i think the back frame on Axis is taller and i think feels like it sits a bit more "upright" (the back of Metro feels more like C&B lounge sofa than Axis). Although the douglas fabric on Axis is very durable, the look was a little too "suedey" for me, and i couldn't use the ice or white color - I needed more of an ivory (so i would have gotten Icon pearl) . The ivory sumner fabric on the Metro is really nice (100% polypropylene)

@Jeanie Kim We have the Urban with chase we purchased in summer 2018. We ordered it in the Deco Weave Feather Gray fabric. We really like the extra wide chase where two people can snuggle to watch TV and the wide arms where guests tend to perch while chatting. Like most sofas, I find it looks best if I fluff the pillows/ seat in the areas we tend to sit most so that they don't develop indentations. Our sofa looks brand new still.

@Chelsea Forestell We love it. We don’t have any kids and don‘t use our living room quite as much as other families do, but it still looks brand new.

@Chelsea Forestell...We still love it. Dog gets up on it now and then, but no little kids around anymore. It's held up great and like @namarie, it still looks new.

@kreizman, and @namarie, thank you both for the update! I'm debating on going with a @Monarch Sofas C&B Axis II lookalike. I'm forever paranoid of foam breaking down and I am thinking their upgraded foam may ease my worries depending on the density of their High Resiliancy foam. I'm still undecided. I hate not being able to sit on a sofa first. ‍♀️ I've just seen some craigslist Axis sofas that look very broken down. But then again, Monarch is smaller, so picture of years old sofas online will be few and far between. Sorry... rambling. Lol

Thanks again!

Fabric type is my current issue delaying my decision. I’m looking at Lounge ll 3-seat petite 105” Grande sofa. I need a non-pilling, highly durable (dog is allowed on the couch) fabric. Any suggestions?
