Opinions on this couch?

7 years ago

We are moving into a new home and are going to need to get some inexpensive living furniture to start off with. I have pets so I was wanting something with 100% polyester for cleanability.

I realize that this sofa is not top quality, we would like for it to last 3-5 years while we save for better quality furniture.

Any comments on this sofa:

Whoever wrote up the description does not know furniture or the wrong picture is showing. They describe the sofa as having wooden bun legs & the legs are definitely not bun legs. Looks more like tapered legs; bun is usually referred to as bun feet; not bun legs.

Funny, that is the first thing that I noticed as well. "Those are not bun legs!". Therefore, I would be a little wary ordering this piece as you should not trust what they are saying (or what they are showing us).

Have you considered Ikea for cheap and cheerful? I have had an Ikea sofa in my basement media room for two years and so far it is holding up very well.

I like Kravets. I purchased some great chairs from them. I am shorter and they made the chairs to suit. Don't even try a place like Creative Leather. Their product is custom in that you pick from these 3 or 4 things we have. Their warranty is really non existant. Not a good place. But, they charge the dollars.$$$$$ Sounds like you are looking higher end than Creative Leather. Look what Kravets has too offer. It is true custom.

I like it! No affiliation, but we happened across a great sale at a place in Raleigh NC while visiting family. A place called Ambiente International is having a big retirement sale, with some good prices. They carry W. Schillig leather sofas and sectionals (we just ordered one during the sale), Natuzzi, and some other manufacturers as well. Here is a link that might be useful: Ambiente Furniture

Thank you for all of the great feedback! I went sofa shopping yesterday. I went to Thomasville and saw a couch that I liked called the Benjamin. I know that Thomasville is only a mid level quality but I also have to consider that my two little kids who will standing on it (now matter how many times I tell them not to do it :)) I am also going to take a look a leather sofas made by Hancock & Moore since that they have such a great reputation. A local retailer in my area (Bucks County PA), Hendrixsons, sell them.

Need opinion of fabric for sofa and loveseat, please!

I'm naive when it comes to chosing perfect fabric colors or patterns, but I did want to add (from my unfortunate experience) to choose a fabric with some integrity. By that, I mean don't choose a fabric that's too plush or soft and comfy to the touch. We did that with a custom made sofa and loveseat and were so very disappointed. It didn't hold up well at all - and, it's just DH and I at home on a daily basis (no little ones or teens). The second custom fabric/furniture we selected was from fabric that was more durable and that piece of furniture looked just like new 10 years later. Just wanted to share so you aren't disappointed as we were.

Ikea can be wonderful if you don't get the cheapest models out there.
