I am following as I am debating on a one cushion

RHM, I am not a designer, but own a Norwalk sofa (3 cushion) and arm chair, and thought I would weigh in. I ordered the sofa and chair last winter, and they were delivered last spring, so I have had them in my family room for about 10 months. I am very pleased with their appearance (they look beautiful) and comfort. Both pieces appear to be very sturdy. I ordered the firmer of the cushions available from Norwalk, and they are - indeed - firm but very comfortable. These replaced two Henredon pieces that I had (and was very pleased with) for over 20 years (!). Norwalk was one of a few manufacturers recommended to me by a designer with whom I consulted. And...I was happy to buy furniture made in my home state of Ohio!

maddielee, thank you for your input. I can't stand our EA sofa. It's the most uncomfortable and useless sofa we've ever had. I don't even sit on it. Many years ago I had a Norwalk sofa and double chair/ottoman and loved it. They lasted us a long time. I also thank You Karen for your input! Could you guys tell me what style sofa you have? Did you customize it?

I’m not a designer either, but we had a Norwalk love seat years ago, and it held up really well. I like a 3-cushion sofa for those rare times someone needs to sit in the middle. No one wants to sit on the crack!

RHM, the style of my Norwalk sofa and chair is Imagine That!, which permits choices among variations (arm style, back, cushions, etc.). I chose Imagine That (instead of one of two other styles that I liked - can't remember names now - Beacon Hill?) because of its higher back. I did consult with a designer, as I said above, to ensure that my choices among the variations would hang together, style-wise.

Ooops - meant to remark on value question. I expected the sofa and chair to be more expensive than they were (approximately 3400 and 1900, though I ordered them during a sale and paid about 25% less than that), and I think they look more expensive than that too. They were delivered 6 or 7 weeks after I ordered them, albeit intra-Ohio.

Our first sofa, bought 45 years ago, was a Norwalk and I wish we would have kept it and had it recovered! Another very good brand sold in Ohio is Smith of Byrne. We purchased a Flexsteel sofa 3 years ago and it is fine, but wish we would have looked at and purchased Norwalk or Smith of Byrne instead.
