Need a large sectional sofa with queen sleeper and corner wedge
Comments (5)I had checked out their website already and it sounds good. I just want to make sure that it's a quality product and not one of those "you get what you pay for" things. Have you gotten your sofa yet and are you happy with it? What about the quality of the fabric and the feel of the cushions? I want a sofa that is pretty cushy and I was going to upgrade to the down option. Please let me know your impressions - it would be really helpful. I was also researching a sofa from Carolinachair.com. They seem to have a little bit better quality and better fabric choices, but the sofa I want is also about $2,000 more and I don't know that it's worth spending the extra money. Any input is appreciated....See MoreAdvice needed regarding sectional sofa dilemma
Comments (5)That is the only living space in the house. It's a townhouse we're renting for a year or two. We sacrificed on space to be close to the beach, which has been an awesome choice, until Irma, of course. We don't have any other "real" furniture for the living area, and we wanted to avoid purchasing anything until we bought a home, but when the old sofa had to go, we had to replace that. So we don't have any other seating, but it's really not a big deal. We don't have kids or family in the area, and we don't have a bunch of people over at one time, so the sectional is enough for our current needs. Is there anything in particular you would suggest for ottomans? I would like something that fits physically with the sofa to get something close to a chaise feel without having to close off the space permanently as you would with a chaise. Finding the right size is important too, as I dislike the really big ottomans for sectionals; they take up way too much space and prevent the use of a coffee table....See MoreLooking for modular sofa pieces for a svery specific sectional
Comments (4)There is a reason it is hard to find there is no way for seating in the corners with only 2 seats between the corners. Forget the sectional and get a sofa and 2 chairs instead....See MoreSectional sofa seat cushion with or without springs
Comments (3)I wouldn't base my decision on spring vs foam cushions, I would rank frame quality and fabric higher. Cushions eventually wear down regardless of spring or foam construction. I think it is easier to replace a foam cushion after ~7 years compared to a custom spring replacement. They both have a different feel to consider. Spring cushions feel more like you are sitting on top of the sofa instead of sinking in (think about a movie theater cushion, they often have springs). Springs can last longer but are also more susceptible to other issues (noise when moving). If you have an Ethan Allen near you, they usually have a sofa with numerous cushion styles to test our, including springs. They charge $200/piece extra for springs. I wouldn't recommend Crate & Barrel due to quality. C&B is a notch up from IKEA, but not great. They don't use mortise & tenon joinery, the frames are much lower than the back cushions (cost saving design but doesn't support cushions and is uncomfortable). They don't use batting on the outside of the frame so it quickly shows the wood frame through the fabric. Their fabrics are unusual and if you pick an upgrade from the stock fabric, the price becomes comparable to a higher-end sofa. West Elm is about the same and they often use pine for frames (softwood w/ lower density compared to hardwood). I've had all these brands and have been happier with Pottery Barn and Ethan Allen. Have you looked at Rejuvenation or Williams-Sonoma? I've priced nicer custom sofas for the same price as C&B. Hope that helps!...See MoreSteph Doyle
