Click Clock sofas - reviews, opinions anyone?

5 years ago

My DH came home yesterday telling me about this cool sofa has boss has, called a click clock. I did a Google search and thought they were mostly really ugly, and looked very uncomfortable for sitting. I told him for $500 I'd rather have a sleeper sofa. :)

Anybody have a review or opinion of them? I suppose I could find some locally and try sitting on one. I am short and most furniture doesn't fit my legs; these photos looked like my feet would stick straight out.

Never heard of them and couldn’t figure out what they are via google. Maybe post a link?

Any opinions on De Coro leather sofas?
Q
Comments (9)
My fiance and I recently bought a couch and recliner by DeCoro. The couch will not arrive for another 3 months, but we were able to take the recliner home with us. While we were traveling home the chair "escaped" and flew off the back end of our truck onto the interstate!!! We pulled off the road expecting our new beautiful chair to be destroyed. We quickly picked it up and put the two "detachable" halves back together and the chair was structurally sound! The only damage was cosmetic and fixable by a leather technician. This brand is amazing! The chair flew out at 60 mph and only sustained some scuffs!!!

Bracci Sofa Information or Opinions?
Q
Comments (15)
Hi! I bought Bracci and it was delivered in February 2020. The furniture and styling is beautiful, but within two months, we noticed the leather getting baggy where we sit. Also, one of the headrests on the couch doesn't lay flat. I called Furnitureland South ahere we purchased it, and they contacted Bracci and they say that's normal after using it and wouldn't do anything for us. Furnitureland dropped the ball also. Now I'm hearing mechanical squeeking when the reclining seat opens and closes. This is after nine months. I think our Bracci couch set that we paid over $16,000 for is a lemon and feel ripped off. We've had two other leather sofas over the years and never saw puddling leather!

Loving my gorgeous Crypton Nomad Snow fabric on my reupholstered family room sofa. My husband spilled red wine on it about 3 weeks after we got it home <aaaahhhh!>. I cleaned it immediately with a very light spray of hydrogen peroxide and then a light spray of a fabric cleaner, wiped with a dampened face cloth. The wine came out immediately. No sign of it now. We've also had numerous dirty dog paw prints that came out easily as well. BARGAIN HUNTING TIP - After scouring the internet, I found a GREAT DEAL on the Nomad Snow fabric online at Hobby Lobby for $13/yard! That's the sale price, but the regular price is still ridiculously cheap at $22/yd (it goes on sale often). Bought an extra bolt just to have for future projects. If your are in the market for a new upholstered piece of furniture, it's worth finding out the manufacturer's COM (customer's own material) pricing and supplying your own fabric. I'm in the process of doing that now with a new living room sofa. Also, if you find a really reasonably priced reupholsterer, a little know secret is that most manufacturer's will ship their furniture unupholstered, covered in a muslin base and ready to be upholstered. Happy decorating all!

Article sofa's Foam Density? Read bad reviews, suspicious of youtubers
Q
Comments (1)
I looked up the Article Sofas SITE. The site does not say much about the foam used, but click on Help Center (upper left). On the right side of that page are three ways to contact them: phone, chat, or email. Call them, and ask your questions directly. As to reviews, I share your skepticism. Value is subjective and can only be determined over time. If I buy a moderately priced item that gives reliable service and lasts much longer than anticipated, that item has more value than a more expensive version that doesn't live up to expectations. A review should never read "Love it!" and nothing else. And, people who buy very expensive items tend to give them more value than they may deserve. It's a psychology that expensive = better.

I have a sofa/futon very similar to the one terriks linked above from wayfair. It is very hard and uncomfortable to sleep on. I had to purchase a 3" foam pad to make it 'sleepable'. For sitting, it's OK. The seat is not too deep. It's in a rarely used room so I keep it.

Yes, terriks, thank you! That's what I meant. :)

Thank you, czarinalex! I currently have a day bed in the guest room, which is impossible to use as a sofa. We have an overnight guest about once every five years, so I'd really like something comfortable to sit on that could be used as a bed once in a while. Ideally I think I'd like a sleeper love seat.

Ikea has some surprisingly comfortable sleeper sofas because they don’t use a foldout mechanism with bars.

They can be amazing. We had several..they're much more popular with urban living. Then it was long time ago, in Europe, and they were extremely well made.

My click clack I bought for our first tiny living room, so can be used as sleeper too, now stands at my Mom's, 20 years after, and is heavily used by guests-it's comfortable like any great mattress would be, it's great to sit on too.

My guess is one can find something similar, it'd just be very expensive. Even bad new sofas are expensive..what to say about good ones)) It won't be 500. would be more like 2-3 K. And most likely lean to be modern in style(which I love but not everybody does).

I researched them myself...my favorite was 3,5 K so I drastically changed my wants and went with a daybed I found on Craigslist lol

There are always exceptions..my friend has one I use when I come to visit her and it s quite comfortable, and she told me it was cheap. But then it also was bought 15 or so years ago. And they, she didn't remember who "they" were lol, didn't carry it anymore)

Or one can look for vintage..

We have one that is very similar. However you need a thick foam mattress topper and then it is perfect. Basically it is like sleeping on a carpeted floor. Anything will feel good that is firm with a nice thick mattress topper on it.
