We bought Arhaus and are happy. Also bought dining room table and chairs from them.

baroness0085, how long have you had your Arhaus sofa? Thank you both for your help!! My mom has a Thomasville table that she’s had for about 10 years, but never a couch.

Best to check with your Thomasville dealer and they will explain the warranties and guarantees that come with purchasing one of their sofas as well as the fabric choices. I have great faith in Crate and Barrel and have purchased furniture from them, although never a sofa. Thomasville is the manufacturer of the sofa whereas CB carries sofas made from several North Carolina companies. I used to sell Thomasville. If you search online, you will find some good information to make an educated choice about a major investment. I am not familiar with Arhaus.

KE, we’ve only had our Arhaus sofa a year, so maybe that’s not a long enough test for you. I know that Thomasville is a dependable manufacturer, so I don’t think you’d go wrong there. I like to buy furniture still made in the U.S. (Actually don’t know if Arhaus sofa is or not, embarrassed to say, but our table was made in Italy.)

Find out if the C&B sofas you want are made by Lee Industries (they should be able to tell you). If so buy one of those, as from research I have done, Lee Industries is an excellent manufacturer at that price point. When I was starting out a couple of decades ago my first sofa and chair came from them and had them for a long time. My brother and his wife also had C&B when starting out and it served them well, too. Thomasville would be my second pick and no experience with Arhaus even though we have one here in Houston.

I have purchased all types of Arhaus furniture and have found it to be durable. The sofa and ottomans are four years old and still look great. My dog piddled on one sofa seat and the slip cover/underlying pad prevented moisture from seeping through to the cushion. The dry cleaner was able to remove the stain and odor by actually washing the slipcover and it looks just the same as before. I would have been able to replace cushion, slipcover and underlying pad through Arhaus if I had needed to. I can't advise about the quality of the other brands you mentioned but I do recommend Arhaus.

I am a big fan of Lee Industries. Bought sofa, loveseat, ottoman, then two more chairs, so if a piece is made by a subsidiary of Lee, I’d go for it.

Thank you all so much!!! You've all been really helpful. I will definitely check the manufacturer of the CB sofa I'm looking at. I just went to Bassett today also since they're having a sale, who knew there were so many couches to choose from.

Read up on "8 way hand tied springs" which is the underpinnings of a well-made sofa. That will give you more to ask when dealing with the salesperson. Good luck and have fun shopping!

What about arhaus and crate and barrel leather chairs? Which are a better quality?
