This is a comment on an EA QuickShip from last year at Houzz - " I have purchase both EA and Pottery Barn. I've had great luck with both. Pierce sectional from Potterybarn was bulletproof and super comfy with great cushions. Moved it to basement only because it didn't work in our new living room. My EA quick ship sofas are ok, just don't love the fabric because it's scratchy. As for the poster complaining about her PB sofa being uncomfortable, well, that's why you go sit on them in the showroom! You have to pick the one that has the depth nd angle and cushions you like. You can't just order a sofa online without sitting in it. "

Thanks! I have a designer coming over tomorrow - love their free in-house consultation option! I really like the Retreat sofa with the track arm. She had several fabrics that I liked, but in the store, I kept going back to 2 of the quick ship fabrics (even though the Retreat w/track arm is not available with quick ship). She will be bringing several choices for me tomorrow, so I should be able to make a good decision. Looking for durable, no pilling, soft, textured and a good "background" color to build on.

Also, if someone can come up with a good layout for this room, I would be thankful. I'm leaning towards 2 sofas instead of the current sectional in the picture. Also, the TV is no longer in the corner, it is above the fireplace. I am not keeping any of the current furniture, so this would be a suggestion for a whole overhaul :)

Where is the fireplace located?

And good job connecting with an EA Designer for the home call. The designer will be able to a full floor plan of the space for you as well.

I have been an EA customer for many years. I have purchased at least 3 sofas through the years and have never been disappointed. Their fabric quality is excellent, including the quick ship.

The fireplace is on the right of picture, 5'6"

Here are some quick ideas given the information you sent :)

Christopher, thanks for the rendering it looks great! The windows at the top of the picture happened to be French doors that lead into the living room. Knowing this would you still do a sofa that extends past the opening? Or would you push everything back? That is the biggest issue I am having right now is organizing this room, the French doors. Behind the sofa area on the left, is a round kitchen table and then the kitchen. So I can’t go to far back.

Sorry about that, I see the doors now. Yes, if you have the room move back further past the door opening as far as you can go without interfering with the dining room.

You may need an 88" Sofa and a 63" Love seat rather than two 88" Sofas.

We purchased an EA Bennett Roll Arm Sofa (quick ship) 1.5 years ago. It's comfortable and still looks brand new. Two adults use it on a daily basis, however, no pets or young kids, which may or may not make a difference.
