Where to buy a sectional sofa?
Comments (5)If you're OK with purchasing your new sectional sofa online vs. in a local furniture store then you should check out clubfurniture.com in North Carolina. They have a variety of custom sectionals in fabric (including slipcovered) and leather. They don't have physical showrooms, however, they'll send you free swatch samples of their covering materials. You can basically design your sectional to fit your room. Nice selection of styles and colors. Good luck!

Comments (27)Mrykbee and pandtkendall, thank you for your replies. That's great you found what you wanted on Craig's List. Nothing better than getting what you like at a price you like. Pandtkendall that's great you enjoy your HM sofa and enjoyed working with Duane. Here's to many, many years of enjoyment. I am comfortable buying furniture from a distant company. Thanks for mentioning Duane. I will look him up. I'd love to travel to his store in the near future. I bought a Classic Leather sofa and recliner in 1987 from a company in Southern Pines owned by two fantastic brothers Miller and Cliff Barnes. I never met them and did everything over the phone The furniture has seen heavy use and three large dogs over the years. I love the leather but I'm tired of the style. The sofa still looks good but the recliner is aging. My husband and I used to sit in the recliner together and then our 90 pound dog would climb up on our laps. I took care of the furniture and faithfully cleaned it and moved the cushions around. Maybe around ten years or so I had new insides made for the cushions. The sofa sits right in front of a big window with lots of light. There isn't any sun damage. At some point I tried to kill the furniture using 409 or water and vinegar to clean it but didn't die. (Not cleaning products I'd ever suggest). I have no idea what type of leather but it's soft and indestructible. I realize today's leather will not be as good as the older leather we have but we want our next set to also be leather. Again, thanks for getting back to me.....See MoreQuality sectional/sofa - brands to try?
Comments (12)After much debate between Century, Taylor King and Vanguard, we ended up with the Vanguard Envision. The deciding factors were mainly size and arm style, although comfort and fabric options also played a role. All three were nice to sit on but we preferred the sloped track arm that only Vanguard offered. The Century would have been our next choice but it was much larger, about 10" in each direction, and we felt it might overwhelm our space. We ordered it from Lexington Furniture, who beat local prices by over $1000. Total cost in a Grade 26 fabric (no decorative upgrades) was $5500. It arrived yesterday and we LOVE IT. Just need to repaint the room and get a new rug! :)...See MorePlease Help Me Decide Best Family Room Layout & Sectional
Comments (6)Here are the mock-ups that I created. Links are to the different sectionals, but not the specific configuration. The recliner on the right is our existing one. The coffee and end tables are just suggestions, but haven't been decided on. The rectangle on the wall across from the fireplace is the secretary desk that I already have. ETA - the layouts in A and B are similar, except the end on the short side is armless in B and the long side in B is longer by almost a foot. A. Room & Board York Sectional R&B York Sectional B.
