Is there anyone tried Crate and Barrel lotus sectional sofa

Is there anyone tried Crate and Barrel lotus sectional sofa?

I am looking for a 40" in depth sofa since my husband and me love to stay on sofa a lot.

I originally wanted a RH cloud and saw a lot of love & hate reviews here and made me change my mind... however, I tried to google any review about the Lotus, and have no luck.

I am not sure how long it's in the market. Maybe it's an ok option and people don't hate or love it and give no review? On the other hands, the lounge sofa received many great reviews. Does anyone have any experiecne owning a lotus can share some thought about it? Thank you in advanced.

" Just fluff and rotate"

If you are into high maintenance, ANY of these are the sofa for you. This will become a twice daily job, at a minimum. Deeper yet? Try this one from Arhaus,you may never again even NEED your bed.

Lol, Jan is right I fear. I cancelled my order for two of those C & B sofas for that reason. The sales person kept telling us to “ be sure to rotate the cushions regularly” etc. I ordered two Room & Board sofas instead. Very tailored looking but not very “loungey”, not for everyone, but I like the neat appearance. I don’t want my sofas to look like an unmade bed.

I’m also considering the axis reversible chaise. I’ve called several C&B stores to ask about it and they argued with me saying that it doesn’t come with a reversible chaise. Wish the employees were familiar with their products.

@Salina For the year we had the C&B Axis II it held up exceptionally well. Cushions looked just as they did when new. On the couple of occasions when a spill occurred, the stock Douglas fabric did what it's advertised to do - liquid rolled off and it resisted any staining. I say 'had' because we needed to leave it behind when we sold that much-too-big house for one half the size, tucked up high on a mountain top in California - where we are now. But we did like the Axis so much we're planning to buy a smaller version of it, once the remodel of the new place is complete.

Crate and Barrel Lounge sectional or Arhaus Kipton sectional?
Q
Comments (12)
I have been happy to see Crate & Barrel bringing back the bumper sectionals. I was seriously considering the Axis bumper sectional, but ended up going with a different brand without a bumper (due to my specific use). Keep in mind that the C&B Lounge is really really deep. 29"! I have a 27" deep Room & Board sectional (with a bumper) and while I do love it, at 5'6" my feet definitely do not touch the ground sitting normally on it. I'm pretty sure 21"-23" seat depth is more "normal". I ordered something with a 24" depth for just a little extra depth for my 6'3" husband's long legs. The outside depth of the Arhaus Kipton is 2" less than the Lounge or you can order it an even shallower size. Just something to keep in mind when you're choosing.

IMO sectionals are the most expensive way to but a bunch of middle seats on a sofa. Comfort comes from arm rests no matter how big the sectional there are 2 so you have 2 people that are comfy and the rest all lind up like kids birthday party all those seats just like sitting in the dreaded middle seat on a sofa. I like a sofa and 2 choirs for the most comfy seating for 4 and for furniture arranging.

check out this discussion on the restoration hardware cloud sofa. i think the crate and barrel version is mentioned in the responses as well. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/4203792/restoration-hardware-cloud-modular-sectional-review#n=268

bottom line, these styles require A LOT of maintenance, because the fill doesn't have any foam core to keep the shape of the cushions.

Apparently, Crate and Barrel changed their cushions a few months ago. They now have a foam core.

Has anyone tried or heard any reviews of the crate and barrel “Oceanside” couch or the Pottery Barn “Dream” couch? They both seem to have foam inserts now.
