$2200 for non 8 way hand tied Lee sofa (by Crate & Barrel)
Comments (12)I am the owner of a North Carolina furniture manufacturer. I am pretty sure that the Grade Q linen fabric you like is costing you several hundred dollars more than a good serviceable 100% cotton fabric would, but if that is the fabric you like then go for it. You are going to have this furniture in your home for 10 years or more and the last thing you want is to choose a cheaper substitute and then decide six months up the road that it just doesn't turn you on the way the more expensive fabric did. Regarding the age-old sinuous wire vs. 8 way hand-tied coil spring controversy -- Sinuous wire will last just as long (if not longer) than 8 way hand-tied and save you about $400 on the cost of the sofa. From a comfort standpoint, it takes a very sensitive rear end to tell the difference when you are sitting on a good quality cushion. Even the experts can't consistently distinguish between the two just from sitting on the sofa. Lee has a long reputation for making an excellent quality product at a good value. Of course you should actually try out the sofa before purchasing. A sofa that feels extremely comfortable to someone else may not be comfortable for you....See MoreCameron Sofa from Crate & Barrel vs. Horizon Sofa at Rowe
Comments (2)I also went through something similar but after reading the reviews here on Rowe and on Lee, I decided to go with a true Lee sofa (that has the 8 way hand tied springs). I went through NC and got a price that is even cheaper than the Cameron sofa (Grade H fabric). Not sure how long you're planning to keep your furniture, but I had a cheap sofa before and I regretted it. Now that I am getting my LR re-done, I decided that I wanted better quality furniture. I picked very neutral fabric b/c i want to make sure that it doesn't go out of style....See MoreCrate and Barrel Axis II sectional in Douglas Ice color
Comments (153)@Anne Smith they are both comfortable to me (i had heard ery good things from axis owners) - for the 88" length the Metro deep is a little deeper - 43" vs 41"i think on axis overall and the "interior" depth from back cushioin to front edge of seat cushion is like 28/29" whereas i think it's more like 25 on axis. Metro seat cushions feel a little more "cushiony"/"springy" (but not soft) than axis which felt "firmer" - i think becausethe seat cushions on Metro (deep version only) are spring down (so coils in them) vs pure foam wrapped with down i . Also i think the back frame on Axis is taller and i think feels like it sits a bit more "upright" (the back of Metro feels more like C&B lounge sofa than Axis). Although the douglas fabric on Axis is very durable, the look was a little too "suedey" for me, and i couldn't use the ice or white color - I needed more of an ivory (so i would have gotten Icon pearl) . The ivory sumner fabric on the Metro is really nice (100% polypropylene)...See MoreMaidenhome Sullivan vs crate barrel lounge vs pottery barn dream
