Four Seasons is a great company, they are a family owned business. I am a designer and I have a wholesale account. I have many accounts with different companies from very high end to medium. There furniture is nice medium to higher end for excellent prices. All companies were having problems with production during COVID and other for reasons. I am surprised to hear it is taking this long to receive orders from them. I live in NC, orders normally take around 4 weeks unless they are out of the fabric that was selected. A few things could be holding up orders, it depends on who you buy it from. When you select a piece, look at the details, measurements, cushions, mattress. Standard is fine for some people and it sits fine but you have choices to upgrade to fit your needs and your budget. I think there upgrade prices are very fair and worth it if you like a down softer feel, if you buy a sleeper I would advice not to order firm because a sleeper sits firmer than a sofa. My clients have never had a problem with what they bought, they have been pleased. I am working on a Multi Project right now I am ordering 5 sofas, 10 chair and many dining chairs. Since I am on a tight budget I am ordering standard but I am happy with a standard feel. I am ordering the Benton Sofa Queen sleeper 41” deep for a client in white sunbrella, we upgraded all the cushions to down feather blend, throw pillows in down,upgraded mattress to Memory Flex Mattress. Before you order from a store or designer ask them to call and ask Four Seasons what the receiving date will be. It may vary some but it shouldn’t be long unless they are out of the fabric but they can check this to. The back orders that I have had have taken around 1 to 2 weeks. If there is a problem getting a date you might want to select another fabric or buy what you need and send it in as COM order which is a grade 1-3 price, sunbrella is a 10 grade. Good luck!

I have been using laundress products for over a year now. My overall opinion is that I will not be buying any more. My husband keeps telling me his clothes smell bad and especially our workout clothes, which I have used their sport detergent and it smells of that funky biofilm where bacteria is now trapped in the clothing. Once you get that it, is virtually impossible to get out. I feel like our clothes are ruined. My husband even commented that our sheets smell funny. They never smell fresh, only for a few minutes after I take it out of the wash. I even tried the fabric sprays and nothing works. I will be using this up and going back to my old school laundry detergent. I think it’s just pretty packaging and good marketing.

As an update to my February 10, 2021 post about Revolution “Hailey” fabric - it’s been 14 months and we could not be more pleased. It gets heavy use - my kids and husband sleep on it and they spend every evening on it watching TV (and all day Saturday/Sunday watching sports). No pilling and no visible wear - it looks like the day or teas delivered. It is a tight weave which I believe lends itself to a superior performance over some of the other patterns referenced in this thread. We have not tested it for stains - so far no accidents.

Suezbell is dead on. If you're going to spend big money, do it on high quality, neutral furnishings. Since you have pets and kids, opt for something that's liquid-resistant and stands up to pet nails. I really recommend neutral style, as well as colors. If you decide later on that you want to go with a hindi influence or southwestern or modern, you do any of those with accent pieces and decor. But investing in a high-quality sofa that will hold up for a decade is where you want to drop the big dollars. (I'm not saying buy an expensive one, just that it should be the most money you probably spend.) Is anyone in your family handy? If they are, try going to ana-white.com and taking a look at some of her designs. She has many different styles and you can sort her plans by the type of room you need furniture for. Even though I know you're really excited about a new house and want to go buy everything RIGHT NOW, I really, really, really really really recommend against it. What you buy on impulse now you will regret spending the money on later. Especially "cheap" disposable pieces. Try living on your old furniture for a couple of months, rearrange it, and see how it works, then based on the arrangement you like, choosing permanent furniture of really good quality. Quality is really the key here, because a quality piece won't need to be replaced in two years. It will save you money - and be MUCH comfortable - in the long run. I say this sitting on an $800 sofa I got last year that the cushions have all sunken in on. Learn from my mistake. Go for quality over "furnishing" a room.
