Hi! I am trying to decide between two teal sectional sofas. One is the Retreat by Ethan Allen and the other is York by Room and Board. I have a grey chair from R&B that is about 6 six years old and it has held up really well. However, Ethan Allen offers the Crypton fabric, which might be better for me since I have pets who sometimes throw up on the sofa, and I'm also a mess who spills things a lot. The Ethan Allen sofa also comes out to be slightly cheaper, even when you add on the $299 warranty. Does anyone have experience with these two brands who could offer some advice? Thanks!

@danielburns What did you decide on getting? I am in a similar situation. Love the customization at Monarch but there is no showroom in the northeast. I even asked if I could purchase a cushion but they declined. It’s hard to buy a sofa based in reviews IMO.

We have two cats and the only fabric they are not drawn to scratch on in our home is velvet. I assume it’s because it doesn’t “catch” to meet their needs.

Sumner feels like Sunbrella but a touch softer. I do like it and think it will hold its shape. Tatum is much softer, lounge feel. Super cozy. Think it will require more fluffing but would be worth it. Not sure about Flint.
