check sofacraft.org in laguna niguel. they have a great copy of the seabury

I've owned several PB couches and I 'almost' bought the Carmel with chaise which is basicaly a slighter version of Big Sur which I also considered. Nope, I'm not risking it. I'm on the verge of ordering a Dream Sofa. The cushions have a three year replacement warranty. There are enough reviews on Reddit and here for me to feel comfortable. We know the depth and firmness we like and they offer multiple types of cushion densities. Their site doesn't' have many 'real' pictures but I spoke personally with a rep who sent me customer picks of the model I was interested in and I am super impressed. They are also sending me samples of their entire line of fabrics in the color range I'm interested in for free. The two performance samples I've tested were easy to clean and attractive. The price for my choices is less than PB w/premium fabric.

We are replacing the carpet with luxury vinyl planking (pictured below). It’s called ombré gray - a mixture of grays and taupe. Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

Sunshyne, I have often noticed the same EXACT thing — furniture that is for “trade only” looks EXACTLY like pieces sold in big box stores and it’s hard for me to believe it isn’t :). And I can get a custom couch fairly easily — Sherrill for example or Cisco Home… :) the price I would pay to hire a designer for my home would be much more than their trade discount. I mean one can easily pay a designer 30k during home Reno’s and most aren’t going to want to do small potato projects. Someday when My kids are grown I would really like John Derian for Cisco brothers tulip chairs and can just call them to use my own fabric:) I’ve owned 2 CB couches (currently the slipcovered willow which I don’t think they make anymore ). I like that CB2 couches (at least they used to be) are made in NC, 8 way hand tied. The fabric holds up. I have a PB rocker and the fabric has pilled. The only reason I got rid of my last CB sofa (fabric and cushion were perfect after 7 years) was because my kids drew all over them with markers and let them drip all over the cushions. There are few brands I can think of where they are truly trade only at least according to their website (Minton-Spidell comes to mind) but it’s hard for me to believe that if you didn’t call one of these furniture stores as a customer (at the end of the day, doesn’t money always talk and spend the same:)) that you couldn’t get what you wanted.
