Check out the Preston sectional from Room&Board. It is extremely comfortable and can be configured in many different ways. The standard fabric it comes in is not microfiber, but it can be ordered in any of the Room&Board fabrics and no extra charge (allow more time). Compared to Pierce sectional I believe it is better quality. You won't be disappointed. We bought ours last year and we are so happy with it we will be ordering it in sofa form for our gameroom. It is that comfy. Here is a link that might be useful: Room&Board website

Thanks so much for all the info everyone. I think I will keep looking. From what you say, I think I may be able to get better quality for the price. It is really hard to find a combination of good quality, a style I like and nice fabric all in one place. I agree about the need to do the tush test, it is just so darn hard here because we have so few quality furniture stores. I have found one custom place that is wonderful, but it is $2300 minimum for a chair. Our budget is about $850 per and I thought we should be able to get a decent chair for that but maybe not. I looked at the Lee industries web site and I am in love. Unfortunately, the closest is even further away than PB. I may email them to see what they can do for me. Does anyone have any idea about cost of the Lee products?

I was set on the Turner grand and found one at my PB outlet for $2200. It’s statesville toffee and I love the color. It does scratch easily but I try to be careful and have one end covered with a throw for my dog. The shape/support is still pretty much like new and we still love it. I also have a James recliner in legacy chocolate and that leather is SUPER durable.

We bought the C&B Gather sofa plus ottomon in leather last year.. It is the standard depth sofa and we were not able to sit in that poarticular sofa prior to ordining it. We ran into the typical delays due to supply chain issues (7 months). When it was delivered, the delivery guys dropped the sofa in the street and damaged the leather. C&B ordered a replacement (another three months). Both of us hate this sofa! It is very uncomforatable. I am 5'11" and it is too deep to comfortably site upright. The back cushions are not fastened to the sofa in any way so they are constantly slidding down. Even when pushed back, the do not provide good back support. I cannot sit in this sofa more than an hour or so before I get a backache. I wanted a sofa/ottomon combination rather than buying a sectional for the verstility so it really limited my selection of sofas. This was a big mistake. On tiop of that, dealing with C&B sales, customer support and their finance company was a real nightmare that I will never go through again.
