I can only comment on Lazy Boy. My best friend purchased a Lazy Boy sofa & loveseat. The peices have the recliners on the ends of tne sofa, and both sides of the loveseat recline. They work okay for a couple of years, then they get wobbly and hard to use. Not really good quality. I think for the money, I would shop around.

lucky is right. Most "sofa" type seating is going to be too low for the standard dining table. I spent a fairly long time looking for a settee or loveseat to pair with my casual dining table, which is 42" round. I finally bought the Marcel loveseat from PB: http://www.potterybarn.com/products/marcel-mini-sofa/. Your Ballard sectional says the seat height is 18". That is around the same seat height as a typical dining chair BUT your dining chair doesn't "sink down" like a sofa does. Know what I mean? The Marcel loveseat works because it has a higher seat height (22") and it's not super plush so the seat doesn't "sink" too much. I'm not suggesting that the Marcel sofa is your solution, but you need a higher seat height than the Ballard piece. Is a built-in window seat out of the question? That's what I have in my kitchen and I love it. You could make it extra deep with a lot of pillows to make it more comfy.

Older thread - I found this thread because I was looking for honest comments about COCOCO Home. I assume others in my situation will also stumble upon it. First, please know that the following is not intended to be a judgment re: the quality (or lack thereof) of furniture offered by COCOCO Home. I have no personal knowledge/information on this business. I am still researching several possible sources for two leather (requested by my SO) accent chairs for the hearth area in my kitchen. The only ”experience” I have re: leather furniture is one purchase made many years ago (Lillian August leather wingback chair + ottoman w downfilled cushions - which still looks great). The only reason I’m adding a comment is to call out the comment right above mine from 5 months ago. It appears to be very suspect. Based upon the content, I decided to look at the user: this is the ONLY activity @77norman77 has on Houzz. No ideas/inspiration photos saved + no other posts/comments. It just appears to contain way too many details that a typical review by a customer would not have. Also, not only did the user specifically address the areas re: construction that would typically be ”attacked” when discussing whether a sofa is of good quality, the user added more information basically ”defending” COCOCO’s choice to use construction practices that are considered ”sub-par” by high end furniture makers (for example, using plywood instead of real hardwood + a separately installed pocket coil suspension instead of integrated 8 way hand tied coils). I only know about these areas of construction because I am a bit “OCD” about researching information + reading many reviews prior to making larger purchases (it drives my SO crazy - it’s actually kind of debilitating because sometimes it becomes very difficult for me to actually pull the trigger on actually making a purchase). If the above post was made by an actual unbiased customer, I apologize for questioning your motives. I’ve just read so many reviews over the past few days where customers have spent significant (“significant” = what a reasonably knowledgeable Houzz user would consider to be a large amount of $ spent on a couch - not what Houzz professionals would consider significant - very different!) sums of money on sofas/sectionals/accent chairs, only to be very disappointed at the lack of quality after a few months of use. I don’t want the above comment to influence someone’s purchase when it sounds much more like an advertisement than an actual customer review.

After much debate between Century, Taylor King and Vanguard, we ended up with the Vanguard Envision. The deciding factors were mainly size and arm style, although comfort and fabric options also played a role. All three were nice to sit on but we preferred the sloped track arm that only Vanguard offered. The Century would have been our next choice but it was much larger, about 10" in each direction, and we felt it might overwhelm our space. We ordered it from Lexington Furniture, who beat local prices by over $1000. Total cost in a Grade 26 fabric (no decorative upgrades) was $5500. It arrived yesterday and we LOVE IT. Just need to repaint the room and get a new rug! :)
