I have tons of Arhaus in my house--chairs, tables, couches, bureaus, beds, buffets, coffee tables. My son's bed looked great but was crap particle board construction. Thankfully, it was still under warranty, and I picked a new bed.

My Arhaus couches (I have several) are starting to sag (5 years roughly). My sons are probably hard on them. Arhaus has some nicely constructed stuff, and they have some crappy constructed stuff--so you really want to see the items in person. Arhaus is not priced at Henredon prices, so no, you are not going to get top shelf quality. It is also not priced like Henredon, so I think its a decent choice for the money. I had a Room and Board sofa most recently before, and I like the design choices of Arhaus much better. The Bernhardt sofa I had before that was crap quality. The Henredon I had before that was too much of a pain to recover.

I have nothing to go by other than comments on Houzz from when I was looking at upholstered furniture. Many said Arhaus isn't great quality.

Painting technique from 'Holmes Inspection'
Q

I did not see that episode of H.I., but the paint technique is a very simple one. With base color, preferably eggshell already painted, you can then *wash* on a top color. It can be lighter, as the one you saw, or it can be darker. You can even just lighten the base color w/white. Mix the glaze (paint + glaze + water) and apply with a brush, just skimming the top surface, keeping most of it out of the grooves. Hold the brush more on an angle, say a putty knife, with a side to side movement, or the letter X. (It's all in the wrist). Or, brush on and wipe off with a rag. Practice right on the wall for technique, and once you've confirmed color/technique, just paint over it. And, I think it's safe to work in short intervals with this technique. Meaning you won't see where you stopped and started. Good luck!!

Who lives in White Sofa World?

I like my upholstered pieces to be neutral and light, so of course, off white! But the only way to go is to have a washable, bleachable slipcover. My off white slipcovered sofa and two club chairs are from Crate & Barrel and they're great. I don't find the slips difficult to get on or off at all and they fit snugly and have no zippers. I have washed them three times in a little over two years. I have no kids, but I live in that room. However, I once read a post from someone who had white slips, from Ikea I think, and a couple of small kids. She was bragging that they looked great and she only had to wash them once a week! That's too much work even if they jump off the furniture and into the washer themselves!

Here is a 3D rendition with several of the suggestions incorporated; for your consideration. Yes the furniture is not exactly like yours but it's the placement that is being presented. The seating area is just as you already have it with a slight adjustment. The world globe is not in the rendering The long bench has been replaced with a cubby with containers in it (dollar store, love it!!) A floor lamp like the one you already have was added Two baskets for toys A storage unit with more containers like one you can find at IKEA; Kallax it believe As you can see the dresser and mirror were moved to the opposite wall to make room for the storage unit.

Which sofa: Arhaus or Room & Board?
Q
Comments (25)
Hi everyone, glad to see this post resuscitated! In the end, to my own surprise, we ordered the C&B Axis II sectional. I spent an hour with a Room & Board designer and was all set to order couches there, but I brought my teenager to test the options and it was clear that it wouldn't work. He's 6'3" and every sofa he sat on looked like kiddie furniture. I really really would have loved to get the beautiful Arhaus white sofas but I realized I was going to spend every day anxious about an errant glass of chocolate milk. I did investigate the higher end options, but in the end the Axis was the most practical option. We'll see - our reno is moving really quickly now and hopefully we'll be moved back in by early/mid March with the new furniture. Will post an update then.
