We can't find a quality sofa anywhere--help!
Comments (27)Hi Manbike and other experts, I just bought an Elite full top-grain, aniline plus leather sofa that is made in their California plant. They use tempered steel sinuous springs for both the back and seating suspension. From their site... Depending on the design of an individual style, our frames are made of responsibly forested Pacific Northwest alder hardwood or of Forest Stewardship Council (FCS) certified hardwood plywood. The hardwood plywood frames we produce also meet the strict standards of the California Air Resources Board (CARB). We create the frames in our own mill and reinforce our fames to ensure proper tailoring of the selected covering. And, while others may not use corner blocks at all, we use many in each sofa to enhance its strength. I do not have it yet. Most of the better sofas like HM are out of my price range. I sort of got warn down on my research and took the plunge. I did read a few bad reviews but apparently they have a cheaper side line sold at Macys and a few other stores that is made in China. I'm a bit nervous as I did not try it out in person. Also, if plywood is bad what do they mean by hardwood plywood? Does that mean crap? The choices are so limited around me so I ordered from a dealer I have used in the past. Do you know anything about Elite quality? I have read that not all sinuous springs are bad and that some can be very good. I should add that I did write the factory and ask if my sofas had any China on it, they wrote back and said no, it is made in the California plant. Now granted in the world of furniture I am not making a huge investment. It is however a big investment to me in my world. I bought a four seat Aero sofa and a three seat Aero sofa, both in the top grain leather for a total of $4800. IâÂÂm just hoping that IâÂÂm getting a good mid to mid high quality and not over paying for a poor quality. Trying to get the best bang for your buck in a mid to mid high range is incredibly hard. Not everyone can spring for a HM. With H&M you know what you are getting. Not so much with other brands these days, even brands that formally had a good reputation.

Comments (12)Stay away from any Ashley "sitting" furniture. While their styles look nice, they make junk and I guarantee you will be replacing it well before you thought you'd have to. Do research on "what to look for when buying a sofa" so you know what to check out when you shop, IE: cushion density, how it's built, upholstery (100% poly is my suggestion since I am NOT a fan of leather sofas at all). I agree to look on CL daily. You can find some great things there if you are persistent enough and have means to transport. Just be patient because just when you think you won't find "the piece", it will appear. Trust me, I've found some great furniture from CL including 2 high end, beautiful, matching sitting chairs that I absolutely love that were a steal....sitting in one as I write this. Just make sure any pieces you buy don't have hidden bed bugs so check well (and know where to check and what to look for)....See MoreWhat do you think of RH grey card?
Comments (29)I have bought a lot of pieces from RH for many years. I still really like all of them for their classic style. BUT, I am not drawn into their new enormous stores. Although beautiful like a museum, not inspiring for my home furnishing. And I am so underwhelmed by their source books. Page after page of feeling like you are looking at the same room. RH modern is just to expensive and scale of pieces is too large. Styles have changed to more color and pattern. I would like to incorporate that with my RH classic pieces. Not going to find much color or pattern at RH. So, I haven't spent the 100.00 for a membership. I think good point, it's not a Costco membership where you consistently shop there. There was a 400.00 side chair at RH I wanted to purchase and didn't because one, had to buy 100.00 membership to get price and two, there was 199.00 to ship it. Silliness!! At some point, I will likely buy a membership. There is a large piece I want. I really hope they get things in order in their house and stay in business!! The company is in trouble and is certainly looking at what to do now....See MoreWhat brands still make high quality coffee tables and ottomans?
Comments (20)@M Riz no to amish! Biggest supplier of puppy mill dogs. Also they are not entirely truthful re furniture. Years ago before I was aware of puppy mills we purchased what we thought was an amish built swing to later find out it was amish "assembled". Swing kit purchased from a big box store and they put together....See MoreRelated Professionals
