After buying and researching sofas for 30 years, I think I have really come to the conclusion that it is best to not buy big chain sofas. Try the small furniture store, someone who will back the brand. They will have a high end, mid and lower end. Pottery barn $4000 sofa likely is a $900 sofa. A furniture store can get you a $2300 Spectra home great solid sofa. Or Wesley Hall. Or CR Lane or LEE Industries. The names you would see at the various Design Marts-Atlanta, High Point Las Vegas, where Interior Designers go To buy items for their clients. Go on the upholstery web site and select designer locator to find a dealer near you. Start there.
