Custom sofas on the east coast?

I’ve been looking at Dreamsofa and What A Room as I do not want a deep seated sofa and want great cushions so it lasts … both of these are west coast located so I’m worried about delays and delivery. Any recommendations? I’ve been to Room & Board but didn’t like any of their sofas that have a shorter seat depth and they don’t allow you to upgrade cushions.

Online Couch Shopping - is it a bad idea?

Hi reddit! For the first time ever, I’m about to buy furniture (a couch) online without testing in person. My budget is lower than $800 so I’ve been browsing Amazon/Wayfair/HomeDepot.

I realize that this budget won’t get me the most comfortable everyday couch, but here is what I’m eyeballing currently: https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/latitude-run-seliana-8071-w-chenille-upholstered-square-arm-sofa-with-accent-pillows-w112163526.html?piid=1757350645 Seliana 80.71" W Chenille Upholstered Square Arm Sofa with Accent Pillows

I’ve read tons of horror stories about wayfair purchases, but have you all purchased from these cheaper sites before? How was your experience?

Thanks so much!

Super happy with Macy’s Radley

Got the Radley sofa in Heavenly mocha grey and I love it. I ordered it on 6/27 and it arrived on 7/3. The delivery was perfect. It’s firm and supportive, but super comfy. It’s a bit of a lighter shade than I expected, but it’s a beautiful medium grey with subtle brown undertones. Matches with everything. I haven’t lounged or slept on it yet, but I’m sure it will be great.

I read so many delivery horror stories, so I was worried. It couldn’t have turned out better. Macy’s must have listened to their critics.

I’m really glad I didn’t get the Quince Sierra. The swatches came in today and I didn’t like the fabric.

The Radley is currently on sale for $789 through 7/14.

Sofa misalignment

Hi,

I have had this sofa delivered on Monday from DFS. It’s a 3 seater recliner and the middle is showing noticeable misalignment. Someone from DFS has come over and told me this cannot be fixed as these pieces are modular which makes sense. I have spoken to DFS and the branch manager is telling me that they cannot do a refund or a replacement because this is hand crafted. What can I do here? Please let me know as I feel like I am being gaslit but the branch manager telling me that this will soften over time with use. I have attached 2 photos one with the entire sofa and the other more closely showing the misalignment.

Thank you.

Help me find this couch cover please

Hello, I’ve been on the hunt for this couch cover for the past year. My mother in law bought this couch in the early 2000s. She told me she bought it in California, either LA or Manhattan beach area. She passed away recently and I would like to find it for her. We were both searching everywhere online but had no luck. I google image searched and found some close matches to other couches for sale, but no covers. She told me they sold covers for this couch in different colors too. I took the black cover off underneath it and there is no brand name. The fabric feels like cotton and the pattern is slightly raised. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Need help trying to authenticate a Ligne Roset Togo corner seat

Hi there,

I have recently come across a good deal for a what seems to be a used blue canvas Togo corner seat in the local classified in Germany. The sofa seems to be in decent shape for its age however, considering the number of dupes floating about I would like to check for authenticity with y’all.

Just bought this couch and I’m thinking it may be too cool toned for the space. (I thought it was more of a cream color but it turned out to be grey LOL) should I try to make it work? If not I could easily sell it. What other color of couch would you suggest going here?

Does anyone know where I can find a couch like this?

Maximalist Sofas - Where To Find Them!

Hello! I hope this post is allowed! Please let me know if not!

I've just bought my own apartment and super excited to get a good lick of paint and some funky furniture in there! I know a lot of people find super cool furniture on Facebook marketplace and car boot sales, etc, but maybe its just my area that we never seem to have anything fun going for us!

Any suggestions on websites that sell more maximalist sofas/couches and if anyone has any recommendations/experience! I've checked out quite a few websites now but they all seem a bit scammy. I look on places like Sofology and they're cool but end up being a bit too modern for my liking!

I absolutely adore a big ol' sofa, the bubble/round type ones and bright colours like sky blue, lime green, sunflower yellow and baby pink. I know a lot of sofas can be brightened up with blankets and pillows but want a good statement piece for the house!

Thanks guys!

Reading Corner

I turned this corner of my apartment into a reading area and clearly its still pretty bare. Just curious how I could add to the space. Im thinking maybe more wall art and a coffee table or end table. Something like that. Or things to make it more cozy. I'll definitely replace the chair at some point but I dont have a ton of disposable cash right now. Thanks!

New couch, need help!

This is my new DreamSofa Alton sectional. It’s beautiful. But my old ottoman is, um, not. DreamSofa doesn’t seem to make matching ottomans, so I need ideas! What would look nice? I need storage because my kids love blankets and I need a logical place to put them.

Also we need a chair, and I have to decide whether to match the couch exactly or to get a contrasting color or something. What would look nice here?

We are going to buy a new couch and a loveseat in a more neutral color. Would a sofa table help? Should we consider something different? TIA.

Sofa bed recommendations?

Anyone have any sofa bed recommendations that are actually comfortable to sit on for everyday use? I have a small apartment in nyc but have visitors every other month or so. I am looking for a sofa bed that is not wider than 80 or 90” and is actually comfortable / plush to sit on, but have seen mixed reviews online for so many brands.

Anyone have any recs and can help would be greatly appreciated!

Understanding quality of sofa/brands

Hello all! First time sofa buyer here looking to make a solid purchase that’ll last my family and I years. What material should the frame be made out of/which is most durable? Should I be on the lookout for cushion material that won’t flatten quickly as well? Ultimately looking for some guidance so that I can make an informed decision so any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Second, if anyone has any modern furniture brands that are tried and true in the midrange budget bracket (<$3k for a sectional) that would be greatly appreciated. I’ve found valyou, however, again I have no idea how to determine quality from shit.

Sleeper sofa that’s a comfy daily couch?

Hi all,
I got a one bedroom apartment with a living room on the smaller size. I want to get a sleeper sofa for guest but one that’s comfy as a regular everyday couch. I was looking at the koala Byron sofa bed but the reviews on Reddit were pretty negative. Anyone have any recommendations? I don’t want a boneless couch, I want some structure. Traditional sofa beds with the springs and metal bars are unappealing but I’m open if it’s really comfy.

Please help.

Albany Park Kova Sofa - Very Frustrating Experience

If you have pets, I'd avoid the Albany Park Kova in Performance Velvet.
Actually, after my experience, I'd avoid it regardless.
I bought it because it was advertised as pet-friendly, with claims like "tight weave to resist snagging." Within 24 hours of delivery, my 13-lb dog and 10-lb cat left it covered in scratches and even small punctures from normal household use.
After more than two weeks of going back and forth with customer support, their solution was to tell me to trim my pets' nails - even though I attached pictures of a 4-year-old ottoman (from a previous sofa set I gave away) that held up with no damage from the exact same pets.
Meanwhile, while my complaint was still ongoing, the company updated information about the fabric on their page, and the "Pet Friendly" badge and "tight weave to resist snagging" claim disappeared from the description.
Unfortunately for Albany Park, I have screenshots of the original listing, that i am attaching with photos.
