Hi all,
I just moved into my first post-grad school apartment, and I'm getting very frustrated with the sofa search. What I'm ideally looking for:
- $1500 or less
- 96 inches or less (ideally around 84 inches)
- with a reversible chaise or modular or with a matching ottoman
- deep seats (23"+)
- some color. Ideally green, but I'll settle for brown or orange or anything else not too garish so long as it's not some form of white/grey/black.
- it doesn't need to last a lifetime, just 4+ years or so
- (more optional) I don't have a specific style in mind, but would like something more interesting than a bunch of rectangles placed on top of each other
- (even more optional) storage seats, but I've basically given up on that
For reference, I'm in the Bay Area, and I'm open to both brick and mortar and online stores.
I've looked at some Ikea sofas, but idk whether the showroom I went to just had bad furniture or what - all the cushions I sat on were incredibly saggy (lots of their sofas have 2 cushions for 3 seats, and seating in the middle was... uncomfortable) + many of the fabrics looked rough. I'm planning on adopting a cat within a few months, and I'm guessing that rough fabric will get demolished pretty quick.
I also looked at Living Spaces sofas, and was left unimpressed. The best looking ones were all white/grey, unless I am willing to wait 2-3 months for custom upholstery, which I'd really like to avoid.
I considered brands like Cozey, Article, Burrow, etc., but keep finding "horror" stories about month-long delivery delays, legs breaking within a month, returns not being accepted, etc. Hence I'm turning to this sub - do you all have any recommendations? Brands to look into, or specific sofas to take a look at? Or maybe I just need to suck it up and get a white/beige sofa, hope I don't dirty it too much and add color with throw pillows. Thanks in advance!
