Your cautionary comment about West Elm's five-month delivery made me laugh! I ordered the Andes bed from them last fall. NINE months later, I'm still waiting for it to be delivered, with no end in sight. I'll be lucky to get it by Fall. Five months would've been a dream! Unless you order a piece they already have in stock (limited fabrics, certain leg options, etc), prepare to go without your furniture for up to a year. Don't believe the online delivery estimate window. When I ordered, the original estimate was for December 2021 delivery.

I loved the look of that that Plush sofa, so I went to look and it's $2000! Then I realized I was looking at the big sofa, not the 2-piece sectional that you pictured, and that is $1300 and is now saved for when it's time to get a sofa this fall/winter. The Big Sur is SO COMFY! I love that you can get 3 cushions, since I like turning and rearranging my cushions all the time so they don't develop dips.

I've been loving my KIVIK sofa. Was available in a nice charcoal color in my neck of the woods (Japan). Comfortable sofa for lounging and I can't count how many times I've fallen asleep on this couch and woke up feeling great (bad habit I know). Thanks always for your great videos!

I really enjoyed this video, Kiva. Very informative. A few years ago, I bought the Radley sectional and storage ottoman from Macy's in dark gray for my son. It is comfortable and has held up well. Fortunately, I did not experience any delivery issues with Macy's. With respect to Pottery Barn and West Elm (which are under the Williams Sonoma umbrella), I have been waiting for a chair for seven months from Pottery Barn and have now been told that it will be at least another month. Same with West Elm. I ordered two chairs from them mid April and was advised that the earliest delivery date will be mid-September. Knowing their delivery record, I will be lucky to receive them before the end of the year. I am a long time Pottery Barn customer, but after I receive my chairs, that is it. I will no longer purchase any furniture from either West Elm or Pottery Barn. Customer service is the worst and quality has declined. So disappointing.

Great suggestions! I have the Andes in performance velvet! Very nice! The only con is it sits a bit to low for my mobility issue. So weird because I did sit on it in the store. In hindsight, I think I loved the look so much perhaps that blinded my decision making. Unfortunately, I’m not enjoying sitting on it as much I would like. Oh yes, I bought during peak pandemic and it was a few months before delivered.

@garnetofjanuary1669 2 жыл бұрын

Great video! I literally just ordered a sofa this this morning before watching this video, haha! I was actually considering the Andes sofa, but went with the Article Abisko sofa in Quartz white. They are very comparable in price point, but I don’t have 5-6 months to wait for a West Elm sofa in the color I want. Also, delivery inside my room was only $70! I also found the Andes to be somewhat uncomfortable for everyday, lounging experiences.

I bought a sectional queen sleeper sofa from Ethan Allen 20 + years ago. I had it covered with a heavy Italian Robert Allen tapestry patterned fabric. I still have it. I had the pullout bed replaced. This was a costly sectional bc of the sleeper part and the fabric. But it has survived cats children and many sleep overs for twenty years. It is in a den where the tv is. Very well used piece of furniture. My college aged son loves this sofa. Many Fortnite games played while sitting on it in middle school and high school. My daughter watched many movies with multiple friends sitting on this sofa. This sofa is in a high profile part of the house. It is not hidden in a basement. I told my husband this is it. We are never going sofa shopping again 20 years ago. He figured it was worth the price if he never had to buy another sofa. 😂😂😂Buy good and hold. Don’t go cheap on a sofa!

@marychristensen7386 2 жыл бұрын

Great video. The con of getting a sofa and then needing to return it is super important to think about. Recently I purchased a sofa for my Alaskan condo. Obviously, it is important to buy furniture locally and not online so companies like Amazon or Ikea were out. And none of the furniture stores you talk about have locations in Alaska. So, I went with Ashley Furniture. I wanted to find a reasonably priced sectional that could be made into a bed and I thought I found the perfect one at Ashley after sitting in it for like a second. Then I got it delivered and it was incredibly hard and uncomfortable and I had to return it. So, I called and spoke to their manager who cheerfully told me it could be returned and I found a much more comfortable sofa (but not a sectional). I was so happy to find a furniture store with such good customer service.

Or if one of the performance fabrics can protect the cushions if puppy decides (despite being taken out regularly and being neutered) to mark the couch. Yes, I've told the puppy we do not appreciate him doing this even if it is random. We have a mid-century/modern living room. Your advice is greatly appreciated!! ❤

Kiva!!!!! I’ve been looking/shopping around for a sofa for approximately 4 months!! I don’t want a sectional or modular unit. I will not buy online. I need to try the sofa prior to buying it and will not deal with having to return it. As a “mature” woman I’m finding it overwhelming just to buy a sofa 😭😭😭. I am 5’ tall and am looking for a medium to firm sofa. My experience in going to the store is that in most cases I can’t even tell the actual color due to lighting or worse. I live in Fl. If the sofa has been displayed near the window for an extended period of time the sofa has discolored. At this point I’ve just given up. 😭😭😭
