Anyone have a couch made by Klaussner?

[huskymom]

I'm looking for a small sectional for our family room that we won't mind too much replacing when the kids are a little older, but want something a step up from the local cheap places (like a Bobs Furniture if you're in NE) or IKEA. Any feedback?

I do and I wouldn't buy another. It is 7 yo and in rough shape.
We have a dog but she's 12-13lb and an 8mo who is only crawling as of yesterday. So all the wear is from DH and I.

I am also smaller-sectional shopping this weekend   It's hard to find one that's less than 100"!

It doesn't look like this Klaussner is available near me but the size is perfect! Let me know if you decide on anything!

I've had 2 Klaussner sofas.

The first one was very comfortable and pretty but the fabric wore terribly...it became pilled and I had to constantly sweater shave it.

The 2nd one is a microfiber (looks velvety) sectional. It's very comfortable and we get a lot of compliments on it. The best thing though is that it wipes clean very easily.

So I like Klaussners but watch the fabric you pick!

Thanks! It wouldn't be our main living space so I don't want to spend too much. I would definitely go for a microfiber type fabric. We currently have an England set of couches from the same store and the dogs have ripped it up a little bc it's more of a textured fabric.

Did you mean to link one? I am looking at the Troupe sectional in an L shape, but it's 90 by 115.

No sofas from there, but I have several chairs from Klaussner (3 to be specific--two recliners and one rocker-swivel-recliner that's awesome).  FYI, the fabric of whatever upholstery furniture you buy is one of the major factors in its price point.  Better fabrics=higher price tag, but I will be honest in that I'm pretty sure that even their most expensive fabrics still aren't in the "best" category.  I buy their products because I think it's a good product for its price point--I use it in the areas where I don't/won't expect my furniture to last a lifetime and where my taste might change.  I definitely like the fact that their upholstery is finished in the US and they have really quick delivery of those items--no worries about ports closing or any of the other imported upholstery nonsense.   (I have a bit of an inside on the furniture industry as a whole so that's where my perspective is coming from.)

So we had a klaussner for 8 yrs. It went through 3 dogs and 3 cats. It was a 10x10 sectional in dark blue microfiber. The back cushions were not attached - which was the start of it's demise. The dogs were constantly knocking the cushions off while we were at work, the cats would try to sleep on the backs, but they would start to slouch. Then the dog spilled a Dunkin Donuts cappuccino on the sofa (a worker left it on the table and the dog stole it...) and that sealed it's death. I could never get the smell out of the cushions no matter how many times I steam cleaned it. It showed stains like nothing else and held on to smells badly.

The frame wore well and the cushions were still relatively comfortable when we got rid of it for leather.
