New sofas

[dutchgirl678]

We bought our sectional over 4 years ago when we moved into our new house but we already have to replace it. I always sit on the right hand side where the chaise part is and the cushion never reached far back enough so I was constantly pulling the cushion back to remove the gap. It is also skewed so I would end up sitting in between two cushions and it caused hip pain. My DH always sat in the corner piece and it has significant sagging from where he sat. We bought it at a local furniture store, so I was pretty bummed that it wasn't better quality.

We have been looking at various places for a replacement but a lot of furniture stores have such old-fashioned furniture that we couldn't find something we liked. My DH said we should try La-z-boy and I was expecting more old-fashioned furniture but surprisingly they had some really nice pieces as well. We ended up with two sofas with reclining ends instead of a sectional. They were on sale and in the warehouse, so we will get them on Wednesday already! The back doesn't recline but as you lift the footrest, the seat tilts back when the foot rest is at the top. They are very comfortable.

Here is the old sectional. We hauled it downstairs to our daylight basement yesterday. It was so heavy but we made it.



And here are the two new sofas. I ordered two side tables on Overstock which should come on Friday. For the time being we will use the big ottoman that came with the old sectional.

Here are the new sofas:

ETA: we still have to put pads under the legs and will move them off the rug when we do.

I have two of this model, and I think the same color (navy). We only have two cushions on each side (no center) so the whole thing quazi reclines. We got them in 2018 and they are still like brand new despite two kids and a huge dog and we still love them. I thought the USB ports in them were stupid, but they're really handy. My only complaint is that the recline/unrecline feature takes FOREVER.

I hope you love them as much as we do.

oh nice!!

YAY for your couches!


I just ordered a new couch with chaise - long conversations with DH about his wants - measured, etc....
After 12 weeks it was delivered - and DH wants to put it in a different space in the living room (where I don't think it looks as good) and I'm so annoyed!

k3am, that's good to hear! Ours are a dark gray. I agree with you that the recline/unrecline is super slow. Also when watching TV last night I noticed it felt a little uncomfortable and didn't seem to have great lumbar support. But it could also be because we hauled our giant recliner downstairs and a smaller sofa/chaise from downstairs to the garage, so my lower back / hips are all extra sore right now.

We have a cat and I was worried she would claw at it but so far she has only sniffed and then she laid on it and seems to like it. I put a blanket over part of it to see if she would use that but she preferred the fabric from the cushions, lol. Not sure if we'll use the usb ports. We have wireless charging upstairs in our bedroom and the little side table on the right by the window has a whole slew of chargers etc.
