Room and board sectional?

[gerberdaisy]

I’m trying to decide which sectional to get. So far I’ve looked at Ethan Allen, the Radley, lovesac, and now have come across Room and Board.

Does anyone have one and if so which one? The price seems right, but I won’t be able to go to a store before purchasing. I’m looking for something really comfortable, but stays looking good. I ordered a couple swatches, but would love any personal experience.

Thanks!

I think cville has one.

I have had 2. The quality is great for the price and I absolutely love R&B’s customer service. I would say to pay attention to the measurements and try to compare against a current couch if you can. The first sectional was the Morrison. It was a nice firm-ish seat and very deep. I’m short so I didn’t enjoy sitting on it, my feet couldn’t touch the ground. I felt like I had to always lay or sit on the chaise. Truly a good sectional if you want a lounge back and watch tv kinda feel. Now I have a York and it’s like a slim line Morrison. Much easier to sit upright for short people but also still a lounging couch. The cushions are softer than the Morrison. It’s held up great. I do fluff the York once a month or so to keep it neat but it’s not as bad as I’ve saw some pottery barn or westelm couches.

I have the sumner fabric if you have questions about that one.

We have the Cade from Room and Board, and I love it. It’s super comfortable and durable, and their customer service is great. Ours is velvet which I was wary of with a wild at the time 7 year old, but it’s been great.

 I was looking at the York last night probably in the Dawson Cement.  Sounds like just what we are looking for, thank you! I ordered some swatches last night, so just fingers crossed one of the stocked colors will work in our room.

For yours, do you find is pretty easy to clean?

gerberdaisy, welp this is going to sound gross but I've never cleaned it. I have sumner charcoal and it doesn't show dirt/stains. I do vacuum it due to pet fur and no issues there. I do remember liking the Dawson fabrics but the color wasn't what I wanted.

We have a couch, not a sectional. It is a very durable fabric and we've had no issues cleaning it. That said there is a lot of variation in how fragile the fabric is- I asked a salesperson which colors would be the most durable and they were able to tell me.

We have the holmes sofa and it is very firm, which we wanted. Not sure if it comes as a sectional. Our color is Sumner cadet, that fabric comes in other colors.

The velvet is surprisingly easy to clean. I vacuum it regularly and appt clean with a wet rag.

I do! They don't sell mine anymore. It's 9 years old and still looks and feels practically new. I believe the manufacturer was Shenandoah Furniture.

I also have a sleeper sofa from R&B that is phenomenal. That one they still sell, the Berin. I got the "thin arm" platform in a queen.

R&B has a search feature that let's you choose fabric by features such as family friendly, fade resistant etc.

We have one it’s almost 8 years old and in great shape. I love how easy it is to move and take apart when we clean underneath. We have 2 kids and 2 dogs and it’s held up well to all the abuse they’ve given.
Edit pretty sure we have the York in the Dawson fabric. We have a chair and ottoman too.

We have a Room and Board pull out couch and while it’s not my favorite (my h picked out the style and fabric) I can’t say enough about the quality and customer service. They replaced the whole couch after my husband decided he didn’t like the leg height.

That is amazing customer service! And I don't think I even notice leg height in sofas lol.

my husband is a designer and unfortunately notices everything.

I was amazed that they did this. After we received it my husband reached out to the salesperson asking to change our the legs and they said they couldn’t switch them out, but would instead switch out the whole sofa. We were pretty impressed.

Room & Board is headquartered in a Minneapolis suburb, and they have a weekend outlet every weekend with returns, slightly damaged, and discontinued merchandise. Basically my entire house is furnished from there. In our basement TV room, we have a Linger sectional that we got a year ago. It was a custom fabric that would have cost close to $6,000, and we got it for less than $3,000, so a great deal. It's very comfortable, and it's held up great so far to a lot of use.

All their furniture is very solidly made, and as others have commented, their customer service is amazing. I recommend them highly.

We love our R&B York sectional. We have the wedge piece that's double width on one side and it's so amazing to cuddle up in. I believe ours is Dawson Grey. With 2 kids that regularly jump on it and all 4 of us lounging, it has held up great in the last 6 years that we have had it.

Prior to this one, we had a regular couch and chair. After about 3 years the fabric was pilling really badly. I called R&B and they gave me a 100% refund. I used that money to buy this sectional - completely different and they had no problem with that. Customer service is absolutely top notch!

We bought our bedroom furniture from R&B as well and will continue to buy furniture from there.
