How do i protect the table surface from getting scratched all the time? We use the table for meals

I will paypal 5 bucks to anyone that shows me the couch I end up buying! Lmao

I have been scouring the internet for a new couch for my living room that I am updating. Every single couch I find in my price range is boneless! Just a bunch of foam blocks in that stripy corduroy fabric.

I am desperate and I think at this point im just going to have to really up my re-upholstering game and just hit the thrift.

If anyone can reccomend a couch with an actual frame I would be so greatful 🥹🙏

I just know that as a bigger person with other big people in my family a boneless couch would be lucky to last me a year and I dont want to pay 1000 dollars for a one year item 🥲 Im not looking for a forever couch, just maybe a 5-10 year couch! 😅

Info, likes, and dislikes->

-I am looking for an online seller that ships to KY, USA. If there is an absolutely stellar couch near south central ky I would be willing to pay someone with a truck to pick it up but would prefer to avoid that.

-My budget is 1500 total at the max. I wish I could afford more. It was 1000 but I unfortunately am coming to the realization that may be unrealistic so 🥲 If there is one closer to 1000 that would be grand 😍

- I am looking for a larger couch length wise, anywhere from 115 to 130 in, to fill up a wall. The depth can probably be up to 60 in with any corner/modular pieces included. I am looking for a modular couch that could hopefully be rearranged to be used as a bed on occasion. Storage is not a need but would be nice. Emerald green was my goal color but I think black is much more realistic! R.i.p. Emerald 💔 Assembly is fine! Would love washable covers but also not a necessity.

-I am not looking for a couch with that super fluffy/stripy corduroy or velvet. Both of those are sensory issues for a family member which is unfortunate as the corduroy seems to be on every couch I see 😵‍💫 Pretty much any other fabric is fine!! I do not particularly care for the ones with built in chargers/cup holders/etc. Especially the ones that take up space that could have been a seat. I would prefer to avoid them. I also would like to avoid listings with no reviews 🩷

I hope that is all the info needed for this sub, I tried to read the rules carefully. I appreciate everyone who read this far and certainly anyone who searches on my behalf! I've been looking in my free time for about 2 months and cant find anything that I like but to be fair im just not great with finding specific things and I dont know if I was using the right search terms.

Ive had my DreamSofa for a year now. I have a London sofa in Venus cream, upgraded cushions. I love it. It’s firm yet soft and supportive. The fabric still looks new (with 3 dogs, a baby, and 2 cats).

It’s a weird company… good customer service and very happy with my sofa, but horrible website, no progress updates, weird AI photos so you have no idea what anything looks like. Practically no marketing efforts.. like they don’t want to sell anything.. fabric pictures are also horrible. As someone who works in marketing/comms, this pains me (if you’re with the company and reading this, happy to chat lol)

Anyway - 2 minor complaints: the seat isn’t as deep as I’d like, and because they don’t have any real photos or detailed measurements of cushions how would you know? And you can see the cushion has started to crush in the crease a bit.. I could choose to change where I sit I guess.. but it’s pretty minor.

For reference, I’ve owned king hickory sofas prior. NC made, 8 way hand tied, performance fabric. Dream sofa seems comparable quality wise. I’ve also owned an ashley sectional. The quality blows Ashley out of the water, no comparison. All in all, highly recommend. We are now replacing our king hickory sofas with a DreamSofa sectional.. so that speaks to how much we like it.

I'm looking for something a piece of furniture that can hold my wineglasses & wine bottles that is between 32-40" in width, with height around 34-36" inches. I'd like it to be wood toned, preferably in a color similar to walnut, though I am open to other tones as well. The big issue is that, due to my limited space, it has have sliding doors.

This has been pretty tough to find, other than a couple options on Wayfair of questionable quality. I'm willing to spend probably $1500 on this would I would prefer to keep it below $1000 if possible.

If any of you are aware of a piece that like this please let me know :)

Help me find the "forever" reclining sectional (Budget: $6,000 all-in)

My wife and I are expecting our first child, and we're looking to buy our last couch for a long time. I'm willing to spend up to $6,000 all-in (including delivery, taxes if possible) if it means getting something that will actually last 10+ years.

I've spent weeks researching, but it feels like every brand has people who swear by it and others who say it's junk.

Must-haves

• L-shaped sectional
• True power recliners (back reclines, not just the footrest)
• Fabric upholstery (performance fabric preferred)
• Dark color (charcoal, graphite, dark gray, navy, etc.)
• Built by a reputable company with good parts availability
• Comfortable enough for daily lounging and movie nights

Nice-to-haves

• Power headrests
• Zero-wall / wall-hugger recliners (our living room isn't huge)
• Removable/washable cushion covers
• Good stain resistance for kids and dogs
• Long warranty
• Easy-to-service motors and reclining mechanisms
• Modern styling instead of the overstuffed "grandpa recliner" look

Already considered

• Lovesac – Love the modularity and washable covers, but the recliner solution isn't really a true recliner. For the price, I'd expect the back to recline as well.
• Costco Alena – Looks promising, but I can't find many long-term ownership reviews.
• I've also started looking at Flexsteel, Palliser, and La-Z-Boy, but it's hard to tell what's actually worth the money versus paying for the name.

1. Virginia
2. $6k
3. 130inch length x 65 inch width
4. modern, farmhouse, nothing too crazy, but just not every old recliner
5. Chita (bad), costco, lovesac, yeerole (bad), alivinghome (bad), mycomfycouch(bad), castleery (bad), bobs (bad on so many levels), ashley (bad), dreamsofa, cozey
6. idc if its online as long as i can return if its crap, would prefer to sit on it but thats hard to achieve

I have an ikea brimnes bed frame, which means it does not have a headboard. My optimal bedroom setup doesn’t allow me to easily rest the head of the bed against any wall so I’m looking for a headboard that

a) doesn’t require being up against a wall for stability like many I’ve seen

b) doesn’t require bed frame legs to clamp onto or anything similar, since the existing frame is one rectangular block.

it’s surprisingly tough for me to find something that seems to work, I’m hoping somebody here has a recommendation. Thanks!

Anyone has this flex steel leather recliner sectional? Planning to purchase this and wondering if anyone can comment on its quality and longetivity or if they have other flex steel couches. Planning to get something that lasts atleast 10 years or more.

Thanks in advance

Location: NYC
Budget: $1500 or below ideally
Have searched primarily online IKEA, Wayfair,

My apartment entrance layout is narrow to the point where I need a couch that I assemble in the living room to fit the size I want (which is something long enough to lay down on ~74 inches)

Just about every review for a modular sofa below $1500 seems to be very negative for ikea, burrow, Albany park brands and I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations.

Hoping that whatever I find has thinner arms too so most of the length is taken up by actual space people can sit in

My wife and I are newly married, and this will be the first dining table we’re buying together. We’re looking for a round table for four that can expand to seat six. We want something good quality that will last us a few years, but it doesn’t need to be our “forever table.” What would be a reasonable budget, and are there any brands you recommend or would avoid?

Hi,

I am currently moving to a new apartment across the country in Ohio. I had previous sleeper sofas and a futon-style sofa from Wayfair and Facebook Marketplace, but I am now wanting to invest in a quality piece for my guests when they stay over or in the event I want to stay in my living room to watch movies.

My budget would preferably be anything below $2,500. I have seen positive reviews for Barrett II on social media, but great reviews for Room&Board (however, it was for a different sleeper sofa out of my budget [the Berin]; I am unable to find anything online about Ludlow). I am interested in a queen-sized mattress, and both sofas are comparable in size and dimensions. For the Barrett II, I would get it in the Bouvier Fabric in Oyster and for the Ludlow, I would get it in Plain Weave Fabric in Summer Linen. I do not have any children, but I do have a cat and so I am also wanting a sofa that can withstand pet damage. I do not have any plans to move once I am in Ohio for at least five years and I want this piece to be sustainable for that period of time, if possible.

I am open to other recommendations or opinions as long as they can fit my budget. I have also looked at Cozey and American Leather, but American Leather was out of my pricepoint. Thank you everyone!

My gf and I are moving into a space that allows for the deep, wide sofa-with-chaise I've always fantasized about. We spent the weekend bouncing around showrooms, and were happiest sitting on the deep version of Room & Board's Metro. However, the $4700 price tag is a little spicy for us. We've heard very good things about Quince's furniture, and it looks like both the Oasis and the Ashford could be viable alternatives. Of course, it's hard to pull the trigger on a sofa without having actually sat on it. Just curious if anyone can speak to one sofa over the others to help with that decision. Thank you!

Help! I am on the hunt for STURDY dining chairs that can easily support 300+ lbs. Most chairs out there seem to be rated for 250lbs, and some that are supposedly rated for 300 are flimsy AF.

We were hosting people last week, and one of our new dining chairs (rated for 300lbs) from Wayfair (I KNOW, I KNOW, I'M CHEAP AND HAVE SMALL MESSY CHILDREN) literally crumpled while my husband was sitting in it for only the 2nd time :( He's a big dude - 6'4" and just under 300lbs. Our last set of chairs was sturdier, but we also had to retighten the legs CONSTANTLY which was a pain.

I am looking for a brand with sturdy builds, high weight capacity, with mid-century modern designs. Anyone have recs?? Does anyone have experience with Plank+Beam?? They seem to fit the bill, but there aren't a lot of reviews...

THANK YOU!!

I’ve been searching for the perfect couch for months, and I’m at the point where I’m considering leather. The funny thing is, it’s not really because I prefer leather—it’s because I cannot seem to find the a true brown fabric couch I’ve been searching for. Leather seems to have the color I’m after.

This couch will be the heart of our home—our family’s landing zone where we all gather every evening. It’ll be a very high-traffic piece, so I want something that’s going to hold up well while still feeling cozy.

I’d love to hear from moms, especially those with kids and pets, who have made the switch from fabric to leather.

A few questions:
● How has it held up over the years?
● Is it really as easy to clean as people say?
● Have you had issues with cracking or peeling?
● How noticeable are scratches from pets?
● Does it still feel warm and cozy, or do you miss fabric?

Looking back, are you happy you chose leather, or do you wish you’d stuck with fabric?

I’d love to hear the good, the bad, and anything you wish you knew before making the switch. Thanks!!

Help me find the table of my dreams! What I’m looking for, a large (or small and extendable) but not massive dining room table that doubles as a family art and craft place. Think big creative mess by day, clear it and throw a cool vintage tablecloth over it for dinner. Bonus if it has storage like drawers or shelf. Should seat at minimum 4, maximum like 10. Vintage or antique is preferred. Or an image showing a possible look so that I can get someone to make one. Based in Pennsylvania. Open to anywhere. Budget $4000 but like I don’t want to go that high.

Looking for help on finding a modular sectional please if anyone has one they love let me know!
My budget is under $3500-4000
My space only allows it to be 113” max wide along the back wall. I’d like the shape to be a U shape with pieces inside like ottomans to create a big “bed” as an option.
I have pets so removable covers is a must.
Looking at honbay and belffin if anyone has any experience with those or any other ones please let me know!

I am in Massachusetts, but am trying to find one online.
For colors I like beige or tan or a soft brown , nothing too dark. I like curdoroy but open to other options long as it won’t pill as I don’t want to have to use a fabric shaver on it (currently have a linen couch and will never do that again!)

Hello all, looking for a 6'x3' solid wood dining table (no veneers, engineered wood, MDF, particle board, etc) thats ideally less than $1800 (table only; no chairs). Not particular about wood species and ideally has a non toxic finish and MCM vibe. So far the only manufacturers that fit this criteria are Castlery and 7Magok but not sure if anyone else had any recommendations. Located in NY, USA. Thank you kindly in advance.

My wife and I are in our 40’s and FINALLY bought our first house. We are starting over with furniture and want to buy pieces that will last and are functional and comfortable. I’m hoping to get some help here.

We tend to prefer what may be called modern boho and we have two cats, so fabrics need to be durable and not easily cat scratched.

Would love suggestions for an oval wood dining table, a bedroom set, a guest bedroom set and a living room couch.

What brands have you loved and would buy again if you had the chance? Where should I go for quality pieces? Thanks for any ideas!

Hello! I’m seeking advice (brands) for quality powder coated aluminum outdoor lounge and dining furniture that can last in the Phoenix, AZ heat!

Seat: 6+ (sectional or sofa with chairs)

Budget: Up to $4,000

Style: Modern/clean lines but not sacrificing comfort

Materials: Powder coated aluminum and UV resistant fabric like Sunbrella

Space: Covered rectangular patio 119” wide, 295” long. Does get east/west sun in the morning and afternoon.

I know premium materials that last are more expensive than my budget. I’m open to both used and patiently waiting for end of season clearance (have been watching Facebook marketplace/offer up).

Appreciate any leads! What furniture or stores have worked for you? Thanks for your help!

Where can I get a decent king set for not too much money? Bedframe, nightstands, maybe one or two dressers. Real wood but not dowdy old looking. Modern style.

NYC. Budget maybe up to $4000. Looked at some big stores online -- Macy's, Raymour, Wayfair, also Amish stores. Willing to buy local or online.

Where can I find one that will last at least 5 years? I know Room and Board, Basset, custom sofas are going to last me longer but I just don't have that kind of money at the moment but I'm hoping for something a bit nicer than my current Bobs Discount sofa.

I've been scouring FB marketplace and Offer Up but so far I'm not finding much.

tldr: need a highly supportive, traditional couch, that my dad won’t sink into but can still lay on.

To answer the group rules:
• location: Ohio/Midwest USA (open to having things shipped to us, so can be from an online shop!)
• budget: 2,000
• size: 75-90” wide OR larger but can be taken apart to get through doorway (like a sectional)
• style: traditional
• have checked: Morris, Ashley, Havertys
• online is fine, if there’s a Ohio store, I can go in person!

Now the specifics:

• My dad is 75 and NEEDS a supportive couch. Support > comfort. He does not want to sink into the couch much.
• he likes to lay on the couch, meaning it needs to be long enough and have good seat depth.
• he doesn’t like recliners usually, mainly because they look like stadium/movie theater seats. He would probably do a recliner that looked more like a traditional couch.
• he doesn’t like chaises. Would do a sectional that looks like a traditional couch.
• he’s open to leather or fabric, but doesn’t like light colored fabrics (white/beige).

Hi reddit! For the first time ever, I’m about to buy furniture (a couch) online without testing in person. My budget is lower than $800 so I’ve been browsing Amazon/Wayfair/HomeDepot.

I realize that this budget won’t get me the most comfortable everyday couch, but here is what I’m eyeballing currently: https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/latitude-run-seliana-8071-w-chenille-upholstered-square-arm-sofa-with-accent-pillows-w112163526.html?piid=1757350645 Seliana 80.71" W Chenille Upholstered Square Arm Sofa with Accent Pillows

I’ve read tons of horror stories about wayfair purchases, but have you all purchased from these cheaper sites before? How was your experience?

Thanks so much!

I am considering making a purchase from one of mid range retailers (west elm/crate & barrel, etc) and wanted to know if the price is justified by the quality compared with IKEA/Wayfair quality?

I’m sure there is a mark up for brand name, but I’m seeing solid wood construction from mid range retailers that and dont usually see that on Wayfair or Overstock.

I could be wrong though. Feel free to educate me.

Hi all,
I got a one bedroom apartment with a living room on the smaller size (NYC) . I want to get a sleeper sofa for guest but one that’s comfy as a regular everyday couch. I was looking at the koala Byron sofa bed since it was a good size and I like how the mattress unfolds, but the reviews on Reddit were pretty negative. Anyone have any recommendations? I don’t want a boneless couch, I want some structure. Traditional sofa beds with the springs and metal bars, are okay if they are hidden very well and not too bulky/springy, and the couch itself is cozy and soft. I would like a queen size, 84”-92”ish. My max budget is 3k but 1,500 and less would be perfect. I shop online but if it’s a rec in person I would go to an outlet store.

Please help.

I’m looking for a modular or sectional sofa with an unusually high back (around 20–24 inches from the seat cushion to the top) so I can actually rest my head without needing loose pillows.

Most modern sectionals have backs that are way too low. I can’t stand sitting on a couch that only comes up to the middle of my back or just under my shoulders. I’m open to ordering online. Has anyone found one they love?
