Can you check on "Consumer Reports". My husband likes to check things out there. It rates on different things. I'd have to set in the chair/couch to see how I fit into the item, with the back I have. See where your legs hit too!! That important. If seat is too sinky you have to fight your way out of it. I don't care for that kind. I'd go with Lazy Boy too. My mom got a great couch there once. Nothing lasts forever anyway.

I will never again buy leather furniture. It looks pretty but it is hot and it quickly looks old and worn.Our next furniture will be upholstered in a nice fabric.

Thanks Ladies!

I posted another response but it's MIA - perhaps I foprgot to pop the SUBMIT button!

We decided on a sofa & chair from Four Seasons. They do a lot of slip covered fabric which does intrigue me, but am going with upholstered pieces in a neutral, nubbyish (!) fabric. The reviews of the company seem to be very good & the brand & style checks all of our boxes.

I appreciate your comments, especially about LB - but in reality, I guess there are lemons w/i every company!

Thanks again!

Hello!
Well, after 25 yers of abuse, our Bassett sofa is about to hit the road. I'm looking for a comfy upholstered new 1 & am so confused about the various company reviews.
Has anyone purchased a sofa lately who'd like to share their views?

Looking for something 85 -90" in length, a fabric that can hold up to a 40 lb. pup, & a neutral color. I found the "Brewster" in Bassett, but I'm just not in love with their lack of fabric options these days.

Sure would love to hear from you!
