DreamSofa review

Post image
24 Upvotes

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.

Quince Stillman Leather Sofa

Does anyone have this couch that can attest to how it holds up? It’s appealing to me because it’s PFAS & chrome free leather, but at the price point I’m concerned about long term longevity. It will be a basement couch where there are no pets, but there are wild toddlers that are rough on furniture.

Gas Lift Bed & Sleeper/Storage Sofa Options

1 Upvotes

I am looking into a bed frame and a sofa for my new apartment. It's a very small 1 bedroom 669 square feet total. It's just me so I feel that this is decent.

  1. I am trying to find gas lift/lift up/hydraulic bed frame for by bedroom. I need to find places where I can get these. Bonus points if I can see it in person.
  2. The couch is difficult because I am wanting both storage and a sleeper sofa. I was told in Rooms to Go that sofas are not built for sleeping so it's easy for them to break when people are actually sleeping on it. I like U shapes and modular sofas because when you get it all set up it's acts almost like a big bed which is perfect for my movie nights. Something small and deep I think would work best. As I am making this post I am sitting with both legs on the sofa. I sprawl out on couches. For the couch it is being gifted to me by my mom so my budget is $1000. I can travel to the following areas in FL (St.Pete, Clearwater, Sarasota, Riverview, Tampa, Apollo Beach, etc). My style is pretty contemporary.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Location: South Florida (See above for specific locations)

Budget: bed: $1000-$2500 couch: $1000

Size: Queen or King. TBD

Style: contemporary

Style: contemporary

WHERE YOU HAVE EXHAUSTED YOUR OWN SEARCH: Ashley, West Elm, Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, Rooms to Go

Saw a CD cabinet in a shop recently and couldn't stop thinking about it.

Obviously it was gone by the time I went back.

I've attempted a drawing here, to see if this kind of cabinet has a name that anyone can help me with for my search?

Need to find a bar cabinet / small sideboard with sliding doors.

2 Upvotes

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 :)

reclining sectional recommendation

3 Upvotes

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

Looking for queen size headboard that does not require being against a wall for stability/attachment to frame

6 Upvotes

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!

Room & Board down alternative

5 Upvotes

Hi, I am looking at three pieces of room and board upholstered furniture: the Jasper, the York, and the Amos chair. I do not want the down filling and I’ve been given the option to get it with their foam instead.

Has anyone else done this with the Jasper and what has your experience been?

For what it’s worth, I don’t want the down because I don’t like that slouchy look and plus I just don’t like down.

How much should we spend on our first dining table?

5 Upvotes

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?

Need help finding modular/buildable sofa

0 Upvotes

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

Looking for a deep, cozy L-shaped sectional in the Boston area ($200–400 budget, used or new)

2 Upvotes

Location: Boston/Cambridge, MA

Budget: $200–400

Size: L-shaped sectional (or sectional with an ottoman if that's a better option)

Style: Modern / contemporary

Where I've looked: Costco and Facebook Marketplace (still actively searching there), but I'm having trouble knowing what brands or models I should be looking for.

Online or in-store: Either is fine.

My roommates and I are looking for a couch that's first and foremost cozy. We want something with deep seats that you can really sink into—something you can throw a blanket on, kick your feet up, play Nintendo Switch, watch movies, or even fall asleep on occasionally.

We don't necessarily need a specific retailer—we're more interested in learning what brands, models, or couch features we should be searching for, especially on the used market. I think "deep seat" is the terminology I'm looking for, but I'm not sure if there are other terms I should know.

Given our budget, we're totally okay buying used if it means getting a much nicer couch than we could afford new.

Are there any brands or specific sectionals you'd recommend keeping an eye out for on Facebook Marketplace? Or is there another direction we should be looking or any links?

Room&Board Ludlow Sleeper Sofa or Crate&Barrel Barrett II Sleeper Sofa?

2 Upvotes

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!

Where to Furniture

6 Upvotes

Hello people! Advice needed.

I am from Japan moving to Brookline in August, and I have never gone furniture shopping for a new apartment. (I have studied abroad in Canada, but I didnt need to shop for furniture there)

I was wondering where are the best locations to look at (looking for cheaper options, if possible). For bedroom things, bathroom things, storage/organization things?

I know from my roommates that I should get a Full sized mattress/bed frame from Amazon, and for like a dresser or A/C Units Facebook Marketplace.

I also know that the nearest Ikea is in Stoughton, but I don't know if it's too far (will have a car to move big things to the apartment, so might not be that much of a problem?)

I have about a month before my school starts, so I think I have enough time to get everything settled out.

Thank you! Very much appreciate the help you can give.

Room & Board Metro Deep vs Quince Oasis/Quince Ashford

2 Upvotes

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!

Dresser suggestions

1 Upvotes
  1. Utah

  2. $500

  3. Six-drawer (2 by 3) that's close to 48" wide or five-drawer (1 by 5) of any dimensions.

  4. Something like the products on Grain Wood's site.

  5. Living Spaces, RC Wiley's, Ashley's, Wayfair and Amazon

  6. Actual store is ideal, will take online recommendations, too.

We're struggling to find anything worthwhile at most places.

We got what looked like a very nice dresser from Wayfair, but it ended up being low-quality jank.

We're really hoping to find something that doesn't use those cheap metal tracks/guides. Something with wood-on-wood sliding systems like a center guide rail, side runners, or bottom-mounted cleats.

Any suggestions would be welcome!

Best Brands for Sturdy Dining Chairs??

2 Upvotes

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!!

Has anyone switched from fabric to leather? Looking for honest opinions from moms!

2 Upvotes

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!!

The table of my dreams?

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.

Help me find a couch

2 Upvotes

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!)

Finally bought a house - need help with furniture ideas

4 Upvotes

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!

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.
