Help finding unusually narrow linen cabinet

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a narrow linen cabinet to fit next to my bathroom vanity. The width is really my constraining factor here. I've found a decent amount of Wayfair options in the $100-200 range, but I'm looking for something higher quality and there doesn't seem to be a ton of options out there. I've searched through the typical West Elm/Pottery Barn category of websites with no luck.

Dimension:

  • Width: 14" or less
  • Depth: 20" or less
  • Height: 40-60" range but flexible

Budget: up to $1000 but flexile for the right piece

Other features: Ideally I would like it to have a door as opposed to exposed shelves, but this is not a deal-breaker. I'd also prefer free-standing, but wall-mounted is acceptable too.

Style: looking for something that would mesh well with my vanity. Going for a natural feel as opposed to overly modern or sleek.

Location: DC/Northern Virginia area, online or physical store are both ok

Thanks!

Help me find something like this sofa but in black

Hello everyone, I recently got my first place and i'm looking to get a real nice sofa in black. I love the design and the functionality offered by this sofa (attached in link) especially how there is wireless charging slots instead of the usual flat surface. i'm not so into the color options. Any one know any alternatives?

Ideas to upgrade our current couch? Very old and parts are missing

Hello everyone!

I was wondering if you guys have any ideas on how to make our couch a bit "prettier". Especially the back of it. We are moving soon and I would love for our couch to be in the middle of the room instead of prepped to a wall. But the backside isn't really pretty, neither are the sides of the couch.

I don't have a photo right now, but our couch looks something like this:

https://preview.redd.it/82r23sh1l12e1.png?width=450&format=png&auto=webp&s=483fa01869f4564659466e2a52b57eeb1e6f0f58

Except, the two armrests on the side are missing and it's pretty old. It's made out of fabric. The sides kind of look like this:

https://preview.redd.it/qlobjlbdl12e1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=a62a5ed9444716598c6c381b04c2316340f96a13

The back is pretty similar, it just looks raw I guess. The couch does open up for storage space so it wouldn't be possible to just put a full-cover on it (I think?).

Do you have any ideas for the back and possibly also the sides? :)

I know we would probably be better off buying a new couch but it holds a lot of emotional value and still works fine so we would love to take it with us to our new home.

Ashley Furniture- Should I buy something from there?

My boyfriend and I was looking at sectionals at Ashley furniture and I was considering getting one with a Black Friday sales. The current sectionals we have are breaking. Having a new chair to sit on would be nice.

Does anybody have any positive experiences with Ashley furniture? I have read horror stories on back ordering and waiting several months for each little piece to come. Then it breaking in 3 months...

Also minor complaint, I went to a physical Ashley store.... Why are they so aggressive and stalk you around the store? You say you're just looking and testing things out. Then they will follow you around every corner of the store and harass you. Literally one woman was following us around a BIG store waiting around ever corner like Edward from Twilight. I guess if you want the Bella Swan experience go there? Then another employee joined in and was stalking us trying to get the sale. We saw him before on our last visit (months ago). On that visit he kept pestering us the entire time and was trying to up sale us on any furniture we orbited around or remotely got close too. We just ended up leaving because it was uncomfortable and pressuring for both visits.

I've been doing some research and I've been considering, getting a "Tasselton" or a "Larce" sectional (idk I don't create the names). Something smaller that can seat 2 people. Has anybody had this sectional long-term? Does it break quickly or is it durable?

I got to actually try the Tasselton, but was unable to find the Larce in store. Is the Larce comfortable and not a brick wall that you sit on?

I am from Southwestern Ohio and considering ordering a sectional from Ashley Furniture during the Black Friday deals. Currrently I live in an apartment and about to move in 2 months so the backorder thing concerns me.

If you don't recommend Ashley's, are the any other furniture stores you recommend in Southwestern Ohio?

West Elm Quinten Sofa or similar

Hi guys, I need help on some sectional sofa selections. Has anybody here bought or tried the West Elm Quinten Sectional Sofa before?

I have 2 questions mainly:

  1. Does this sofa has enough support for your back? (From the imgage, it looks like there is, but just wanted to confirm)
  2. Do the cushions noticeably 'cave in' after like let's say 1 year of use?

Also, please feel free to recommend any sofa that is similar in price, size, and style

Thank you all!

Link to the West Elm sofa: https://www.westelm.com/products/quinten-3-piece-chaise-sectional-h12946/?catalogId=71&sku=2471968&cm_ven=PLA&cm_cat=Google&cm_pla=Furniture%20%3E%20Sectionals&cm_ite=2471968_14464751978_aud-2185679317900%3Apla-874217356287&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAABjYLmk1xN14fVTjUxi5VrETmRQq-&gclid=CjwKCAiArva5BhBiEiwA-oTnXWcuLJgiHhAjX70ddFeo36S6L5FdXw13e63t4ad4-9-LQnvPbNv87BoCKpcQAvD_BwE

Mamasan Chair

I want a Mamasan Chair that can move/rock. Similar to the motion of a hammock. Is this already a thing? Can I find it? Or is it something I would have to DIY?

Target “online only” furniture

Does anyone have experience ordering furniture from Target that they don’t necessarily sell in stores? Particularly their dining sets. I’m moving into my first house and noticed they have a lot of good deals on dining sets (i basically have no furniture right now lol) but I’ve never ordered anything like that from Target before, and I assume most, if not all, of it is from third party companies. Are these places legit? Is this furniture worth the price? Most of the stuff I’m finding has little to no reviews (is that a red flag?). Are there cheaper places to get furniture that’s decent and lasts a long time?

Help With Modular Couch

Hi everyone,

My wife, newborn and I are in desperate need of finding a couch. It seems every couch we run into ends up having bad reviews on reddit or somewhere else online. We understand that may be the case with a lot of brands, but some of them are overwhelmingly bad. We are looking for a modular couch, we do have a dog so scratch resistant and removable covers is a must!

Our budget is up to 8 or 9 grand, so we feel like we have quite a bit to spend.

I've heard that getting a 2-2.5 density foam would be important for quality. Does anyone have some good recommendations? Good brands? Any insight would be really helpful!!

Ashley Furniture Sophie vs Gaucho

Anyone have the Ashley furniture Sophie couch? Really liking the cocoa color. If so, how does it hold up with pets/kids and do the cushions slide off easy? (pet peeve of mine) Also considering the gaucho if you have anything to say about that one. Thanks!

Looking for a 60" wide sofa bed or futon

I'm looking for a 60'' wide sofa bed or futon. I like the looks of these but don't know whether there is anything like them in the US:

https://www.futoncompany.co.uk/shop-by-product/sofa-beds/size/two-seater/loop-2-seater-solid-birch-double-sofa-bed.html

I guess they'd only be as comfortable as the futon you put on top of them. I like the simple design.

This company sells a futon sofa that's 57" across and folds into a full but it needs separate ottoman to make a full bed and the ottoman is NOT attached to the main frame (just scroll down to see what it looks like). :

https://www.thefutonshop.com/futon-frames/full-size-futon-loveseats?srsltid=AfmBOooWg6S5zIZ1uYzLxOYcrRTlD_QmhnsftQZ9177S3r1kYQzpBNiz

I'd worry about that sliding around every time you got out of bed. Generally looks like a quality product. Has anyone ever used one of them? How did it work out?

And is there a US equivalent of the first example (from the Futon Company in the UK). Thanks!

Roseland USA bed frame - worth it?

Been looking for a new bed frame for my husband and I. We really want to invest in something sturdy that will not only last a long time, but also won’t squeak or move easily throughout the night.

We were originally looking at Thuma, which is still an option. However, roseland USA platform bed frame came on our radar and being that it’s comparable in price we are also considering this option. The only reviews I can find are on the roseland website. Wondering if anyone here has purchased the roseland bed and if it’s held up for them/is as sturdy as the thuma.

Thanks!

Joybird Bryant sofa?

I am looking for a “cloud couch” and keep going back to the Joybird Bryant. I have an outdoor sofa from them and really love it, I got it a few months ago and it’s been great. I am curious what folks think of the Bryant and how it holds up? Is it as comfortable as it seems? I sat on one in the show room briefly and thought it was but am curious how it feels over time.

I expect normal wear and tear, and have a small dog who likes to snuggle up on the couch. She sheds so I am used to regularly vacuuming my couch and I have one of those little green machine cleaners that I used to do a deep clean quarterly, but I am not looking to do more than that.

Great price but bad terms, or high price but great terms?

Buying a new sofa, and I have two options to choose from. This is the EXACT same product. What would you go with?

Option A:

  • 50% Off (about $1,000)

  • Need to wait 3 months for delivery (which is another $100)

  • Item is custom made, so I get to choose from about 80 different fabrics, as well as set options such as custom legs and firmness.

  • No returns. Exchanges only if it's damaged (allegedly as it's made-to-order). If an exchange is needed, it's another 3 months until another item is custom-made.

Option B:

  • Full price (about $2,000)

  • Available for delivery and will arrive within 1-2 weeks (still going to cost $100)

  • Fabric choices are limited to what's in stock (3 common colors)

  • I can cancel for any reason up to 30 days after receiving. They'll pick it up but deduct $100 from the refund.

Basically, if I wait, I get a pretty cool customized sofa. The price point is fantastic. But comes with a catch - I'm stuck with it the moment I order.

Finding a buildable couch for 29“ doorways

Long story short, but I’m in an apartment that has 29“ door frames and a really narrow entrance that twists so getting a couch in has been a difficult task to tackle. I’m open to buildable couches but would like some decent recommendations. Max I wanna spend is $1000. IKEA couches are tempting but the reviews are so polarizing that it’s tough to tell if they are bad or not. Maximum width would be about 80”

Thanks in advance :) this has been a really tough challenge

How to make boney couch comfy

I bought one of those faux leather couches bc it was cheap, long, and looked nice. However it has no seating cushion and I can feel the frame as well as springs. I was thinking of putting a mattress topper on it but it’s there any better solution ?

Any good portable love seats or couches that are inexpensive?

Don’t really care too too much about quality. Just something halfway comfortable

Moving 1800 miles, but only for a year. Moving into an unfurnished apartment and wondering if there’s an easily portable love seat that would be better than my folding chair idea

When I say portable, I’m thinking something that maybe can fold and fit well into a 6x12 trailer along with my motorcycle and stuff. If not, then something cheap enough that it won’t hurt too much to throw it away after a year

Crate & Barrel Axis or Room & Board York?

We’ve been living with a mostly broken Raymour & Flanigan sectional for the past six years. The chenille fabric fell apart almost right away, and after spending way too much on replacement covers that did the same thing, we gave up and just threw blankets and sheets over it.

We’ve been looking for new furniture for a few months and have narrowed it down to Crate & Barrel or Room & Board. We want a longer 3-seat sofa (~90") and an oversized chair with an ottoman.

We checked out Crate & Barrel over the weekend and really liked the Axis and Lounge collections, but we’re a little worried about how well they’ll hold up, especially for the price. Room & Board seems to get great reviews, but the closest store is over two hours away, so it’s unlikely we’ll get to see their stuff in person. We do have two 60-lb dogs who are allowed on the furniture so washability and performance fabric is a must have.

Just reaching out for some external opinions - if it were your decision and your house, what would you do?

https://www.godbyhomefurnishings.com/item/rigby-reclining-sectional-sofa/844952437

Would like to buy a similar sectional in a brown color, microfiber, reclining end seats, and extra deep seats. I refuse to give la-z-boy my money after dealing with a previous issue with them. Any other places anyone has seen?

L shape pull out Sofa Bed around $1000

I'm on the hunt for a new L-shaped sofa bed that's both stylish and functional. I'm looking for something around $1000 that's durable and has a simple fabric design.

I've been considering these two options:

Costco Coddie Aria Sofa

IKEA FRIHETEN

Does anyone have experience with these or other similar options? I'm particularly interested in feedback on:

Comfort (both as a sofa and a bed)

Durability of the frame and fabric

Ease of assembly

Overall value for money

Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Experience with Article Timber frame?

I am really interested in the Article Timber Sectional. A lot of the reviews seem to point out that the fabric is not very long lasting, and the cushions aren’t either.

Those aren’t big concerns for me because I plan on replacing them eventually anyway, and covering the fabric with slip covers.

My real question though is how does the frame hold up? I know it isn’t an expensive wood but has anyone had any real issues with the frame?

Good Midcentury style sectionals?

We have been looking at the Article Timber and really love its looks, but the reviews are horrific. Right now we think we would still maybe take a flyer on it, and replace the cushions with better quality upholstery foam and slipcovers for now.

But we were wondering if anyone also had good experiences with other Midcentury style sofas/sectionals from other brands?

Coffee to Dining Table: legs?

Hello,

Curious if anyone has come across a good set of adjustable legs (motorized, struts, or manual) for converting a coffee table into a dining area table.

A made a dining table out of a bowling alley lane and have left over material. I plan to use the rest of the lane to make a coffee table for my deck - but I would like it to convert into a dining table as well…any good leads?
