I wanted to make a little “me space” down in my unfinished basement. I wasn’t looking for something crazy expensive but I did want it to be comfortable ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxitRzxya-XugamYgLwa_2G1gxPg4MCJHa as I planned on using it to escape reality and have an inviting place to go when I need “me time”. It came very quickly and it took me maybe 30 minutes to put it all together by myself. I will say, the boxes it comes in are awkward shaped and LARGE. So I did have to have help getting it inside. But it is SO comfy. It’s a little on the firm side but I prefer that. The back is not that attractive but I cover it with a blanket. All in all, I would 10/10 recommend it to anyone.
Wow, thanks for doing this leg work! It really helps to see you trying out the actual sofa after seeing it online.
A new subscriber! Well done! Love how you compare the online pictures with the real ones in the stores.
Nobody ever talks about a hardwood frame, dowells, screws, real springs, or the things which make a sofa last a really long time. I have found that many of the big name furniture stores have big name and prices, but often lack in quality. We put a lot of emphasis on looks and little on everything else
seriously, I am so over mass produced furniture because of this. I feel like my furniture falls apart as soon as it hits my door! fabrics, cushions and frames just dont last as well as the used to
Seriously CB2 has 3k engineered wood sofas it’s insane
Where do you recommend?
@@imdinma9826 hi! Can you possibly let me know if someone answers you. I’m so mixed up which to buy. And the Ashley, I pressed on the top part and felt the wood!! Walked out. I’ll spend more but I have to know I will have it for 10 years! My last sofa was made buy a tiny company in Montréal. After 30 years… it was still like brand new. Took it with me when I had to leave my home town, my city that I miss so much but I need another sofa as now I have a den and living room. Thanking you in advance.
Seriously! I bought the leather West Elm Hamilton and it fell apart on me. I'm tall and weigh 180 pounds, and the cushions developed this huge sink hole where I sat. What happened to amazing furniture that was long lasting? Gone with the 90s I guess.
That was actually super helpful! Thanks for doing this video. Have been looking for a modern sectional with an angled wedge and noticed the Axis II had that. Thanks so much!
No problem 🙂 the Axis was very comfortable too. We actually looked at that one a few times
Thanks for sharing enjoyed every moment! The cloud ☁️ !!!
2 mins in and I'm invested. This is great. Thanks!
Yesss I love the look of the harmony sofa. Ive had my eye on it for over a month now. Glad you mentioned not too go with that deco weave, which is what I was leaning toward. But...i have a dog and dont want my expensive sofa to be ruined so...thanks for mentioning that!
So helpful! Thanks for this review
Thanks for doing this video. Very helpful! I love the quality and fabrication of the cloud but the harmony is my favorite!
Mine too 😍
Thank you JessicaJ this video was very helpful.
So glad you found it helpful ❤️
Very helpful video! Thank you!
The Harmony! My husband and I plan on getting it for our entertainment room. It was comfy and fit our modern/contemporary style.
Yes! That sofa is EVERYTHING
Thank you for the information! We are currently looking for a new sofa. We had a lazy boy for about 15 years. Great quality. Not a reclining sofa. And the cushions held up until probably about five years ago. For me not only the quality of how it’s made but the cushions are to me one of the biggest factors and what type of couch I will purchase. I want a 2.0 to 2.5 density quality memory foam cushion- We may go with another La-Z-Boy but they are quite expensive if I could find something in a cheaper price range with a high quality cushion definitely would go that route
So many good sofas omg 😱 love all the tips !
It was definitely hard to pick one 😆
Take note that those "stain resistant" coatings contain PFAS which are also known as "forever chemicals", meaning that they do not break down and are emitted from the fabrics over time and accumulate in your body and in the home. They have been shown to have numerous negative health effects and are also terrible for the environment.
Very true. Sadly I don’t think we can escape toxic materials entirely, however not all performance fabrics are created equally. For example, Crypton claims their products contain “no heavy metals, toxic chemicals, or carcinogens.”
Oh my goodness THANK YOU
I’m looking into the west elm harmony among other sofas by west elm… thank you for your reviews!! 🎉
Great video! I’m leaning toward the ModLoft Spruce sectional but I need to read more reviews
Thanks Jessica, Great video!!!!
Thank you!
In the SoFloHome channel found in UA-cam you can find a segment where they talk about a company in palm beach that makes custom furniture. They talk about what to look for and the different options out there. Very educational.
You did an awesome job testing these sofas. I could never purchase a sofa online without going in the store and trying it out in person. I need to know how high it sits, how firm it is (I don't like sinking into a sofa), the sturdiness, etc. I need to sit on it, recline, get a feel of the arm rests, the works... overall quality.
I’m so grateful for this video. I’ve been trying to find places that allow you to customize your couch. I have dogs and the performance fabric seems perfect
So glad you found the video helpful ❤️
Excellent video!😎
Thanks for the great tips!
Wow this could not have been more spot on! I was contemplating 3 of these sofas. I’ve had a cloud knock off before similar to CB2 but don’t remember the actual brand. I will say it flattened out over time and feathers came out like CRAZY
Excellent video! I’m getting the harmony sofa extra deep!😍
Thanks! And congrats on your new sofa! Extra deep sounds extra cozy 😍
@@JessicaJ_ That’s the goal!😉 Your video helped seal the deal so thanks again!
Great video! Subscribed!
Thank you so much for doing this video.I am building a cottage for myself-my first ever, "just for me" house.The Ever sofa was right behind you in Crate and Barrel and I was holding my breath that you would sit in it because that is the one I have been drooling over.I got a fabric sample of it, and BEET JUICE came out of the white performance fabric! And, it is machine washable, although it is very slouchy and messy-looking, so not for everyone..I am 5"2, so thanks for mentioning your height.
Building a cottage sounds exciting! Congrats! So sorry I didn’t test that one out but I can totally see it in a cottage 😍 And performance fabric is the way to go
Thank you a million for this review! I'm still crying over the stitch sofa from CB2. I really wanted to get it.
I really wanted that one too 😢
I have been contemplating all of these exact sofas! Amazing video. So helpful. Thank you!
Subscribed even before she finished her 1st sentence. I am glad i came across your channel
Hi Jessica, I just stumbled upon your channel!! I am going to subscribe as soon as I finish my comment. Surprisingly, I was just in West Elm and fell in love with the Harmony Modular! This store had the oyster color on display!! OMG!! My only concern was whether over time the sofa would start to sit too low to the floor. I don’t like sofas that sit like that! Bad for my back. Really glad to find your channel because when in the store the associate didn’t mention that the sofa could be configured to sit a little higher off the floor! I live in a fairly decent size apartment...the living room dining area are combined so I was happy about being able to use this sofa whether in a larger or smaller space. I’m going to go see it again and make a decision. Appreciate your review and your honesty. Have an awesome weekend.
I’m so glad you found the video helpful love and good luck on finding a sofa that works for you and your space
I’ll check out the last one from Ashley. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Yes! Go ahead and test it out. It seems to be an affordable favorite
Great suggestions, thanks for posting. Can anyone explain why Axis is better for a family room but Lotus and Harmony are OK for a living room?
Love the details in this video, thank you for this, but what I am really curious about is the wooden cabinet shown behind you in this video? It is beautiful, where would I find this piece?
The west elm one looks pretty and comfy!
Thank you Jessica! Seriously, I am looking at purchasing the Harmony Sofa from West Elm. I've hesitated because most everything is special order, making the wait time several months - ugh. And, if I am not happy with the sofa, I cannot return it. I think that I'll take the plunge and get the Harmony :) Thanks again!
I looked at a lot of sofas and they all have crazy wait times 😩 but before you know it you’ll have your sofa. Just make sure you’re able to return the sofa before you purchase it. Good luck!
The Last one, the Ashley... didn't sound like much compromise for saving. Going to check it out tomorrow.
Sofa is nice and thanks for the tips
Amazing!!! 👏
Great video! Im looking into a mod sofa, the PLUSH, by American Signature. Its a more affordable one with many fabric options, and 2 types of filling...feather and core. Id like your opinion on this one.😊
Great video!❤️ My current couch is from Ashley’s and it is one of the best budget friendly couches I’ve ever purchased. My rule of thumb is I will never sacrifice comfort for what’s considered name brand. There are a ton of dupes that are just as affordable and comfortable for a fraction of what you pay at more high end stores.
Absolutely! ❤️
That’s what I was looking for… a more affordable dupe to the cloud couch. I just purchased my 1st home and one of those couches would clear my account. 😳
@@nittavanitta9046 Congratulations on your house. I'm waiting on my couch to be delivered. I can't wait.
Which one did you end up
Buying? I’m on a hunt for a good family room couch
But the construction is better at the high end stores. That shorts cpu h may last you 2 years before you start to see wear & tear. The luxury couches will last you far longer.
That’s a beautiful and modern sofa! Great for a large living room💜
Would love to see reviews for sofas that are taller- people- friendly, i.e. sofa where you don't have to strenuously engage the hamstrings or biceps to propel yourself off the sofa.
Too, as a senior, this is a bit taxing. Love your style and assessments.
Thanks.
Thanks for that suggestion. I’m taller also. Bought a tiny west elm sofa for my living room before I realized how small they were. Gonna used it in my bedroom as a lounge chaise instead. Lovesac sofa for the living room coming soon!🙌🏼
Same
Ikr I hate the tiny sofas and I'm short it didn't look comfortable only pretty
This is such a good video! It took me weeks to decide on which sofa to get. I wish this was out when I bought my white sofa. I ended up getting a Belgian Track sofa from RH outlet. I love it so much. Easy to clean and comfortable. I personally don’t like the Cloud. It’s too slouchy and doesn’t age well.
DrGoldieMD is RH outlet different in pricing oppose to RH retail store. Just curious.
@@appleb2667 the outlet is way cheaper. The downside is that the outlet doesn’t have as much of a selection. If you find a piece you like, you have to wait for it to eventually make its way to the outlet.
@@DrGoldieMD Thank-you! I drove up to the outlet where I live today. The prices are still somewhat steep but definitely not the gallery prices. Thanks for your help! 😊
How is your RH sofa holding up? I have seen some terrible reviews and now questioning my choice!
@@trishherrmann390 it’s been holding up well. It’s not heavily used though. I have to fluff it from time to time. I also use the Biselle green monster to clean it and it works really well. So far I’m very happy with it.
Wish you had a Value City near you and had included the Plush sofa I saw someone with on YT ...it doesn't look like they do performance fabric is the only con...also looking at Zgallerie Stella Sofa
Thank you! I was actually considering the West Elm Harmony, so I found this review very helpful. The only problem is deciding between just the sofa with ottoman or sectional with chaise, as well as the fabric. I love the luxe boucle, but it's not a performance option. I will go back to the store and check out the sunbrella performance slub tweed in white.
It took me forever to finally make a decision on the configuration and fabric 😅. Take your time and you’ll pick the right one
Google West Elm delivery before you buy. You’re welcome
Could you have a look at the
Baltimore White Corner Sofa please.
I'm wanting to buy but, still a little unsure. Please help ❤
Could you please review west elm dalton sectional sofa? Thank you!
Hi from Orlando Florida 🙋♀️
I enjoyed watching your video, thank you for your honesty. I ordered the Tanavi sofa and loveseat from Ashley's furniture back in May, still waiting for it. It is very comfortable however, I have a dog and would like to know your opinion on the couch. Thanks
HI! I thought the couch was really comfy...I would definitely keep Folex on hand, and if you let your dog on the couch I would put a throw blanket down to help protect your new couch :)
Hi from MS! I just ordered the Tanavi today. Wow at the backorder. Hoping you get yours soon.
This video is clearly out of my price range. I went with the Ikea Hyltarp instead. Solid wood frame, real springs and washable cover consisting of mostly cotton+viscose. Pretty happy with it
The video is giving what it’s supposed to gave!
🤣🤣🤣 I love it! Thank you 🥰
I would love your take of PB
I think I’m the only person who DOESN’T like the Cloud Sofa. Too sloppy for me. A big no for me
I don't like it either, too boxy, bulky, etc.
Me either but I must say the leather is nice 👍
My daughter hates it too…it’s funny because she said it was too sloppy too
Great video thank you! Also fab heels. Where are they from?
Thank you! They’re actually from Target. I needed them last minute for an event and they’re actually really comfortable and GOOD!
Hi, does anyone know what is the closest fabric to Langford Upholstered Bed light Grayish brown ?? I want to match a sectional with it :) thank you
What color is the middle linen fabric material for the westelm harmony couch? I am looking into either the performance linen or performance basketweave alabaster. I can't make up my mind with so many fabric options and colors :(
It took me 3-4 weeks to finally decide on a fabric 🤣 I went with the Stone white canvas performance fabric
Thanks! Still looking for a comfy and more shaped sofa. Cloud is.too messy and informal for me. Any suggestions on more straight and shaped set? This makes your home look messy for my tate.
The cozy cloud like sofas are in so you’re going to see it a lot. The axis from Crate & Barrel is a more tailored sofa. All the stores I mentioned also have tailored sofas. I hope that helps
Thank you for this amazing video!! Which fabrics were you looking at at West Elm? I have places an order for a Harmony sofa and wish I had seen this video before I did - it would have helped me make a decision quicker 😂
I looked at the washed canvas and yarn dyed linen weave in stone white. The grayish one is coastal linen.
I took forever making a decision too 🤣
Thank you for this video! Very informative. I’m on a mission looking for a good quality comfortable sofa and I stumbled on the harmony west elm; however I hear the shipping is outrageous… shipping is over two months wait time .., I’ve been patiently searching but don’t think I can sit on blow up bed any longer! Hmmm
Wait times are crazy everywhere 😭 look into the Marin at West Elm. It’s a smaller sectional and I believe there’s no wait depending on the fabric you choose. I would also check out the outlets if you have any near you.
I already have the Lumin from Cb2 (white) and the axis from C&B and love them!!!
The Lumin is gorgeous the the white fabric. Good to know it’s working out for you.
I have the cloud and I love it.
I sit on it every time I go in an RH 🤣
Have you checked out any sofas from EQ3?
Work well
I wish you would have done Pottery Barn, that’s what I’ve been looking at.
They have nice sofas as well. Hopefully some of the things I mentioned in the video are helpful so you know what to look for in a sofa. Depth, height, fabric and reviews are definitely essential. Good luck ❤️
The best sectional to me close to being a cloud sofa will be Crate & Barrel maybe a 4-Piece sectional with that protective material off-white
I have to give a second opinion sorry. Maybe I'm tied between two sofas the one that West Elm off-white off-white look-alike cloud
@@yvonneevans7784 they’re both really good! If you get the chance to see them in person you should check them both out
Where did you find that beautiful sideboard/console behind you? 😍
Loved this video. I'm looking to get a new couch as well and this was super helpful. Which one was your favorite overall?
I’m so glad you found it helpful. My favorite is the West Elm Harmony sofa/sectional. It’s really comfy, modern and stylish. The cost for a performance fabric is also reasonable. My second favorite is the Lotus, I just wished the back cushions were a little higher...oh and the price for a performance fabric is a bit much
You are a lifesaver
So glad that I could help
I am going to buy the harmony, but I have two medium size dogs, I am thinking of the CINDER leather, its darker but very worried about 'pills' or wearing on a lighter performance fabric. Does anyone have the Cinder in a space that you can share a pic?
Hi, can you pls do a review on the Camden from CB2
It’s pretty comfortable and very deep. Check out my friend Brenda Michelle here on UA-cam. She has the Camden and has great things to say about it
@@JessicaJ_ thank you for responding back..hehe yes Brenda has responded to me 2 days ago with her review. I am going back and forth on whether I should get it or not
Esperanza Spalding in the background
How long have you had the sofa and how is it holding up. Does it sit low? I'm kind of on the taller side so I need one that sits higher but love the look of this style sofa
I won’t get my sectional until July/August but the Harmony has the option to add taller legs if you need the sofa to sit up higher
@@JessicaJ_ Thank you
I agree with another viewer, need a review of furniture, mainly sofas based on height for tall people. I am 5'10 and getting in and out of low to ground sofas are cumbersome 😁 great job on this review! 🌺
Shoootttt, I'm 5'2 and I have a hard time. 🤣🤣🤣 Not a fan of low sofas.
@@427skies right?!😁
@@shylo5698 Maybe they feel it is for kids?? 🤣🤣
@@427skies I can just see the test room, bunch Of 6 year olds running around sitting on couches dangling their feet or touching the ground with them who knows lol for touching the ground with M who knows lol
@@shylo5698 "Yep, should be good for full grown adults". 🤣🤣 But babbyyyy the way my knees are set up....lol.
Ashley furniture it is!!
The cloud hands down
Not sure if American Signature is all over (it’s also called Value City Furniture in the North East) but they have 3 cloud sofa dupes one is called the Cordelle sectional ($3300) the Cozy 5 pc sectional ( $3200) the Cozy 3 pc sofa ($1800) and the Plush 5 pc ($3700) 6 pc( $3600) the 4pc($3000) I would advise anyone to look on line at them then go to the actual store and sit on them because I went to the store first and only liked one but didn’t think to get the name of it, I looked it up online and they all look the same now I have to go back and sit on them again and find out which one I liked
Thanks this was really helpful. I've been eyeing the Dresden Modular Sectional for a few weeks now. I wanted to love it, but with only being able to view online it's challenging to get a real feel for it. I love the way they combined style and comfort, however with a household of 6ft plus people, I think it may be too low and not deep enough. Canada is just a bit far to travel from California to see a couch in person. The search continues!
Yeah it’s very challenging when you can’t actually see and feel the product in person. I hope you find something perfect for you and your family
Does anyone have a sectional from Four Seasons? I cannot find many reviews online. 😫
I ordered the Harmony Slope Arm from West Elm in Performance White. I hope it doesn’t disappoint.
Keep me updated when you get yours. I won’t get mine until July/August 🥲
@@JessicaJ_ Mine isn't estimated to arrive until the middle of July. I will let you know!
Since your sofa will deliver in July when do they charge your card , at the time of order or when it ships in July?
@@AlNisa21 good question. I placed my order last week and they still haven’t charged me so I’m thinking when it ships, but I’m not 100% sure.
@@AlNisa21 Since the order is Special order and you can’t cancel your order I believe they charge at time of purchase. When I ordered I applied for the West Elm credit card with no interest for 12 months, the email I received had the cost of the sofa added.
waiting for my Harmony Sleeper Sofa to be delivered! Loved the video!
How exciting!!! 😆
I ordered mine January 7th and still waiting. You may want to Google the West Elm horror stories. They have their own IG page full of complaints. Worst company ever.
@@bossnutz wow I’m so sorry you’re not having a good experience, however it’s not just West Elm. Remember the entire world shut down for months, so a lot of these companies are struggling to catch up.
@@bossnutz I ordered my Harmony at the end of March and received it almost 2 months ahead of schedule...I also ordered another item that came ahead of schedule too. My experience has always been positive at West Elm, so it’s disappointing to hear you’re not having the same experience ☹️
@@JessicaJ_ Ashleys Home Store and Rooms 2 Go both delivered on time for me. There is a reason (West Elm does not allow reviews on their website). I own Airbnb’s and furnish them with various furniture. West Elm takes the cake when it comes to terrible custom build times. Material is great and delivery is on time if it’s not a custom build. Thanks for your reviews.
Oh, Jessica, you just touched the surface for decisions. What blend of down/feathers ? What high performance qualities are for you with fabric selection. You do a disservice by recommending without mentioning another valued option...an Interior Designer.
Do you have any experience with the Pottery Barn Dream sofa?? Would love to hear your thoughts
No, but I plan on checking their selection of sofas out soon 😉
Hello. I wanted to know what’s your thoughts on rove concepts couches. There’s a couch I want in the beautiful bright blue, but I haven’t seen any reviews on it or the company and the price of the couch is a lot lol
Their pieces look nice but I’ve never ordered anything from them. Look into their return policy and check out their Instagram comments
Hi where are your bunny tail plants from behind you? So pretty!
Thanks! It’s faux pampas from CB2 and it’s always on sale. They also have real bunny tails
How about the Plush Modular from Crate and Barrel? Is that good?
I don't remember seeing that one on display but it looks really comfy :)
After doing some research I bought my harmony west elm sofa in February . I only can say that is the most comfortable , modern and beautiful .
I tried out so many sofas and the Harmony is definitely a winner
The cushions look kind of thin...what is it stuffed with and is it still plush feeling?
@@hilarydoddridge1 it still felt plush. The sofa that was the most plush was the Lotus. Hope that helps
@@JessicaJ_ OK, thank you! Have you ever looked at the Joybird Denna Sectional?
What is the name of the fabric that does not have any treatment?
I’m in the market for a leather sleeper sectional, so none of them. But I enjoyed the video.
Check out Monarch Sofas on ig. They make custom sofas/sectionals at reasonable prices...I believe West elm makes a leather sleeper sectional too. I hope you find exactly what you’re looking for
Have you heard of Home threads? They have a cloud dupe.
I just saw their dupe - looks great but the color selection is small - green, blue, and dark gray… do you know if they have any other colors
Thanks for going to the store. It’s hard to visualize the couch otherwise
Value city has a nice dupe as well
Yes, Kiva has that one and she loves it 🙌🏽
What's the VCF model?
Please review the Turn 4 piece sectional at CB2. im a new subscriber and have just moved in to a new apartment. i need your help to see if it is worth it!!! plzz
I’ll have to check that one out next time I go in...it currently has one review and they seem to be a happy customer
Our $2200 West Elm sofa is creaking and making all kinds of noise after a few months. Apparently Havertys offer a hardwood or possibly metal frame but the fabrics are not as good or protective as Pottery Barn, RH etc
I’m in NC but so many brands have 20-30 week lead times….still!
Any suggestions?
Reach out to West Elm. I believe you have a year warranty through them. Living Spaces offers performance fabric options. I’m not sure how good they are but you can order swatches and their wait times are not to bad.
So what type of fabric does not pill? I bought a couch set from Ashley’s and it pills so horribly I can’t keep up with it. It looks so dingy now and is so uncomfortable on the skin. It was so beautiful and soft at first but now I’m so over spending hours depilling it!!!
I like my Scandinavian Leather recliner it's only 8-9k .
I love your video though
Thank you
I am waiting for my custom made Marin sofa to arrive. Too bad you did not try when visiting West Elm.
The Marin is beautiful too! Keep us updated when you get it.
Do the magnolia
Wow.
What a pretty girl.
Very helpful video.
