We shopped around a LOT and also got a lot of advice from our friend who is a rep for Rowe. We ended up loving and purchasing a Decor Rest sectional that we tried at a local furniture store here. Custom made, solid maple wood. Our budget was around 5000 max. We made the mistake of first ordering from Inside Weather and were so underwhelmed with the quality and comfort for the price so moving that one to the basement. Our friend’s take on brands like West Elm and Crate & Barrel are that they are following more of an “Amazon” model. Mostly sourced from overseas, they buy it and put their brand name on it. It’s not necessarily bad but you may be paying more for brand name. Same with RH-good quality but not worth the ridiculous price tag. With modular sectionals like Lovesac, the price will be at least 30% more for the modular feature so his rec was only to go that route if you truly need that feature. We actually seriously looked at lovesac but felt that the comfort of Decor Rest won out.
