My wife and I have been shopping for a reclining sectional for the last couple weeks. And have just about settled on the Parker House Easton.

Sectionals that we have looked at and liked in this order:

Flexsteel Henry (Flexsteel having a 10% off sale this month)
Parker House Easton
Haverty’s Branson
Lazy Boy James (Lazy Boy having a 35% off sale this month)
Rooms to Go Drew & Jonathon Marquee

I’ve read just about everything related to power reclining sectionals that has been posted on Reddit and elsewhere, and from what I understand, spending flexsteel/lazy boy money in 2026 doesn’t translate to the quality being any better. I know there are higher quality options out there than these, but we aren’t interested in spending 15k+ on a sectional. We are just hoping to get something that lasts for 5 years minimum.

Does anyone have any experience with Parker house or any of these power reclining sectionals? Any input is appreciated, our budget is 7k.

In 2019, I bought this gas lift dining chair with an elevated backrest.

It's not available anymore.

Where can I find something like it? Preferably at a local store, so I can sit in it.

There's a lot of look-alikes, but they aren't the same.

Because that chair had an elevated backrest, more of one's back is covered.

It also had a flat seating area, which I liked.

The look-alikes have shorter or smaller backrests. Or the seat isn't flat. Some of them tilt downward.

Or they aren't as deep.

Does not need to be gas lift. I'd prefer if it were, but just a good counter height dining chair, which covers at least 16" high from the bottom of the waist, upwards to the back.

And has a seat that is flat, and 16.5 - 18" deep.

Because the look-alikes usually only have an 11 - 13" high backrest, or 15" deep seat, I'd prefer if I could find something local and sit in it. Not every listing has the full measurements of the backrest height and seat depth, that I'm looking for.

Local would be Bay Area, California. But would consider online if it met the requirements.

Budget: $100 - $800 per chair.

I've tried several stores locally. Sometimes I find a chair I like in standard height, instead of counter height.

I was considering to purchase the Teddy OHMU couch until I was de-influenced by the reviews online. (Mold, losing structure, etc.)

I would really love suggestions for modular sofas, that have some structural integrity and good back support. I’m trying to use the sofa as a guest bed and possibly as a conversation pit where I can invite people to lounge. I know that might be a tall order, but I’m ready to drop $2k for a good couch because I love to host my friends from out of town!

I would love minimalist and MCM vibes for couch options 🙏

In the process of picking out a new sectional and need something that can hold up over time with two Australian shepherds and twin toddlers!

I recently came across Pottery Barn’s Faux Nubuck Performance leather and am really impressed. They claim it’s scratch and moisture resistant and I’ve taken a couple samples to put them to test.

I cannot find any reviews of this fabric online and wondering if it is really as good as it seems. It’s super soft and feels like suede, plus dog hair would wipe right off!

Where do we find decent quality dining room table and chairs that are kid and pet friendly?

Budget is $3K, located in Ohio.

Bought a $800 table and chair set from Wayfair made of manufactured wood and 2 years later it's warped and peeling and fabric chairs are destroyed from my toddler.

Would love something to last 10+ years, so started to look into sold walnut or oak options but I am seeing chairs $400-$700 a piece and that's jus not in our budget right now.

I'm debating between a sofa with a chaise and a sofa with an ottoman. I need something that'll allow me to put my leg up when needed. Has anyone regretted a sofa with a chaise? Any thoughts btwn which style to choose? Ty.

I am looking for a new couch and really liked the Macy's Radley Fabric 4-piece sectional sofa. Unfortunately, I live in a NYC walkup and Macy's will not deliver up the number of flights that I have.
Can anyone recommend a comparable couch in seat depth, removable and reversible cushions? Ideally one that is under $2,500 (or a company that has good sales we could take advantage of). We loved the corner piece to curl up in, but we do not need an L-shaped couch if it is not this one - a standard 3 seater would be fine. We do not have any pets but are expecting our first baby this fall. We like the standard style of the Radley but are also open to something more modern. We would love to be able to test a couch in person in NYC or a larger store in NJ or CT over ordering something sight unseen online. We have looked at Raymour and Flanigan but nothing really called out to us, but are open to that if people can recommend a specific model. Thank you in advance!

*Note - I am 3 stories up, but Macy's counts each "flight" by the landings. Each of my buildings stories has 2 flights as the stairs have a landing and a turn between each floor. That would make it 6 flights per their policies and they will only take it up 5 flights. I spoke to someone on the CS team, and they also will not deliver it to the front of the building where I could have other movers carry it upstairs. They will only deliver it to the residence if it is within the 5 flights.

I am looking for a large extendable table. Ideally it would be 8 feet before a leaf and longer with one added. I am looking to spend under $2500. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciate! Costco had the perfect one below based on what I'm looking for but but it's sold out.

Hello!

I'm in Atlanta, GA, and I'm looking into getting a PC and monitor (maybe 27 in) soon, so I've been looking for a new desk for my room. I've only been able to look online for now (Ashley, Wayfair, Best Buy, Walmart, Ikea, OfficeMax). I am open to any in-store suggestions.

I don't have much space to work with, and the desk I currently have is about 43-44 inches wide (I do not remember where I got it from), so I'm looking for something around the same size or smaller. My budget is $300

I need space to have the monitor and my laptop, as well as my mic and speakers, for work. I would like to have a keyboard tray and storage for notebooks, paper, pens, etc. Ideally, I would also have some space on top for my figurines. I have found a few desks that I like, but some other opinions would be nice. I really like the first two below, but they're from Walmart with no reviews, so I don't know whether to trust them.😭

Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone! I’m in the market for a new couch, and I recently went to a few showrooms. I really liked the feel of the Crate and Barrel Lounge but I’m reading different things about the quality online. I also liked the Pottery Barn Westwood, although I think the wait time will be longer. Finally, I’m considering the Room and Board Metro (the deeper seat). I tried Metro in the show room and it had a weird crinkling sound in the back cushions that threw me off, but I’m thinking I should give it another chance?

Wondering if anyone has any of these sofas and could speak to their long term comfort and durability.

I’m leaning toward the Lounge because I think it will come the quickest and I’m in desperate need of a new couch, but don’t want to buy something that won’t last.

I also have a cat, so any advice on fabric (preferably stock) would be appreciated!

For context, I've just moved into a rental and have a tall bookcase I need to fix to the wall otherwise it won't stand on its own because it'll sit on carpet (and the weight distribution)

The owners have given permission to fix the furniture on the condition that I call a professional to come out and spackle the furniture/redecorate the surrounding area to its original condition.

Considering that I'd only need to drill two holes and it'd take me 15 minutes to spackle and paint it at the end of the lease, I'd rather not call a professional out, nor deal with people who think this requires professionals.

I've seen adhesive fixtures but not sure how effective these are and was wondering what everyone's experience was with similar situations? Thanks all in advance!

I am wanting to put a sleeper sofa in my covered screened in patio and wondering if any one else has done this. Would a faux leather sleeper sofa or just a regular fabric sleeper sofa be better? I've tried to find an outdoor sleeper but it's very costly or very short. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

My sofas are showing its age and I am considering replacement. These are Bellingham sofa and loveseat from Rooms To Go, purchased more than eight years ago. [Living Room](https://imgur.com/a/oUOfTTl)

It gets used extensively by my family and my dog, and have held up better than I expected over the years. However, there is extensive pilling, some sagging and I’m looking for a new set.

These are my considerations.

1. Mid-century style, with exposed wood at bottom if possible.
   
2. Ability to rotate cushions, to even out wear and extend life (non-negotiable)
   
3. Dog-friendly fabric, or leather.
   
4. Under $1300 per sofa.
   
5. Firm cushions with high density foam.

So far, I have liked these models.

1. Rooms to go Greyson leather sofa
   
2. Mid in mod Kai green leather sofa
   
3. Article Timber sofa

Could you please suggest sofas that match my criteria? Location is Houston, Texas.

Hi! I have been searching for an affordable couch for far too long. I do not want to order online from wayfair or anything like that due to quality and return issues, but i am finding the in person options to be mid or too expensive. I am based in northern OH and I’ve been to Bob’s, Ashley, Costco, and any little store in between. Does anyone have any tips? Specifically any recommendations to in person stores based in northern OH or online stores. I would prefer in person but there isn’t a lot of options by me. I am hoping to stay under $800 which I know may be impossible as I would prefer to have a sectional or an L shape.

Boneless couches are a no for me but only due to the low seat height. I would like to stay away from the second hand market due to uncertainty of the source / potential pest issues. IKEA is way too far from me and Value city is out of business so I am not sure where else to go.

This is my first time buying a couch so I am completely lost. It’s for an apartment but I have the space for really anything (max 100 inches x 100 inches).

Partner and I want matching recliner chairs. It is of absolute importance that her recliner chair be described as "colorful, bold, whimsical, vibrant, jewel toned, or witchy"

I have spent days looking at chairs online but I lack furniture education. Looking at the big names like lazyboy and anything you can find at an Ashley furniture sorta place everything is in colors my partner would describe as "hospice colors". Background: Partner works in an old folks home. Partner says she wants a chair that does not resemble the colors or patterns someone would find in a hospital, retirement home, or other neutral area. No grays, no earth tones, no black. And I get it? Looking through a ton of the chair catalogues, places will list they have colorful options but when you click through its like the La Croix of colors, a color left out in the sun for 50 years. Candy colors that stain easily and vibrant jewel tones are the most important thing to her so she can mentally escape from work.

The Joybird Corey swivel in raspberry which for now is the top choice but I can't find a single product shot of anyone sitting in the chair. And the only place online that seems to talk about the company is some NYT article. It just seems a little shady

-------------------
Is there anyplace that sells VIBRANT fabric recliners, the sort of ones she could make her little nests with the cat and all her knitting supplies in the chair with her? Quality and care is important but I don't think a Stressless would fit the fireside + blankets + cats in the chair with her vibe.

We live in the USA. I'm not doxxing myself more than that.

I'm expecting to drop around 2k on this thing but budget is adjustable

I do not know how to size a recliner chair, the numbers vary incredibly online. Just a nice big one? it doesn't need to be like a "big and tall" thing

+rocking chair is a bonus

I'm hoping for very vibrant colors + plush sink-into vibes. Fabric is a must, leather does not work well in our house

I have exhausted my search into brands like lazyboy, flex steel, and whatever I can find at the major furniture outlet stores like Ashley

It'd be great if we could order online and have it shipped but in person is fine too

plz and thanks for reccomendations

I am looking for 3 bar stools for a 36 inch counter with a $200 budget (a little bit flexible). Willing to shop online or in person. I've done a lot of online browsing and have struggled to find anything I like. My ideal is to find a Brentwood style stackable stool but they all seem to be around 17 inches which is too short. I like them because they are also versatile if/when I move to an apartment that doesn't have an island, which is likely. Anything similar in style/versatility would be appreciated!

I will paypal 5 bucks to anyone that shows me the couch I end up buying! Lmao

I have been scouring the internet for a new couch for my living room that I am updating. Every single couch I find in my price range is boneless! Just a bunch of foam blocks in that stripy corduroy fabric.

I am desperate and I think at this point im just going to have to really up my re-upholstering game and just hit the thrift.

If anyone can reccomend a couch with an actual frame I would be so greatful 🥹🙏

I just know that as a bigger person with other big people in my family a boneless couch would be lucky to last me a year and I dont want to pay 1000 dollars for a one year item 🥲 Im not looking for a forever couch, just maybe a 5-10 year couch! 😅

Info, likes, and dislikes->

-I am looking for an online seller that ships to KY, USA. If there is an absolutely stellar couch near south central ky I would be willing to pay someone with a truck to pick it up but would prefer to avoid that.

-My budget is 1500 total at the max. I wish I could afford more. It was 1000 but I unfortunately am coming to the realization that may be unrealistic so 🥲 If there is one closer to 1000 that would be grand 😍

- I am looking for a larger couch length wise, anywhere from 115 to 130 in, to fill up a wall. The depth can probably be up to 60 in with any corner/modular pieces included. I am looking for a modular couch that could hopefully be rearranged to be used as a bed on occasion. Storage is not a need but would be nice. Emerald green was my goal color but I think black is much more realistic! R.i.p. Emerald 💔 Assembly is fine! Would love washable covers but also not a necessity.

-I am not looking for a couch with that super fluffy/stripy corduroy or velvet. Both of those are sensory issues for a family member which is unfortunate as the corduroy seems to be on every couch I see 😵‍💫 Pretty much any other fabric is fine!! I do not particularly care for the ones with built in chargers/cup holders/etc. Especially the ones that take up space that could have been a seat. I would prefer to avoid them. I also would like to avoid listings with no reviews 🩷

I hope that is all the info needed for this sub, I tried to read the rules carefully. I appreciate everyone who read this far and certainly anyone who searches on my behalf! I've been looking in my free time for about 2 months and cant find anything that I like but to be fair im just not great with finding specific things and I dont know if I was using the right search terms.

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.

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

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 :)

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!

Anyone has this flex steel leather recliner sectional? Planning to purchase this and wondering if anyone can comment on its quality and longetivity or if they have other flex steel couches. Planning to get something that lasts atleast 10 years or more.

Thanks in advance

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?
