Your cautionary comment about West Elm's five-month delivery made me laugh! I ordered the Andes bed from them last fall. NINE months later, I'm still waiting for it to be delivered, with no end in sight. I'll be lucky to get it by Fall. Five months would've been a dream! Unless you order a piece they already have in stock (limited fabrics, certain leg options, etc), prepare to go without your furniture for up to a year. Don't believe the online delivery estimate window. When I ordered, the original estimate was for December 2021 delivery.

[@tessaschultz1498]

Kiva girl, you must have been reading my mind. I so needed this. Am in the market for a new sofa and good ones are very hard to find. So thank you.

[@kevjapan]

I've been loving my KIVIK sofa. Was available in a nice charcoal color in my neck of the woods (Japan). Comfortable sofa for lounging and I can't count how many times I've fallen asleep on this couch and woke up feeling great (bad habit I know). Thanks always for your great videos!

[@jessakent2049]

I loved the look of that that Plush sofa, so I went to look and it's $2000! Then I realized I was looking at the big sofa, not the 2-piece sectional that you pictured, and that is $1300 and is now saved for when it's time to get a sofa this fall/winter. The Big Sur is SO COMFY! I love that you can get 3 cushions, since I like turning and rearranging my cushions all the time so they don't develop dips.

[@aidaagraan5316]

This video could not have come at a better time! I’ve been stressing out about what sofa to buy so this really helped. Thank you!!

[@cherylkavanagh3387]

I really enjoyed this video, Kiva. Very informative. A few years ago, I bought the Radley sectional and storage ottoman from Macy's in dark gray for my son. It is comfortable and has held up well. Fortunately, I did not experience any delivery issues with Macy's. With respect to Pottery Barn and West Elm (which are under the Williams Sonoma umbrella), I have been waiting for a chair for seven months from Pottery Barn and have now been told that it will be at least another month. Same with West Elm. I ordered two chairs from them mid April and was advised that the earliest delivery date will be mid-September. Knowing their delivery record, I will be lucky to receive them before the end of the year. I am a long time Pottery Barn customer, but after I receive my chairs, that is it. I will no longer purchase any furniture from either West Elm or Pottery Barn. Customer service is the worst and quality has declined. So disappointing.

Of course!! so happy you found it helpful :)

[@fairburngordonstephanie5398]

Thank you for showing the difference and value of each sofa.

[@garnetofjanuary1669]

Great video! I literally just ordered a sofa this this morning before watching this video, haha! I was actually considering the Andes sofa, but went with the Article Abisko sofa in Quartz white. They are very comparable in price point, but I don’t have 5-6 months to wait for a West Elm sofa in the color I want. Also, delivery inside my room was only $70! I also found the Andes to be somewhat uncomfortable for everyday, lounging experiences.

[@raizatheis6516]

I liked all the sofas you talked about on different styles. Keep going with your high level of knowledges, regards from the s Scandinavian raiza

Thanks for all the work you do to save us time and money!

[@barbaraknox8380]

Great suggestions! I have the Andes in performance velvet! Very nice! The only con is it sits a bit to low for my mobility issue. So weird because I did sit on it in the store. In hindsight, I think I loved the look so much perhaps that blinded my decision making. Unfortunately, I’m not enjoying sitting on it as much I would like. Oh yes, I bought during peak pandemic and it was a few months before delivered.

[@Soylarimar]

Yeay I’m doing research and this video is sooo on point for us! Thank you for sharing

This is great and so rare to find! I love the Big Sur, but there is no sectional option that isn't too big for my space. Thanks for this great roundup along with your professional and personal experience details!

Thanks KB. You sure do know your sofas. I really liked the Big Sir. ❤

As a swedish wiever it would be nice to hear your input of more Ikea sofas., for exemple the most sold ones

[@lunchboxroxx]

That green sofa is so pretty 😍

[@youbetcha108]

I bought a sectional queen sleeper sofa from Ethan Allen 20 + years ago. I had it covered with a heavy Italian Robert Allen tapestry patterned fabric. I still have it. I had the pullout bed replaced. This was a costly sectional bc of the sleeper part and the fabric. But it has survived cats children and many sleep overs for twenty years. It is in a den where the tv is. Very well used piece of furniture. My college aged son loves this sofa. Many Fortnite games played while sitting on it in middle school and high school. My daughter watched many movies with multiple friends sitting on this sofa. This sofa is in a high profile part of the house. It is not hidden in a basement. I told my husband this is it. We are never going sofa shopping again 20 years ago. He figured it was worth the price if he never had to buy another sofa. 😂😂😂Buy good and hold. Don’t go cheap on a sofa!

[@sparr5132]

This is a fantastic video; it was honest and informative. I wish you would have stated your best buy overall pick. I would go with the Arhaus. Restoration Hardware is getting away with the name because to me they are overrated. Please...please do one on beds and nedroom furniture.

[@lizhoward9754]

Thank you for mentioning the cons and showing us a variety of sofas 👍

Great video, Kiva! As always, thank you for your well thought out content. I would love your opinion on the Aris sofa from Crate & Barrel. The images look great, but not many reviews. Also, there are no stores in my state :/ Thanks!

Cool !!!🙌👏. Hi, kiva, I'm not in a hunt for sofas right now bc i recently got two "HELLUVA" sofas (11' 8" each one) 🤭🤭 but, if i were, i would definitely go for one of those. Tyvm, kiva, excellent video. 👏🙌👌.

[@cynthia425]

I got the Harmony only a little over a year ago. It is now in storage. It was so uncomfortable. You are correct, it took 4 months to get and the customer service is mediocre. I have now bought a Modular Sofa with recliners. LOVE IT!

For another video, I’d love to see (let me know if you have one) one that designs a MBR that also has a sitting room all in one - how to design one cohesive but separating space. Thanks

[@Stormbrise]

It would be nice if you did one on chaise lounges and sleeper sofas. Especially pointing out the cons of the bar in the hip or small of the back making it terrible to sleep on.

[@angelabrown766]

Thank you . I’m looking for a deep comfortable but not too low sofa. If it’s too low it pulls on my knees when I go to get up. I really want to be able to lay on it and take a nap. I will look at this video to try to figure out the best option but if you know which one is better for me I would really like your advice . RH is out though lol can’t afford that one!😊thanks

[@zoer7105]

Kind of specific question for you if you have time, i have noguchi style tables and i love them- what should i look for in a sofa/lamps to go with it in the living room?

[@alfonseal]

very good insight from you thank you!

[@staceyannlouis7742]

Hi. I love your style and insight. Can you share accent chairs and more formal sofas? I am looking to decorate a formal living room, and I want your opinion on a more decorative and elegant piece. Thank you.

[@pamela3213]

Kiva, you Always come through! Like many other followers I'm on the hunt for the "perfect sofa/sectional" - Is there such a thing?! I have lumbar spinal stenosis and definitely leaning towards the Arhaus, have the swathes on the way. How are you Feeling lately; I Pray you're doing better & following a treatment plan that's working for you. I Def can relate. Wonderful & Informative video, I Appreciate all your efforts! Thank you Kiva 🤗💫

[@butterflysun]

Informative video! Your honesty is appreciated. Ashley and mybobsfurniture ( the sleeper Hampton), also have quality and affordable sofas. I currently own an Ashley two seater sofa...the soletren. So many comfortable naps with my son 🐶😁.

[@lolaoh2001]

Great Video! Thank you!

[@marychristensen7386]

Great video. The con of getting a sofa and then needing to return it is super important to think about. Recently I purchased a sofa for my Alaskan condo. Obviously, it is important to buy furniture locally and not online so companies like Amazon or Ikea were out. And none of the furniture stores you talk about have locations in Alaska. So, I went with Ashley Furniture. I wanted to find a reasonably priced sectional that could be made into a bed and I thought I found the perfect one at Ashley after sitting in it for like a second. Then I got it delivered and it was incredibly hard and uncomfortable and I had to return it. So, I called and spoke to their manager who cheerfully told me it could be returned and I found a much more comfortable sofa (but not a sectional). I was so happy to find a furniture store with such good customer service.

[@Sunshine-fy4fz]

I love Ashley Furniture! I have a dining room set and sofa & chairs from them that I bought years ago and LOVE - the style, the comfort, the durability/quality, and the delivery service was excellent, too.

Great timing and I’m only 8 days late watching it. Lol. I’m “sofa searching” for my MBR and our movie room. For the movie room, I can max out at 100 inches but would like a little room on both sides. I have become a West Elm junkie and always window (internet) shop RH. Any suggestions? Performance fabric, comfy, recline or ottoman, lounge-worthy. Thanks!!

[@jeriheller9791]

Thank you for this video and for all your videos! Do you have any thoughts about the Crate and Barrel Axis sofa? And what are your thoughts about Room and Board sofas. They are pricy, but I’m wondering about what you think about their quality and comfort. I made the mistake buying a sofa online and I am living with a very expensive mistake. I dream about a new sofa and when it’s in my budget, I don’t want to make any mistakes Thank you so much!!

Check out the Brenalee from Macy's its also carried by City Furniture under the product name Delilah. Similar in size to the Plush sofa but with a slipcover

[@michellec6336]

Hi Kiva! 👋 Love this videi!!! I don't know if you will see this. If you do, can you tell me if any of the sofas you mentioned come in leather or a really good vegan leather that won't tear with doggy scratches. Or if one of the performance fabrics can protect the cushions if puppy decides (despite being taken out regularly and being neutered) to mark the couch. Yes, I've told the puppy we do not appreciate him doing this even if it is random. We have a mid-century/modern living room. Your advice is greatly appreciated!! ❤

[@Noreenlee1]

We have the leather three seater from Burrow. It's gorgeous and extremely well made, but I can't get comfortable enough to enjoy a movie on it because the leather is so slippery! My legs just slide off no matter what I do. I finally bought a stool, but I hate that it slides away from me. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't buy the Burrow. Thanks for the video. I'd love to find out what you'd think about the Allform by Helix.

[@estherstephens1858]

Kiva!!!!! I’ve been looking/shopping around for a sofa for approximately 4 months!! I don’t want a sectional or modular unit. I will not buy online. I need to try the sofa prior to buying it and will not deal with having to return it. As a “mature” woman I’m finding it overwhelming just to buy a sofa 😭😭😭. I am 5’ tall and am looking for a medium to firm sofa. My experience in going to the store is that in most cases I can’t even tell the actual color due to lighting or worse. I live in Fl. If the sofa has been displayed near the window for an extended period of time the sofa has discolored. At this point I’ve just given up. 😭😭😭
