There is a showroom near me in Philadelphia. I have to say they look kind of "teen dorm room-ish". It's not something I would put in my home, at least the sofa. I can maybe understand the GIANT mush ball thing as something quirky for a corner, but not as a major furniture item in my living room. But it all depends on your taste.

I'm sorry, this is totally unhelpful, but I just have to say...LOVESAC?? Seriously? I can't get past that name long enough to even really look at the sofas...

i think the home reserve sofas look more 'sophisticated' (considering they too are puzzle-piece sofas) and for a much lower price point...

You can check these out at Straight From The Crate stores at 61st Ave or 1st Street. They are perfect for Urban Living because they are modular, they are easy to transport, stylish, come with a variety of cover options which can easily be removed and washed. Also you can build and change to any configuration imaginable! An incredible product!!

I'm in Pittsburgh and there's a showroom here. I went to check out the LoveSac couches since my apartment is a converted attic in an old Victorian house and has a very narrow staircase leading up to it, thus I needed a couch that was guaranteed to fit up the stairs. I was definitely disappointed in the quality. The Ultrasuede-style upholstery is very chintzy looking, far beneath anything you'd find at Ikea. The showroom display pieces looked very worn, too.

A friend of mine was considering these. He has a strange apartment with a very confined entry way, and thought that the Sactionals would be an easy (it not the only) way to get a full size couch into his living "area". We spent all day looking at couches at stores all over Manhattan in just about every price range (Levitz to B&B). We looked at the Lovesac Sactional first, then again after lunch, and again in the evening. Before seeing any other options they seemed just barely OK. They are made out of massive amounts of particle board. The regular fabric upholstery is terrible. The ultrasuede-style fabric is acceptable. The real kicker is the price. These are not cheap for what amounts to glorified dorm furniture. Getting enough modules in the suede-ish upholstery to configure anything other than a large love seat easily costs $1500 to $2000. Get fewer modules and you just don't have enough to take advantage of their modular nature. For $2000 you can certainly get better quality sectionals (thanks largely to the very low quality of the Lovesac) form IKEA or West Elm or CB2. Spend more (sectionals are costly) and you will get actual furniture with a proper 10 year lifespan. Spend the same amount on something other than sectionals and you will also come out ahead in quality. Not everyone in in the position to make an "investment" in furniture, nor are a lot of people interested in doing so. However, if you are not going to buy something that you want to keep for a while, you should probably spend just enough to keep yourself satisfied and comfortable.

The Sactionals' cost is just not in line with their low quality.

russel, what did your friend end up going with? i have the same problem, and the sactionals looked feasible but i haven't seen them in person.

They're actually pretty well built. Hardwood frames with a lifetime guaranty. I think the earliest models had particle board but mine are solid hardwood and ply walls. Custom covers is the way to go. They have like 200 fabric choices, some very high end, some cheesey.

Let me start off by saying that I registered for this site because of this thread. I absolutely love lovesac brand furniture! My husband and I have completely furnished our apartment in it and we get a constant stream of
compliments and remarks of jealously (I wish I could change my furniture around like that! Ah I wish I could machine wash mine! Etc)
this furniture is amazing. The covers are so form
fitting that they do not look like
covers at all (albeit they are therefore a bit hard to get on but that is what makes them look nice) people are shocked to learn that they are covers. The fact that they are machine washable is a huge huge plus (no worrying about spilling that red wine on the white sofa). If you have dogs this is the best stuff you can buy! My puppy chewed my moms sofa once- they got it the year before from jordans furniture. Well one year later they had discontinued the couch and fabric. We had to call in a upholestry professional to see what he could do. Because they had had problems with the fabric streatching on the couch (it was no longer form fitting but wrinkley, Jordans said it was normal ware after 6months) they had extra foam for the cushion (thank god or we would not have been able to get it fixed at all). So the upholestry guy had to take fabric off the back of the couch, cover the new foam with it, and try to find a somewhat similar fabric to put on the back- so now there are two different fabrics on the back of their what used to be "expensive quality" furniture. Consider this scenario with a lovesac sactional- the most the would need to be replaced is a cover and a base cushion.

Aside from that- being able to store your furniture easily, being able to move it sooo easily (I'm 5 feet tall, under 100lbs and I movers our couch from our garage upstairs to our living room, set it all up and rearrange constantly), to change the set up if your bored or need to make an extra bed, longer couch, movie lounger, etc and to be able to change the look anytime you want simply via new covers (no need for getting rid of the old sofa!) is soo useful and so practical in life. Think about it what are the two main reasons people get new sofas? They move and it can't fit or they need something bigger, or they are changing the colors and look of a room. This takes care of all of that

these "sactionals" are QUALITY they must have changed a ton since 2007 when this thread started as mine are made of wood with quality cushions. We had them
uncovered for awhile as well. Albeit they do look so so much better with covers- having them
uncovered was fine as well.

That being said, we own 8 bases and 12 sides, a super sac, pillowsac and rocker frame, a footsac (these blankets are THE BEST!), and a dog bed. I don't work for this company (although I wouldn't mind an employee discount!) this is all just experience. Yes they are expensive but they are so so worth it.

I just bought a small set of bases and sides. I was extremely skeptical - VERY skeptical!! My fiance has been talking about Love Sac forever and I thought it was just some junky modular furniture.

We visited the Natick, MA store and it was easy to be convinced. My previous dream sofa was a Crate & Barrel, deep and comfy micro-suede. It would have been great but what if it didn't fit our next place, what if it got a stain, we'd have to buy other furniture to fit and match it.

Well the Love Sac sactional really solved all of those problems.

We currently have a Deep Love Seat arrangement with a chaise. And I can't wait to get rid of our other other sofa and buy a few more pieces to make some sort of L shape.

Definitely not for everyone(the traditionaists), but it was perfect for us.

Last year I invested in some LoveSac sactional pieces. We ordered upgraded covers since we have animals that shed alot. I must admit that I was skeptical at first but they have held up great. They are definitely not made of plywood. We have our pieces set up as one arm chair (1 base and 3 sides) and small-ish sofa (2 bases and 4 sides).

This summer we had guests over with small kids (ages 3 and 5) and after they left you would never have known that the kids had jumped up and down on the furniture and spilled drinks and food on them. I just removed the covers, washed them, fluffed the cushins and it was as good as new.

Since the internal frames are made of hardwood, they are super sturdy. My 14 and 10 year old neices were over for the day and spent most of the time sitting on either an arm or back while playing the Wii (which involved a lot of jumping up and down).

As a final testiment to the sturdiness of the frames ... the smoke alarm in my livingroom starting chirping because it was past time to change the battery. We were too lazy to drag the ladder in from the garage, so instead my husband (all 220+ lbs of him) stood on the arm of the LoveSac chair ... the same one the kids had jumped up and down on earlier that week. Needless to say, the battery got changed, the hubby is fine and the chair didn't need anything more than to be pushed back into place in the room.

While the stye of LoveSac furniture may not be for everyone, it fits us just fine and is best furniture we've ever owned. We've owned plenty of Ikea furniture in the past and none of it ever stood up to the wear and tear that our LoveSac Sactional pieces have endured.

p.s. I checked out the HomeReserve furniture suggested by Miss but if you watch the video you can see that the frames are plywood and you slide the padded portions onto the exposed plywood frame pieces. As opposed to the LoveSac pieces which are all pre-covered in fabric and padding. The only exposed wood on the LoveSac pieces are the legs, the connection points and the bottom (the parts facing the floor as in the underside of side) of some of the pieces.
