Room and Board Couch Round-up Part 3: Rating the Good, the Bad and the Un-Comfy

dean couch .jpg These are the couches that make us blue. Mostly because they gave us a false sense of hope. They looked like they would be just perfect, but it seems that so many R&B couches suffer from short seats and straight backs. Here, sadly are the losers.

The Dean - (Seen above) This one forces you into an uncomfortable slouch when you sit, which for us is not a good thing. (86"-$1,400)

The Metro - This is the sink in in a bad way. Not too comfy. (75"-$1,350)

The Flanagen - Forces you to sit upright- like taking tea with the queen. Not great. (79"-$1000)

The Pennington - We wrote down the word "fine" for this. If someone said we looked "fine", we'd change.(72"-$950)

The Candice - Another upright/not cozy. Why are these all so short-backed?! (71"-$1,200)

The Dublin - Straight up- forces you to sit upright. Not great. (73"-$950)

The Porter - Oy. Sinks way down. Feels like an old couch with bad springs. (71"-$1,300)

I think you need to sit in ALL of Room and Board's sofas again. SOOO many of them are very comfortable.
Many of which you stated were uncomfortable, are indeed very inviting/cushy.

Anyone check the R&B Dawson? Or any sectional that comes in leather?
