apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Impossible to select a preference without sitting on one.

The Eloise sofa from Zagaroli Leathers (in North Carolina) was the most comfortable sofa I've ever sat in. The pinnacle of style and comfort... http://www.zagaroli.com/pdfs/sofas/eloise.pdf

I'll never forget how great it felt to sit in this couch...

Actually, Room and Board's Clarke sectional is truly the most versatile, as the same two pieces (sofa and armless loveseat) can be arranged as either a right hand sectional or a left hand sectional.

Neither of the others can do that, and for apartment dwellers who move frequently, this is a major plus.

I must put a plug in for the Carter sectional by Gus Modern. Super super comfortable and similar in style to the ones above.

Sorry but I did not find the GUS sofas-comfortable at all-they look good but when I checked out there NYC store-the seating was not good at all-
Yes its cheaper, but its also made in china, and the tailoring is not nearly as nice as any of the ones above

I'm a big fan of the Jasper sectional from Room & Board:

Although it doesn't have a tufted back, it does have mid-century details that are to-die-for (especially the conical feet). And I think it's especially well-tailored for a slip-covered sofa.

For what it's worth, I've found R&B a good company to work with. Ordered a number of things from them over the years. Don't have any experience with JA or MG (anyone else have thoughts on them?)

I love the Adler one but I agree with Hazelnut, the Jasper sectional from Room and Board is SO comfortable.

I really love that Jasper sofa, thanks for the tip.

Michell gold is good quality-but I find a lot of their stuff sits a bit deep,and find the seat height a bit high

Love the tugboat section from inhouse furniture in los angeles. Purchased in 1999, this piece has worn like iron and looks just as good in my cape cod style home as it did in my modern townhouse.

Just based on looks, the Clark.

But the Dexter is more practical. I only wish it didn't have all those seat cushions. But the wedge makes the corner usable.

Most sectionals' corner is wasted space unless someone is using it chaise or bed. Separate pieces are more useful and versatile, especially for the small space dweller.

But unfortunately, I'm so poor that I can't afford any of them. Heck, I'm so poor, I don't even have any friends who can afford any of them.... ~:o(

We almost bought the Clark (I still long for it) but my husband said it was too deep (and it was pretty deep) for comfortable sitting. He's 6 feet so imagine for someone shorter. But it sure looks good!

I love all three, however, they are all pretty expensive. I saw the Cosmopolitan sectional at clubfurniture.com for alot less. It had similar tufted styling, lots of different configurations and was available in 55 fabrics plus they always have good sales going on.
