Good Question: A Blocky Sofa for Less?

2004_7_question mark.jpg

I am Looking for a very blocky comtemporary sofa for a small/medium apartment, like the Theater sofa at DWR, but not as pricey, anything online, please let me know. Thanks, Jeremy

The Theater Sofa at DWR goes for $3,000 so it shouldn't be hard to beat this number somewhere. An easy check over at Room & Board shows that the Zoe Sofa is not too far off and costs only $1,700. Anyone else got a good solution?? MGR

How about the Snap Sofa from Todd Oldham for La-Z-Boy? I don't see a black leather option on the website but I bet all you have to do is ask. (http://www.la-z-boy.com/ourfurniture/furniture_detail.asp?furnitureid=1135)

Possibly the Naples Sofa(http://www.eurway.com/item_display.lasso?id=2888&-token.id=9337304&cat=94&s=48) or the Fulton Sofa (http://www.eurway.com/item_display.lasso?id=2504&-token.id=9337304&cat=94&s=48) at Eurway.com...

Jeremy:

If not committed to leather, try:

West Elm's (imaginatively named) "Sofa with Metal Base":
http://ww1.westelm.com/cat/pip.cfm?template=8grid&pkey=cfrnsof&gids=p052&cid=frnsof&area=shp

"Chunky Open Arm Sofa":
http://ww1.westelm.com/cat/pip.cfm?template=8grid&pkey=cfrnsof&gids=p048&cid=frnsof&area=shp

ultra-paired down "Upholstered Cube Sectional":
http://ww1.westelm.com/cat/pip.cfm?template=8grid&pkey=cfrnsof&gids=p053&cid=frnsof&area=shp

or "Wood Sofa with Cubby":
http://ww1.westelm.com/cat/pip.cfm?template=8grid&pkey=cfrnsof&gids=p054&cid=frnsof&area=shp

Also really like CB2's Chameleon Sofa:
http://ww1.westelm.com/cat/pip.cfm?template=8grid&pkey=cfrnsof&gids=p054&cid=frnsof&area=shp

and their Zoom sofa, if you insist on going armless (sorry VulcanMike!!):

Good luck!

How about the indivi sofa from BoConcept? The fabrics start at about $1099 and the leathers start at about $2099. The best part is that the arms, legs, configuration, and length can be changed depending on the style your going for.

have you tried country home and comfort at 43 w 22? http://www.countryhomeandcomfort.com

unfortunately, doesn't have couch on site, but they offer a beautiful, black leather "boxy" couch that is from italy and very affordable: under 2000. it's called "the begamo"; i have it and love it.

BO Concept - they have great blocky sofas for less.

IKEA's low and chunky new Kramfors sofa and loveseat come in brown or sand leather, for $799 (sofa) & $699 (loveseat).

And not sure if anything specific might work for you sofa-wise, but every now and then Huisraad (with a new location in the Short Hills Mall) offers some winners. www.huisraad.com

Hey, Huisraad might just have a winner for you after all! CHeck out the (oddly named, since it is Ebony) Ivory sofa, as shown for $1099.

I live in Texas and the Kramfors sof is selling for $1250. Were is it available for $799?

Maybe Patrick meant the TYLÖSAND

The Kramfors sofa is listed at $799 and the loveseat at $699 in the new 2005 Ikea catalog. I've found those prices at the Ikeas in my area (southern California). I looked for a link but they don't seem to be listed on the Ikea web site yet. Don't pay $1250!

I think the sofa looks quite nice and the brown color has a crazy ostrich-like texture (at least that's what it reminds me of) but a friend of mine just got it and it feels very uncomfortable to me--the bottom cushion is waay too firm for my taste.

Has anyone had any experience with www.modernsofa.com

there stuff looks nice as are thier prices, but before I buy anything I would love to hear some feedback.

Just got the Kramfors from Ikea- in the dark leather.. very good value, $1250 with tax.. got the loveseat/chaise combo. Would def recommend if you want an "L" shaped deep seat.

posted by Nic Nichols on 2004-12-17 09:55:59

Hey, where did you get the Kramfors Loveseat/chaise combo for that price. In Texas that combo is $1600.00. Please help my new wife and I love that set. Thanks

To the person who posted the "snap" by la-z- boy, designed by VEGAN Todd Oldham, leather is not an option and they will not accommodate you for this request! This only pertains to the Todd Oldham designs.

The reason you see differences for the Kramfors sofas is that Ikea has two different ones.

One is much longer than the other and actually 2 pieces, hence the much higher price.

WIEDER is a surprise - in spite of its minimalist looks it offers excellent comfort, thanks to high quality filling and wooden slats in the seat. Roomy and comfortable while not taking up too much space. Even more surprising is the ease with which the sofa converts into a double bed. www.wiederusa.com

anyone have any experience with EB PETERS sofas? I have been interested in a Kramfors sofa from Ikea but they are out of stock and have no idea when they'll have more. The EB PETERS sofas are modern and affordable. I would like to know if anyone could give me some feedback on them.
