Good Questions: Sofa Similar to the Halsey from Restoration Hardware?

Hi AT:SF, I really fell for the style of this sofa, but could never find a Restoration Hardware store that actually carried it. One of the misfortunes of RH is that they carry many styles, but don't display them in their stores... I suppose it has something to do with keeping costs down...

...In any case, I contacted their customer service to see if there might be another store sample that might have been made by the same manufacturer; to at least, get a sense of the quality of construction and actually test the comfort level. So sad, it is no longer available. :~(

Because I am so taken by the lines of this particular sofa, I thought I would ask if anyone might know of a similar sofa of similar lines and is of good quality...I am willing to pay for quality, but can't ever bring myself to ordering something without seeing/testing it for myself.

Thanks for any recommendations!

Just take your picture to Customshouse (http://buildasofa.com/) and have them make one for you with the firmness of cushions and fabric that you choose.

The Martine sofa at Crate and Barrel is similar if you must try before buying. It is not as curvy and lacks the pillows. This sofa is lovely.

Unfortunately, RH retail outlets do not have enough real estate to showcase the entire furniture line. The only way to see the Halsey is if one is at the RH Warehouse Outlet. I can assure you that if you do find that the RH Warehouse is near you, it is worth making the trip for their monthly open-to-the-public sale. I know that there is one in CA but I am not sure exactly where it is. If that is not an option, check out Mitchell Gold. Until recently, Mitchell Gold manufactured most of the upholstery collection. Check to see if their line might have something similar.
