Hi! We are moving to the USA from another country and we need to buy an entirely new home worth of furniture. I'm currently pulling my hair out looking for leather couches and would love any help anyone here can offer! Every couch I look up here or r/furniture has plenty of bad reviews. NB: I'm looking for a 3 seater/88'' couch in a kind of 'modern' look, such as the examples below.
Article Sven: I love the look of this one and I was initially impressed to see it's a wirecutter top pick. However, so many reviews say that the cushions flatten out pretty quickly and the customer service is terrible.
In lots of couch threads, I saw the flexsteel recommended. So I found the Endurance couch. It's definitely my least favourite visually, but I was considering it for better quality. However, there are several comments on r/furniture saying the quality has declined sharply after 2010. For example, the foam density is now <2.0 (which is apparently bad, IDK anything myself).
Ikea Stockholm - actually the more expensive of the 3 options by about 4/500 usd. There are negative reviews about the quality of the leather on the ikea website. And r/ikea has so many complaints these days about reduced quality (not this couch specifically, but in generally).
However, at least it has a 25 year warrantee. I'm considering just getting this if I like the look of it in store, since we'll be getting a bunch of stuff from ikea anyway.
Any thoughts or recommendations? NB there are so many positive reviews of couches posted just a few months after purchase - I'm particularly interested in recommendations if you've had your couch over 1-2 years please!
Thank you so much in advance ... from a tired mother who doesn't have time to spend 6 hours researching every single purchase!!
EDIT: thank you so much everyone for the great suggestions. As a non American it’s hard to know where to start looking. I hadn’t ever heard of the majority of the places suggested and I look forward to doing more research from a more informed position. Im not moving for another month or so but I’ll let you know what we end up getting!
