r/furniture on Reddit: Experience with Crate & Barrel Gather Sofa?
November 9, 2021 -

We are looking for a leather sofa under $4k and seriously considering the Gather. Anyone own this/have experience with it? Most reviews seem positive on the C&B site, but a few people said the cushions break down quickly.

Open to any other recommendations for a sofa under 80" wide. Thank you!

We just got our Gather sofa. We had a verano II before, and compared to that the gather sits a little higher and firmer. We love how it looks and thought the leather would be less interesting to our cat than the verano ended up being. We’re adding an ottoman which will make it feel a bit more laid back. We have found that the cushions started too firm and are breaking in nicely. Not sure how they will be long term. Hope that helps!

Crate & Barrel Gather Sofa Review | Apartment Therapy
September 4, 2025 - The cushions are comfy, but they immediately bounce back after you sit on them (even after hours of lounging — don’t judge!), which helps it still look sophisticated instead of too worn-in. And the couch comes with two knife-edge throw pillows, which are great for back support or the dozens of naps I’ve taken on it. The Gather collection is modular and customizable, so you can get whatever combination works best for you.

Why We Decided on the Crate & Barrel Gather Sofa – Bookworm Cottage Style
January 20, 2025 - These are attractive couches and the price was right, but ultimately I felt like Crate & Barrel was a safer bet in terms of quality construction. C&B Pacific Chaise Sectional Sofa & the C&B Monahan Chaise Sectional Sofa: I really liked the look of both of these sofas, but these styles seemed to be more prone to losing their shape according to reviewers, and they were poorly reviewed compared with other C&B styles. C&B Gather Deep Seat Double Chaise Sectional Sofa: This was the couch that checked all of the requirements above, and it was very well-reviewed on the C&B site.
