Do not go with joybird. We are dealing with a nightmare right now. Instead of getting the sectional we ordered they delivered two sofa portions and no chaise. So I have a thirteen foot long four foot deep monstrosity in my living room. More on reddit.com

I had similar experience with JoyBird

Okay. Here's what you do. Photo all the Joybird stuff you love. Then you call up the Comfortable Couch Company - They can copy just about anything. When they first got started, I was in love with the Restoration Hardware line of leather couches. Some research showed they used really terrible (seriously like a frame made of pallet wood, and foam cushions that crumble) materials and build quality, and wrapped it in high end leather. Resulting in beautiful couches that disintegrate after a year or two... I called up CoCoCohome.com and sent them photos of the couch I liked, and they copied it. They used proper kiln dried hardwood, pocketed coil springs - but they could've used 8 way hand-tied coils had I asked. They wrapped the memory foam core cushions in duck down, and then used my chosen leather... at the time it was called Brompton Chestnut - but basically its a Full grain leather of a thickness you'd normally see on baseball gloves. It only looks better 14 years later. At the time Cococohome was in a shack in Corvalis, NC I think.. now they have design centers in a lot of major cities so you can actually visit them and see what you need - in years past I did everything via email and they were a breeze to work with. My custom piece took about 3 months to make, and 3 weeks for white-glove delivery. They're bigger now so I doubt it will take as long to manufacture your piece. I'm getting ready to buy a new couch from them right now. Upgrading to a chesterfield for my living room. Edit: This is my couch after about 4 years: https://imgur.com/gallery/yzqLIyj - This pic was taken about 8 years ago. The couch still looks great. More on reddit.com

Can confirm that our cats massacred three fabric chairs but never even nicked our velvet sofa, which we’re replacing with a new velvet sofa. More on reddit.com
