Sofas

My husband and I typically don't like sitting on sofas or couches because they are often soft with puffy pillows that you constantly have to adjust for comfort and looks. Hate that! I also can't stand getting wedged in the cracks of the sofa cushions and not being able to sit "Indian-style" because a sofa isn't deep enough. For this reason, and the fact that in an Brooklyn 1 bedroom apartment you need a guest bed, we've always had a high end futon as our couch. Until now...Having left NYC for greener pastures, and 3 more bedrooms, we needed to get a "real" sofa for our primary living space. (Our beloved and trusty futon has its place on the garden floor of our home now.) Enter The Spencer Sofa by Gus Modern. Tailored lines with one firm bottom cushion and one firm back cushion, rich dark indigo tweed fabric which is simply stunning, a very deep bench with lots of legroom and width for sitting every which way, and the perfect back height to support your shoulders. Love, love, love.If you like firm support, with a mid-century modern edge, I hardly think you can go wrong here.[...] Aces!"..."  Read more

The Palliser sofa and loveseat I bought from Wayfair was the Valencia line which is now out of production but very similar to this. The fabric has held up very well. The construction is very good. I'm a 350 pound man and the springs and cushions have shown very little if any give. Because of my good experience with Palliser and Wayfair, I've just ordered a leather chair and ottoman."..."  Read more

The James Lounge Sofa By Gus Modern is worth the price tag of [$]...such a beautiful and very well made sofa which looks perfect in my living room. It looks even better than what the picture showes. It took 7 weeks for me to receive it which I was not a happy camper but once I saw it, it was definitely worth the wait and it looks ultra modern in my living room!"..."  Read more

Splurged on this sofa 22 years ago and am so glad I can replace it with the same thing. It's been a great sofa, quite striking, yet still classic, in cranberry leather, and has worn well through heavy use all these years. Really deep seating and wide arms are great for the laptop or a book. Low padded arms also make this comfortable for a nap. Nice back and sides for placement perpendicular to wall. Leather wears great and no pet hair sticking."..."  Read more
