![]() So instead of shopping at Raymour and Flanigan, Bob’s Furniture (where my old couch was from), Ashley HomeStore, etc. And I wanted something larger than a traditional sofa and decided a sleek L shaped sectional or sofa with a chaise would fit my space better AND would provide more seating in my living room.Īnother thing I also knew was that I wanted to make an investment in this piece of furniture, my first BIG (read: expensive) purchase of my adult apartment. ![]() After mocking up my living room redesign I knew I wanted a white or very light colored couch. But for something like a couch or chair I definitely want to sit on it to make sure it’s comfortable before committing to it. For a piece of furniture like a desk or dining room table or nightstands, I can go without seeing the item in person. Then in person if possible because I need to see and touch and sit on. And then after narrowing it down I start shopping – online first to save time. Then create a few mock ups of the room I’m decorating or redecorating. And saving inspirational photos of rooms and pieces that I like. Personally I like to start my furniture shopping by scouring Pinterest and Instagram. And a big, expensive home decor one like this takes a LOT of internal deliberating, research and online window shopping. If you know me then you know it’s nearly impossible for me to make a decision. In Spring 2020 after spending more time in my apartment than I’ve ever spent in my life I finally made the decision to start looking for a new couch. But just in case you don’t here’s why… West Elm Sofa Review – Why You Should Never Order a West Elm Couch If you follow me on social then you KNOW why I’m choosing to dedicate an entire blog post on my West Elm sofa review. So you couldn’t go into a store and see anything in person. ![]() And furniture shopping during a pandemic is even harder! Not only were shipping delays and inventory issues an absolute nightmare, there were months where nothing was open. And it’s a good one – my West Elm Sofa Review AKA Why You Should NEVER order a West Elm Couch…are you ready?įurniture shopping is HARD guys. I pitched it to my husband with the promise that I’d sell our existing chunky u-shaped sectional (which really was far too large and awkward for our living room anyway) for a good chunk of change and that we’d use the money for the Harmony.My most anticipated post of the past 2 years is finally here. However, weeks later I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I remember the first time I saw it in West Elm and I thought that it may be too modern for my taste, far too white and way out of our budget, so my husband would never go for it. This sofa literally ticks all of my boxes. You can view the many options for this sofa here on West Elm’s website. The extra deep may be more suitable for larger people or those with larger families. ![]() One of the reasons I love this couch is that my husband and I can both lay on it side by side perfectly. Our sofa is 118” wide in the standard size depth, but it has an option for an “extra deep” size, which I personally would consider to be almost too deep for us. The fabric is actually made up of recycled plastic bottles, which still blows my mind but totally fills my eco-friendly heart with joy. By the way, I believe West Elm has recently renamed the color “oyster” to “alabaster.” I like it because from afar it just looks plain white, but up close you can see the fabric is a fine weave of white, taupe, and gray thread, so it really goes with anything. We chose ours in the color Oyster in the Eco Weave fabric and it is one of the lightest options for this sofa. If you buy something I have the opportunity to make a small commission which allows me to keep creating content. It also comes in quite literally over 100 options for color and fabric.ĭisclaimer: This post may contain affiliate links to products I use and love. The West Elm Harmony comes in several options including a single sofa, sleeper sofa, modular sofa, and the two-piece chaise sectional, which is the one we have. ![]() One of the most frequently asked questions I recieve is related to our West Elm Harmony sofa, so I’m here to tell you all about it, why we love it, how to keep it clean, and when the best time is to purchase one. ![]()
