Crate and Barrel Davis sofa
Was wondering if anyone has bought this or maybe the Axis II sofa from Crate and Barrel? http://www.crateandbarrel.com/davis-lea ... fa/s253206. There's a 15% off sale on now and I've bought the Davis and the matching chair. Delivery is 8 weeks away so I can cancel but I really like this sofa. I'm a bit concerned since they're made by McCreary Modern in N.C. and reviews on McCreary are all over the map. They say the frame is benchmade with "sustainable hardwood that's kiln dried" but some reviews say the frame is plywood? The gold standard for springs is hand tied but they use a "flexolator" system instead? I'd really like to buy something that will last a while at this price but now I'm not sure about this set being the one. As far as buying a sofa with a "hand tied spring system" the ones I've seen are all well over 3 grand. Am I missing something here or is buying a quality leather sofa sort of like shopping for mattresses which was probably the most painful thing I've ever shopped for.
