Vivian
Vivian fell in love with Brenda’s sectional on page 2 on the custom inspiration page and wanted one just like it for her home but using different colors and slightly different dimensions. Vivian selected our Microfibre Fairview Wine and combined it with a C.O.M. fabric that she found at a local fabric store. We think her combination of fabric turned out beautifully. To build Vivian’s custom sectional, we started with our Roth style frame and used our Crawford middle bordered box style back cushions, which makes her sectional about 37" overall height. We added a visible "floor length" 7.5" kick-pleat skirt (sides that connect to other pieces do not have a skirt panel). Vivian upgraded the free ottoman to be storage and added a matching skirt. Her sectional consists of a LF loveseat, corner chair, and RF loveseat making the finished dimensions (L to R): 90" x 90".
Darsh and Jagadish
Darsh and Jagadish were searching for a living room sofa set that would provide seating for entertaining yet have a slightly whimsical appearance. They had some very specific design characteristics in mind and could not find what they wanted in retail stores. They were also looking for a high quality, domestically made product to support our economy. CarolinaChair was the ideal manufacturer to create this furniture. They started with a Hughes sofa and made several changes: simplified arms (our Valerie style arms shown on this page), tight back, single seat cushion with no welt, and 3” tapered wood feet. The original request of two chairs was upgraded to two chair & halfs in order to allow more flexible seating options. They selected Special Request Fabric Chloe Amber for the sofa and ottoman and Picayune Ginger for the two chair and a halfs. They finished off the set with contrasting 16”x16” throw pillows – two for the sofa and one each for the chairs.
Sue and Tom
Sue and Tom wanted to redecorate their recreation room and turn it into a kids’ game room with lots of seating. They decided on two Crawford style sectionals and asked to use the bordered box style (middle backs) of our Crawford style instead of the standard T-backs. Sue wanted the furniture fabric to be colorful and fun. Mission accomplished! Her fabric combination includes a variety of our Microfibre and Sultry Suede fabrics. She added several throw pillows in various sizes and shapes. Their 2-piece sectional consists of a LF chaise and RF full size sleeper. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 56” (overall depth of chaise) x 97”. Their 3-piece sectional consists of a LF queen sleeper, curved corner wedge and RF recliner. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 120.5” x 76. View additional photo. They upgraded their free ottoman to be a storage ottoman.
Karen M.
Karen needed a sofa and chair that would work in their living room which is also their "family room." She was looking for something nice to entertain with - but comfortable enough to lounge in and watch movies. When looking in stores, she found furniture that worked style-wise, but the fabric or size would not work. Karen sent us a link to a style that she liked and asked us if we could build something similar, but to the length she needed (88”) and using the fabric she wanted. The style was similar enough to one of our styles that we said yes ... we could build something similar. Karen selected Microdenier Baltimore Cocoa as her fabric and participated in our COM program for her contrasting 20” x 20” throw pillows. She added a matching swivel chair with a skirt.
Terri and Paul
Terri and Paul are empty nesters and were ready to replace their furniture. They wanted a large sectional that would allow for maximum seating (eight in their immediate family). They liked our Roth style, but wanted to use the Kingsley arm style without the curved bottom round (making the arm straight). They wanted to upgrade the free ottoman to be storage and increased the size to 42” x 42”. They selected 2” tapered wood feet and Microdenier Baltimore Black as their fabric choice. Their 5-piece sectional consists of a LF recliner, armless loveseat, curved corner wedge, armless chair and RF sofa with finished dimensions (L to R): 132” x 156.5”. Terri e-mailed us after receiving the sectional and said they have separated the RF sofa from the rest of the sectional as it works best in their room that way. They like having one end open with no arms and love the flexibility of being able to put it all back together when needed!
Karen D.
Karen was replacing existing furniture in her small family room. She wanted to be able to look from her front door to the back door without it looking cluttered or over furnished. She decided on a small sectional for the space. She liked our Crawford style but wanted some changes. To fit her space, we customized the length of her two 1-arm chairs and paired them with a curved corner chair which offers usable seating space. Karen’s changes included using the center back cushions of the Crawford style, making single seat and back cushions, increasing the border height of the seat cushions to 5” (adding thickness), decreasing the arm height to 26”, and adding 3” tapered wood feet (fruitwood finish) She chose our standard seat cushions and our poly back cushions for firmness and support. Sultry Suede Saddle is the fabric selection. Finished dimensions of her 3-piece sectional (L to R): 85” x 85”.
Allison
Allison needed a sleeper sofa and liked our Crawford sectional style but wanted two arms on her sleeper. Not a problem! We simply added an arm to our 1-arm queen sleeper. Her fabric is Microdenier Baltimore Cornflower.
Julie and Paul
Julie and Paul were our customers in 2004 when they needed to furnish their vacation home. They were now ready to refurbish their family room at home and had no doubt where to come for quality built furniture. They wanted a versatile sectional – one that could have multiple configurations. Julie saw the cup holder option on this page and wanted to incorporate them into her design. They chose our Crawford style sectional and the components are a LF recliner, RF recliner, LF chaise, RF loveseat and storage ottoman. We have displayed two possible configurations in our photos. The cup holders are stainless steel and can be removed for cleaning purposes. They opted for our standard seat cushions and our poly back cushions (for support). Their fabric choice was Microfibre Montego Cremini.
Joanne R.
Joanne had recently refurbished her family room and was looking for a sectional that would fit her space. She saw Elaine’s and Mairi’s custom creations on this same page and fell in love with that custom style (please read Elaine’s and Mairi’s stories below). She wanted to incorporate a curved corner wedge into her design, remove the skirt and 2” tapered wood feet. Her custom Roth 3-piece sectional includes a LF sofa, curved corner wedge, and RF chair. Joanne opted to upgrade her free ottoman to be storage. She selected our standard seat cushion filling, but increased the border size to 5” (adding thickness to the cushions). Her poly with fiber wrap back cushions offer added support and firmness (36” overall height). She added (2) 16” x 16” throw pillows. Finished dimensions of her sectional are (L to R): 127.5” x 77.5”. Lamb Suede Cayenne was her fabric choice.
Christine
Christine wanted two sofas for her living room. She had her own fabrics C.O.M. and liked our Hughes style, but wanted to make a few custom changes. She wanted our square bordered back cushions (overall height of 37”) and she wanted to increase the length of the skirt from our standard 7” to 10.5”. Christine used multiple fabrics for the skirt panels, skirt blocks and contrasting welt. View close up of sofa.
Misty
Misty loved her grandmother’s tight back sofa. She said it was very old, but she loved its small scale and retro look. She showed us a photo of the 2-piece sectional and asked if we could build something similar. Her 2-piece sectional is 80” in overall length, 29.5” in overall height and has a seat height of 17.5” and a seat depth of 21”. We used special cone feet and Misty participated in our C.O.M. program. View close up of arm.
Janine
Janine, a NY designer, has placed several orders with us for her clients. She wanted a sofa for herself and selected us to be the manufacturer for her personal furniture. Janine wanted a “scoop” arm style on an 86” long sofa. She preferred a 10” kick pleat skirt and bordered box style back cushions. Janine chose our fiber down cushion package and participated in our C.O.M. program for her fabric selection.
Helm and Mary
Helm and Mary liked our Eliot style, but wanted to make some dimension changes to accommodate their short stature. For both the loveseats and chairs, they wanted to decrease the seat height to 17.5” and reduce the seat depth to 20”. They also asked us to extend the arms to the front of the frame (eliminating the T-seat cushions) and change the back cushions to be T-back cushions (like our English style with rounded corners). Poly back cushions and our standard seat cushions were selected. Helm and Mary opted for no skirt and 3” tapered wood feet. Fabric covering is Special Request fabric Tabernas Linen.
Carol
Carol was remodeling her condo and converting a bedroom into a combination office/den. Because the space was small, she wanted compact chairs with ottomans. She couldn’t find what she was looking for at reasonable prices, so she searched online and found our website. Carol sent us a photo of a style she liked and we used that photo as a guide as we built her two chairs. Her custom chairs are 33” overall length, 35.5” overall depth and 37” overall height. They have bordered T-back cushions, 5” border seat cushions, and 3” tapered wood feet. The custom ottomans are 23" length x 16" depth. She used Sunbrella Canvas Vellum as her fabric covering.
Joanne W.
Joanne wanted a chaise for her bedroom for reading purposes. However, her space was very small. She called and asked what we would recommend given her space constraints. She liked the Roth style and our Microfibre Bengali Gold fabric. We suggested and built a custom Roth RF (Right-facing) chaise with the following dimensions: 28” overall length, 20” seat width, and 50” overall depth. She opted for our poly back cushions and we also increased the height of the back cushions by 2” making the overall height 37”. She added 2” tapered feet and (2) 16’ x 16” throw pillows in Microfibre Bromley Pepper fabric. View photo of chaise with throw pillows.
Janie
Janie wanted a chaise for her bedroom large enough to accommodate two! She liked our Crawford style but wanted to make a few changes. She wanted topstitching instead of welt, wanted to increase the border size of her seat cushions to 5”, and wanted block style feet. Finished dimensions of her modified 2-arm Crawford chaise: 48" overall length, 38" seat width, and 72" overall depth. Janie chose our fiber-down cushion package and Microfibre Bromley Chocolate as her fabric covering.
Ann J.
Do you notice anything different about this sleeper sofa? We didn’t think so. However, it’s very different. Here is the customer story:
Ann called us and said she desperately wanted one of our sleeper sofas with two arms, but she knew that it would not fit going down her “skinny” basement staircase. We asked her to send us a sketch of her staircase (with measurements) and we realized her only option would be to choose an armless style. Ann said that she really wanted arms and asked if we had ever thought about making attachable arms. I told her no, but she insisted that I ask my brother if he would be willing to think about how make it work while preserving the quality we offer. We came up with a great solution for the design and you have a very hard time seeing that Ann’s arms were attached. The armless sleeper (view photo) made it down the staircase and then the arms were attached giving Ann the sleeper sofa she wanted. Ann selected fan pleated arms for her sleeper and Microfibre Bromley Azure for the fabric.
C. Fry (of CarolinaChair)
As you can imagine, I have a house full of our furniture. I told my brother that I wanted a custom sectional that my family could use for relaxing while watching TV. I wanted at least three seats, cup holders, and storage in the arms if possible (see close-up of arm). We came up with this modified Hall design and I love it! My custom Hall sectional consists of a LF recliner, armless chair, RF recliner and storage ottoman. The arms are 12” in width and contain (2) cup holders and a nice storage compartment for remotes, etc. We added 3” to the back cushion height so that our heads would be supported when reclining. I chose our poly back cushions (for firmness and durability) and our standard seat cushions. My fabric is Microdenier Baltimore Mocha. See photos of furniture in the home photo 1, photo 2, photo 3.
Nancy and Bob
Nancy and Bob had some space constraints in a room they wanted to furnish, so they started looking in local retail stores for a smaller sofa and a chair and a half. They found some styles they liked - but weren’t happy with the fabrics available or they liked the fabrics - but not the prices. Then they found us! They sent us a photo of a style they liked and asked us if we could build something similar. The style was very close to our Kingsley style. To make the modifications, we slightly flared the Kingsley arm and cut off the bottom “round” of the arm. We also inset the Kingsley arms to create the T-seat cushions and we decreased the arm and seat height by 2.5”. We applied our Old Gold “Z” nailheads around the arm panels and front of the frame. Their custom Kingsley style (80”) sofa and (53”) chair and a half has Microdenier Baltimore Lichen as the fabric covering. Nancy and Bob chose our standard seat cushions and our Poly with fiber wrap back cushions.
Stacey
Stacey, a repeat customer, wanted a loveseat for her daughter’s bedroom. She had space constraints and needed us to change several dimensions in order for the loveseat to fit. We started with our Crawford style frame to make the needed dimension changes. Finished dimensions of her custom loveseat are: 58” overall length; 29” overall depth; 30” frame height. We reduced the arm width of our Crawford style to 2.5”. Stacey changed the back cushion style to our Marquis scattered backs and chose our fiber-down cushion package. The 2” tapered wood feet are natural finish. Her fabric choice was Microdenier Baltimore Cherry Blossom.
Sandy G.
Sandy and her husband were building a mountain home in North Carolina and had a room that was very difficult to find and place furniture that would encompass a fireplace and TV. She searched everywhere before finding us! She loved the options she found when looking at this custom inspiration page. Sandy called us and explained what she was looking for in terms of a “conversational” type sofa and then sent us a drawing of what she had in mind. We built two 75” 1-arm curving sofas and based the frame off our Roth sectional style. She wanted our Crawford style bordered back cushions, making the overall height about 37”. Sandy chose our poly back cushions and our standard seat cushions. Her fabric choices were Microfibre Hyatt Walnut for the frame and Special Request fabric M6569 5374 Ottoman for the seat and back cushions. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 150”.

Melissa and Eric
Melissa and Eric wanted new chairs for their dining room table. They liked our Whitney style welted border Parsons Chairs with exposed wood legs in mahogany finish and asked us to make the top of the back of the chairs straight (vs. the arc or curve). They also wanted to be able to change the look of their chairs with slipcovers, but wanted us to make a slight variation in our slipcover style and showed us a photo of one they liked. They chose Sunbrella Canvas White as the fabric covering and Sunbrella Sailcloth Salt for the slipcovers.
Ben and Kelly
Ben and Kelly sent us an e-mail asking if we could build a double-sided (sociable) sofa in one of our styles. We told them we could and that we would just need to know 1) which style they liked, and 2) if they had a large enough entryway to get a BIG sofa into their home. They selected our Hughes sofa style, Chenille Erie as their fabric covering, and our fiber-down cushion package. The Hughes style double-sided sofa has an overall depth of 72”.
Kathy and Mike
Kathy and Mike had a large family room to furnish. They had a rug in the room with multiple bright colors and they wanted to incorporate those colors into in the sectional design. They have three boys and wanted to be sure to choose a “performance” fabric (durable and easy to clean with soap and water) and cushions that would be more apt to withstand the rough and tumble play of their children. They selected our standard seat cushions and poly back cushions. They liked our Roth style sectional but preferred our taller bordered box back cushions (middle backs of our Crawford style) which increased the overall height to 37”. They wanted both chaises to have square front ends and be 65” in overall depth. To make their guests feel like they are sleeping in their own bed, they upgraded to our AirDream mattress. Finished dimensions of their 7-piece sectional (L to R) are 192” x 204.5”. Kathy and Mike selected Microfibre Fairview Denim for the fabric covering and used Microdenier Baltimore Aubergine, Forest, Sunshine and Red for their optional contrasting throw pillows with fiber-down fill. Their custom storage ottomans are 45” x 45”.
Deb
Deb has a peculiarly shaped room where standard size sofas would obstruct the flow and traffic pattern of the room. She came to us after having no luck finding what she needed in stores. Deb liked our Marquis style (without the skirt) and wanted the sofas to be 78” in overall length. She wanted to use dark green leather, so we sent her a sample of our Caprone leather which is long wearing, full grain protected and aniline dyed. The extra finish ensures overall color consistency, still displaying the leather’s beauty and natural characteristics. Deb chose our standard seat cushions and the fiber-down option for her back cushions and throw pillows.
Mairi
Mairi saw Elaine’s custom creation on this same page and knew she wanted that particular sectional style for her home (please read Elaine’s story below). However, she needed a different configuration and different finished dimensions to fit her space. Her custom Roth 3-piece sectional includes a LF loveseat, corner chair, and RF sofa. She upgraded her free ottoman to be storage. Mairi selected our fiber-down seat cushions and increased the border size to 5” (adding thickness to the cushions). Her poly with fiber wrap back cushions offer added support. She added (2) 18” x 18” throw pillows with fiber-down fill. Finished dimensions are 84” x 115.5”. Sultry Suede Silversage was her fabric choice.
Alden
Alden converted a small office room into an exercise room and installed a large flat screen. Because of the room’s proximity to the kitchen, it was the favorite place for her husband and kids to watch TV – in spite of its small size. Her husband was unhappy with the chairs they had in the room, so they looked for a small sectional, but to no avail. Nothing would fit their small space. Thank goodness they found us! We asked the measurements of the space they had to fill, and we modified our frames to perfectly fit their space. They chose our Crawford sectional style and we added 5.5” to the length of each armless chair. To better fit under a window, we lowered the frame height to 30”. Alden requested our firmer poly back cushions and extra firm seat cushions. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 66” x 66”. Fabric choice is Microfibre Bromley Cherry.
Libby
Libby is a repeat customer who ordered a Roth sectional from us in 2004. She was ready to redecorate another room and came back to us for a second sectional. This time she wanted a Crawford style with a skirt. She fell in love with our Microfibre Bromley Chocolate fabric and decided to use a different fabric for the storage ottoman lid. She participated in our C.O.M. program for that fabric. Her 3-piece custom Crawford sectional consists of a LF loveseat, corner chair, and RF queen sleeper. Finished dimensions are 93.5” x 113.5”.
Katy
Katy was expecting her first child and wanted a comfortable swivel-glider and ottoman for the baby’s room. She liked our Hughes style, so we modified the chair frame to accept the swivel-glider mechanism. Her custom size ottoman is 28” (length) x 20” (depth). Katy selected Sunbrella Canvas Red as the fabric covering and participated in our C.O.M. program by sending us Gros-Grain ribbon for her decorative design.
DeeAnn
Deeann was ready to replace her old sofa and loveseat and wanted to try a sectional in the space. Deeann’s 91 lb. dog frequently shares the sofa with her so she wanted to increase the seat depth an inch or so. We added 1.5” of seat depth (making it 23.5”) which increased the overall depth to 37”. She also added bun feet, increased the border size of her seat cushions to 5” and chose our fiber down option for the seat cushions only. Deeann wanted a custom size storage ottoman, with rolling casters, large enough that she could use a table when needed and as a place to store blankets and other items. Her custom Roth 3-piece sectional consists of a LF loveseat, corner chair, RF loveseat and (2) ottomans. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 95” x 95”. Fabric choice is Microfibre Hyatt Denim with contrasting welt in Hyatt Scarlet.
Matt and Kortney
Matt and Kortney had experienced sinuous spring seating system failure of furniture built by another manufacturer (see construction quality) and wanted the quality of eight-way, hand tied seating system which is our standard construction. They liked our Roth style, but wanted some customizations. They wanted to add some length to the RF loveseat (making it 72. 5”), add 1.5” of seat depth, add a skirt, increase the seat cushion border to 5” and use our poly back cushions – the cushion changes were for added support. Their custom Roth sectional consists of a LF loveseat, corner wedge, RF loveseat and (2) ottomans. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 103.5” x 118.5”. Fabric choice is Microfibre Fairview Taupe.
Elaine
Elaine liked our Eliot style which we offer in our stand alone collection, but she wanted a sectional. She thought the Eliot style was a “classic design” that would last forever. So, we told her that we could modify our Roth style sectional to look very close to our Eliot style. Modifications to our Roth style included changing the arm style and arm height (to 21.5”), insetting each arm to allow for T-seat cushions, changing to bordered T-backs, and adding a 6.5” kick-pleat skirt. Elaine increased the border size of the seat cushions to 5” and selected our poly back cushions for support. Her custom Roth sectional includes a LF sofa, corner chair and RF loveseat. Finished dimensions are 125.5” x 93.5”. Microdenier Baltimore Cocoa was her fabric choice.
Kid’s Quest
Kid’s Quest has been our customer for a number of years. They offer supervised hourly child care at various casinos across the country. As you can imagine, they need furniture that can stand up to rough and tumble kids play. We are showing just a few examples of furniture we have built for them. Their décor includes vibrant colors and they use a special vinyl/pleather for the upholstery. The components shown are a 76” ottoman/bench, (2) Hall style corner wedges with rounded fronts and poly back cushions, (1) Hall style corner wedge with a rounded front in a tight back style and a Hall style 2-arm loveseat with poly back cushions.
Karla and Ed
Karla and Ed were renovating their newly purchased home and looking for a new sofa, chair and ottoman. They learned about 8-way hand tied furniture and wanted the quality construction that we offer. (Note: this quality construction is not found at the big box retailers or anywhere furniture is imported). Ed is an architect and likes the angular details of the Arts & Crafts style. They started with our Crawford style, but wanted to make several changes. They wanted the arms to be “chunkier”, so we increased the arm width to 6”. They wanted their sofa to be 96” in length and have 2 seat cushions and 2 back cushions. For added support in the seat and back cushions, they increased the border size of their seat cushions to 5” (adding thickness to the seat cushions) and chose our poly back cushions. Further custom changes included reducing the frame height to 29”, reducing the overall height to 33.5”, reducing the arm height to 23” and increasing the seat depth by 1” making the seat depth 22.5”. Our Microdenier Baltimore fabric was selected for its durability and ease of cleaning and gentle shade of the Cocoa color would not overpower their cozy bungalow living room. Their custom storage ottoman is 34” x 25”.
Dave and Judy
Dave and Judy had just completed their “final resting home” after moving 14 times in the past 30 years with the Air Force. Finally, they could decorate as they pleased! Judy found the perfect fabric and then the perfect loveseat inspiration in a design magazine. Judy scanned the image of the loveseat and sent it to us via e-mail. We told her that we could certainly build a similar design using her fabric. They wanted two loveseats and positioned them so that guests and family would be comfortable enjoying the view of their small vineyard and Mt. Hood. Their custom loveseats are 60” in length. Judy participated in our C.O.M. program for her fabric selection.
Table Mountain Inn
Table Mountain Inn located in Golden, Colorado wanted to replace the queen sleepers in their executive suites. Amber contacted us after discovering our website because they needed furniture that would hold up over time and provide the needed comfort for guests. They reviewed this custom inspiration page extensively and asked us to build a sleeper style that incorporated several concepts from various styles. Specifically, they wanted the arm style of Tressa, a “tight back style” like Valerie, bun feet like Linda and a 2-seat cushion version like Laura. We started with our Roth style frame and made the custom adjustments mentioned, including increasing the seat cushion borders to 5”. They upgraded all six sleepers (only showing two in the photo above) with our AirDream mattress. They participated in our C.O.M. program for their fabric selection. The Table Mountain Inn looks like a wonderful place to stay when you plan to visit the Rockies: www.tablemountaininn.com.
Dr. Toth
Dr. Toth was furnishing two small rooms in his medical facility for out-of-town patients that needed to spend a few days while undergoing treatment. Since space was an issue in the small rooms, the sleepers could be no longer than 67”. Dr. Toth liked our Hall style, so we decreased the arm width by 1.5” (making the new arms 3.5” in width). This small custom adjustment made the 2-arm sleeper 67” in length - a perfect fit! To make his patients as comfortable as possible, he upgraded to our AirDream mattress for both sleepers. His fabric choice was Microfibre Bromley Cherry.
Denise and Erik
Denise and Erik were looking for quality constructed sectional and found our website. The liked our Byron style, but wanted to add nailheads as a decorative option. We applied our Old Gold ‘Z’ finish nailheads around the arm facings and around the front border of the components. Fabric covering is Special Request M7574 5401 Rhubarb. Their Byron style sectional consists of a LF loveseat, corner wedge, and a RF chair. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 103.5” x 78.5”.
Jenn
Jenn was shopping for a sofa and (2) chairs for her new home after having a bad experience with a local retailer (in Florida). She called and asked if we could manufacture the Marquis style with fan pleated arms. Jenn wanted a fan pleated arm style to help “dress up” the furniture for a more formal look. She chose our Chenille Erie Rye as her fabric covering.
Sue
Sue was helping her dad (Carl) find a sectional for his home. He wanted a traditional style, and liked our Roth, with some changes. Sue asked us to add a skirt and change the rounded back cushions to a bordered back style (like on our Yeats style). Her father wanted supportive back cushions, so she chose our poly back cushion package which is our firmest back cushion option, however, the cushions hold their shape very well. For added support and to raise the seat height 1”, we increased the seat cushion borders to 5” (vs. 4”). Fabric color was very important for matching other décor in the room and our Twill Plus Crystal Blue was perfect for the sectional and the (3) 16” throw pillows. Twill Plus Medium Blue was selected for the free ottoman which will be used in another room of the home. Carl’s custom Roth sectional consists of a LF chair, curved corner wedge, and a RF loveseat. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 78.5” x 103.5”.
Erika
Erika, a NY designer, wanted to place two sofas, facing each other, in her client’s living room. One would face a beautiful view of a lake in South Jersey, but at the same time, would give its back to the main entrance. She looked for something that didn’t have a high back, but had a hard time finding something less bulky, with clean lines, and within the client’s budget. She found an image in a magazine of the perfect sofa with a cut out back, but didn’t like the style of the arms. She sent the photo to us and described the style of arms she wanted. We built the two sofas that she envisioned at an affordable price. Erika participated in our C.O.M. program for her fabric selection.
Keri
Keri and her husband were building a home and wanted new furniture for two of the rooms. Keri liked our Roth sectional style and paired a 1-arm chaise with a 1-arm queen sleeper (upgrading to the AirDream mattress). She wanted to change the LF chaise to have a square front/end with an overall depth of 65”. She used Microfibre Bromley Apple and her contrasting welt is Microfibre Hyatt Spa. Finished dimensions of her 2-piece sectional are (L to R): 65” (depth of chaise) x 111”. She added (2) 16” x 16” throw pillows in Microfibre Chandon Ocean. She ordered a Brooke loveseat and a custom Brooke ottoman using Microdenier Baltimore Coffee. Her custom sized Brooke ottoman is 48” in overall length.
Joanne
Joanne wanted a sleeper for occasional guests, but didn't have the need for a chair or a sofa. She asked us to build a bench that would house the sleeper mechanism and mattress. Joanne’s bench is 43" L x 35.5" D x 18.5" H. The single size mattress is 33" W x 72" D. Her bench serves as extra seating when needed and as a sleeper for company. She participated in our C.O.M. program where the customer buys the fabric and we adjust our price quote by subtracting out our embedded cost of fabric. Note: we can also build a bench to house a twin size mattress which would measure 41” W x 72”. The dimensions of the bench to house the twin size mechanism would be 43" L x 35.5" D x 18.5" H.
Debi
Debi and her husband are empty nesters and “on a lark” decided to list their home with a friend who is a realtor. Their house sold in three weeks (yikes!) and they were out in six weeks. They gave the buyers much of their furniture as they really wanted new furniture anyway. Debi “googled us” and loved our website. She liked our Bishop style sofa, but needed some custom changes including increasing the length to 104” and using (4) seat and (4) back cushions. Debi mentioned that her husband was a “big guy” (was a body guard for Sting) and needed extra support. We suggested our Ultra Support Package which includes a reinforced frame and an additional 2” of seat cushion – which changes the standard 4” seat cushion borders to 6” seat cushion borders. We also increased the overall height from 33.5” to 37” and increased the skirt height to 8”. They chose our poly back cushion option and used Sultry Suede Cappuccino as their fabric choice.
Kim and Bob
Kim and Bob built a new home and wanted new furniture for the children’s play room and a breakfast nook. Kim liked our Roth style sectional for the play room and wanted to incorporate an armless sleeper (with AirDream mattress) between two 74” “cuddler” style components. Kim liked the square bordered back style cushions and chose our poly back cushion option. Kim added 2” tapered wood feet, mahogany finish. The 3-piece sectional is 211” in overall length and has Sultry Suede Buff as the fabric covering. Kim made some custom modifications for her English style loveseat for the breakfast nook. She asked us to square the corners of the T-back cushions, leave off the skirt and modify the frame to accept Turned legs with Brass Ferrel Casters on the front while using tapered flare feet on the back. Fabric choice was Sunbrella Sailcloth Salt.
Tracy
Tracy, a designer in New York, had previously ordered a custom sectional from us for one of her clients and they loved it! When she began designing another room in their house and needed a special size and configuration for the sofa, she didn't think twice about where she was going to order it. Her custom sofa sits against a bank of windows and into a corner where there are a set of french doors to the right. Tracy knew that she couldn’t find a sofa and chair that would fit in the room without blocking the french doors, so she wanted to combine our 1-arm Crawford style sofa with a curved corner wedge. To fit the space exactly, we decreased the length on her LF sofa. Her clients can now snuggle on the couch without it being in the way! She chose Sultry Suede Garnet for the body of the sofa as red is an accent color that she used throughout their house. Tracy participated in our C.O.M. program for the cushion fabric which worked so well with the Sultry Suede Garnet and with the rug she ordered for them. The C.O.M. fabric she used for the ottoman and the throw pillows adds a bit of whimsy and “country-ish” look to the set and pulls the black out of the rug and wrought iron furniture in the room. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 123" x 45.5".
Lenny
Lenny and his wife moved into a new house and needed a sofa that was a little more formal than their current one. His wife has always wanted an off white sofa. Unfortunately, they could never agree on the color because they have two kids (5 yrs and 1 yr) and Lenny didn't think a white sofa would work for the family. A friend told them about Sunbrella fabric (how it cleans easily with soap and water and will not fade in the sun), so they asked for several swatches. They really liked the material, so Lenny agreed to go with white. When looking at our website, they saw that modifications to our styles could be made so they sent us a link/photo of a style they liked. We modified our Crawford style sofa to closely resemble what they showed us. Their 89" 2-arm modified Crawford style sofa has 5" seat cushion borders and our fiber-down cushion package. They chose Sunbrella Sailcloth Shell as the fabric covering.
Kim
Kim built a new house on the property where she has lived for 14 years. She came to us for furnishing several rooms. For her formal living room, Kim wanted two 62" loveseats in a different style and showed us a photo to see if we would build something similar. She chose special request fabrics M7468 5230 Amber and M7466 5230 Amber for the custom tight-back loveseats. We used 8" turned post legs. The Brooke style sofa, loveseat, chair and (1) storage ottoman will go in her family room. Her fabric selections for those pieces were special request fabrics Finlay Garden and Abington Elm. The remaining chair and storage ottoman will be used in her master bedroom. Kim is currently in Interior Design school. We wish her much success and look forward to working with her after graduation! View close up photos.
Lynn
Lynn has a very small living room in her 1920 bungalow home. She wanted to fill a small space that involved making an L shape along two walls. Lynn hoped to incorporate storage and a sleeper into the design. Her custom 2-piece Byron sectional consists of a 21" armless chair/ottoman with storage and a 63" armless full-size sleeper. We made a second back cushion (not pictured above) for the armless chair/ottoman, which covered the depth of the chair, to be used against the wall (view photo in home). Lynn selected our fiber down cushion package and Sultry Suede Malt as her fabric covering. She upgraded to the new AirDream mattress. Finished dimensions of her sectional are (L to R): 44" (depth of chair) x 84".
Tressa
Tressa, a designer, was responsible for decorating and furnishing a new Entertainment Center being built in Eastern North Carolina. She came to us for her furniture needs. Tressa liked our Roth style (made the change to square bordered back cushions) and ordered a variety of components. Her order consisted of (4) 2-arm 75" daybeds in Microfibre Bromley Barn fabric, (4) armless chairs in Microfibre Fairview Chamois and C.O.M., (4) 2-arm chairs in Microdenier Baltimore Navy, and (2) 2-piece sectionals in Microdenier Baltimore Navy.
Lisa
Lisa needed a large sectional for her den and liked our Roth style, but wanted some custom changes. She wanted to change the arm style to our Kingsley style, use multiple fabrics, increase the border size of the seat cushions to 5" and use wood tapered feet. Her custom 5-piece Roth sectional consists of a LF recliner, armless loveseat, corner chair, armless loveseat and a RF chaise. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 122" x 121.5". Lisa upgraded her free ottoman to be storage. She used a combination of Microdenier Baltimore Navy and C.O.M. as her fabric choices.
Amy
Amy was in the process of decorating her sunroom and wanted a queen sleeper sofa for overnight guests. She selected a fabric from a local fabric store for her curtains and wanted to use the same bright and cheerful fabric for her sleeper, so she participated in our C.O.M. program. Amy selected our Marquis style sleeper and increased the border size of her seat cushions (from a 4" border to a 5" border). She upgraded to our fiber down cushion package.
Kathy S.
Kathy is just finishing building a new beach house in Avalon, NJ. She came to us for her furniture needs. She really liked the Sunbrella fabric because of its durability, ease of cleaning and resistance to fading in exposed sunlight. Her 2-piece Crawford sectional consists of a LF full-size sleeper and a custom (rounded end) RF chaise in Sunbrella Canvas Navy, with contrasting welt in Sunbrella Canvas White. Her Hughes queen-size sleeper uses Sunbrella Flagship Persimmon, with contrasting welt in Sunbrella Canvas Shell. The (4) English style chairs have Sunbrella Canvas White as the fabric covering. Kathy upgraded to the AirDream mattress for both sleepers.
Valerie
Valerie, an architect, was in charge of building and furnishing her husband's new medical office. She previously ordered our furniture for their home and wanted to come back to us for the office furniture. She wanted a contemporary style and showed us a photo of a style she liked. Valerie ordered (1) sofa and (4) chairs. The style is a tight-back, loose seat cushion. We added 4" tapered wood feet, mahogany finish. Valerie participated in our C.O.M. program and used two different (complementary) fabrics for her collection. View close up of a chair.
Helen
Helen, a designer, wanted a settee for a client's foyer. She sent us a photo (link) to show us the style she liked. We told her we could make something similar. The settee has a tight back, and a loose fiber down seat cushion with a 3" topstitched border (no welt), and a 9" kick-pleat skirt. We applied 5/8" Hammered Oxford finish nail heads around the arm facings. Finished dimensions: 60" length x 28" depth x 36" height; arm height is 29". Helen provided fabric for us to use by participating in our C.O.M. program.
Jan and Jim
Jan and Jim have a 2003 Gulfstream Yellowstone motorhome. Each year they visit the big RV show in their hometown to see changes and updates of new styles. They decided to make some renovations to their Gulfstream instead of paying $325,000 for a new motorhome. They knew they needed custom sized furniture to fit their space, so they searched the Internet and found us! We talked about their space restrictions and asked them to take some measurements for us. They wanted our sectional style recliners that only need 2" of space from the wall to operate. A small storage table/ottoman was added between the two recliners. The finished dimensions of their Hall style LF recliner, 9" storage table/ottoman, and RF recliner is 70". Fabric choice was chenille Naples Willow. We increased the seat cushion borders to 5" and they added our fiber down seat cushion option.
Randy
Randy and his wife wanted a large leather sectional that would provide plenty of seating for their family. They liked our Roth style, but wanted to make some changes, including changing the back cushion style to our bordered T-back style. They also had some specific dimensions to meet, so we made adjustments to the lengths of several components and the overall depth of the LF chaise. Their 6-piece sectional consists of a LF chaise, armless chair, armless queen sleeper (upgraded to our AirDream mattress), armless chair, corner wedge, RF sofa and (5) storage ottomans. Finished dimensions are (L to Center to R): 67" (overall depth of chaise) x 191.5" x 120". The chose our Caprone leather which is long wearing, full grain protected and aniline dyed. View sectional without ottomans
Jay
Jay and his wife wanted banquet/dining seating and had specific dimensions that needed to be met. They asked us to build custom bench style seating for them. We started with our Yeats style frame and made some modifications for their 2-piece sectional. They needed the sectional length to be (L to R) 86" x 120" and an overall depth of 30" in order to fit the space. They opted for 5" seat cushion borders and poly with fiber wrap back cushions. We took almost all the pitch out of the back frame so the back cushion sits up straight for the banquet seating. They have 5" tapered wood feet, mahogany stain. Jay participated in our C.O.M. program for the seat cushion fabric and used Microfibre Fairview Lavender for the rest of his sectional.
David A.
David was looking for American made furniture when he found us on the Internet! He wanted to support our economy versus the economy of another country (thank you, David!). He liked our "simple" website and noticed our furniture is made using the finest construction methods and with excellent attention to detail. After measuring their space and determining that our standard component lengths would not work, they ask for some customizations. Their 2-piece Byron style sectional consists of a LF loveseat and a custom 32" RF chaise with a squared off front end. They added (3) Bishop style arm pillows and (3) 18" throw pillows. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 90" x 51" (depth of the chaise). David wanted a custom size storage ottoman to "help" in the compact room. The custom storage ottoman is approximately 48" length x 15.5" depth. Fabric covering is Special Request Caraway 0381 Blue.
Melissa C.
Melissa wanted a loveseat sleeper and a regular loveseat to accommodate out of town guests in the absence of a guest room. She wanted the two loveseats to be the same size, so we customized the length of the non-sleeper to be the same length as the sleeper. She upgraded to the new AirDream mattress and opted for fiber-down back cushions so her folks would be extra comfy when they came to visit. They chose the Brooke style ottoman to go with their Marquis style furniture as they wanted to "open things up a little" with some exposed wood legs. The ottoman will serve as a coffee table, so they wanted it to be a little larger and changed the size to be 25" x 40" and raised the height to 17". They decided on Sunbrella Canvas Camel as the upholstery fabric because it's durable, easy to clean, and fade resistant. After placing the order, Melissa found a line of "made to order" Sunbrella fabric and fell in love with the design and vibrant colors. She decided to participate in our C.O.M. program and have slipcovers made using that "family" of fabrics. Now, with the slipcovers, she in essence has two sets of new loveseats and can change the look of her furniture anytime she chooses!
Deborah
Deborah has a small formal living room and wanted seating on each side of a black marble fireplace. She wanted to keep the look cozy and allow space for other furniture and chose our Bishop style loveseats. Deborah liked the square edges that complemented moldings in the room and chose white fabric as a clean pallet allowing for any color to be used now or in the future. She loved the durability and cleanability of our Microdenier fabrics. Deborah asked for a extra "crown" on her fiber down seat cushions. We added about 4" to the back cushion height.
Chad
Chad, a previous customer, called to ask if we had ever built a custom storage ottoman with cup holders incorporated in the lid. While it had been our intentions to offer this as an option on our website, we just had not done it! Chad was interested in a custom size: 36" (length) x 25 (depth)" x 18.5" (height). The inside storage compartment is 33" x 22". The (4) stainless steel cup holders are removable for cleaning. The fabric covering is our Microdenier Coffee. We plan to offer this cup holder option on our website very soon!
Linda
Linda wanted to maximize seating in her family media room (10' x 15') with a contemporary style sectional. She chose our Roth style and opted for bordered box style back cushions (Crawford style back cushions - making the overall height 37"). To meet her space requirements, we added 11" in length to our standard armless chair and subtracted 6" from our standard armless sofa. She added bun feet (mahogany finish) for a traditional touch. Because grandchildren and her King Charles Cavalier spaniel will be guests on the sectional, Linda selected one of our performance fabrics, Microfibre Hyatt Tan. Our performance fabrics (Microfibre, Sultry Suede, Microdenier, and Sunbrella) are durable and easy to clean with soap and water. She added (2) 18" x 18" throw pillows - Microfibre Hyatt Cream and Sultry Suede Cappacino. The finished dimensions of her 3-piece sectional are (L to R): 71.5" x 104.5".
Brian and Kristin
Brian and Kristin recently purchased their dream home. They just installed a 120 inch home theater system and wanted an extra large black sectional with plenty of seating that would not distract from the movie screen. They chose single seat cushions so they could watch the screen in a horizontal position and not have that typical "couch feeling" when lying down (three seat cushions). They included a sleeper sofa in the center component for overnight guests. They chose square, bordered back cushions for their Roth sectional and bun feet for a stylish look. Their 5-piece sectional consists of (2) armless sofa's, (2) corner wedge's and (1) armless queen sleeper. They added an extra ottoman to their order. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 121" x 162" x 121". Fabric choice was Microdenier Velvet Baltimore Black.
Nathan and Cari
Nathan and Cari were finishing the downstairs of their home following the arrival of their new baby. The plan is to use the downstairs for a family room and primary place for watching TV. They needed a sectional large enough for friends and their growing family. They chose our Roth style and added an extra inch to the seat cushion border size - making it 5" vs. our standard 4". We customized the Roth chaise, making it a squared off end vs. rounded end and 72" in overall depth. Their 4-piece Roth sectional consists of a LF sofa, corner chair, armless sofa and RF chaise. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 118" x 139.5". They chose Sunbrella Canvas Bay Brown for the sectional and optional throw pillows.
Mary B.
Mary inherited her childhood home, a 1950’s ranch house, and wanted her decor to reflect the mid-century modern style of the period. She needed comfortable seating for her newly constructed TV room - a narrow area that was formerly an attached garage. Most of her home’s furnishings are authentic vintage pieces. However, locating a 50-year-old sectional in mint condition proved to be impossible, as was finding new vintage-styled furniture that would fit her limited space. While searching the internet in frustration one day, Mary happened upon our website. Thus began her venture into creating the perfect retro sectional for her home. Using our Bishop sofa as inspiration, she asked us to remove the skirting and construct the ensemble to her exact measurements. The result was a truly atomic “mini” sectional that nestles into her space requirements perfectly. She had us special order the cone feet, and chose Microfibre Funky Cremini fabric to complete the vintage look.
Donna R.
Donna designed her sectional for the upstairs loft, which is home to their computer center, TV and game area. The loft is a long narrow area that runs along one wall - around the corner - and under the front windows. She wanted to maximize the seating area for her kids, as well as allow them a comfortable place to lay around and watch TV, play or chat. Because one end of the sectional would be close to the entertainment center, she elected for that end to be "open" (no arm) which would soften the look. Her custom Roth style sectional(with Crawford center back cushions for added overall height) includes a 50" armless loveseat with stump end, a corner wedge, a 75.5" armless sofa, a RF recliner and an ottoman. She chose our fiber-down cushion option package for all pieces except for the recliner (our suggestion). The finished dimensions are 95.5" x 154.5". Sultry Suede Buckskin is her fabric covering.
Kim and Jason
Kim and Jason needed a sectional that would fit into a specific spot in the living room of their 1940s cottage, while maximizing seating for viewing of the very modern TV. They also wanted something modular and flexible that would work in easily in other configurations or other homes. After having no luck at local stores that catered to McMansion-sized furniture, they decided to go custom! They chose two armless chairs and two corner chairs to make the sectional. They altered the Roth style to have bordered box back cushions and upgraded to poly with fiber wrap for a crisp modern look. They also lengthened the (2) armless chairs to be the same dimensions at the corner chairs (35.5”x35.5”); this fit the space perfectly and reinforced the modular idea. The fabric is Sunbrella Sailcloth Shell. Note: Kim and Jason configured the sectional in their home differently than our photo shows - see furniture in their home.
Mary Ann
Mary Ann wanted a sectional, but had some special needs to consider. She needed a lift chair to be part of her sectional. We can provide an electric reclining lift chair as a sectional component. Her 3-piece Crawford style sectional consists of an armless chaise, armless loveseat and a RF electric reclining lift chair. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 56" (overall depth of chaise) x 111.5". She opted for our poly back cushions and increased the border size of her seat cushions to 5" (which adds thickness to the seat cushions). Her fabric choice was Sunbrella Linen Basil. View photo of electric reclining lift chair in fully reclined position.
Elizabeth
Elizabeth had seen sofa/chaise combinations in some catalogs and thought that combination was a good way of providing seating near their fireplace. Most combinations they saw were too wide for their space - it would have made it impossible to walk from the living room to the dining room. Elizabeth found our website and noticed that the Crawford 1-arm full size sleeper was the perfect length, but she didn't need sleeper! So, we made her a custom 65" 1-arm loveseat to pair with our 1-arm chaise. The finished dimensions of her Crawford style 2-piece sectional are (L to R): 95" x 56" (depth of chaise). She chose our Sultry Suede fabric for its durability and ease of cleaning. Color choices were Red for the sectional and Chocolate for the added throw pillows.
Eleanor
Eleanor was redecorating her family room and wanted a "fun" sectional style for the room. She fell in love with our Microfibre Chandon Brandy fabric and knew the durability and ease of cleaning of Microfibre would be perfect for her family (note: our Microfibre, Sultry Suede, Microdenier Velvet, and Sunbrella fabrics are all "performance" fabrics). Eleanor had some dimension requirements that needed to be met, so we helped her design the perfect sectional for the space. She opted for our Roth style sectional, but wanted to change the back cushion style to what we use on our Byron style (knife-edge cushions). Her 3-piece sectional consists of a 54.5" Armless Loveseat with LF Stump End, a 35.5" x 35.5" corner chair, and an Armless Queen Sleeper Sofa. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 90" x 106.5". Eleanor upgraded to our AirDream mattress, our fiber-down cushion package and to our storage ottoman.
Jonathan and Cindy
Jonathan and Cindy were interested in finding furniture for their family room that would accommodate the adults and their two teenage boys. The family room has a bay picture window and window seat that looks out onto a lake, thus they wanted a stump end component so the view out the window would not be blocked. Their Roth style 3-piece sectional consists of a custom 53" armless loveseat (with stump end on the left-facing end), a 35.5" x 35.5" corner chair and a 58" RF loveseat. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 87.5" x 93.5". They upgraded their free ottoman to storage and chose Microfibre Bromley Latte as the fabric.
Melissa
Melissa, a designer, was working with a client that wanted a leather loveseat sleeper using our AirDream mattress. She liked our Hall sectional style (2 arms) and asked for multiple leather application to be used. Hair-on-Hide was used for the arms, frame seat, in-back and out-back. Caprone Leather was used for the back cushions, seat cushions and seat flap. Melissa added 2" tapered wood feet. (note: photo left un-cropped so details of the "hair" on the Hair-on-Hide can be seen)
Karin
Karin wanted a contemporary style sectional for her basement. However, she needed to be sure it would fit down the stairs and fit the space she had available. She sent us a rough schematic of her basement stairs, with measurements, and we assisted in her selection of style and components. Karin decided on a Roth style sectional with bordered box style back cushions. She wanted single seat cushions on her armless sofas and two back cushions (option of poly back cushions). Karin wanted 5" tapered wood feet, mahogany finish, on the sectional components and hooded casters on her ottoman. Her Roth style sectional consists of a custom length 72.5" armless sofa, corner chair, and a custom length 72.5" armless sofa. The finished dimensions are (L to R): 108" x 108". Her fabric choice was Microfibre Fairview Doeskin.
Rebecca M.
Rebecca was looking for a small sectional and liked our Roth style, but wanted to make several changes. She asked for the back cushions to be bordered, box style and did not want welt applied on the back or seat cushions. Rebecca asked for mahogany stain bun feet and used Special Request fabric M6232B Chinchilla. She choose to upgrade the free ottoman to a storage ottoman (paying the cost difference of the two). Rebecca opted for our fiber down seat cushions and standard back cushions. Her sectional consists of a LF loveseat, corner chair and RF chair. The finished dimensions are (L to R): 93.5" x 68.5".
Kevin and Annie
Kevin and Annie's home is somewhat craftsman style and somewhat oriental. The living room is not huge, but they wanted a sectional that would fit their family of four - with plenty of stretching room (not to mention guests). They wanted large ottomans (48" length x 36" depth x 18.5" high) that would store throws, games and magazines to keep the place neat. The colors they chose are reflective of the craftsman era, and will go beautifully with the rug they purchased. Their 4-piece Crawford sectional consists of a LF sofa, armless sofa, corner chair, and RF sofa. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 191" x 115.5". They chose Sultry Suede Lichen for the sectional and multiple Microfibre fabrics for the storage ottomans and throw pillows. View photo of furniture in home.
Cary
Cary has an older home with big windows and a long, thin living/dining room. She wanted to create a cozy seating arrangement, working with the shape of the room and location of the windows, yet separate the living area from the dining area. She also had a fireplace to consider - and wanted the sectional to have an "open feel" so both rooms could enjoy the fire. The stump-end portion of the sectional will divide the living room from the dining room. Cary will use her ottoman under one of the large windows, offering another seat as needed without blocking the view. Her Byron style sectional consists of a 51.5" LF loveseat and a 90" armless sofa w/ RF stump end & LF return. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 90" x 90". Cary increased the seat depth to 25" (+ 3"). Her fabric choice was special request fabric Sendak Celery and she opted for our fiber down cushion package.
Fred
Fred liked our Hughes style loveseat, but wanted to change the back cushions to our bordered, box style. He found a Sunbrella fabric that he liked and we were able to purchase it for use on his loveseat. Fred also added contrasting welt. His fabric choice was Sunbrella Mason Sky Blue and the contrasting welt is Sunbrella Canvas White. Note: in some cases we can purchase other Sunbrella fabrics that are not offered on our website. However, we cannot provide swatches unless the fabric is on our website. If you are interested in a Sunbrella fabric that is not offered on our website, please let us know the name and/or number associated with the fabric and the pieces of furniture you plan to order. With this information (fabric & furniture) we can check the availability of the fabric and, if available and cost effective, offer you a quote for your furniture using that fabric. Otherwise, you are welcome to purchase the fabric yourself and participate in our C.O.M. program.
Julie
Julie has a narrow living room which is in view from her kitchen. She liked our Crawford style sectional, but wanted to make some changes to accommodate her space and personal preferences. She increased the arm width 1.5" (to 6.5"), decreased the arm height by 2" (to 23"), increased the seat depth 1.5" (to 23") and decreased the overall height 2" (to 36"). Julie asked for 5" cushion borders, which increases the thickness of the cushions. She opted for fiber down seat cushions and poly/fiber/down back cushions (a custom option). She chose a black finish for her 2" tapered wood feet and Sunbrella Canvas Taupe as her fabric. Finished dimensions are (L to R): 87.5" x 87.5"
73" LF full-size sleeper with right-facing return and a 25" RF chair |

Shawn
Shawn needed to stage her condo in the Colorado mountains for a quicker sale. She had a very small wall and needed something to fit her space and allow for a perfect view of the mountains and the fireplace. Shawn liked our Hall sectional style, but our standard components were too long. We built a 2-piece sectional which includes a 73" LF full-size sleeper with right-facing return and a 25" RF chair. We decreased the arm widths to 3" (-2"). The finished dimensions are (L to R): 73.5" x 50". Shawn used our Caprone leather 0972 for the body of her sectional and Sultry Suede Fawn for the seat and back cushions. She upgraded to the AirDream mattress and changed the feet to 2" tapered wood - mahogany finish.
Allyson - Mt. Zion Methodist - Georgia
Allyson was in charge of purchasing new furniture for her church's youth room renovation project. Their Youth Center had burned last year in an unfortunate accident. They were in the process of reconfiguring their fellowship hall to be the Youth Center and wanted vibrant, modern fabrics to inspire and please the youth. They liked our Crawford style and we suggested the option of poly-filled back cushions which offer the most support. Their order consisted of (3) Crawford sectionals and (4) Crawford style chairs - all in coordinating Microfibre fabrics - Bromley Carrot, Bromley Azure, Bromley Apple and Chandon Ocean. See close up of chairs.
Patricia A.
Patricia liked our Crawford style sectional, but wanted a couple of changes. She wanted more support in both seat and back cushions. She opted for our poly back cushions and increased the seat cushion border to 5" (which adds thickness to the seat cushion). Patricia selected Microfibre Bromley Toast as her fabric. Her 2-piece sectional consists of a LF loveseat, RF chaise and (2) ottomans. Finished dimensions (L to R): 85" x 56" (depth of chaise).
Erin and Richard
Erin and Richard (repeat customers) wanted a couch for their new beach house and searched for a patterned fabric with earth tone color schemes. Special request fabric J5214 Leaf was perfect. They said they had a tricky space to fit a couch - they had a long back wall and a side wall that extended six feet - so adding a 1-arm chaise to a 1-arm sofa was a perfect solution. Now, they have a perfect view of the bay from their new 2-piece sectional. The sectional style is the Roth style with Crawford "center" bordered back cushions. To fit their space perfectly, we customized the length of the LF sofa to be 97" and the RF chaise was customized to be 60" in overall depth and to have a square end (vs. rounded). Finished dimensions (L to R): 130" x 60". They requested bun feet (fruitwood finish). Note the skilled flow match of the striped fabric.
Susan
Susan wanted a slipcovered sectional, but had a small space to fill. She had 115.5" on her left side and 61" of space for the right side. She liked our Crawford style and wanted to incorporate our corner wedge in the design. Extending the right side of our corner wedge to 61" was the ideal solution! Her 2-piece sectional consists of a 70" LF loveseat and a 45.5" x 61" custom corner wedge. Her custom sized ottoman is 36" x 25". Susan wanted us to add a 7" kick-pleat skirt to the slipcover. We upholstered her furniture using a base fabric (white plains cotton/poly blend - no welt applied). The slipcover fabric is Sunbrella Canvas Antique Beige - with contrasting welt in Sunbrella Canvas Camel. View custom corner wedge.
Cindy and Robert
Cindy and Robert have a long, but narrow, room which serves as an Audiovisual room. They wanted a sofa that would comfortably seat four people and liked our Kingsley arm style. They had spent a lot of time thinking about the perfect sofa and sent us a sketch of their ideas for custom design changes as well as fabric placement. Their request included (4) bordered, box style back cushions that have rounded/curved corners. They wanted the back cushion filling to be poly with a fiber wrap - the poly creates a firmer back cushion but will keep its shape longer. They chose our ultra support package which includes a re-enforced frame and an additional 2" of seat cushion (from a 4" seat cushion border to a 6" seat cushion border). We placed the bun feet 8" toward the back of the frame so the feet would sit on the customer's hardwood floor instead of their oriental dragon rug. They selected multiple Sunbrella Canvas fabrics and utilized contrasting welt on their sofa and optional throw pillows. The fabrics are Canvas Vellum and Canvas Coral. Photos above are with and without optional throw pillows.
Pat
Pat was decorating for her new home and was interested in a loveseat with a flared arm style. She wanted a skirt and custom bordered box style cushions that flared with the arms. Her custom loveseat includes 5" seat cushion borders (increases the thickness of the cushions) and (2) 16" throw pillows. Pat selected Microdenier Velvet Baltimore Brown Sugar as her fabric choice. View back of loveseat
Mike
Mike wanted a sectional for his living room (which he described as odd-shaped). He wanted to maximize seating and napping possibilities, and asked us to increase the seat depth by 1.5" on his custom Roth sectional with knife-edge (Byron style) back cushions. Mike liked the traditional look of a skirt, so we added a visible 7.5" kick-pleat skirt. He opted for our fiber down cushion package and ordered (6) throw pillows for his sectional. Mike wanted a fabric that was durable and easily cleaned as he and his dogs live on the lake! Mike's custom Roth sectional (with Byron style back cushions) consists of an 82.5" LF sofa and a 37" RF stump-end with return. Finished dimensions are 119.5" x 74" and the fabric is Sultry Suede Silversage. View back view of sectional.
Janet
Janet wanted a couple of matching sofas for her study, which doubles as a guest bedroom. She wanted to maximize the space in her room and found that "ready made" couches were too wide and just wouldn't work for the space. She worked with a designer who suggested she customize in order to have one of her sofas be a sleeper. Janet opted for topstitching detail instead of welt/piping (see close up photo). Her custom 2-arm Crawford queen sleeper and sofa are both 78" in length. She opted for 5" seat cushion borders (adds thickness to the cushion) and our fiber down cushion package. The fabric is Special Request fabric Hobbs 0105 Cornsilk.
Christine
Christine was looking for a sofa to put in her family room that was elegant, but kid friendly (wanted a dark color fabric). She liked our Eliot style, but wanted us to remove the skirt and add the spooled post legs as on our Brooke style. Her fabric is Special Request fabric Cervantes Espresso. Christine chose our standard cushion package.
Janice
Janice, a designer, wanted an Eliot chair for her customer and a custom built ottoman. The ottoman measures 42" (length) x 25" in (depth) x 18" (height). It's button-tufted and has a 4" front border. Janice wanted 8" tall, turned style - mahogany finish legs and Brass Ferrell casters. Janice provided her own fabric for us to use by participating in our C.O.M. program.
Nancy
Nancy lives in a 120 year old Victorian home with odd shaped, small rooms. She needed maximum seating for their family room, but all the sectionals they saw in the stores were way too big. Our method of offering sectional components that you choose to fit your space was perfect for Nancy. She liked our Roth style, but wanted to switch the back cushion style to bordered, box back style. She added a skirt to achieve the traditional style she wanted. Our corner wedge offered important leg room for her four boys! To add interest, Nancy used two different fabrics in the same tonal range on her sectional - Microfibre Bromley Latte on the seats and Microdenier Velvet Baltimore Coffee on all the rest. She choose to upgrade the free ottoman to storage to hide all the blankets used in the cold winter months.
Stephanie M.
Stephanie was looking for furniture for her living room and wanted armless chairs to provide more flexible seating in front of the fireplace. She wanted to add a skirt to the chairs, but wanted a longer skirt than our standard 7" kick pleat skirt to create a more tailored look. Stephanie chose our Roth style armless chairs with square bordered back cushions - and added a 10.5" kick pleat skirt. She has the fiber down cushion package and her fabric is Sunbrella Canvas Vellum.
Laura
Laura liked our Kingsley Queen Sleeper and wanted a storage ottoman that would cover the entire length of the sleeper seating area (seat width). Her custom storage ottoman is 68" long x 25" deep x 18" high. Laura had seen a Sunbrella fabric in a local retail store that she loved and gave us the fabric name/number. The fabric was Sunbrella Burma Cinnamon and was a "made to order" fabric requiring a six week wait. We ordered the fabric (we can order any Sunbrella fabric - but can only provide swatches of what we list on our website) and Laura now has her custom furniture in the fabric she wanted!
Brad
Brad, a designer in New York, was looking for furniture for his home. He wanted a queen sleeper, but with arms like our sectional corner chair. We modified our Crawford style and added corner chair style arms. He also chose a pair of Crawford armless chairs and a custom-sized Roth storage ottoman (21" length x 30" depth ). Brad opted for 5" seat cushion borders (adds thickness to the cushion) and chose our fiber down cushion package. His fabric is Microfibre Fairview Fern. View close up of sofa.
Stephanie S.
Stephanie was re-decorating her home in Arizona. Her rooms were spacious, so she could use larger furniture. Stephanie increased the length and overall depth of our Kingsley sofa making each sofa 120" in length and 27" in seat depth. She sent her own leather (C.O.L.) to use for the frames and selected our Chenille Austin Pecan for the cushions. She added nailhead trim around the arm panels and around the front border of the sofas. Stephanie made changes to our Marquis chair and a half (wanted fan-pleated arms, bun feet, increased length, an extra throw pillow) and used Special Request fabric M6694 Goldenrod for the cushions.
Ashley
Ashley and her husband are repeat customers. They were so pleased with their first experience with CarolinaChair (both the product and the service), they came back to us to furnish their den. Their goal in replacing the old furniture was to add extra seating to a relatively small room and to find upholstery, especially for the sofa, that would be kid-friendly. They chose the Hughes Queen Sleeper for its classic design and the pullout bed feature. It's upholstered in durable, easy to clean Sultry Suede fabric (Red). The relatively small size of the Brooke chairs allowed them to use a pair, rather than just one accent chair. She particularly liked the bun feet for a great styling detail. Ashley wanted a tufted cocktail ottoman rather than a traditional coffee table - feeling that it would be more versatile. Her custom ottoman is 30" L x 22" D, x 17.5" H and has 8" tall turned style legs - mahogany finish. She participated in our C.O.M. program for the chairs and ottoman.
Lin
Lin and her husband recently moved across the country and down-sized to a smaller home in Colorado ski country. Their living room is particularly small and situated in such a way that a smaller corner sofa seemed like it would look best, provide the best conversational angles, and maximize the seating capacity. However, there wasn't much space for the sofa's "corner" to wrap around because of a sliding glass door which they did not want to cover up. Lin began researching the internet and discovered us! When she spotted our corner wedge chair -- she immediately knew it was the answer! The wedge provided the "corner" look and angle she was looking for without covering the glass door. The wedge, combined with a customized left-facing armless chair (to maximize seating space), completed her decorating puzzle. The finished dimensions of Lin's Roth 2-piece sectional are 84.5" x 45.5" (L to R). She chose fiber down seat cushions, standard back cushions and Microfibre Accord Barn as her fabric covering.
Jim and Sharyl
Jim and Sheryl own a hunting lodge and were looking to replace two worn out loveseats. They really needed extra bed space for the hunters and were looking for sleepers that would be smaller than a full-size sleeper and have a similar look to their current loveseats. We told them about our twin size sleeper which holds 41" x 73" mattress and ask them to send us a photo of their current loveseats (so we could come close to that style - we modified our Kingsley style). They wanted leather and liked the Caprone leather that we offer. Caprone leather is long wearing, full grain protected and aniline dyed. To finish off the look they wanted, 5/8" Brassnails were applied around the arms and the bottom of the front of the sleepers.
Anne K.
Anne's son has a twin-size water bed in his bedroom. He likes to have friends sleep over, so Anne wanted something in his room to serve as a sitting space by day and a bed (when needed) at night. She chose our Hughes style twin sleeper (not yet advertised on our website - we can manufacture a twin size sleeper in any style). The Hughes twin size sleeper is 64" in length (compared to the 56" Hughes sleeper chair and a half). The mattress size for the twin sleeper is 41" x 72". Anne opted to have tapered wood feet (no skirt) and she participated in our C.O.M. program.
Gail
Gail lives on the coast of N.C. She liked our Sunbrella fabric for its durability, ease of cleaning and resistance to fade in direct sunlight. Gail selected our Hughes style furniture (no skirt and tapered wood feet) and wanted contrasting fabric for her throw pillows and welt. Her Hughes chair & a half, sofa and large ottoman are in Sunbrella Canvas Camel and the throw pillows are in Canvas Antique Beige. The contrasting welt on the throws are in Canvas Camel.
