Cathy,

A quick note to let you know the sofa arrived. It is wonderful and arrived in great shape. Here are some photos. Thank everyone for their prompt and kind attention and great attention to detail. View photo

Hope you all have a great summer.

Regards,

C. & R. Ducibella, Massachusetts, 6/25/07

Cathy,

Our sectional arrived at our Ocala, FL home in perfect condition on June 7. The delivery crew was very careful and unwrapped it at the door. The color is just perfect and it is perfect size match for our living room. The down wrap cushion option makes it great for sitting or snoozing. We appreciate the chance we had to visit your factory and make a seating test which led to us choosing this option. We will certainly recommend you to our new neighbors when they see the sectional. We are very pleased with the curved back corner wedge. The curved back faces into the center of our great room and makes a very dramatic impact. The wedge is my favorite place to sit. View photo

Here are a few photos of our couch. It is comfy and beautiful! The sofa fits perfectly in the space and gives us plenty of room for walkways and other sitting areas. Plus, we can all fit on the sectional for games, family meetings and watching t.v. as a group. It is exactly what we wanted! We will recommend CarolinaChair to our friends and family. Thanks for everything! View photos

The Peele Family, Ohio, 6/4/07

Cathy,

My wife and I are sitting on the new sectional now, and we LOVE IT!

It works perfectly in the space we had it made for, and we are not disappointed in any way in the color, quality, or comfort of the pieces.

In fact, my wife has already started talking about maybe having a few more things made for the house, and she has given info about your company to our decorator, who gets a fair amount of furniture made for her clients.

It has been a good experience working with you, and your attention has been greatly appreciated.

You may hear from us again soon!

Thanks again.

M. Pitts, Maryland, 6/4/07

We ordered a full sleeper from you last fall. We purchased the air mattress for the sleeper; after using it several times with guests, they say they sleep very, very comfortably. My husband and I are very pleased with the sofa. The craftsmanship is superb, the denim fabric is sturdy and fits the rustic decor of the guest room. The large ottoman is perfect for lounging or with a tray as a coffee table. We were also pleased with the shipping, although we were not able to accept the first date the shippers wanted to deliver. They still delivered in a timely manner. Thank you for the fine product.

Best regards,

J. and D. Leech, Texas, 6/2/07

Dear Cathy,

I love my couch! I looked everywhere for a couch this size! We needed a special size for the space. I looked at some of the 'higher' end stores and actually sat on their products. They aren't made as well nor do they have warranties. I could have spent the same amount of money for a couch from R&B with no ottoman, no custom size, only a few choices of fabric, not the same quality of workmanship, & no warranty. I read all of the testimonials and was impressed that everyone loved their furniture. I ordered a Crawford custom couch in Sultry Suede L:ichen with a sofa bed on one side. We increased our seat cushion to 5" & included the fiber down package. The fiber down package is wonderful. We needed a special size for the space, so I gave Cathy a measurement & it fits perfectly. We both love it. I'm impressed with the workmanship. So if you're looking at PB, C&B or R&B, shop here instead. You won't be disappointed. View photo

L. Jury, Colorado, 5/30/07

Dear Cathy,

Thanks so much for helping me figure out what sofa would work best for us. We love our sofa! I can tell it is made from the highest quality fabrics that are not only easily cleaned (important when you have 3 little boys), but is also so incredibly soft and cuddly. Thanks also for accommodating the changes we asked for in the Eliot sofa. I will spread the word! View photo in home.

W. McGraw, Washington, 5/29/07

Hi Cathy,

Just wanted to let you know that we love our new couch! It fits perfectly in the motorhome and looks great. It is the most comfortable couch I've had since we sold our house and started full time RVing 9 years ago. I will most definitely recommend you to anyone who asks where we got our wonderful couch.

Thank you so much for all your hard work. View photo

Attention RV and travel trailer owners: There is an alternative to replacing your furniture with only Flexsteel options. We have found a great company to work with that will custom fit ANYTHING you want to replace what you currently have in your RV or trailer. It seems impossible to get RV furniture that does not include a sofa that makes into a bed. This is not what we wanted, the Flexsteel sofas are terribly uncomfortable to sit on, and more than uncomfortable to sleep on. Unfortunately, we do not have a choice out there. Well, guess again, CarolinaChair will work with you and will custom make a sofa or couch to fit your needs. We did not want our couch to make into a bed; this coach will feed 8, entertain 12, but it only sleeps 2. Therefore, we searched for a replacement couch for the Flexsteel and found it at CarolinaChair. This is a wonderful company to work with, and we did it completely over the Internet. I must admit that at first I was not comfortable ordering a couch over the internet, thinking I was buying a "pig in a poke" (guess that is dating me), but it is the best investment we have made since becoming full time RVers in 1998. If you are thinking about replacing sofas or chairs in your rig, you can't go wrong with considering CarolinaChair. I am so glad to finally be comfortable while watching TV.

M. Friske, Texas, 5/23/07

Hi Cathy,
The couch is phenomenal! The fabric is perfect! I just wanted you to know that I am highly satisfied with the craftsmanship of this furniture and I appreciate you going the extra mile to get my fabric. Also, HEP Direct was awesome with the handling of my furniture - you were right, I was just nervous.

Thanks a million,

D. Piterski, New Jersey, 5/13/07

Hi Cathy!

Thanks for all your help with the process of selecting, measuring, color and fabric coordinating, designing and constructing the chair and ottoman. Your customer service and attention to detail made the process better than I could have expected. View photo

With gratitude and satisfaction,

R. Rimbault, California, 5/12/07

Cathy,

I have tried several times to send you a message to let you know how much I am enjoying my new sofa but my server was down. It fit the space perfectly and has enhanced my room. I also noticed how well made it is. My dogs love to look at it too but are keeping their distance as "Mom" told them they couldn't get on it unless they were lying in her lap. This is the first new sofa I have had since my husband died several years ago. I plan to add a few more items eventually so I may be e-mailing you again in the near future. View sofa

Thanks to all of your who have made such a good product.

Sincerely,

S. Pitman, Oklahoma, 5/11/07

Hi Cathy,

I wanted to let you know that our chairs arrived and we just love them!!!! They are really comfortable and fit perfect in our space. Even my kids love them.

L. Bini, New Jersey, 4/24/07

Cathy,

I just wanted to say thanks for making a great product. Our 2 year old daughter has written on every sectional component at least every other day with pen, permanent marker, and crayon and each time the stain has come out. We will be recommending you to everyone. Thank you again for the great customer service.

J. Zielinski, New Jersey, 4/23/07

Hi Cathy. The big truck made the long trip from Manhattan to Liverpool on Saturday. They were anxious to turn that rig around and head South before getting caught in the Nor'easter. Very wise (smart) guys!

I know you've heard it before - and will again in the future - but the furniture you made is Beautiful! Lots of blue but I'm tired of green. The ottoman is HUGE, large enough for 3 pairs of feet. I almost ordered another one as a sitting stool for extra company; but so glad I didn't. My family room isn't that large and two would have been too much.

I'm trying to spread the word about your company. Anyone who stands still for five - gets the story! Thanks again for your help - CarolinaChair is a positive for Internet sales. View furniture

F. Hunter, New York, 4/17/07

Dear Cathy,

We received the sofa on 4/15 and it is as nice as we expected. We really like it - the quality and the fabric - and are so pleased with our choice. It looks fabulous! Thank you and please thank your brother for us.

S. Clark, Virginia, 4/17/07

Cathy,

The sectional arrived today and we love it! The size and color and everything is perfect for our room. The delivery was painless and went off without a hitch!

P. Charpentier, Illinois, 3/28/07

Cathy,

The picture didn’t turn out well enough to do our new sofa justice – but we absolutely LOVE it. It has really improved my mom’s living area and we are EXTREMELY satisfied. As soon as any of us are ready to purchase more furniture – it will definitely come from Carolina Chair! View furniture.

Thanks so much for everything,

C. Shell, Oklahoma, 3/24/07

Dear Cathy,

The couches are lovely and everything turned out great. I look forward to recommending you and hopefully do more business in the future.

Best,

J. Shatz, Maryland, 3/22/07

We received the furniture and it is all in place. We really like it and are so pleased with the workmanship, fabric and overall appearance of our couch, chairs and ottoman. We just couldn't be more pleased!

Thank everyone for us, please! Your company did a great job for us ... and right on time!

K. Biegay, New Jersey, 3/19/07

Cathy, the delivery service had our sectional to us the Thursday after you e-mailed us! Not only did you build the furniture faster than we anticipated, the delivery was quick as well.

We love our new furniture. Thanks for working with us to get the exact dimensions we needed to fit our room. The fit and fabric are perfect. With your brother's help, we decided on the thicker cushions and found that they are exactly what we needed. Please thank your brother for the time he took to give us the tour of your facility and help us decide on exactly the right style for our needs. If we decide we need additional furniture for the room, we definitely will contact Carolina Chair. Again, thanks for the personal attention! View furniture.

C. Bruno, South Carolina, 3/11/07

Cathy,
I wanted to let you know that our sectional was delivered at the end of last week and it is beautiful. The photo you sent us didn't do it justice! I'm so glad we custom ordered the fabric because it is exactly what we needed. We have two large dogs and a yard full of red clay. We wanted an attractive, comfortable, sturdy sectional, in a dark print fabric, that could co-exist with our animals....and us! Your sectional is perfect! I was a little hesitant to order furniture on-line because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to check the quality or the comfort. My concerns were totally unfounded. The sectional is so well made and it is extremely comfortable.

Our positive experience with your company will make us two of your best salespeople! We'll pass the word to anyone interested in purchasing quality furniture.

Thank you so much for your personalized attention and the wonderful service we received throughout the process.

Warmest regards,

B. and L. Bloomfield, North Carolina, 3/8/07

I received my couch today and all I can say is, "WOW!!!" Everyone thought I was crazy to buy a sofa without going to the store, but you guys sure proved them all wrong. We have three boys and I needed something built to last. I was tired of having to buy a new couch every two years because the springs would give out. However, after seeing how you construct your furniture and being able to choose the exact fabric I was won over. I have the nicest looking and best built couch in all the family. I have told everyone that if they are looking for high quality at an affordable price to visit your website. I just wanted to give a big "THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!" to everyone at Carolina Chair for making me my dream sofa! view photo

S. Mann, Kentucky, 3/8/07

Cathy,

I love the couch. It looks perfect. The fabric is exactly what I wanted and the measurements worked great.

Thank you.

I. Kunsman, Washington, DC, 3/7/06

Cathy,

Thanks for the picture. The couch arrived early today at 8:30 am, the driver called me yesterday to give me the heads up. The delivery service was great. The couch is beautiful and the early delivery was a nice surprise. Thank you so much for making the couch buying process so easy and enjoyable. I will definitely recommend your company to everyone I know. Thanks again.

D. Cortes, New York, 3/2/07

Dear Cathy,

At long last, here are three pictures of our beautiful sofas. We love them! Thank you for your advice and guidance in helping me to customize them - the results are perfect, and you took the anxiety out of the process. Please, too, pass along to your manufacturing employees how much we appreciate the top quality - they are everything we had hoped for and more. We have had them now for three months, and I am so happy to say they have passed every possible test: the down-wrapped cushions hold up beautifully with minimal periodic plumping and are so comfortable, just right; the frames are solid and heavy - no squeaks! (which makes me realize of what lesser quality were our previous sofas); the material is beautiful and will wear wonderfully.

You can see from the pictures that the situation is a 'great room' - and the idea for the sofas was to have them tie together the dining chairs and the oriental rug in the seating area next to the fireplace. This they do most beautifully.

Friends who couldn't believe we were going to make such an important major purchase over the internet now compliment the couches and our shopping acumen - so I hope you will have more California business as a result.

I would like to add that the shipping was exactly as promised, and the delivery personnel professional, polite and on-time.

We will be ordering a chair and ottoman from you in the next few months, which ought to be the best testamonial of all. Thank you too, for sending the extra long arm covers - they're just right and we greatly appreciate you making them for us.

A. and D. Logar, California, 3/2/07

Cathy,

We received our sofa and loveseat today and it is perfect. Thanks so much!

B. Jeter, California, 2/28/07

Hi Cathy,

Our couch arrived last night and it's wonderful! You guys did a swell job and it is well worth the money. The shipping company was also excellent; although they had truck trouble and came several hours late, they called me every couple of hours with updates on their whereabouts. Job well done!

P. Lichtenstein, Indiana, 2/22/07

Dear Cathy,

We been using the L shaped three piece sectional now for 6 weeks and we are amazed with this product. This was such a high ticket item and I had some reservations about purchasing on-line. I knew what quality sofa (in terms of structure and fabric) I was looking for because I had done my “homework” at a local high-end furniture dealer. CarolinaChair had equal quality with even better fabrics than what my local retailer had - at a much better price. Then, you have to ask yourself about customer service and how your local dealer should be able to give you excellent customer service and piece of mind. How can you find that on the internet? Well you need to speak to Cathy Fry. Cathy handles the customer inquiry and was my only point of contact at CarolinaChair. Her family has been in the furniture business for generations and really knows how to treat a customer. This is a small family run business which allows Cathy to provide an extremely high level of customer service. She attended to every question and concern I had about the product. When I spoke with Cathy, I mentioned the cushions style were not just what I was looking for. She had a perfect solution. She replaced the standard style with the one I was looking for - at NO additional cost may I add. I can honestly say I have never had a more positive retail experience either at a normal store front business or on the internet. That’s pretty amazing to think I’ve not even met Cathy, but I feel that she was really looking out for my best interest. This is an honest, high quality, reputable business and I would not hesitate for a minute making another purchase here. I wish all my retail experiences could be this good!!

T. Supple, New York, 2/20/07

Hi Cathy. Thank you so much. We love our new sofa! It’s more comfortable than expected and perfect for our needs! As for the delivery, everything was perfect. They were quick, accessible and professional.

Thanks again. Unfortunately, everything else we have looks really shabby next to it.

See you next time!

C. Perraud, Massachusetts, 2/20/07

Cathy,

The chair was delivered about an hour ago, I couldn't pull myself away from it to write any sooner.. It is just what I expected!!! The color is perfect with my other furniture. The Reflex cushioning is so comfortable. I will try to get my son to take a picture of it where it will stay put for a few years (I hope). The young man that delivered the chair was very careful, and friendly. What more can I say except Thank You! You and your brother deserve a big hug. God bless you both.

R. Olsen, Washington, 2/15/07

Dear CarolinaChair,

When I was considering purchasing on-line furniture for my home theater I had a lot of concerns about buying a big ticket item before seeing it. I visited your website more than a dozen times as well as other sites. The reason that I was considering this purchase was that I could not seem to find what I was looking for in traditional furniture stores. The cost and long waits of specials orders in these stores led me to seek an alternate solution.

My experience purchasing from CarolinaChair was a pleasant one. I was able to find the 5-piece sectional that I was looking for and the right fabric at the right price. Another advantage was that I didn’t have to pay for the furniture until it was actually shipped so my money was not tied up for months. I received my furniture before it was promised and the delivery and set-up was great.

I will definitely purchase from CarolinaChair again. view furniture

D. Fussell, Georgia, 2/2/07

I recently moved into a new home which has small, pine-paneled den. I wanted to create a cozy atmosphere echoing the rich, woodsy feel of the wood floors and paneling but had limited space. A full-sized couch would overpower the room. After reviewing CarolinaChair’s website, I determined that with modifications, this loveseat would work well. It was important to me that I could modify elements of the loveseat to achieve a piece of furniture that worked well in this room. After obtaining several swatches of custom fabric, my final choice insured that my final product would work with my two leather recliners and achieve the masculine look I wanted. I can recommend CarolinaChair highly—they did everything they said they would when they said it would be done. The loveseat is comfortable and well-made. view furniture

R. Stroud, Louisiana, 1/17/07

Cathy, our sofa and ottoman arrived safely and just before we needed it during the holidays. The delivery service did a great job of getting it into the room and we were impressed with the wrapping around the piece. We like the sofa very much and it will be a great addition to our home office/guest room here in the country. I've already recommended your company to several friends.

M. Folmar, Alabama, 1/10/07

Cathy - I have been meaning to e-mail you since Sunday afternoon, but the extra day off made me lazy! :-)

We have our furniture already! It looks great!... and it's so comfortable!! It makes our houseboat seem 10 years newer! That's right, we have already transported it to the houseboat and unpacked it. We only had but a moment to sit on it as we had much to do, but we could tell we choose the right furniture and company! Thanks for allowing us to visit your facility, customizing the pieces and building such quality furniture. Dee, Loretta and everyone else was extremely hospitable and helpful when we visited and the only thing missing is that we were not able to meet you, but I can tell you're equally as pleasant.

You requested feedback on the delivery so here are my comments. HDS could not have been more accommodating. After your e-mail on Tuesday, I called them for scheduling, told them about our trip scheduled for January 12-22 and requested a delivery either before the 12th or after the 22nd. The lady understood and suggested it might be after we returned, but said things could change and they would call me once a schedule was established. I received a call from them - I think on Thursday - and they said the furniture would arrive Monday between noon & 4pm. I questioned this because Monday was New Years Day. She confirmed Monday and I agreed. On Saturday, Tim (the driver) called and said they were running ahead of schedule..."Could I take the delivery on Sunday during the same window?". I agreed. I called Tim Sunday mid-morning to acquire a more accurate time of delivery and we discovered he had been routed past us twice (crossing counties and very inefficient) before the stop for our delivery. In fact, he was literally going to be driving within 500 yards of our office/warehouse - the delivery point. Further discussion resulted in me meeting him at the exit for his next stop (at my request, on his first pass by me) and us simply transferring the furniture directly from his truck to mine. The unloading process was less than 10 minutes, but it had to have saved them so much more in 'back & forth' travel time. Tim was very appreciative. Tim and his helper (I can't remember his name) were very courteous. In fact, after parking their truck, both of them approached me with their arm outstretched for a handshake and introduction. Both of them were very team-oriented, hard workers and a pleasure to experience. I can't imagine HDS is fortunate enough to have that kind of staff throughout their entire organization, but one things for sure, y'all picked a good company to make your deliveries.

This entire experience causes me to wish we needed more furniture!! Hope y'all have an unbelievably successful year - both business wise and personally. view furniture

T. Johnson, Tennessee, 1/2/07

Cathy,

Just a quick note to tell you how pleased we are with our sofa. It arrived right before Santa came for a holiday visit (sitting on the knee, etc) - - an hour later there were 24 people in our living room. How wonderful to have the sofa in the sunroom (off of the living room) for spillover traffic. I spent as much time in there as I could. My husband & I have already fallen asleep on the sectional already.

You were wonderful to get the sofa to us so quickly. We're just thrilled. I'll take a picture soon to show you how great it looks.

Have a very merry Christmas!

C. Good, Kentucky, 12/21/06

Cathy, we received the sofa yesterday as scheduled. It is so beautiful, and I am feeling guilty for having it back here in our setting room off the bedroom and not in the living room. I did coordinate the colors in there, also (if I continue feeling too guilty and decide to share it with the rest of the zoo).

I asked for custom changes mostly because this is the first time I ever had the option. I would have never dreamed I could order a "custom sofa" at such a great price. It seems the sofas in the showrooms are getting smaller, and I wanted a longer sofa if I do decide to move this into the living room.

My husband doesn't take notice of things like furniture or clothes, but he was really impressed with this sofa, and the two delivery guys were going, "Like, Wow, we've never seen a sofa designed like this. It is beautiful." Now, how is that for personal recommendations? Thanks for all of your help and the personal touch you put on this order.

G. Chesney, Alabama, 12/12/06

What's a tall dwarf to do for comfort in a world where everyone else is taller and taller? The furniture industry has followed the trend and caters to the oversized and forgets that short people exist. The stores are filled with oversized furniture and short people desperately looking for something that does NOT cause their heads to be pushed forward and feet to dangle above the floor. Such a chair is not to be found. I am 4 feet and 9 inches tall, definitely shorter than that which is ordinarily considered short. When younger, I learned to sit on my feet in a yoga-like position and go through other contortions just to occupy my own furniture as well as that of other people. As I aged (now 73 years old), the bones and muscles started to object and I truly longed for a chair to fit me. NOT AVAILABLE! When I came across the email address for CarolinaChair, I asked for a chair for short people while thinking that it was one more exercise in futility Surprise! The answer came back that they would make a chair to my dimensions!!!!!!!! I must be dreaming!!! It was a difficult thing for me to arrive at the dimensions I eventually furnished them. They helped me with a chart showing how to measure. Eventually, my little chair arrived, looking very well made and beautiful. It is the most comfortable chair I have had since becoming adult. Thanks to CarolinaChair, my remaining years will include comfortable seating. I recommend it for all other tall dwarfs out there. See photo.

S. Brower, Virginia, 12/8/06

Cathy, just wanted to let you know I received my sofa. We do love it you were right we love the way it feels when you sit on it. My husband was extremely happy with the construction. We are always looking for USA made products. The people that delivered it were great. Thanks so much for all your help - you were wonderful to do business with. I hope to purchase a chair to match the sofa real soon. Thanks again.

D. Romine, Alabama, 12/4/06

Dear Cathy and all the folks at Carolinachair.com,

In my mind's eye I could picture a certain sofa to perfectly fit our small living room, but I sure couldn't find it in any store. Finally one day I browsed on line and found your company.....and my vision of the perfect sofa began to come to life! You made it all so easy.....it didn't take much of a "leap of faith" to order furniture on line. Your comprehensive website, your Wall Street Journal article (which I could view on line), and most of all your quick and attentive response to my questions made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Our custom made sofa arrived safe, sound, on time, extremely comfortable --and PERFECT! We love it!!! Thank you all so much!!! View photo of furniture in home.

Cathy, I have received my furniture and I am well pleased. I am so glad I chose your company. Again, thanks.

M. Spruill, New Jersey, 11/9/06

Dear Cathy & the Fry Family,

Late last month my husband and I received the sectional sofa we ordered from you. It's gorgeous and we are enjoying it very much. Last night for the first time five members of my family were able to watch a movie together very comfortably. The furniture is sturdy, compact and handsome. We looked everywhere, and your company offered the small-proportioned sofa we needed.

The whole process of working with you was a pleasure. You sent us lots of samples when we requested them. You answered lots of questions over the phone (even on a holiday). And, when I discovered that I had made an error on the number for the fabric selection, you and your brother very generously agreed to correct my order. We were also pleased with your delivery company.

We are grateful for your patience, your kindness and the furniture you made for us. I intend to enjoy it for a long time! Thanks for your wonderful product. I would recommend your company to anyone who asks. View photo.

Cathy - the sleeper is gorgeous and it arrived in perfect condition! Thanks so much! My son and one dog are already curled up on it looking so happy! I'll send you our story soon and recommend you to everyone we ever meet! Thanks so so much!!!!!!!

L. Sova, Michigan, 11/2/06

Hi Cathy,

The sectional arrived today and I love it! It is an absolutely perfect fit for our newly renovated family room space. Once we get the rest of the room finished, I'll send you a photo as well as a testimonial. But I just wanted to send a quick email to say thanks and let you know how happy I am with it.

J. Wiltsie, New Jersey, 10/28/06

My two armless sofas have been delivered and I love them. I am so happy with the custom 5" seat cushion borders, because they provide the overstuffed look I wanted. We have a family room with two window seat areas and these new armless sofas have replaced the typical uncomfortable benches that were there. We now have plenty of comfortable extra seating for relaxing and watching TV. I want to thank you and your brother for the quality work and especially for making sure I received my furniture in the promised timeframe. I will definitely recommend CarolinaChair to my family and friends. View photo.

C. Schena, Massachusetts, 10/26/06

The sleepers are beautiful. They look very good where we put them and I'm so excited to have the extra bed space for hunters this year. Thanks so much!!!!

S. Pirrung, New York, 10/23/06

Dear Cathy, our beautiful new sectional sleeper sofa was delivered Friday, 10/13/06. The delivery men were unbelievably efficient and thoughtful, walking the sofa up our very steep 300 foot long driveway to avoid damaging our new driveway with their big truck. I wish I’d taken a picture of them. Incredible! First they moved our leather sofa and loveseat upstairs to the living room, then quickly and carefully unwrapped and set up the new sectional in exactly the right place. It fits perfectly, is just the right color, and is as comfortable as it looks. Thanks so much for your help. We’re astounded that you were able to create exactly what we needed and have it delivered to us in such a short time. Thank you so much. View photo.

L. Hoffner, North Carolina, 10/19/06

Cathy, My son's mini sleep sofa arrived yesterday, and I wanted to let you know how happy I am with it! It's perfect in the way it's made and it suits our needs so well. As Andrew often has friends to sleep over, I was trying to figure out the Trundle bed-bunk bed dilemma when he was the lucky recipient of a twin size water bed- so I was on to plan B- and this twin sleeper sofa is a winner in 2 ways. It is comfortable, by providing some seating in his room, and gives guests a place to sleep. The process was easy, the price was reasonable, and I would use you again in a second. Please feel free to use me as a reference. Thanks again for making it all so easy.

A. Katz, Maryland, 10/12/06

Hi Cathy,

Received and adore my new sectional. The proportions are exactly right for a smaller room and limited wall space. Your furniture is wonderful. There's nothing like it around my area. The construction is solid, and the details are great. I love the Taupe Sunbrella, but am using the denim slipcovers for reasons as shown in the picture. My entire experience with Carolina Chair was incredible. I wish I needed more furniture! A word to any skeptics, you really, really, really can buy furniture online.

Thank you, Cathy, and Carolina Chair!

D. Leigh, Georgia, 10/7/06

I don't know if you received my confirmation of the chairs arrival or not since my computer has not been working right, so wanted to be sure you know that I do love the chairs. I was somewhat skeptical about ordering them on the internet but could not have been happier if I had seen them on a show room floor.

They look beautiful in my living room and everyone compliments me on them.

Thank you so much and please express my thanks to Cathy too as she was so helpful.

Thanks again.

B. Reynolds, Michigan, 9/27/06

Cathy, just a note to let you know my chair arrived Saturday, the 23rd & it is beautiful. Thank you so much for your help in making the color choice. It blends in perfectly with the living room set. Again, thank you for your help & I will shop again with you and your company.

D. Jackson, Texas, 9/26/06

Hi Cathy. My furniture arrived and it fits my space perfectly – both in size and in style. Exactly what I envisioned in my mind’s eye. The HEP guy didn’t get here until after 6 p.m., but he’d called earlier in the day and told me his timeframe, and it worked out just fine. Turned out, there was a storm here and the Route 66 parade was cancelled, so I was at home anyway and it really didn’t matter what time he arrived. Girl, this couch and all the accoutrements is just what I wanted. I’m so glad I was Googling around that day last May and found your website. Some things are just meant to be. As promised, I snapped a picture of the couch in its new space. The photo is attached. I know – it’s an odd little room, but it suits me. Definitely difficult to find a sectional couch that would fit – impossible until I found you guys. Thanks for everything, Cathy. You and your brother do great work.

M. Brancato, Illinois, 9/23/06

Just got the ottoman and slipcovers! Thank you so much. I just want to let you know that we are very happy with our chair-and-a-half and sofa, both sleepers. No problems with shipping (to downeast Maine!!). I searched the stores for these before turning to the web. What we found in the stores was of questionable quality, wrong sizes, and had no choice of fabric. I chose Carolina Chair because you were a family-run company (I could speak to a knowledgeable, real person) and you had exactly what I was looking for. After the pieces arrived, I decided to order the ottoman and slipcovers (I have a poodle who thinks the furniture is hers). I am delighted with the quality, comfort and service! Kudos to you from another very happy customer! view photos

B. Schroeder, Maine, 9/7/06

Hi Cathy, I just wanted you to know that I was so pleased with the couch that I received in August. Everyone has complimented on its beauty. In addition it arrived when you said it would.Your moving company was excellent as well. I am looking forward to using you again. Again, many thanks.

P. Smith, New York, 9/4/06

Just got my loveseat and chaise sectional and I couldn’t be happier. Will be sending you a picture shortly. I’ll be glad to be your West Coast testimonial person. The furniture is truly beautiful. Thanks.

R. Siipola, Washington, 9/1/06

Hiya Cathy:

Arrived safe and sound...my daughter (5 yo) has already spent hours jumping on, off and around the units, as well as building forts with the pillows.

Thanks for your help. We're very pleased.

M. Pearl, New York, 8/21/06

Cathy,

The sofa arrived yesterday afternoon and we are very happy with it. It is definitely well constructed. The men from HEP were very nice and helpful. I would highly recommend them. I have already given your name to the neighbors at our new place who are in the process of buying a new sofa. I'll give them the swatches you sent to me.

Again, thanks for everything.

L. Phillips, Virginia, 8/21/06

My husband and I originally went to the CarolinaChair web site because they were cited as a manufacturer of custom furniture that used Sunbrella indoor/outdoor fabrics. Once we explored the web site, we were amazed at the custom furniture options that were available, the variety of performance fabrics offered and the quality of materials used in the manufacture of the couches and chairs. But over the internet?

We certainly felt more comfortable when we read what your customers had to say about their experiences with CarolinaChair. But we really became comfortable after talking with you in person. All our questions were answered and when we requested performance fabrics to look at and test (they had to be “bulldog proof”), they arrived within days which made our choice simpler.

Well, we recently received our Hughes couch, chair and chair & half – almost to the exact date estimated when we placed the order. The Sultry Suede fabric we selected for the couch and chair & half (stone) looked great and both pieces had an expensive “tailored” look. The C.O.M. chair (a Sunbrella fabric) was beyond our expectation -- a truly magnificent piece of craftsmanship.

The delivery of the furniture was also a pleasant experience. We were able to track the shipment and once delivery was arranged, it was delivered on time and with care.

As for the “bulldog proof” fabric, it has been tested frequently and returns to its original look every time with a little soap and water. Our chief tester, Guinness, is a 3 year old fawn and white English bulldog that in the past prevented us from decorating our family room with quality furniture. But our performance fabric CarolinaChair furniture continues to look factory fresh despite every effort on his part to add his own custom stains. No more blankets, throws and covers.

Without reservation, we would recommend CarolinaChair to anyone interested in high quality furniture at a very reasonable price. The quality of your service is icing on the cake!

P. Dodson, Texas, 8/20/06

Dear Cathy, we got the sleeper on Friday. The transport team did a great job. They got here in the time window indicated and we got the sleeper in the room with no problems/issues. There was no damage....everything was fine. We are extremely pleased with the final product.....size, design, material and color. If you need us as a reference, don't hesitate to contact us.

C. Hochheiser, Florida, 8/20/06

Cathy, thought you might like to see the fabulous love seats and some of the rest of our cabin in the woods! Thank you so much for the beautiful workmanship! view photos

H. Coan, North Carolina, 8/17/06

We are so thrilled with our custom-made sectional sofa. Everything was just perfect about our order and it was shipped exactly as promised, in 8 weeks. We had created our custom home three years ago, but it never occurred to us that we could have custom furniture built as well. We were shopping for a small sectional with a pullout queen size sleeper with a left side chair and finally realized that it did not exist at furniture stores or in catalogs. That is when we got on the Internet and discovered Carolina Chair. We got just exactly what we wanted by combining several of their collections. And the Sultry Suede fabric is so wonderful. Not only did we get the perfect composition for our room, but we have an extremely well-made couch and ottoman. We would definitely order again from Carolina Chair, should the need arise. Their quality and service are top-notch.

S. Lambeth, Tennessee, 8/17/06

Hi Cathy, I received my couches last evening, and I LOVE THEM! I will e-mail you, and send you a picture, in a few days so you can put it on your web site. Please thank your brother for me too.

E. Billingsley, New York, 8/10/06

I just wanted to tell you how much we LOVE our sofas and chairs!!!!!! They all work wonderfully in both our Living Room and our family room. They are just beautiful – so thanks again.

A. Sprecher, New York, 7/14/06

Cathy Fry & everyone at Carolina Chair:

I have known my husband for 18 years, and in all that time he has never really been comfortable on any piece of furniture due to his height. Peter is 6' 5" with the longest legs I have ever seen.

Our custom-made "monster" chaises were created to give my husband a place to relax after work or on weekends and enable our two children to sit with us. I must say that Carolina Chair far exceeded my husband's expectations. Our entire family is ecstatic with our gorgeous, black microfibre monster chaises. My husband and I sit comfortably together on one or one of us can sit with both children in one. They are perfect.

Now instead of his legs and feet dangling off, my husband is a Very Happy Giant!!! We went from an inferior quality, uncomfortable sectional to living in the lap of luxury. I would recommend Carolina Chair to my friends, neighbors and family without hesitation, and I already have.

S.Fullen, Georgia, 7/11/06

Dear Cathy,

Our couch arrived just in time for the wedding!! Our family loves it as it is so comfortable!! Not only is it comfortable but it looks terrific. We used the sleeper, and it too, is comfortable. Next we will order the ottaman so keep our fabric aside and I will order it this fall. The color is PERFECT!!!! I have told many about your company and I will spread the word!!!! Thanks again!!!!

D. Thompson, Wisconsin, 7/11/06

To the best at CarolinaChair:

We really cannot believe we bought upholstered furniture on the internet! We did and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. After months and months of shopping and sitting, we were further away from making a decision on purchasing two loveseats than when we started. In great frustration, late one night we turned to the internet. At Carolinachair.com there were many different styles and a multitude of fabrics from which to choose. Best of all, there was no salesperson pushing us into an ill conceived decision. The next morning, we started the process with a request for fabric samples. Several months, two houses and dozens of samples later, we placed our order for two loveseats. We were moving to another state and wanted delivery coordinated with our move. Like all the requests for fabric samples, the coordination was no problem for the professional staff at Carolina Chair. The big day arrived and so did the loveseats. The protective packing was most impressive as the loveseats were lifted from the truck. The two young moving men were pros. They unwrapped, placed the loveseats just where we wanted and removed the packing material. They even moved a heavy marble top coffee table into place. Then, the true enjoyment of texture and color became a reality. The loveseats were exactly what we had envisioned. There was still one aspect that was impossible to discern via the internet: “Will we sit in the loveseats or on them?” Sitting in upholstered furniture is for the very young. All our fears were dismissed. The seat cushions and supporting springs were every bit as firm (not hard) as we hoped. Additionally, the seat height and depth were perfect. Our first house guests have come and gone. The true test of enjoying the loveseats passed with flying colors. There is one point that was not considered prior to ordering. It is especially important for people with any breathing sensitivity or allergies. The fabric and fillers have a very minimal amount of lint and no discernible odor. Just go into a furniture store and take a deep breath. The bottom line is “Carolina Chair produces a superior product!” Check it out for yourself: quality construction, superior materials, numerous fabric samples, helpful staff, and timely production. Just ask Margaret and Bruce Thompson.

M. and B. Thompson, Alabama, 7/10/06

Four years ago (Dec. 2001), I bought a sectional from Carolinachair.com. I just thought you folks would be interested in how it's holding up. Fantastic! Two dogs, 4 cats, and 4 children later it still looks like new. My family and I enjoy relaxing on the couch to watch TV or take a nap, and well, as you can see from the pictures - the dogs enjoy it as well. Keep it up!

K. Luhr, Virginia, 7/5/06

Cathy,

I just received my furniture and I'm extremely pleased. The workmanship is great. The material chosen just makes my room look so elegant. If I wasn't so electronic challenged, I would take a picture and email it.....you would feel so proud of the look. Thanks again for the pleasure of working with such a great company....buying something sight unseen is a scarey experience...you and your company made my day.

Thanks so much.

B. Warren, North Carolina, 6/30/06

Cathy, I have not seen the furniture, but it arrived this morning (thank God and you - renters arrive tomorrow). My husband loves it (not an easy man to please). The furniture fits just like it's supposed to (now my husband is very impressed!). The delivery company and drivers have been very nice, the truck did not quite fit down our driveway but they got close enough and my husband (with his pick up truck) was able to get the furniture to the door for them to unload. Everything worked out great! I can't wait to need new furniture so I can buy it from you.

Thanks again,

A. Bowler, Washington, DC, 6/30/06

Cathy, we love the sleeper sofa. Thank you very much for all your help. View sleeper.

C. Brockleman, Connecticut, 6/28/06

The sleepers arrived in perfect condition yesterday. Thank you. Looks perfect in the room. If we ever finish the remodelling, I will send you a photo.

B. Schroeder, Maine, 6/21/06

Cathy,

The furniture is gorgeous and comfortable. I'll be buying more as soon as possible.

M. Finn, Virginia, 6/18/06

Hi Cathy, We finally put our new furniture in place and it looks great! We just love everything about it, the color, the fabric, the quality construction and again Gary was so surprised that a sleeper could be so comfortable to sit on. I will be sure to recommend you to everyone I can - I have a decorator friend in Hickory and although I know she knows about your company I will let her know how pleased we were with our purchases. Thanks for all your help.

(note from CarolinaChair: the Esler's are repeat customers)

L. Esler, Georgia, 6/5/06

Hi Cathy, I just wanted to take a minute to thank you (and your brother) for my new couch and chair. They are perfect and I’m thrilled with the outcome. Your delivery people were kind, courteous and efficient. It was also very nice of you to take the time to send Bob and me the picture ahead of time. I will be happy to recommend your company. Great job…well done!

M. Groglio, New York, 6/5/06

Hi Cathy, I got the ottoman yesterday afternoon, and I LOVE it! It's so cute! Thanks for sending the pic of it before it arrived--that was very nice! Thanks again.

(Note from CarolinaChair: this customer purchased from us in 2001 and wanted to add an ottoman to match - we did have her fabric in our stock. view ottoman

L. Leventer, Maryland, 6/1/06

Christmas arrived this morning when the sofa and ottoman were delivered. We're so pleased with the look, feel and the workmanship of the pieces and they sit good too! The celery color looks great with our navy blue, green and peach loveseats and we have peach colored accent chairs. The look is just what we wanted. Thanks for your excellent communication, workmanship and delivery.

Our friends will hear about you and we would not hesitate to do more business with your company. view furniture

S. Gonser, Pennsylvania, 6/1/06

Hi Cathy!

I've been meaning to send you an email to let you know how much we love our loveseat/chaise! It's very comfortable. I'm glad we chose the foam/down combination cushions. It's a great place for our family to relax, as you can tell by this picture of my son in his PJ's!

Thanks so much for your help and advice while making our purchase. If you have any other customers from Alaska, feel free to pass my name on as a reference - we'll invite them over for a sit :)

D. Turner, Alaska, 5/31/06

Our sectional arrived in perfect condition this AM. Everything fit as I hoped and the quality is excellent. Even the color worked out very nicely. It is such that Nora can use most any of her throw pillows her heart desires. I did veto the aubergine. :) I'll send you a photo soon.

Thanks again for your assistance. You have been wonderful.

B. McLaughlin, Georgia, 5/27/06

Dear Cathy, our beautiful sofa arrived yesterday! We are thrilled. It is perfect - everything we wanted it to be. The workmanship is beautiful. We'll give you a call shortly, but I wanted you to know that it arrived safely and how much we appreciate the excellent service and quality you've given us.

Thanks so much!!

H. Carlson, New York, 5/25/06

Hi - The sofa & ottoman were delivered this morning & looks fantastic. I am very pleased - the couch is so comfy I may never leave the family room. The delivery guys were great, professional & pleasant - made sure everything was OK, set up & cleared up quickly. After hearing nightmare stories from people who have ordered custom furniture through stores, I can't believe what a pleasure it has been dealing with you all.

M. Price, Florida, 5/23/06

Dear Cathy,

When I found your web site, I reviewed every page and read every testimonial. Still I thought, these people can't be real. Well, I have to say that I am now one of those people.

Wow! We are very pleased with the furniture we ordered from your company. It fits the space perfectly and even better, it feels and looks fantastic. The suede is very smooth and comfortable and the cushions are firm. Getting the extra firm back cushions was an excellent suggestion, firmness is our personal preference and I am so glad you offer that option.

My husband who is leary of buying anything unseen or untouched is also extremely pleased, and believe me that is a tall order. He now has a favorite corner to watch TV. Also, the delivery gentlemen were very professional and friendly. They removed the packaging and inspected the pieces in our presence. As soon as I can borrow a digital camera (yes we are behind the times) I will take a picture and send it to you. Thank you for your professionalism, it was a pleasure working with you. One last thing...I am proud to buy furniture made in USA, right in North Carolina! You can give my name to anyone who is considering buying from you. I will be glad to share my experience with them. view furniture

T. Solorzano, Florida, 5/17/2006

G. Tai, California, 5/8/06

We received our sectional a few days ago. It's great, we love it. Thank you for being so patient with me and answering all of my questions while I was trying to figure out what I wanted. Let your brother know how much I appreciated all of the quotes that he prepared as I revised my specifications. The custom changes that I requested came out just right. I really love the fully extended track arm. I was so skeptical about ordering this sofa on-line but everything went so smoothly and here we are with our sectional, as promised. I'll send a photo when the room is more complete.

I will get in touch when I am ready to order the chair for my son's room. Thanks again.

D. Tomaskovic, New Jersey, 5/1/06

Just a quick email to let you know that my order from CarolinaChair was delivered this afternoon. The sectional is truly a handsome piece. I've used the armless chair as a stand alone. Can't wait to accessorize both the sectional and chair with appropriate throw pillows. The workmanship is everything I had hoped for.

Thanks so much for your guidance at the start of the project. The Roth and Yeats combination is perfect - and please be assured I'd recommend CarolinaChair to anyone both for the quality of their product and their concern for the customer.

Once again, thanks.

R. Heschke, New York, 4/28/06

Our sectional was designed especially for our up stairs loft, which is home to our computer center, t.v. and game area. The loft is a long narrow area that runs along one wall around the corner and under our front windows. We were looking to maximize our seating area for the kids as well as allowing them a comfortable place to lay around on to watch t.v., play, or chat. Since the sectional ends very close to the entertainment center, we did not want the bluntness of a chair end, so we elected to end our sectional in a chaise, this softens our sectional and the kids fight over the premier kicking it spot. We must say you provide excellent customer service, along with a premier product. We will be placing future furniture orders through you.

D. Richardson, California, 4/27/06

Hi Cathy, Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that our sectional was delivered on Saturday. We are thrilled! The picture didn't do it justice! The fabric is perfect, soft yet durable and it is a really nice piece of solid furniture. Great workmanship! The delivery guys were great too. We had been having really bad thunderstorms that day and I was worried that it wouldn't get delivered, but the storms broke long enough for them to get everything inside and just as they were pulling out of the driveway it started pouring! They definitely went above and beyond what I would have expected in a delivery company. Not only was the delivery on a Saturday, but it was also around 8:30 pm. My husband sat in the corner seat when everything was set up and didn't move for three hours! My three old daughter Sarah also loves it (great jump-ability)!

Thank you again Cathy for all your help and for everyone there that worked so hard on our sectional, we just love it. Please pass along our thanks. I have attached a couple of pictures, sorry they are somewhat fuzzy. view photo

C. Pinchart, Georgia, 4/20/2006

Cathy, we are so very pleased with our entire experience with your company. I googled NC Furniture and your company was one of the ones to come up. The web site, my phone conversations with you, the ordering process and the delivery were outstanding! The couch, loveseat and chair look great in the TV room. My husband is in the military, and we are currently renting a house in the DC area - with small children we wanted something durable but at the same time something that looked good. This is just perfect. My husband will take some photos and send it to you shortly so you can see how it configured into the room. Thanks so much!

PS - the delivery guys even took my old sofa to the basement for me. I was alone with the 3 kids at the bewitching hour. Very gracious and helpful.

C. Gentry, Maryland, 4/19/06

WE LOVE OUR SECTIONAL!!!! It is by far the best piece of furniture we ever bought. Friends were amazed that I designed it on line and didn’t see it until it was delivered! That’s a lot of faith in my abilities! I should rephrase that---because without your guidance and suggestions, I would still be deciding! Our fabric is so neutral that we could repaint and get a new matching area rug one day and the room would again look new. It’s a classic color and shape and we couldn’t be more pleased. Your quality is impeccable. Thank you for all your help and assistance.We’re so pleased.

B. Waltermire, Maryland, 2/11/06

Dear Cathy, I have been wanting to write this letter for a long time to tell you how much I love my new love seats. I've decided to write this before I even have my breakfast or clean up from cooking my kids breakfast so that I can actually write this to you.

Let me just say that the experience of ordering couches from you has exceeded my expectations. It's not enough to say that the couches themselves look beautiful. They are in a sun room which I can see from the kitchen and therefore see all day. The look of the whole room has changed remarkably with the love seats and I just love it. But the whole experience itself from start to finish was impressively trouble free, and may I say even fun once I got over my anxiety over ordering couches online. What still amazes me is how your brother made couches that fit my expectations exactly, without even seeing the sketch that I made for myself on graph paper, (because I changed some of the specifications), but how he even got the feel of it just right. This was perhaps the most important part for me, as you know I have three herniated disks in my lower back. I now have couches that I can actually sit on! This is due not only to his skill as a couch maker but to your talent in what you do, talking to the customer and really finding out exactly what that person needs. You have remarkable patience and I always felt I could trust you because you gave me honest answers to my questions. I never felt like I was being pressured or pushed into anything and I was able to take the time I needed to come up with just the right couch. I have truly enjoyed our conversations and will now have to order another couch to continue them! Actually after getting these couches it's hard for me to imagine getting couches any other way, since I couldn't find anything anywhere (we looked for three years), that fit what I was looking for in either looks, quality (I did not see a warranty like yours), and especially comfort, until I called you. We are now coming up with what we want for the family room and you will be hearing from me once again. I can't wait. One other thing, they were also delivered sooner than I expected and it was so nice of you to surprise me and have them before the holidays, even though I didn't ask you for that but wished that I could have them before then! I know that you and your brother made an extra effort for that. Thank you.

What I also appreciated was that after I received the couches you really made sure that everything was as it should be. This is very important. One other thing I neglected to mention is how nice it is to call knowing that you are going to speak to a real person and always the same one. I would tell anybody, and I have been telling everyone, that even if they are afraid to order couches online they can order with confidence from you, as you will help them every step of the way and they will really get what they wished for.

I'm looking forward to planning our next sofa with you. Hoping to speak to you soon.

All my best to you and your brother,

G. Lubin, New York, 2/9/06

Today the sofa was delivered and the workmanship is impeccable. I am very pleased to have it turn out so well and it has been admired by my friends also. The nice feature about CarolinaChair is that one gets the furniture exactly how one wants it - it is made to your exact specifications, so one does not have to make concessions on how it looks. I have already recommended your company to others.

G. Wright, New York, 1/27/06

I received the sectional yesterday. It’s gorgeous.. and as you said, the color is exactly right. We aren’t finished with our new house yet, but hopefully will be soon, so as soon as I get everything in it’s proper place & the place looking like a home instead of a construction site, I’ll be sure to send photos and the little write-up you requested concerning my choice. Thanks so much! I was so nervous about this purchase and everybody I told thought I was nuts.. but I couldn’t be happier and believe me, I WILL spread the news about Carolina Chair. You have been a pleasure to work with.

M. Ledger, Mississippi, 1/19/06

Cathy, I've been meaning to write you a testimonial with pictures ever since our furniture was delivered. I'm kind of glad I waited. We love our new sleeper sofa, love seat, chair, storage ottoman and extra pillows. We get compliments all the time and sing your praises. I have not had this level of service in years. I'm so glad we used the sultry suede. With pets and kids, it is wearing like a trouper. I've already cleaned blood, food, ink among other stuff off with great success. The cat and dog's claws aren't harming it at all either.

Again, the service leading up to and including delivery and the quality were exceptional. I'll be ordering more furniture from you this spring. I would not even consider going anywhere else. Sorry about no pictures but the photographers in the family aren't cooperating. I can't get them off the furniture.

K. Cole, Michigan, 1/16/06

Cathy, here are some photos of the sectional. We love it. Thanks for all your help. I will be sure to refer you to all my friends and family.

D. Scarp, Washington, 1/15/06

Our 4 chairs and huge storage ottoman arrived yesterday. The delivery service was great. They called for directions about 40 minutes before they arrived (as Mapquest gave them incorrect info.). They took the pieces out of the packaging before they brought it in, so we didn't have to deal with it in the house. One guy stayed in the truck and removed all the packaging, the other was able to easily carry each piece into the house and set it up in the living room.

The photos do not do the chairs justice. They are so beautiful, comfortable, elegant. The fabric looks and feels wonderful. The texture is exactly what I was looking for. I have so many options with the armless chairs, they look incredible as two loveseats, just as I was hoping, and using them as four chairs around the ottoman makes a wonderful, cozy conversation area...and we have a great place to play a game or put our feet up. If in the future we move to a larger home, we could use a contrasting fabric and get a coordinating sofa. Last night we sat in the living room, and I modestly told my husband "this looks like a page in a magazine!"

Here are some photos - if you have trouble viewing let me know and I'll resend in another format.

Thanks again for all your help.

S. Hassler, New Jersey, 1/6/06

Hi Cathy, we received our couch and love it! The delivery men were terrific! They were on time, courteous, careful and efficient. I had a great experience purchasing my couch from CarolinaChair and have said so on my blog. If you'd like to read it, you can (link provided to CarolinaChair). Here's what our customer said on her blog site:

"I ordered my couch on the internet from Carolinachair.com and I would do it again. I got exactly what I wanted, paid half the price, and didn't have to drive 100+ miles to find something I liked. I shopped one evening while wearing my fuzzy sweats and sipping on a Corona. My family shopped with me - gathered around the screen. We looked at couch styles and measured our space. We could see how much room this new piece would take up in our not so spacious family room. It was terrific. The fabric selection was simple. We wanted denim - nothing too dramatic here at LadyBug Crossing!

My extended family was skeptical... "How do you know if it is comfortable? How do you know if the color is "right"? Any hidden costs? What if it isn't what you wanted?" I was not worried.

When the couch was ready to ship, they sent me this picture! Can you even believe it?!?

The couch is here, it is comfortable, the fabric is perfect, and if you'd like to come by and sit a while, we'd love to have you!"

I just love my Hughes sleeper chair and a half with the matching ottoman. Every chance I get I sit in it and it doesn't take long to get comfortable and fall off asleep which is exactly the reason I bought it. From the initial online purchase of the chair, sight-unseen, to the delivery and set-up process, I was very pleased. My chair is lovely and I would do it again. I especially loved selecting my color and pattern from the many fabric swatches I had to choose from. Keep up the good work Cathy and company.

C. Gilliam, New York, 12/29/05

I wanted to take the time to write and thank you for the great experience I had with CarolinaChair. At first my wife and I were a bit skeptical of shopping for furniture over the internet. When it became obvious that we had few other choices because of some abnormal dimensions we were trying to fit, we took a chance with your company. It has proven to be a terrific experience. First - you were extremely helpful in walking me through the different choices of furniture and fabrics we had to choose from. Your explanations were both clear and descriptive. You did not try to rush or pressure us into making a purchase and seemed intent on helping us make the right decision for us.

Second - your web site is very user friendly, even for a technology novice like myself. I was able to navigate through the site easily and the information included covered almost every question I had.

Third - you worked hard to make sure that the furniture not only was completed on time but took the extra time and care to insure that it was delivered to my house prior to the Christmas Holiday even though I had placed my order on such short notice - order entry to delivery: a little over 1 month. Truly a gift.

Fourth, and most importantly, I got sit on my new sectional last night. The first 10 words out of my mouth were, "I Love it!, I absolutely love it! I love it! It is comfortable and fits even better than I could have imagined. Your brother and his staff are excellent craftsman. The sectional is awesome.

I would recommend your company to anyone who is looking for well crafted furniture at reasonable prices. Especially for someone like myself who had some very specific dimensions to accommodate that the local retailers just couldn't match.

I look forward to shopping with you again. Thank you and Happy Holidays to you and everyone at CarolinaChair.

J.Barling, New York, 12/23/05

Just wanted to drop you a note to say I am totally in love with my new sleeper chair. The quality is amazing and the pull out bed is SO easy to use. My friend tells me it is the most comfortable pull-out she has ever slept on...with nothing jabbing her in the back all night. The next time I need furniture I'm not even going to look anywhere else. Thanks!!

K. Lidji, Maryland, 12/14/05

Sorry for not e-mailing you sooner. We love the couch! Delivery was great too. Thank you again. Will be in touch...

J. Wills, Pennsylvania, 12/8/05

I just wanted to let you know that we received our sectional last week and we absolutely love it. It fits perfectly in our family room. I am so thankful for your company!!!! We now have a couch that is functional for our family. We don't have to be bothered by not being comfortable when we are trying to enjoy our family time now. Everyone has a space and can be totally comfortable!!! The fabric is beautiful and cozy and inviting. We love our new couch and again are so thankful I found your company so we could make it fit our family room and our family perfectly.

C. Sherwood, California, 12/7/05

Finally I am sending the photos that I promised well over three years ago. Maybe it's not all bad that these photos are tardy because now I can attest to the longevity of your furniture under harsh usage. We have a custom sized Hughs sofa and chair and a half with ottoman. The upholstery and slipcovers were described to me as very hardwearing. This furniture replaced This End Up sofas whose cushions were losing the battle with our dogs. Although there was no intentional abuse, we did have two, and sometimes three dogs on the sofa who were constantly going in and out, in rain, snow, and mud, in the woods, with no grass to speak of. The sofa was also the place where one of the dogs would sometimes take stolen food and consume it if she could get away with it. This same dog had the curious habit of wiping her face on the sofa to "clean-up" after her contraband meals. Needless to say, the sofa would get dirty, smelly and furry. When it would get soiled beyond the reach of vacuuming and surface washing, I would carefully wash the cushion slipcovers in almost-cold water on a short cycle and put them in the dryer on slightly warm for a few minutes, and then air dry. Even though the fabric was not considered washable, the sofa would magically return to it's original pristine state...for awhile at least.

I sort of knew that this fabric would be OK with pets and washing because I had subjected the fabric samples to repeated torture: soaking, washing, even scratching at it with a fork to simulate dog and cat claws. I was ready to accept responsibility for possibly ruining those slipcovers, but they are still fine.

Even more amazing to me is that, along with the dogs and cats, I have a very tall teenaged son who regularly plops down on the sofa with more force than I like, because he "forgets". He takes after his dad who also plops and forgets. I am happy to report that the springs and frame still seem to be in like-new condition. I am just amazed at this furniture. View photos.

M. LeGrand, New Jersey, 12/4/05

I wanted to get back to you on our fabulous custom chaise we received before Thanksgiving. The movers were topnotch and the chaise is beautiful. We are going to spend endless hours catching a nap or reading in the chaise. The kids also love it. The color is very vibrant and suitable for a sunroom. I've been mentioning CarolinaChair to anyone who is interested. We will be in contact again. View chaise.

C. Donovan, Maryland, 12/1/05

Dear Cathy, we received shipment on Tuesday and as always the couch looks great and the service was wonderful. I am so pleased with everything we have gotten and it is a real pleasure to do business with you. We probably will not be getting any more couches in the near future but I can asure you I spread the great news about CarolinaChair every chance I get, especially when we are in furniture stores and see people looking to purchase couches. Have a great Thanksgiving. (note from CarolinaChair: the Corso's are repeat customers)

B. Corso, New Jersey, 11/24/05

Good morning Cathy,

I have meant to write to you ever since we got our sectional. We love it! It's so comfortable and is now my husband's favorite spot to read the newspaper, as well as mine. The quality of your product is "tops" in my book. I was a little leary about ordering something this big online, but from the time I placed my order, through the delivery, everything went without a hitch and was right on schedule...actually a little earlier than expected. Your company is great to work with and I will be ordering from you again.

Thanks again for making this such a positive experience.

P. Tague, California, 11/22/05

Hi Cathy. I have enclosed some pictures. Not sure if you can use them as there is so much light behind them all the time. View photo. We are really enjoying our furniture. Happy Thanksgiving! (note from CarolinaChair: This customer chose a Sunbrella fabric that is not listed in our Sunbrella fabric choices. We can purchase any Sunbrella fabric.)

S. O'Shea, North Carolina, 11/16/05

I wanted to let you know the furniture arrived in perfect condition ... thank you so much. We are really enjoying both of the pieces especially the customized recliner couch. We are already thinking of additional pieces for other areas of the house. Attached are a few photos of the pieces in their new 'homes'. View photos. Thank you again for such a wonderful job. The craftmanship is outstanding and we would highly recommend your company to anyone who is considering purchasing from you. Your customer service and personal attention was outstanding and very commendable. Have a wonderful day!

K. Kleinwort, Oregon, 11/14/05

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!! We love the couch - the delivery men were outstanding and I am thrilled. And, we really appreciate having the couch two weeks before the promised date.

M. Saltz, Ohio, 11/10/05

Cathy, I just got the couch & it is beautiful. My brother is coming for Thanksgiving week, so he will be the "guinea pig" to test out the mattress. I am amazed at its smaller size, but it serves the purpose of a comfortable couch by day and a bed for company. Thanks again. I will be sure to tell all my friends.

D. Stone, California, 11/10/05

This is the first chance I've had to let you know that I received the furniture and absolutely love it. Just got back from Georgia yesterday and what a mess in Broward County. We were really hit bad by hurricane Wilma. I really love the chairs - they are perfect. My husband said convertible furniture is often uncomfortable to sit in and he was surprised at how comfortable they are and he was also very pleased at the way they look. They were exactly what I wanted. Thanks for all your help and by the way the delivery men were extremely nice.

L. Esler, Georgia, 11/8/05

Just want to let you know how great the furniture looks in my rooms. It’s even better looking than I imagined it would be. And, very comfortable – or so my husband says – I haven’t really had time to sit down, until now. Every step of the process was very easy, and you were great to work with, especially with my fabric dilemma – but I’m very happy with everything. The furniture is in adjoining rooms – a parlor and family room – and it flows really nice. I’m telling everyone I know about Carolina Chair – what a great experience and what a great product! Attached are some pictures – not sure if they do it justice. View photos

M. Wavra, Michigan, 11/4/05

Hi Cathy. Just wanted to say that the sectional arrived Tues night about 6:00. The guys were terrific with the care of unpacking and carrying it in. It looks simply elegant........beyond what I dreamed it to be. We love it. The nailhead trim is perfect, the size couldn't have been within one inch more perfect. It definitely looks like it was made for this house. The color is fabulous and matches everything that I did in anticipation of the couches. I will send you some pictures as soon as we finish decorating the wall behind it. Again, thank you for all of your patience and help. It was very enjoyable being able to work with you.

L. Taylor, Arizona, 11/4/05

My design challenge: The family room furniture consisted of two large caramel-colored leather love seats, and a blue/teal leather recliner. I decided that a large ottoman, in a fabric that incorporated both colors, would bring the room together. Upon searching many furniture stores for ottomans and sorting through their respective fabric options, it became clear that I would have to find an appropriate fabric on my own. I found one bolt of a plaid fabric that was absolutely perfect, yet could not find a company locally that would allow for COM. What about the internet? I ultimately found CarolinaChair’s website and was thrilled to find that they were agreeable to using my own fabric. They created a beautiful custom ottoman to my specifications, and they were a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end! View photos

S. Dupree, California, 11/3/05

Cathy, just wanted to let you know that the furniture arrived safely Saturday evening. Everything looks great and am very pleased with the color and style of the furniture. My den looks just wonderful. I will definitely use your company again and have passed the word on to family and friends. Thank you for the courteous handling and care.

M. Manning, Georgia, 10/31/05

Hi Cathy, Sorry this note is so late--it's been a crazy week. Our custom Bishop loveseat arrived just about a week ago and we couldn't be more pleased! I wanted to thank you personally for all your great service and to thank your manufacturing staff for their excellent work.

The sofa arrived in perfect condition. It was very well packaged. When we unwrapped it, the first thing I noticed was the quality, heavy construction. My husband was impressed by the pattern matching and we both think the all-down cushions are better than anything we have tried at the high-end retailers. It is extremely comfortable and solid. I've attached a photo so you can see how it fits perfectly in our bay window, just as we had hoped. View photo

It's obvious that everyone at CarolinaChair really cares about the quality of their work from start to finish. I have already dropped your name at a housewarming party and plan to keep spreading the word. My husband and I move around the country quite a bit, so we are glad to have a resource for custom furniture that we can take with us on our next adventure.

Thanks again for a job very well done!

J. Peterson, North Carolina, 10/30/05

My husband and I are incredibly happy with CarolinaChair.com. The service, pricing and product are unbeatable. The quality of our sectional is superb and we know it will last our family for many years to come.

M. DelPresto, New Jersey, 10/28/05

Finally our furniture has arrived. The guys who unpacked were careful and opened the packing with their hands..no instruments at all. My husband is very happy and we can stay married now that he has made sure he can lay down on the sectional. The color is perfect, and it also fits perfectly in the room. All in all, we are very pleased with it. It's a beautiful job, and we find the furniture to be comfortable as well. Good Job!! Only one problem, now my husband has decided he needs a new recliner..the old one is now too shabby for the new furniture!! Thanks a lot for your help.

J. Berge, New Jersey, 10/26/05

The furniture looks great. It is exactly what we hoped for. Most appreciated was the consistent attention our order received. We were able to stay in contact with the same company representative from our initial inquiry to our final inspection and setup of our furniture. We would not have been as satisfied with any of the hundreds of dealers available to us here on Long Island. We will undoubtedly order from you again. Thank you.

M. Mittler, New York, 10/25/05

Thanks for everything, Cathy! I truly feel you cared along the whole process from ordering, sending fabric swatches, and delivery. I will definitely share your company with my family and friends. I am already thinking about what to order next.....don't tell my husband!

C. Floyd, Michigan, 10/25/05

Cathy, It is all home safe and in perfect condition- to die for gorgeous. Thanks again and congratulations on the great work you and your brother do - I know your dad is VERY proud!

R. Funk, Arizona, 10/22/05

Hi Cathy! My client is EXTREMELY happy with her furniture from Carolina Chair. The pieces she ordered are comfortable, practical, and very well made, as well as very smart looking. We are both very pleased with the product.

As a designer, I was very happy with the quality of service I received as a first time customer with your company. Efficient handling of orders today is becoming a rarity, and I am delighted to have discovered Carolina Chair. Your in - home delivery people were very efficient as well, and the delivery men (Ed and Sam) were very competent, courteous and prompt. You all helped me look good to my client, and you all made my job a lot easier. Thank you very much, and you may be sure that I will pass the word along about Carolina Chair and your wonderful staff. WELL DONE!

M. Collins, Florida, 10/15/05

The pieces arrived yesterday. They are even better than I had hoped. The family spent the evening lolling on the sofa to give it a test drive and all are pleased. I wasn't sure that I could pull off a "modern" sectional in a very traditional setting (a 1907 Tudor in a "historic area"), but I think you will agree it works. Thanks again. We are delighted.

S. Schooley, Missouri, 9/29/05

I received the two couches and they are BEAUTIFUL.....I am so pleased with them and the material is great. Everything was in order and I will recommend you to anyone interested in new furniture.

S. Kyle, Missouri, 9/29/05

The Gold Touch guys were great and soooo nice. My twin sister just moved to South Carolina and I already referred you. You should be hearing from them soon. The couch looks fantastic. I will tell everyone I know about you guys. Thanks for everything.

N. Berkery, New York, 9/23/05

I just thought I'd send you a quick e-mail to let you know how pleased we are with our new sofa - sleeper! It seems to be very well made. Thanks for a quality product. The shipping went well too - with the movers being very careful setting it up and very good about removing all the packaging. Thanks again.

G. Moorehouse, Maine, 9/20/05

My furniture arrived yesterday afternoon and appears to be a big hit, even with our little dog, Molly. Molly immediately tested the furniture and seemed to like it just fine. As other family members filtered in, they also tested it and everyone thinks it is very comfortable. Your suggestions on the types of cushions I should order were exactly right! The furniture will be very functional in our family room, and that was one of my main goals. I like the fabric that I chose and can't wait to finish out the room with an area rug and window treatments to match.

I couldn't believe how well the furniture was packaged when it arrived. The Gold Touch delivery men were really nice, and they couldn't say enough good things about CarolinaChair. It seems that you have a great working relationship with them.

Thank you for making my furniture buying experience relatively painless. I will definitely consider using Carolina Chair again in the future, and I am already sharing your company information with friends and neighbors.

B. Miller, Florida, 9/15/05

I just wanted you to know that I love the sofa. The color is PERFECT. Now I need to start saving for a couple of slipper chairs...

C. Hilke, Pennsylvania, 9/14/05

The chair and ottoman have arrived and they are gorgeous and comfortable. I certainly made the right choice.

D. Rothwell, Virginia, 9/13/05

I found Carolina Chair out of sheer desperation. For over a year I had been looking for a Victorian style sofa and ottoman. It had to fit into a 10 x 12 room and be mauve and sage. Tall order and impossible to find! I work part-time at a furniture store and I had many resources to choose from, not to mention the countless stores that I visited in Dallas and Fort Worth. Nothing even came close. So I did a search on the web for custom made sofas and found CarolinaChair.com. I sent an email and was contacted by Cathy Fry - who has to be the most patient person on earth! She answered so many questions and had to revise my quote so many times. Through it all, she was nothing short of amazing - a true asset to this company.

I placed my order, sent the perfect mauve & sage fabric and nervously waited. I received the sofa and ottoman this past Friday and I cannot tell you how fabulous it is. It far exceeded my expectations! Working in the furniture business, I sell the high-end, big name furniture (at big prices). There is no comparison in the craftsmanship of Carolina Chair and the furniture that I sell. They far surpass anything that I've seen. The finishing and attention to detail is superb. I just cannot say enough about this company and it's hard working family. It really is nice to know that you can still buy quality, handmade furniture right here in the USA. I will tell everyone I know about Carolina Chair and I am confident enough to refer my customers who need custom pieces to them. View photo

T. Harless, Texas, 9/12/05

Hi Cathy, I’m just following up to let you know everything is all set with the furniture. They really do love it. Thanks for putting it on your website – looks great! I’ve attached some photos of it in the room. View photo It was a real pleasure working with you and your brother. You provide excellent customer service and great quality furniture. Thanks again.

R. Clancy, Massachusetts, 9/12/05

Gold Touch delivered our Loveseat, Chair and Ottoman last evening! They fit perfectly. I am attaching a photo of the pieces in our living room. The collection is simply gorgeous, and incredibly comfortable. Thank you so much for your help throughout the whole process...from the swatches to the style selections and specifications...and all my questions in between! I will let you know when we are ready to update another room. View photo

D. Santucci, Florida, 9/7/05

Just wanted to let you know the furniture arrived today. It looks terrific!!!!! The quality is unbelievable. Your brother is very talented at what he does. Thank you so much---I am extremely happy.

T. Bindas, Pennsylvania, 9/3/05

I happened on CarolinaChair online quite by accident the way one does these days– but was intrigued by their website and stayed to browse their “showroom.” I read the testimonials, looked at the classic pieces of furniture, made decision that same day and ordered. I was impressed by the efficiency and personal service I received – I knew everybody by their first names within days!

Here’s a testament to the comfort and joy of my new sofa: my girlfriend came for a two day visit, got sick, and ended up staying four days – guess where she camped out? Not in a guest bedroom, no. On my new and cozy couch! I began to wonder if I’d made a mistake---I thought she’d never leave! (Just kidding)

J. Mehrtens, South Carolina, 9/1/05

My wife, Jeanna, and I have always bought quality furniture. Being from the south, many of the furniture manufacturers are located in our area. Jeanna has worked in the furniture industry so it just seemed natural to get the best. We decided to replace our family room furniture this year when we finished our basement. Our existing furniture would be moved to the new basement but the new furniture would go in our family room. Jeanna and I struggled with fabric and colors but finally agreed on a variation of my favorite color – red. I’m a 20 year veteran firefighter so the color seemed natural too!

I’m amazed at the choices of fabrics, filler materials, and even that edging stuff that has to be decided. Carolinachair.com worked with our family and designed just the right size and style furniture that would meet our family’s needs. Our family room is open to our kitchen so we needed a sofa that had a lower back to provide openness to the rooms. We wanted space for entertaining guests so Carolinachair.com made us two great ottomans on casters that even open for storage. We now have seating space for 8 but the furniture takes up less space than our old, overstuffed style.

Carolinachair.com answered all of our questions before the purchase and even showed our son and daughter how the fabric was put together in their assembly room. (A bonus for living in North Carolina)! The experience was great. Our children have the furniture they’ve been jumping on for sometime in a room just for them and Jeanna and I have a room that is colorful and stylish, yet comfortable enough for lounging after a busy shift at the fire station. What a combination!!!

D. Bullins, North Carolina, 8/31/05

Again, I can’t thank you enough for the fantastic service and the wonderful furniture. I have attached some photos so you can see how perfectly the sectional and chair fit. If not for your customizing the sectional to my special size request, I would be unable to put a sectional into this living room because of the steam radiators that cut into the area available in this 1918 house (view photo). The construction is fabulous; the styles, fabrics you make available and cushion choices can’t be found in any furniture store that I visited. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you and your brother!! View photo of furniture in home.

C. Nadell, Massachusetts, 8/29/05

I just wanted to drop a short note to let you know how very pleased we were with our furniture order. Not only did you make every effort to assist us and assure us that our order would be processed efficiently and effectively, but you even sent us pictures of our sofas, loveseat and chair before they were shipped. The delivery was equally unparalleled to any other company. You made the whole experience effortless. We look forward to dealing with you once again in the near future!

R. Corso, New Jersey, 8/28/05

Delivery went great yesterday! We lounged around watching a movie on our new furniture all evening. Even the cats were excited and not a mark on the sultry suede after the cat jumped up with the back claws out. Thank God or my husband would’ve killed him.

K. Cole, Michigan, 8/17/05

I finally just had to email you to tell you how happy we are with our new sectional. Everyone who sees it just loves it. Both my husband and my 21 year old son fell asleep on the recliners. I am so impressed with the workmanship and comfort. You were so helpful in the planning of the sectional. Just adding the down wrapped seat cushions was perfect. My husband, who usually doesn't comment, says that he doesn't care who else likes it because he loves it. I am planning on buying a sofa for our living room. We have never had a sofa or chair so comfortable. I'll send you some pictures of it in the room. It fits perfectly. Please thank everyone who worked on it for a job well done.

K. Sporer, New Jersey, 8/15/05

Delivery was this morning. The sectional is fabulous! I love it. It's quite difficult to visualize when trying to fit into a 'new' space - but it's just great! I think I told you, I'm working with a decorator who did the floor plan and I do the rest...I have passed your website to her and I know she will be really impressed when she sees the furniture! Thanks again Cathy for everything - you do very good work.

M. Thurston, Massachusetts, 8/11/05

Our sofa arrived a few days ago and we are so happy. It came out beautiful and is so comfortable. The delivery company was wonderful - reliable and friendly. I am so happy to have found your company and look forward to doing more business with you!! I have to tell you that since we moved into our new home 11 months ago we have dealt with so many different companies (contractors, furniture etc.) You were the nicest and most helpful person of them all. It was a pleasure working with you and we will enjoy our new custom sofa for many years to come!! Thanks again.

N. Villare, New Jersey, 8/7/05

Got the couches!!! They are wonderful!! Thank you! We will likely be replacing our other couches soon and will contact you then.

L. Greenky, New York, 8/1/05

Our loveseat and ottoman arrived early and I am very happy with my new furniture! The fabric is beautiful and looks great in our guest room/office, plus it's a perfect fit since I was able to order a custom size. The quality of the furniture is very impressive for the price. Most of all, I am extremely pleased with the customer service provided by Carolina Chair - you guys ROCK!!! Thanks!

J. Grant, Washington, 7/13/05

Hey Cathy! Just wanted to let you know that our couch arrived and it's gorgeous! The kids love it, too- I can't keep them off of it! (And my husband - "Mr. Did you really need to go and spend money on a couch" - is very happy with it. That's a huge compliment to CarolinaChair!) Thanks for everything - just wanted to let you know that we got it!

J. Barrow, Louisiana, 7/9/05

I received the ottoman yesterday. It looks great! I will certainly recommend you to others and come back for future items. My husband's aunt is in the decorating business and she really likes the workmanship and will recommend you to her clients. Thanks!

L. Smith, Alabama, 6/28/05

My husband and I recently down-sized from a five-bedroom home to a home with one master bedroom and one guest room. Since we have five children and 10 grandchildren, this was not an easy decision to make. The end of April we realized we desperately needed a sleeper sofa for the family room to accommodate a visit from our daughter and her two children the first of June. I hated the idea of having to traipse around stores in our new, unfamiliar neighborhood trying to find "just what I wanted" in such a short time - red microfibre, classic design, queen-sized, well made, reasonably priced, and deliverable by the first of June.

So, I decided to do some searching online and, lo and behold, up popped CarolinaChair.com. They seemed to have it all, but to make sure, I called and had the privilege of speaking with Cathy Fry. She couldn't have been more helpful. She sent out fabric samples right away and said they would put a rush on my order to make sure it arrived before our family did. And sure enough, the beautiful sleeper sofa arrived in perfect condition 10 days "early" - all the way from North Carolina to Tacoma, Washington. On June 7th, our daughter and two grandchildren (whose father is serving a year in Iraq) also made the trip successfully from North Carolina to Washington State....they absolutely loved the sleeper sofa.

This whole experience has exceeded my expectations and I'm telling everyone I can about CarolinaChair and our very successful online furniture-shopping venture. We feel we were "led" to the CarolinaChair website, and we're grateful.

N. Martin, Washington, 6/20/05

As UK residents, we always knew it was going to be difficult to furnish our new vacation home in the US. It would mean buying furniture we hadn't seen off the Internet, and getting guaranteed shipping dates so that we could organize taking delivery. Having never used the Internet for major purchases before, we needed to feel everything was going to be safe and secure with our order.

That's where Cathy Fry from Carolina Chair Company really helped. Cathy was willing to send fabric samples anywhere in the world so that we could be sure how the sectional seating we wanted to order would look and feel, and she organized delivery to match the day that we arrived on vacation. She also talked us through the web site purchasing system, and we felt everything was secure.

Carolina Chair Company is a great company, with great products, and great staff. We recommend them to anyone. View photo of furniture in home.

G. Morrison, United Kingdom, 6/11/05

I just received my sofa and it is awfully... comfortable. I just love it! Now I have to spend more money on accessories. Thanks so much.

K. Gethers, Hawaii, 6/7/05

Hi Cathy, Gold Touch delivered my furniture on Wednesday evening. Your brother's measurements, just fit into the door. The movers were even commenting on how well we measured for fit and entrance. The movers were very respectful, quick and careful. I love the new sectional. Went out yesterday and bought a whole bunch of patterned pillows to dress it up and am still playing around with where to put the ottoman. I might use it as a separate "seat" in this corner that I couldn't figure out what to do with. It fits perfectly and with a couple of tapestry pillows, it makes a great nook. It was a pleasure working with you and your brother and I will recommend you to anyone I hear of looking for sofas. Maybe when the project is done, I will mail you a picture. Thanks again!!!

E. Rulin, Massachusetts, 5/26/05

I wanted to write to you to tell you how much we like our new sectional. It is exactly what we wanted and the fabric turned out to be perfect. We wanted to thank you all for your help in customizing the measurements. The quality of the sofa is wonderful and it is very comfortable. The delivery went smoothly and was on time and very professional. All in all it was a really great experience and we recommend CarolinaChair to everyone who asks us where we got our new sectional. Thanks again for all of your help!

W. Gardner, New Jersey, 5/13/05

Our sectional arrived yesterday, a little ahead of time. The delivery men unwrapped and carried everything up to the third floor. I inspected all the pieces, and everything looks great. I love the sectional; it's just the right piece of furniture for the space! The color is beautiful. I am still in the middle of painting the room, so as soon as I pull the tape off, I'll send you a picture of the piece in place. I'll definitely tell my friends about your company. Thank you for a successful and uncomplicated shopping experience.

M. Kordesh, Illinois, 5/12/05

WE LOVE OUR NEW COUCH!!! It's perfect! I couldn't believe how comfortable the couch was compared to our old couch. I very easily take afternoon naps now! It was so wonderful to be able to customize this couch to our small space. The custom dimensions really helped us make the most of our living room. The delivery service was excellent! We received our couch 1 day earlier than the scheduled delivery date. I was so happy to see the delivery truck pull in and an deliver our beautiful couch. I can't wait to begin designing our custom ottoman! Thank you so much for your help! As soon as we start making some decisions about the ottoman we will let you know. But it's probably a few month away, we've got to save some pennies!

Our sofa was delivered here last Tuesday, and we are delighted! We want to commend you for your whole operation, from your website, to quality of product, to delivery--all very efficient and professional. We are completely satisfied. Thanks so much for everything. We hope your business prospers!

P. Skidmore, Pennsylvania, 5/1/05

Cathy, the sectional arrived yesterday - early!! The sofa is great - everything I expected and more. The Gold Touch delivery guys were outstanding also. I thank you for all your help and couldn't be happier with the quality of the workmanship and the perfect condition in which the sofa arrived and the promises kept on the timetable of the entire transaction. Thanks again and you will be sure that I will recommend you to others.

S. Arnett, Florida, 4/30/05

We got our sectional - wow, words don't do it justice. It was so worth the wait - you cannot find furniture of this quality in a store. You and your company were an absolute pleasure to work with. I actually was very at-ease with the whole process, which is saying alot for me. I really feel my money was well-spent (I'm a quality-freak, and I was not disappointed), and we got a unique custom-made product designed just for us!

J. Lee, New Hampshire, 4/22/05

Just wanted to drop you guys a line and let you know that the couch has arrived. It was a day early due to cancellations from other customers on this day, and Gold Touch was kind enough to move me forward and give me a call. They were professional and courteous movers, and the couch arrived without any damage. Looks good, feels great!

D. Watson, Virginia, 4/22/05

My chair and ottoman arrived yesterday in fabulous shape. I love it and it worked out perfectly in the space I had planned for it. Thank you so much for the great personalized service. I will definitely pass the word about your great company.

M. Wampach, California, 4/21/05

Cathy, our Hughes Chair & 1/2 Hughes Sofa and Tennyson Rocker Recliner arrived on schedule. The delivery personnel were very helpful in placing each item where we wanted it and was extra careful not to damage the house or furniture. I want to thank you for one of the best and most successful shopping experiences. With the Internet, we were able to select the style we wanted and the material swatch allowed us to feel and see the exact material we selected. Your help with my request for special firmness of the cushions was a real plus, just what I wanted. Tell your brother THANKS for his help. Your updates from manufacturing to shipping to delivery were always accurate. It is apparent your family will take that extra step for customer satisfaction. I will give you my highest recommendation.

K. & R. Wilhelm, Oklahoma, 4/13/05

We have our sectional sofa and we are very happy! It is so comfy and the quality is evident. We are really enjoying it - it was worth the wait for sure. Thanks again.

J. Rota, Georgia, 4/13/05

I just returned home tonight and was greeted by the beautiful vision of my new sofa/sleeper. Thanks to you, your family and all of the other wonderful people you work with. This has been a wonderful experience and the quality of your furniture is truly amazing. I am sure everyone at CarolinaChair is very proud of their quality and craftsmanship....please thank all of them for me.

Now let me tell you about Gold Touch Delivery....My Mother (who lives with me and my husband) was home to receive delivery of the sofa. She can't stop talking about how wonderful they were. She went on and on about their "Southern Hospitality", not to mention the fact that the driver liked our doggies (Boston Terriers...see attached picture).

I took some pictures to show you how your "work of art" is the center of attention in our guest room.....I also included a picture of our doggies because they spend a lot of time in this room......and....well.....they are our doggies.

Warmest regards and my deepest respect to everyone at CarolinaChair and Gold Touch Delivery. view photo sent by customer

K. Graf, Connecticut, 4/7/05

I just wanted to say that our black microfibre sectional arrived just before our holiday party as your promised. We have put it in our finished basement. My daughter is constantly down there now watching her DVDs and it is very comfortable. I have even found my husband sleeping on it. The quality is excellent and we hope to get many years of use from it. It arrived on the date as promised, and your delivery personnel were very professional. We had a large holiday party and had many compliments on it. Thank you also for all the help in selecting a fabric. We have been very, very pleased with the piece as well as your professionalism. I have passed your name on to many of my friends who are always looking for good furniture. I have saved your website and will be back in touch with you in the future when the need arises.

L.Meyer, Michigan, 4/6/05

Just wanted to let you know that our beautiful furniture arrived yesterday as scheduled. It is just what we wanted and we love it! It looks great in our newly remodeled basement. It has been a pleasure doing business with you every step of the way, and we will definitely spread the word.

C. Everhart, North Carolina, 3/31/05

Hi Cathy, Just wanted you to know that I received my chaise and I love it! I looked all over Los Angeles for the perfect chaise for my bedroom. I had to go to NC! It is the most comfortable chair in my house. I was somewhat hesitant to purchase via the internet. When I received my chair, it exceeded my expectations. Even the delivery guys commented on how nice it was. The quality, color (chocolate brown sultry suede), craftsmanship...beautiful. I will highly recommend you to friends. From one Carolina Girl to another, thanks...it has been a pleasure shopping with you!

K. West, California, 3/28/05

Hi Cathy! The boys from Gold Touch delivered the beautiful loveseat in good condition in the early afternoon on Friday, the 25th. My friend, Marie, was visiting and saw it firsthand, just loved it and will be searching your website for some furniture--in particular, a chaise. Hope you can help her. My thanks again for your great service. You can be sure that I'll be a repeat customer and will, of course, recommend you to my friends.

J. Defrank, New York, 3/25/05

The ottoman is beautiful. I’m very pleased with the product and the service. I will surely recommend you to my contacts.

S. Mahoney, New Jersey, 3/24/05

Hi Cathy! YES!!!!! We were totally "wowed"!!! You all did a wonderful job on matching the pattern in the fabric we chose for the sofa. The whole experience from beginning to end was outstanding. I love the way you do business! We will have many cozy moments with friends and family with your product. Thanks again for your special attention to making our sofa come alive.

L. Kimrey, North Carolina, 3/23/05

Hi Cathy! It is here, yeah! It arrived in one piece and was nicely wrapped. It is all set up and in use. When I came home from work this morning, Scott was ZZZing away on it. We love the color and the quality. Thanks so much! p.s. Our dogs love it too! :)

K. Jones, Nevada, 3/23/05

We're thrilled with our CarolinaChair sectional. Because it was custom made, it fits our space perfectly and looks and feels wonderful. By ordering it straight from the manufacturer we received the exact couch we wanted at a lower price! The service was great and the shipping fast. I would recommend CarolinaChair to anyone. Thanks again.

M. Neiman, Pennsylvania, 3/17/05

I just had to let you know again how pleased we were to receive our new sleeper sofas last night. I have enclosed a couple of pictures to let you see them in our home. My husband and I looked at several sites on the web for sofas, and once when we came across CarolinaChair's website, we didn't need to look any further. We liked the fact that these couches were hand-built and had a lifetime warranty. That let us know right away that we were dealing with people who built high quality furniture. The ability to select from a variety of fabrics from your special request fabrics was an added bonus. From day one, the customer service and continued communication (including when the fabric samples were sent out, when you received our order, the pictures of the couches under construction, and when the sofas were picked up by the delivery company) showed a high degree of excellence in your dealing with your customers.

The delivery people called the same day that I received your email to set up a time to deliver our sofas and gave us a time frame on when they would arrive. On the day of delivery, they called right before the timeframe to let us know that they were on their way, and when to expect them. Unbelievable!!! When we sat down on the sofas we were so impressed with how comfortable they were. Most new sofas are stiff and take time to become as comfortable as yours were on the first day. We will highly recommend you to all of our friends and family members, and when we have a family room built downstairs, we will be getting our furniture from CarolinaChair. Let your brother know how much we love our sleeper sofas. See photos of sleepers in customer's home.

K. Kerns, Pennsylvania, 3/16/05

Cathy, just wanted to say how delighted we are with our English style custom sofa and chair. We were able to get the custom "look" and "quality" we wanted - at a price we could afford. Until we found CarolinaChair, we felt eight-way hand-tied furniture was a luxury and likely out of our reach. Allowing the customer to provide fabric can be a real money saver and as we found out - is not the normal practice of most furniture manufacturers or decorators.

Also, we have never had such well built furniture in the 30 years we've been married. Most 6' sofas will not provide comfortable support for 3 people; however, just like a good mattress, with eight-way hand-tied construction, each sofa cushion is supported and this prevents you from "leaning" into the other guy - unless you want to, of course. We were also impressed with the delivery service - no damage and very helpful with placing the furniture. Looking forward to doing business with you in the near future. We are recommending CarolinaChair to our friends.

M. Turner, North Carolina, 3/4/05

The sectional was delivered yesterday. It is so beautiful. The workmanship is great. I have always had custom sectionals made as my living area is odd sized, but this is the first time in many years that I have been able to get this quality. Besides the fabulous look of the sectional...every cushion, every seam, every joint looks perfect. I am very pleased and will certainly recommend your company to my family and friends. Thanks for making this an enjoyable experience.

B. Barth, New Jersey, 2/4/05

I would love for you to see the beautiful purple sofas in their new home! I've told so many of my co-workers, relatives, and friends about CarolinaChair, so I hope you get some of their business. Again, thank you for making a dream come true!

P. Faha, Pennsylvania, 1/31/05

The sofa arrived on schedule Tuesday and is a perfect fit, as you can see from the attached photo. You can use me as a reference any time. Next time we are in Hickory (heaven knows when we will get back) maybe I can come out and say hello. Thanks loads.

J. Bates, Georgia, 1/30/05

Fast furniture is an oxymoron...except when you work with Carolinachair.com. It's the closest thing to immediate gratification in the furniture business. Even when using custom fabric from Barrow, requiring sample transmittals from the third party, everything was painless. Every detail was carefully monitored, checked and double checked. The only thing worse than furniture shopping is furniture shipping, and that too, was effortless. There was online tracking, great local coordination...and delivery people who carefully removed all packing material. Biggest problem with the new furniture is getting the guests off it and into the dining room for dinner...then getting them to leave afterwards. I have decided to charge for seating space for the Super Bowl. View photo of her furniture in the Colorado mountain condominium.

M. Pollack, Colorado, 1/25/05

We received everything yesterday and it looks great and is very comfortable! The delivery guys came on time, were very pleasant, and took extra care not to damage anything. Thanks again for a wonderful furniture shopping experience.

E. Yasnovsky, California, 1/21/05

Hi Cathy! I feel like I'm talking to an old friend. I have so enjoyed working with you by phone and internet. Delivery was made yesterday at the prescribed time arranged. The sofa bed is just gorgeous! I love the microfiber and the pattern on the fabric because it makes it more interesting. I chose a neutral color to fit into my color scheme, but also because it's easier to sell neutral colors if you decide to sell the mobile home fully-furnished. The Gold Touch delivery guys were filled with southern-hospitality. They were warm, thorough, and eager to satisfy the customer. This was a very satisfying experience with purchasing over the internet. I will surely tell my family and friends about your business. You are truly customer-centered, and I wouldn't hesitate to order from you again. Thanks so much.

J. Quarto, Florida, 1/5/05

The couch arrived on Wednesday and looks great. It fits perfectly with the room. We are so pleased with it. Thanks for all your help. You made the process so much easier. Thanks again and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

S. Hopkins, Colorado, 12/24/04

It is my pleasure to recommend Carolina Chair to prospective customers. My experience from start to finish was just great. I enjoyed working with you to decide on the fabric and modifications. The chairs were finished very quickly and the delivery was just terrific because the men were courteous and considerate of us as the consumers. Please know that I will be recommending CarolinaChair to my friends and family and will be calling you myself again in the future.

K. Hughes, New Jersey, 12/23/04

Don't be afraid! Buying quality furniture online is a pleasure with CarolinaChair.com! The website allows one to see many possibilities, many fabric swatches, too. Southern graciousness and satisfaction guaranteed from the Fry's made purchasing the furniture EASY and AFFORDABLE. And delivery is FREE!

P. Burgess, California, 12/17/04

You were right - I love the sofa! It's beautifully made, matches the other loveseat very well, and the custom size is fine. You built a sofa I couldn't find anywhere! You and your brother did a great job and it was such a pleasure dealing with you. You sure gave personalized service and seemed so interested in this particular loveseat even though you are dealing with furniture all day long! I felt like I was your only customer! When I told everyone I ordered a loveseat over the internet, I got a lot of raised eyebrows and comments like "I hope you didn't pay for it yet." I can't wait for everyone to see it and I'm sure you will be getting some more customers in the future. It is just such a pleasant way to buy furniture and the quality is excellent. The delivery men were very pleasant and very careful, too. Thanks again for everything. You couldn't have been nicer and I love the sofa. Please thank your brother for me, too.

E. Pairitz, Illinois, 12/16/04

I LOVE it!!!! The chair and ottoman are a great match to my existing couch! I am honestly amazed at how great of listeners you both are....wow...the power of explanation and digital photographs! Your brother is wonderful and I promise future orders!! I love your personality and customer service. I love the fact it is only you to deal with and not five different channels of customer service personnel - like the big companies out there. The eight weeks to delivery is well worth the time, so long as a person is well informed of what is going on with their order. Thanks for making MY order always seem #1....and for always answering your telephone and e-mail's!!!!! Your company is awesome!

T. Torrance, Arizona, 12/13/04

I just wanted you to know that I absolutely love my new chair & ottoman! It arrived on Saturday and it is perfect. I will refer family & friends to CarolinaChair and I look forward to placing another order in the future. Thank you so very much for delivering such a beautiful piece of furniture! I have already enjoyed snuggling up on the chair with my 5 year old and 1 year old...and looking forward to years of snuggling! Merry Christmas!

S. Mendel, Washington, 11/30/04

Just a note to let you know that we absolutely LOVE OUR COUCH! The color reminds me of fine cocoa powder, such a rich and comfortable fabric. The cushions are so comfortable, and I must say the quality is amazing. Many of my friends thought I was crazy for ordering a couch over the Internet, not trying it for comfort etc. I did my research on how to select a high quality couch, and CarolinaChair had it all! The most comforting part of the process was the way you handled the customer service portion. I must admit, I was not the easiest customer to deal with, many questions, changes etc....but you waited and stood by the product.

p.s. My husband NEVER falls asleep on the couch, and he did the night we got yours. Please tell your brother and the crew at CarolinaChair.com we will highly recommend them.

P. Catroppa, New York, 11/21/04

We love the chair. It is beautiful. Your service was great. The quality is top notch!!

S. McMillan, Georgia, 11/19/04

I have ordered 2 couches, 1 loveseat, 4 chairs and 4 large ottomans from CarolinaChair over the last couple years and I'm planning to order more. All of my orders were with my own fabric and some special modifications, such as wider seat cushions and contrasting welting. The workmanship is superb.

The furniture is extremely comfortable, yet the cushions retain their shape making the furniture piece attractive and plump. I highly recommend CarolinaChair and initially took a chance and placed my first order after reading the testimonials. I am glad I did for I have been very satisfied.

L. Mullen, Illinois, 11/18/04

The couch is fabulous! We love, love, love it! We feel like we got a custom made, handmade couch! I guess that's because it is both of those things! We look forward to spreading the word about your family and the great product you put out...many thanks!

D. Lane, Massachusetts, 11/16/04

Just wanted to say that the chair is Fabulous! And so is the bed part of it. Great workmanship, you guys. I just love it.

M. Malouf, North Carolina, 11/16/04

The sectional is beautiful and comfortable. The service was superb. I got exactly what I wanted at a great price in wonderful time. The new Amigo fabric is SO beautiful, soft and functional. The dining room chairs are stunning. I couldn't be happier.

G. Herlehy, California, 11/11/04

Hi Cathy! I purchased two Hughes chair and 1/2 sleepers with slipcovers about 3 years ago for our vacation home in Florida. We also rent so it was important that we have excellent quality. Well, I can't tell you how pleased we are with them. They look great and look as good as the day they arrived despite excessive use. The mattresses in the chairs are far better than anything I found and I furnished 5 rental properties in the last 3 years. Now we are building our home in Florida and I will be purchasing from Carolinachair.com again! Would highly recommend - great quality and the service was excellent, too!

C. Seidl, New York, 10/24/04

Our sectional is simply gorgeous and dangerously comfortable! The kids love nothing better than to curl up together on it! Thanks for a truly great product, and for service that is simply outstanding. I was very nervous about ordering a sofa over the internet, but you truly provided the best customer service I've ever experienced from any company. Your product is of the best quality, and I'm recommending you to all of my friends. Given what you offer, it is just plain stupid to buy retail! Thanks again.

M.Leslie, New Jersey, 10/12/04

Just wanted to let you know that my sofa and loveseat were delivered yesterday! Needless to say, the photos you sent did not do them justice! They are absolutely beautiful! I love the quality and attention to detail. I will certainly tell my friends that when they are looking for special furniture and want quality and price, to go to CarolinaChair! Once again, thanks for the great service!

M. Graham, New York, 10/12/04

With the choices you recommended (fiber-down cushion option with horizon mink fabric), I think the couch is entirely too comfortable. I've never known a couch to be "dangerous," but that's exactly what we have. You have to be careful not to lie down too early or you'll find yourself 3/4 of the way through the movie or at the tail end of your own cocktail party. We were trying to come up with a name for it and the "Bermuda Triangle" is the only true descriptive name that feels right! It's amazing and you made the process feel good from start to finish. THANK YOU!

J.J. Ossola, Colorado, 10/4/04

Just wanted to send a quick "thank you" for all the great work you and CarolinaChair have done for us. Our home looks 100% better now: the sofa, chairs and throw pillows are beautiful. We really appreciate the quality of the work and the professional manner you and everyone else there displayed.

M. Pawlowski, North Carolina, 10/1/04

I just wanted to let you know how much I love my ottoman. I am so impressed with the workmanship. It looks great in my space and makes my living room look completed. I found new lamps to finish off the room and I truly love it!!

M. Koons, Missouri, 9/30/2004

We received our custom made sectional last week and we absolutely love it! It's perfect and looks just like the photo we sent to you. The quality of your furniture is so much better than what we looked at in the major stores in the city. The cushions are better quality and much more comfortable. We are thrilled to have found you! Thank you so much for your patience in working with us as we decided on dimensions. You are such great people to work with. And, by the way, the delivery guys were great. We have already recommended you to all of our friends. We'll be back soon for a chair or two.

S. Dana, New York, 9/26/04

I'm sending pictures of my chairbed and sofabed as situated in my house. Even though I just received them and haven't used them yet, I love the finished product and the way they fit with my decor. The swatch samples were really the best thing for color coordination. Thanks for everything. I'll be sure to recommend Carolina Chair. view photo of sleeper sofa | view photo of sleeper chair

P.Zoutte, Florida, 9/15/04

I wanted to thank you for your assistance with our Roth Armless Sleeper. We were searching high and low for a queen sleeper that would not monopolize our office. I also had my heart set on a chocolate brown chenille. It seemed an impossible combination until I came across CarolinaChair.com. I was a little nervous about ordering a sofa online but decided to try it since you offered the perfect solution at my fingertips. Wow! We definitely made the right choice! It is quite apparent that your family takes great pride in all aspects of your business. Our sofa is beautiful and arrived so quickly. It is refreshing to deal with a company that offers superior service and product quality. The personal attention given at every level is so far above the norm that it simply could not be compared to other companies. It has been a pleasure working with you. I will certainly pass the word to friends and family. I also look forward to working with you again in the future.

S. Krogman, Georgia, 8/31/04

I simply had to take a moment to relay my experience with CarolinaChair to prospective customers. When I placed the initial order for my sectional, Cathy confirmed it with a note that if there were tall family members, we might want to consider another style as the one we selected had a shorter back. It is a very good thing she did since my husband is 6’4” and often complains about chair backs being uncomfortable. The Crawford collection fits perfectly! The only “glitch” was that when the pieces arrived, I discovered I should have ordered an additional armless chair to do justice to the sectional location in our great room. I called Cathy for “help”, she assured me that they could produce the additional piece quickly and it was on its way to me in one week. Internet shopping does not typically include personal service but you can sure expect that from CarolinaChair! Thanks again.

J. Pierce, Arizona, 8/30/04

Hi, Cathy! We received our chairs on Friday. They look great! Thank you so much for the superb customer service and products.

J. Bate, Colorado, 8/30/04

Just wanted to let you know our beautiful armless sleeper couch for our office arrived a few weeks ago. It is everything you promised and then some! We had much difficulty finding a small enough sleeper couch that would fit in our office for when company visited. I can't tell you how happy I was to find your company. It met all my needs in size not to mention good pricing and no shipping charges or tax for my state which saves a huge amount of money. I chose the microfibre material in black and I just love it! I carefully examined the couch from top to bottom when it arrived as instructed by you. The craftsmanship was outstanding! I have owned several couches in the past and spent at least as much and none of them came close to your standards of construction. You were wonderful help, Cathy, in the decision making in designing my couch - increasing the back a few inches was the right decision. I will definitely do business with you in the future as I have a few more comfy chairs needed for my home and I'm definitely loving the microfibre material. Wish I had discovered you sooner! I think you have a fabulous business and I know by my experience with you and your company that your business will continue to grow by leaps and bounds. I've been giving your website address and high praise of your workmanship to my friends and family. Congratulations on developing such a fine company! Look forward to doing business in the future with you.

L. McDonald, Minnesota, 8/25/04

The sectional is really beautiful and most comfortable. Thanks again for all your help. I never would have believed that purchasing a sofa on-line could be this easy or pleasant!

C. Hayes, Georgia, 8/24/04

The furniture arrived this morning. It is just beautiful. You guys did such a great job....the fabric is matched so perfectly. It not only looks beautiful but it is so comfy. Thanks so much. Can't wait for all my friends to see it. You are the greatest. view photo of customer's custom sectional

C. Treiber, New York, 8/14/04

I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am with the beautiful sleeper sofa your brother made for me. It is absolutely perfect in every way, size, color, and COMFORT! All I can say is I sure am glad I kept surfing the net until I lucked up on your site. Oh yes, the price was just right, too, for such a great sofa. Please tell your brother thanks for me.

B.Landreth, California, 7/31/04

Thanks for the great sectional. I have included my thoughts for others that might be customers in the future:

Over the last few years I have ordered lots of stuff over the internet (clothes, computers, even two sets of car tires) but nothing like a sofa. I was not sure that I was doing the right thing. I researched Carolina Chair for days looking for anything negative. I couldn't find anything but praise. Your quality and price were unbeatable in the Denver area, and believe me I shopped hard!

Carolina Chair was the only manufacturer that showed actual pictures of the products being made. The seating and cushion foam is top quality - I looked at the makers web sites. Every time I called your company, I got a person or a quick return call. The fabric swatches I asked for arrived fast. All these thing led me to take a chance. I could not be happier. If you are reading this and are concerned about quality of the fabric and the craftsmanship, I understand. Ordering from Carolina Chair is a smart move. I had a good feeling about it before I got the sofa. Now it is confirmed. And I just love getting a good deal.

Cathy thanks again. I have never really written a letter like this, but you all deserve it. I can't wait to show off the new sofa. I was talking about this new sofa earlier in the week at a sort of family reunion. My cousins wife was more than skeptical where I told her I ordered a couch on the internet. She joked about the turmoil she and her husband had over their recent sofa buying experience. They couldn't agree on the way different ones sat, soft or firm. I was reminded that my wife and I had similar disagreements when we bought our last couch. But your sofa sits just right for both of us. Soft, but not sinking in so far you cant get out. Firm but not so firm your rear goes to sleep. I know it sounds a little like "Goldilocks and the Three Bears", but it really is just right.

Best of luck to you and wishes for continues success, view photo sent by customer

K. Thornham, Colorado, 7/24/04

I got the new sofa/chaise today. It's beautiful!!! And, it fits perfect in that small, weird space I needed. The color is also perfect. Thanks so much for putting this all together for me!

S. Ethun, Florida, 7/21/04

The couch, chair and ottoman arrived today and they are absolutely wonderful. My parents are all sacked out on them right now. Very high quality! I would definitely order from you again. Thank you for your expediency and politeness. Grateful ...

L. Prorok, California, 7/19/04

I took delivery this afternoon and the Loveseat is superb - every bit as beautiful as I imagined it and just perfect. As with custom furniture, not a speck has been omitted. Every thread is in its place and every seam is properly sewed. There are no extraneous threads "dangling" on the ends of the pillows and/or the couch. Know how many pieces of supposed "high-end" furniture I have seen with dangling threads or springs sticking out? Far too many! As to the most important thing, it is just soooo...comfortable. Everytime I sit on it, it takes your cares away. As for buying online via your website, the whole process was very simple. I will be purchasing again in the near future - that's the ultimate compliment! Thank you all at Carolina Chair that worked on my loveseat!

Hey Cathy - just a note to let you know how great we think our new chair is! It's in my craft room, which will also double as a guest room since we now have a dual function beautiful piece of furniture in there. I told my husband, Don, he needs to take a picture with our digital camera and show you. Thanks to you and all the wonderful people at Carolina Chair. I've already had a friend stop by to come see the chair - I am spreading the word about you guys.

L. Uchiyama, Washington, 6/28/04

I just received my Hughes sleeper sofa and love it. It's super comfortable and the Microfibre fabric is great, very soft. The size is perfect for our small home office/guest room. I looked all over for a full size sleeper sofa that was not too long for the room. Yours was the only one I found that fit the specs I needed and was the perfect look too! Keep up the great work. We'll be back for a sectional some day.

T. Shope, Pennsylvania, 6/19/04

Cathy - It's here! Our Hughes sleeper chair arrived today & looks great. My dog has taken immediate possession....but I'm demanding my share of time as well. Even my husband loved it. Delivery was just fine - they called ahead, gave us a time, showed up when expected & carried it in & put it where we wanted it. Enclosed is a picture. Home at Last...

R.Rabinowitz, Maryland, 6/11/04

My decision to purchase to sofa sleeper from Carolina Chair was clearly one of the best ones I have ever made. From the moment I found the website, I knew that this was the type Company I wanted to deal with. I had already been to 4 major stores in New York City who told me they did not have, nor could not get, the fabric I needed / wanted (a light pastel). I had just about given up hope about getting the sofa I wanted when I happened upon the Carolina Chair website and within just a few minutes I knew I had come to the right place. The entire transaction was seamless - from the selection of the fabric, to the placement of the order, to the delivery of the product. The shippers arrived on schedule and when they removed the plastic covering, I could not believe what a fabulous sofa I had purchased - more beautiful than I had expected and of finer quality than I had seen anywhere else. I have recommended them without hesitation to friends and family. They are an anomaly in the business world today - they care about what they do and how they treat their customers. Their pride of workmanship is evident in the final product. It has been an absolute delight doing business with them and I give them my highest recommendation.

Please tell all your potential customers to not hesitate to discuss their special needs when ordering your wonderful furniture. The innovative modifications you made to our Hughes sofa are perfect! As I had told you, I am a BIG man, and trying to buy retail and get the quality construction, strength, and support I needed in a sofa just was not possible. Not only is our new CarolinaChair Hughes sofa beautiful, it provides tremendous personal comfort and bears up extremely well under my "extra weight." I know we will get many long years of service from this sofa, and I can't thank you enough for your creative efforts to customize my order!

I wanted to let you know that we received our furniture early this morning in great condition, and it is just beautiful. We are extremely pleased with its quality, color, and comfort. Now, we know where to shop when we are ready to redecorate our living room. Thank you again. It really was a pleasure doing business with you.

My chaise was delivered with care today and it's just beautiful. It is in perfect condition and oh so comfortable. I just love it! Thanks so much.

L.Coyle, Virginia, 5/14/04

Our furniture just arrived this afternoon and it is wonderful!! Perfect color (just like the fabric swatch), excellent construction, and very, very comfortable! Thank you so much for your great service and superior product!!

I recently ordered a sectional sofa from CarolinaChair.com. I received it yesterday, and it is absolutely beautiful and so very comfortable. I have learned that the hardest part in finding a sectional sofa is to find one that will fit through doorways and up narrow stairways. The sectional I ordered came with a corner chair and was not overly large. This allowed me to fit it into a small third story room. CarolinaChair also made a modification in the frame at no extra charge. My husband dropped one of the cushions in the garage in the process of moving things around. I was able to wash the cushion cover in the washing machine, as it was microfibre. It came out as beautiful as ever. Thank you so much. I am so glad I took a chance on an online company. The free delivery and free ottoman were an added bonus!

J. Truog, Kansas, 5/13/04

The sectional is fabulous! It looks GREAT in our little efficiency condo and is so very comfortable. Even my husband says it's extremely nice and comfortable -- and he normally doesn't comment on such things! Just for fun, I'm attaching a picture showing it in its new home! You've been great to work with and I appreciate very much all of the assistance and attention you gave our order. view photo sent by customer

The couch arrived today and I just love it. I have been telling everybody about you guys. Your service, quality and price are not to be beat. I am still waiting on a Thomasville sofa I ordered two months before I ordered from you and that was not a custom ordered couch. I wish you all well with this venture and if I ever need another upholstered piece, I will sure have CarolinaChair do it.

S. Fein, New Jersey, 4/23/04

The sectional arrived this morning and it is absolutely exceptional! It looks really fantastic in my family room and the fabric is just perfect with my floors, oriental rugs and leather chairs. Thanks so much for the excellent service and the early and thorough delivery. My number one hobby is sewing so I really appreciate the attention to detail in the cording on the pillows and pattern matching. From experience, I know what a difference it makes when these things are done right. Tell your brother and his team thank you for me. It has been a pleasure working with you and we will certainly work with you again when the need arises. Excellent job!

L. Parker, Ohio, 4/21/04

The sofas arrived yesterday around 4:30pm. They were delivered in excellent condition. I spent the evening testing both of them. And I've to say that I am very glad that I ordered these sofas from you. Both of them are of excellent quality and the cushions are much better than my expectation. I only wished that I would have known about your company earlier. Naturally, I'll let all my friends know about your fine products. And I hope your company will prosper in the years to come. It's always a good thing to see people make good products that exceed expectation. Best regards.

Roger K, Oregon, 4/17/04

My sectional pieces arrived yesterday, and I'm so excited! You were right...they are absolutely beautiful! Of course I can't take credit for the color since my husband picked it out...but it really is lovely and lightens up the room so much (we had dark slipcovers on the old sofas which absorbed a lot of light, but also hid a multitude of sins!) Also, I can't thank you enough for going over the different styles with me...I am very pleased with how sturdy and well-made the pieces are. Any comparable pieces I had seen here in L.A. would have cost me at least twice what I paid with Carolina Chair, and I would not have been able to choose the type of fabric or color. Nor would I have received the wonderful personalized service that you provided! Thanks again for all your help!

B. Cervantes, California, 4/13/04

My husband and I just received our Hughes chair and 1/2, and we love it. The quality construction is unmistakeable. Its sturdy appearance makes our store bought upholstered furniture look insubstantial in contrast. We have decided to purchase a sofa now that we have seen what wonderful furniture you build. Initially apprehensive about purchasing furniture without being able to sit on it first, we were gratified to see that our chair "fits" both my 6'5" husband and my 5'7" self. As a bonus, it provides the back support my husband needs. I especially appreciate that we can purchase custom slip-covers down the road to get a new look. With furniture of this quality, I expect that we may purchase slip-covers in a few years rather than replacing the furniture, making Carolina Chair a very cost-effective option. I hope more people will take a chance on Carolina Chair; you sell just the kind of product consumers need more of: high quality at a reasonable price. I also loved working with your sales people by phone: they were more than willing to make the custom adjustments I requested. Where else would I get such individualized treatment without paying for high end custom furniture?

S. McAfee, Oregon, 4/9/04

Hi to all - This is to let you know that the sectional couch, loveseat, corner chair and ottoman arrived and are beautiful. Although the room to put them in isn't yet done (so they aren't hooked together and placed yet), we jammed them into the living room and already love them. A lot of people thought I was "brave" to buy online, but it turned out to be a great decision! Thanks so much...

L. Murphy, Illinois, 4/3/04

My sofabed arrived today and I just wanted to let you know how much I love it. It's absolutely beautiful and amazingly comfortable and plush! This is a great piece of furniture that I will enjoy and treasure for many, many years to come. I can't believe that you were able to produce this superb piece for this price. It's an amazing, amazing value. I'm thrilled with it and am truly grateful for the care that was taken in making it.

S.Goodman, New York, 3/31/04

I couldn't be happier with my new couch. I have been shopping around a lot and Carolina Chair was the only company that had the exact sectional I was looking for in the dimensions I needed. My husband who was very wary of buying any couch without sitting on it first was extremely satisfied with the comfort and quality. The staff was extremely helpful and courteous on the phone and my couch was delivered exactly when they said it would be. The couch looks beautiful in our den...now if only Carolina Chair made wall units! With much gratitude...

P. Dayan, New York, 3/23/04

Thank-you so much for the beautiful couch and prompt delivery. After looking around many stores, I finally found exactly what I wanted from Carolina Chair. No one believed I bought a couch online, but everyone is now convinced that it is terrific. Thanks again.

J. Schultz, New York, 3/10/04

I just received my Roth sectional - GORGEOUS, MAGNIFICENT, BEAUTIFUL. Thank you. It's very nice and arrived in perfect condition.

P.Dantzig, New York, 3/8/04

After a LOT of research on construction online (CC offers eight-way hand tied and kiln dried hardwood frame) and warranties (CC has LIFETIME on everything, but the fabric), etc), I ordered the Hughes sofa from Carolina Chair. I received it in October and I am very pleased. Their prices are good and they offer free shipping and a 30 day return. Also, if you do not see exactly what you want they can custom make it, as they are the manufacturer. I had them change the back pillows on the Hughes sofa to provide more back support for my 6'3" husband and it is just perfect! I am VERY pleased! I ordered the sofa with the upgraded feather/ down wrapped cushions, it has a firm, but soft seat. I even had a small problem with the fabric. It was not their fault, but the fabric manufacturer's and they went out of their way to make it right for me. I have to admit that I was a little hesitant about ordering from them as I could not touch (although the fabric swatches helped!) or sit on the sofa, but now I am glad that I took the chance. Everyone who comes over and sits on it LOVES it and cannot believe that I got such value and quality sight unseen and over the internet no less. Thank you very much for making such a wonderful sofa that I am sure we will enjoy for years to come.

B. Curtis, Arizona, 3/2/04

The furniture came and it's just beautiful. The quality is wonderful. I really had misgivings about buying furniture over the internet, but buying from CarolinaChair was a total joy. I wouldn't hesitate a minute to buy more furniture from you. Thank you so much for all your incredible service. I really do hope we'll be doing business together again!

C. Buechler, New York, 2/21/04

Carolina Chair, where do I start? Their prices are very competitive and their styles are great, but I feel what makes Carolina Chair stand alone is the unbelievable color choices, custom options and the service. First, where in the world can you shop for furnture and get over 100 color choices as well as many fabric choices? It's unheard of. Second, Carolina Chair offers many styles and if for some reason you want something different, they'll make it for you! Shape, size, and height! Where else can you find a company that caters to your every furniture specification needed? Last and the most important, Carolina Chair's service is impeccable. From the first time I called and spoke to Cathy Fry, until my chair was delivered, she was helpful and quick to respond to every call and e-mail. She answered all my questions and was a joy to speak to. Oh yeah and let's not forget the free freight. Where else do you see that in our world? I will refer Carolina Chair at every opportunity.

J. Ugarge, New York, 2/18/04

I became very interested in Carolina Chair after I read the complimentary article in the Wall Street Journal about you last year. The idea of ordering a sofa on the internet took some getting used to, even though I have bought furniture on ebay. But after shopping around here in New York City for a new sofa and seeing how much they cost, I decided to go ahead and order one of yours. I am so pleased with it that I am getting one each for my two daughters who are just now moving into their own apartments. Thank you for being so helpful and reliable and, most of all, for sending me such an outstanding sofa.

K. Klyce, NY, 1/28/04

Carolina Chair is a wonderful company to do business with as a retail customer. They responded to my questions quickly, took my order and delivered my chaise lounge sooner than expected. The chaise is gorgeous - well made, beautiful and very comfortable. I ordered it for our bedroom and every time I sit in it I tell my husband that I want to carry it around the house with me wherever I sit down. The entire experience in dealing with Carolina Chair was wonderful from order through product use!

D. Self, California, 1/23/04

I am very happy with the furniture and the delivery people were as nice as everyone I have dealt with in your company. I will recommend you to my friends. Thank you so much for this nice experience.
