couch or sectional?

[SleazyDream]

lets say i was furnishing a house from scratch - which would you pick?

a leather couch and love seat with a matching massague wide ass recliner or a leather corner sectional with a matching wide ass massaguge recliner?

i usually get the 1/2 leather 1/2 vinal stuff - no need for the back of the couch facing the wall to be real leather - as long as my ass is on real leather i'm happy.

[myjah]

hmmm...depends on the room set up and size

[Kalifornia]

sectionals are nice

[Juicy D. Links]

[ProfitPrograms]

if you have the room - sectional - without a doubt - leather

[detoxed]

i like sectionals

[SleazyDream]

either will fit

[SleazyDream]

the sectional has recliners built into it that face forward to the big screen....

Hey You!!!!

Well......I don't know if this is the advice you are looking for but here goes......

I personally would not puchase a matching couch or sectional with a love seat. If you are starting from scratch I would choose things that compliment each other but have their own style and identity. Everything matching, (in my mind only) is boring......Depending on your lifestyle is the type of leather that I would purchase.......For you, I would go with something sharp that won't look bad after you have beat it up a little.....too soft makes for an ugly look quickly.

Don't look to fill up a house too quickly with stuff, buy as you live in the area and see how you want to live in the space. Buy whatever you love.....but at the end of the day, but stuff that has good construction.......forget about something facing the wall, just make sure it doesn't fall apart. A good sofa should last you more than several years.

Thats my opinion! Good luck and have fun! Can't wait to see you soon!

[Muffin]

Sectionals are great and they even have some now that are really cool and double wide.....but please....please.....please......no recliners, no drink holders built in!!!!!!!!!!

Thank You!

Ooooh! If you were my husband, no way would I allow you to buy a sectional with those built in recliners. What else does it have cup holders & little pockets? It's a couch, not a car in my opinion.

Go with just the standard leather couch, love seat, & recliner. That never goes out of style.

If you really want a sectional, just go standard w/ no frills & also still get a recliner

Now aren't you glad you're not married to me, hehe!

i can't decide - the sectional is cool - but not sure if i'll keep this place long term and sectionals don't fit everywhere like standard couches do....

plus i think skufty would see out the w i n d o w better with the couches then the sectional...

but i LIKE cool stuff..


i duno

[Shortbread]

I would have to say sectional. But just be careful that you make sure it will fit before you buy it. Even though it says sectional, in some instances there are only a couple pieces and one could be really long and not fit. But sectional is my ideal!

[pure energy]

Go for the sectionals.

[Jman]

only got room for one of those in this place though - but it IS a must have item.

[Holly]

Definitely couch and loveseat. I personally couldn't handle one of those ugly ass lazy boy recliner deals, but I'd get a nice "chair and a half" with a big ottoman. But I know most guys like the traditional tv watching recliner chairs. You can still find those that don't look like yucky guy recliners if you look around.

No way would anyone bring a sectional into my house, though.

That's what I'm talking 'Bout

[Babagirls]

COUCH IS BETTER

sectionals suck, they start breaking really easily. it all starts with one of the built in reclines, then its all downhill from there

[SleazyDream]

i'm starting to think more and more couch, loveseat and wide ass recliner are the way to go.

[FreeFastHost]

I have a leather couch, they're very nice, but cost way more (not sure if that's an issue for you). I'd post pics of it but i'm too lazy to go downstairs.

[Odie]

couches are the way to go, I am personally shopping for a couch set right now n the sales guy made a good point...where as if u ever decide to move or want new furniture, it will be difficult to rearrange the sectional and u can't really split the two pieces apart. They'll look funny apart and what if they don't suit the room?? also, with a couch u can mix and match easier than u would be able to if u needed to

[Sly_RJ]

A massage chair? Hmm...

That one is actually okay. I could live with that, although I would still have to put a big ottoman in front of it when you weren't using it. I was gonna say one of the main requirements would have to be some sort of feet or legs on it that put it up off the ground. If it sits almost flat on the floor or on one of those big round pedestal things, I wouldn't like it. I've never seen one that rocked that looked worth a damn.

I'm a girl, and I said sectional

[Mr Pheer]

I have a leather couch, chair and coffe table... matching set for sale in vegas... I replaced it with a sectional

I sale cheap just to get it out of my hose... anybody in vegas need it?

[stev0]

sectionals are nice, but depending on the size they can be a pain in the ass to move.

I concur. And sectionals look too contemporary; go for a little more class.

the couches are actually more comfy

[quiet]

definitely couches. i owned a sectional a couple of years ago, would not buy another one.

[reynold]

I'd say sectional!

[SleazyDream]

sat in both today - the couches are cheaper - can be moved much easier - are MUCH better quality and just seem like the right move......
