I had a great experience with Furniture Envy. I went in thinking they were probably just like all the other custom sofa shops I had visited, but this place is definitely different. There doesn't seem to be anything they say "no" to. Can you make this one 6 inches longer? Yes. Can you make the back 2 1/2 inches lower? Yes. Can you make the angle of the back to the seat slightly tighter? Yes. Can you make it in leather? Yes -- every sofa is available in every fabric and every leather, and they have an enormous selection of both. Can you take the wood trim from that one and apply it to this one? Yes... I figured the catch would be in the price you pay for all that flexibility, but I ended up paying only a small amount more than for a stock sofa at a regular store, which I found quite reasonable given that this is a custom piece. I've had my Furniture Envy sofa for about a year and a half and I am still in love with it. It's just as comfortable and beautiful as the day it arrived. (I'm sitting on it as I type this review.) So many people have said to me, "I never knew there was such thing as a sink-in comfortable leather couch", which of course is exactly the couch I wanted. (That, of course, was pre-covid -- back when you could actually invite people over). I love this store, and I also appreciate the opportunity to buy from a local business....
Read moreI was a little disappointed with the West Elm sectional I had originally purchased for my living room because as beautiful as some of their mid century furniture can be, I also think the value you get for what you pay is questionable. Enter Furniture Envy Sofas--a local SF business that a friend of mine had recommended to me after I made complimentary remarks about his couch, which I mistakenly thought had come from Room&Board. So, during one of my frequent visits to the bay, I stopped by the showroom and worked with the ever cheerful and knowledgeable Shirley to design my custom sectional--which now fits the space perfectly! The whole process from design to selecting fabric to delivery was essentially seamless. In just eight weeks, a beautiful, custom made sectional was delivered to me in Seattle--all at a cost that was on par with what I paid for my other West Elm sectional, but this one is larger, more comfortable, and much more durable. Thanks,...
Read moreAwesome experience working with both Shirley (the owner, female founded) and Snow. I looked into other stores such as seventh Avenue, Joy Bird, six penny, etc along with another shop in the marina that does custom couches. furniture envy had the best pricing as well as most timely shipping. We got our couch within five weeks! I assumed that custom couches were super expensive, but after considering the quality of places like joy Bird and 7th Avenue, you can custom design your couch - everything from the foot base wood, the fabric, the cushion width, height - all of the dimensions, the firmness or softness, AND it was less expensive and arrived more quickly than going through one of the other cookie cutter stores that do not offer the same level of customization. Additionally, the couch is manufactured in LA. highly recommend for furniture envy! we are...
