We purchased a new couch this summer. It took us about six months of serious searching to find the one that would fit our family. The couch needed to be big enough to fit each member of the family, fit in our front room, have attached cushions, be comfortable if upright or prone, and be under a set price. We were just about to give in and get a compromise couch when I found this one at Macy's in Alexandria, VA. I was taking a walk through a mall near the conference hotel to put steps on my pedometer. Fortunately, the same model was available at the Macy's in Ohio, too. It is very similar to a couch at the Italian furniture store near our home, but it was half the price and just a little shorter on the ell. It has a classic, clean look, and the leather has been easy to clean up after sticky hands. Our "no eating in the living room" seems to be overlooked by 2-yr-olds. This same 2-yr-old even tested out the responsiveness of the warranty concerning damage by toddlers and ball-point pens. Turns out that our warranty would have replaced the entire couch for deliberate yet barely visible markings made by children, but not if done by a dog. We chose to keep the damaged couch rather than have to purchase a new warranty on another new couch. So far, it appears to be working pretty well for our family.
