Great sofa

"Wonderful, cottage-style sofa. Extremely comfortable and well made. Any piece of furniture with a slipcover will have a more casual look to it, and it's very easy to fluff....nothing more than I would do on any other sofa. Highly recommend for comfort and casual style in your home."

Great Product, Awesome Customer Service

"I purchased the Portico sofa about 6 months ago and I love it. I got this sofa because I purchased another sofa from C&B a year and half ago and the sofa did not hold up well. The fabric began to pill very badly and the cushions sunk after about 6 months and looked awful. I called C&B customer service, who got in touch with the manufacturer. The manufacturer would not stand behind their product; but, after sending in pictures of our sofa, C&B decided to stand behind the product as the retailer. They took the old couch back and allowed us to use the full value we paid for the couch toward another sofa. Awesome customer service!
We custom-ordered the portico slip-covered sofa in sand colored fabric. Customer service and the store we worked with (Leawood, KS), were a huge help. They helped us apply our credit, gave us fabric to take home to match our other furniture, and showed us many great options that fit what we told them we needed. The custom order was supposed to take six weeks, but only took a little over four, and the C&B store called us promptly when it arrived to arrange the delivery.
This sofa is great! The sand color is a really nice looking neutral that goes with anything. The fabric feels very nice and durable. The seat cushions are foam pieces that are wrapped in down feathers. The down wrap makes them very comfortable and the foam does a great job of making sure the cushions keep their shape. The back cushions and pillows are both down filled and very comfortable. The down is wrapped in a protective cloth that allows no feathers to get out. I have allergies and i have never had a problem because of the extra cover they use. You will need to fluff the back cushions and pillows often because they are solely down, but it's no big deal and the sofa looks brand new after. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants a piece that looks great (semi traditional and contemporary), is very comfortable, and can be washed easily by removing the slip covers and putting them in the washer.
Thank you C&B for a great product!"

Awesome couch!

"I was looking for a comfortable couch to watch tv or read a book. This couch is that and more! It is a great nap couch as well. I have a dog so the slip covers were a must. I love that you just sink into the couch. I would say to the reviews that talk about needing to fluff the cushions, yes you do need to do that periodically, but it is a down couch after all! I also have two of the swivel chairs and they are just as great. I would recommend these pieces to someone who is looking for an incredibly comfortable couch. I don't think it is for someone who has a formal room. I'd buy it again in a hearbeat!"

love my portico sofa

"absolutely wonderful for slip covered sofas - incredibly comfortable, deep seating, and very easy to fall asleep on :) there is some effort required for maintaining the fluffiness of the pillows, but if you're buying a down couch you know well ahead what you're signing up for. gorgeous stock colors - i bought the couch and the swivel chair and love them both."

disappointed

"This is a very comfortable couch and it looks great in the store. However, once you get it home the cushions smoosh down and constantly need to be fluffed to look decent. The fluffing is quite difficult with these huge cushions, and after a few months, not even fluffing three times a day works and it just looks very sloppy all the time. Of course you can't figure this out until it is too late to return it. As someone who is on a very tight budget and searched high and low for the perfect sofa before spending money, I am heartbroken to be stuck with a messy looking couch for years to come."

Disappointed

"This couch is beautiful, and comfortable at first. The only way to know that it becomes uncomfortable is after you've had it long enough to not be able to return it. The fact that it's a feather filled couch seems like a good idea, but then like the couch it quickly deflates :( I would only buy this couch if you're ok with frequently fluffing it (must be strong to do the seat cushions)."

Beautiful sofa

"The sofa has beautiful styling and is very comfortable. The only issue is that the back cushions require frequent "fluffing" and tend to become compacted. They tend not to reach the top of the sofa back, due to their composition of feathers."

Great Sofa

"I saw the sofa on the cover of the catalog, went into the store, sat on it for awhile in the many different positions like I would at home and loved it..It was comfortable and a good place to relax with your feet up..as someone who is afraid of color..spruce is right on target..not to bright but colorful"

Spruce Color is Sage

"After viewing this couch in the showroom and then living with it for four days now I can confidently say that its list color (spruce) is not accurately reproduced on their website. It's more a sage color i.e. light GREEN. So beware if you are considering purchasing this couch over the internet.
That aside it is a very comfortable couch so far."

A sofa should be comfy

"The 1st sofa my husband and I agreed on. The slipcover is actually soft and not stiff like the usual stiff canvas slipcover. And the down/feather cushions are incredibly comfy. Will enjoy this in our living room for years to come."
