Feathers Everywhere!!

"I bought this sofa less than a year ago and I already had the cushions replaced. The pillows do not hold their shape at all and the feathers are everywhere poking you. I have a blanket over it so I can sit comfortably without getting poked. Very disappointed."

lasted less than a year

"I bought this sofa and matching chair last April and already had to replace it. The seat is way too deep to sit comfortably and the pillows don't hold their shape at all. There were a bunch of feathers all over the place which poke you and make a mess. Waste of money!"

Wonderful sofa!

"My husband and I purchased the Verano in Aurora canvas. Not only is it a comfortable sofa, but it also blends well with the rest of our decor. We really wanted an inviting, livable sofa more than a decorative piece. However, this does both in my opinion! It looks so nice and classy in our living room. You can add different colored pillows to suit the season / occasion or whatever your mood is at the time! We are happy with this sofa and recommend it."

"My son and I sat on every sofa in the store and decided quickly on the Verano, which was the MOST comfortable one by a mile. I did not like the pale fabric so I custom ordered the sofa in a cobalt velvet. It was delivered last week and it is everything we thought it would be. It does have a slouchy edge to it, which makes it perfect for our family room. I have had sofas with solid down in the past and they're a hassle to plump. This down-wrapped foam is a wonderful compromise. You sink in but it doesn't flatten the cushions. They did a smashing job with the custom fabric and delivery. When I see a friend sink in to the sofa and tuck her feet up, I know it's not just me that thinks this sofa is the bomb. I'm really happy with it."

Very Disappointed.

"We have purchased many pieces of furniture from C&B and have always been happy with our choices until this couch. Looked great in pictures and in the show room but less than a month in our home it looks like it is 5 years old. Feathers are coming out of the cushions. Both the pillows and cushions look like they have crushed in. We try to fluff them back up but it still looks bad. Not what I expected for nearly a $2,000 couch. More importantly, not what I expected out of C&B."

Not meant for sitting!

"My husband & I purchased this couch less than 3 months ago & we're already shopping around for a new one (we definitely will NOT be looking at C&B). This sofa looks great on the showroom floor & we were very excited to buy it. However, just a few short weeks after it arrived, the cushions began to flatten & feathers started poking out, ending up all over the floor around it. Now, after 3 months the cushions are actually CONCAVE. (See attached photo). Please note that neither my husband or I are overweight. He's a marathoner & I workout 5x/week, so our weight is NOT the issue. This couch is poorly made & simply not durable. What a waste of money! Caveat emptor: I do NOT recommend purchasing this or any other C&B couch."

Looks great until it's been sat on...

"This couch is undeniably beautiful. Super deep and comfy but after only two months of ownership the cushions are constantly flattened and needing to be shaken and hit to get some semblance of shape back, and there are constantly white feathers escaping and ending up all over the house. The white feathers really show on the dark fabric so that is definitely dispapointing. In principal its a fantastic couch, but the practicality is not there. I can't recommend :("

Can't Wait

"I fell in love at first site. Couch doesn't fit thru apt door...Having Sofa Dr. come to my rescue (I hope), to disassemble / reassemble. Bought the piece from CB Outlet and cannot return. Sad today, hopefully I'll be happy with the outcome and the couch will survive. Consider your the door width when you purchase this item."

Crispy Couch. Boom.

"A great couch for entertaining your best friend for salads, or hanging alone and watching There Will Be Blood.
Measure your doorways first, it's hard to get in there!

(the nickname is ironic)

"Because this couch is fantastic! Seriously, Verano. Lazer. Accuracy. Recommended for some deep seat drinking home alone in one's apartment and watching The Town or Mad Men or some other crispy programming. To be fair, it does cost a nice little chunk of change, but it's more than worth it."

Biggest comfiest couch

"The couch was ready earlier than expected and the delivery men even showed up a few hours early. The sofa is huge! I was somewhat worried it would fit through my door because the custom colors cannot be returned. Good thing it fit just fine. It is so comfortable and can fit a lot of people. The cushions and pillows have a lot of down so you sink very low into the couch. My dog likes to sit on top of the pillows so I do have to fluff them regularly."

Love the comfort, hate the maintenance

"When we first sat on this couch we knew it was right for us. We love to lounge and watch TV, so the depth of this couch was great for two people to lay side by side very comfortably. The first issue I had was that every time someone sat down and then got up the couch looked like a mess and had to be fluffed up again..and again...and again. This has become my constant struggle with this couch. I am starting to notice that the cushions are also losing their shape due to normal use. Lately, after 6 months of ownersip, I have started to notice feathers peeking out from the fabric of the couch. Now I get poked with one at least once a day. I hate to pull them out because I'm afraid the whole couch is going to look deflated soon. This shouldn't be happening right?
Overall, this couch is beautiful and comfy, but I'm having major issues with it's construction and worry that it won't last long before it completely loses it's shape and beauty.

Comfiest Sofa in the Store!

"After using a futon for a sofa for almost seven years, my husband and I were in the market for a full-size, comfy sofa. We tested every model in the C&B store, flomping down to gauge cushion feel and figure out which models had good seat depth (very scientific measurements). Some were too deep, some too stiff, but the Verano had the best balance of comfy cushions and deep-but-not-too-deep seating.
Now that we've had the sofa in our apartment for about a week, we are certain we made the right choice! It felt a bit strange to sit on at first, because we were so used to the now-lumpy futon, but it is definitely now part of the family. Large enough to sit three extremely comfortably, and four with no problem.
My only wish is that the standard fabric color was darker. There are other fabric choices, of course, but we had to go with the standard because there was a chance the sofa would be undeliverable to our apartment (due to a tricky door situation) - selecting a non-standard fabric color is a custom order and non-returnable. The fabric itself feels a bit stiffer than the floor model but will surely soften up with age and use."

Great sofa

"The Verona sofa is super comfortable and I would have given it a 5 star rating except for the fabric. I love the way the stock fabric looks but it tends to be a little scratchy on the skin. It is perfect for lounging and relaxing. I love Crate and Barrel and the quality of the furniture. I want more!"

A Sofa you won't want to leave

"Sitting in this sofa at the store, it was one of the most comfortable sofa's I'd ever tried. I feared my wife wouldn't go for it because it was so deep, but thankfully it fits very nicely in our house. We even chose a standard color and its perfect. Had it for 6 weeks now, and every time I sit down I smile. It is that comfortable."

Comfy!

"After having leather sofas in our den for the past 15 years, we decided to make a change and am glad we did! Purchased the 90" sofa in the stock color which is a beautiful neutral/linen color and provides a great palatte on which to add colorful pillows. The sofa is extra deep and easily seats 4 and very comfortable. Highly recommend adding a couple extra pillows because of it's depth. Haven't yet had any food spills so can't comment on that, but did have the fabric treated because of the light color. Looking forward to many years of use."

So spacious!

"This couch is the perfect addition to our new living room. Its deep enough for my 6'5 husband to comfortably enjoy the football game with a few friends or for a guest to crash when in town. We love it!
Great tip- order extra fabric just in case. You never know if you color will go out of stock."
