    Default Henredon questions

    Hi,

    I'm a first-time poster but have been reading and learning for awhile. We're about to embark on a long overdue makeover of our family room. Finding just the right sofa has proven to be more of a challenge than I expected and I found myself feeling a bit like Goldilocks as each of the sofas we tried was either too hard, too shallow, too low, too something. We were looking for something with a deep seat and tall back that was comfortable to sink into. We have finally agreed on a sofa from Henredon's Fireside custom collection which seems to have the proportions and features that we want. I thought we were well on our way until I looked at our fabric options and nearly all of them listed rayon as their primary fabric content. So that brings me to my questions...

    First off, where would you rank Henredon in terms of quality? We do not have an H&M budget but are looking for quality that will last. (We're replacing a 22-year old Bernhardt sectional that gave us 15 good years.)

    As to fabric, I have been told that rayon should be avoided because it is not as durable and long-wearing as other fabric options. Would you agree with this or does it depend on tightness of weave or other factors? Frankly, I was shocked to find so much rayon in Henredon's fabric lines so I'm hoping I've been misinformed. If that is the case, I'll revisit their fabric samples since I currently have found only one fabric and I'm not that excited about it. My other consideration is whether to purchase this COM.

    I'm getting over the sticker shock of going with COM. If I have to pay more to get the fabric I want, I'm willing to do that since I'll be living with it for a long time. However, after reading your very informative response to another poster asking about COM and the reason why it is so expensive, I'm concerned about going this route. I wouldn't purchase 2nd quality fabric although I would likely buy it from one of the chain fabric stores known more for their prices than their expertise or service.

    Do you have any advice to offer? Duane, do you carry Henredon and, if so, would you be able to give me a price on this sofa?

    Thanks so much for your help!

    Christine
