Re: Help us in our sectional decision please !
Ashley is junk. I don't often say that about a maker, but that line is...Fairmont I'm not familiar with, sorry. $ 3K for a leather sectional out the door means compromises somewhere - I can guarantee you that. It may be in the cover, or the suspension, or the frame, but quality pieces are double (and even triple) that price so they have go cut out something. Read through the forum for tips on what to look for and use your eyes to buy - not the pitch of the salesman who likely really doesn't know. 'Bonded' leather is garbage, stay away from that as a cover. Check the frame flex by lifting up one end of the sectional and see how far it lifts off the ground (twist). If more than 2" it has a weak frame. Push on the arms outwards. They should be solid with no more than 1/2" lateral movement....etc, etc. Good luck
