Restoration Hardware Sofas
Duane,
We are looking at a RH 118"w, 44"d Kensington Sofa, new price $4,300 seller asking $3,700.
I think it is very expensive being used, but the seller may go down to 3 (I hope).
My budget is ~$4k for a living room set, sofa/loveseat or chair and ottoman, if you have something that meets that price point in stock, please let me know.
I'm not as concerend about style as I am size, I'm 6'2" so I need a big comfy couch I can lay on as needed and I like leather. Since H&M is out of my price range, I've been looking at the RH, but I'm not a super fan of the distressed look.
Any advice is appreciated!
Re: Restoration Hardware Sofas
That's hilarious! That sofa is more used-up than it is used.
Has lots of leather sag and cushion crush and he STILL wants $ 3,700 for it? No way....that's a $ 1,000 sofa. Tops. And I might not even pay that for it were I in the market for it.
For $ 3K you can buy a brand new Bradington-Young sofa and be way ahead of the game.
Re: Restoration Hardware Sofas
Thanks for the quick reply. PM sent, and for the record, those sofas look like that in store!
Re: Restoration Hardware Sofas
RH certainly has an interesting style. New furniture that looks like it came straight off the south porch of a low-gpa frat house is the hottest thing. Not for me, but you can't argue with their results. People love this stuff. The thing that rally gets me - the crooked legs. They look like they've been whacked one too many times by a vacuum cleaner. A big ol' Kirby.
Re: Restoration Hardware Sofas
I can't buy off that the new ones look like that! With that much stretched leather on the cushions and that broke-down look? Really? If we delivered a sofa like that to a Hancock and Moore customer we'd be tarred and feathered. It looks terrible.
Re: Restoration Hardware Sofas
Here's a pic from their catalog. To my eye, the arms also don't look square either. Go here and check out the legs on that ottoman. They're not hiding anything. That's really how they're supposed to look. Just think of reduction in callbacks. Wrinkles? Scratches? Lumpy, misshapen cushions? Dents/nicks/wiggles? They're supposed to be like that! Enjoy your new furniture.
Re: Restoration Hardware Sofas
HA! Well, if they can get their customer base to buy into that shabby-chic look they're selling, more power to them! Means I can get a whole new market for my 20 year old Bradington Young and Hancock and Moore in my house and replace it with fresh pieces. "Its supposed to look that way".
Then again, I never could spend money on those 'worn out' baseball caps that I see in the store where they are all torn and ripped to look aged. If I want a new hat - I want a new hat.
Re: Restoration Hardware Sofas
Save your trade-ins. Call them "authentic" shabby-chic, note the "limited availability" in your Dwell ad, and they'll fly out the door.
Re: Restoration Hardware Sofas
We can tell that you don't pour over the RH catalog lusting for their furniture, Duane! Take a gander at this chair. And, no, that's not a cut-away to show the construction. You're supposed to want it in your living room! Oh, my!
Re: Restoration Hardware Sofas
Apparently not even the Metrosexuals went for that one, its on FINAL SALE at $ 895. I can't believe someone though that would sell.....ugh.
