Having your feet touch the ground when you sit on the sofa... This is such a big comfort point. With being under 5"7' so many sofas are so big with being Sofas that pull out to beds. Thanks as well for showing how the modular ottoman pieces look in practice, they seem to really give that sprawled out on the couch comfort.
This made me so glad that all the hard work of putting this together was worth it and it's lasting well. I am so sorry for your loss. I am a long time fan and remember when you were looking for Tosh. I am sorry for the loss of Mac. I wish you lived in CT, I want to build a closet in my upstairs Cap Cod home. A wall closet that's not made from fiber board. Say hi to your mom, please.
Hi. I read somewhere if you have slippy cushions you can use that bumpy drawer liner under the seat. I also believe that Amazon sells rolls/sheets of the liner. Not sure if it works, but hope this helps. 🙂
Oh gosh so glad you love this sofa, and Steph I am so sorry that you lost your one fur baby, I didn't know you lost her that is so sad. I will look forward to seeing your next video about washing the whole sofa and how it turns out. I am wishing you a blessed weekend coming up, sending love and hugs, bye! 😉🤗👏🙌💜💜💜
Hi I'm so sorry about the loss of your pup. Sadly my 12 year old Greyhound has cancer will not get to enjoy this furniture. Your videos and opinions have convinced me it's the best choice for my other three when we move in our new home in two weeks. Dolly will hopefully get to experience a few days in a full back yard before we say goodbye. I look forward to learning new ideas from you and your mom.
This looks like it held up really well. I honestly thought the cushions would have sagged pretty quickly but it doesn't look like they did! As long as the puppies like it, it stays LOL. Wonder how much she is going to sniff it out once you wash it because the scent changed.
So, comfort absolutely is subjective, but stiffness isn’t. It either is or it isn’t. My neighbor bought quite a few pieces of Home Reserve furniture and it was god awful stiff. Looked and felt like something you’d see/feel in a dentist office waiting room. I understand everyone has different needs for a couch, but if you’re looking for something you can lounge around in and binge watch tv for the weekend, this isn’t it. Having friends over and sitting completely straight up for conversation, this brand may suite your needs. My neighbor kept it for a little over a month before finally getting rid of it.
I have seen lots of complaints about the splintery wood flaking onto things but when I see your storage inside everything looks nice and covered. Is that something you did or did all of those covers come from Homereserve? Thank you for sharing your experience. The longer time frame for your review is helpful.
great videos! thanks for sharing! so sorry for the loss of your doggie - i know how hard it is to lose our pets when they are such important members of our families! in your first video, you mentioned the smell of the wood - did that disappear quickly?
Thank you. Painting of the wood really helped with the smell, but I would say there was a slight smell inside the seat and ottoman for probably 6 months. Nothing overwhelming, very faint.
How's the neck support. I just tried some modular couches at Living Spaces and noticed their backs are very low and it goes to about my shoulders unless I slump. I'm 5'10". My head and neck would get super uncomfortable if I sit upright if the back isn't high enough. Some other couches were very comfortable but weren't modular. I'd love something like this for VR since modular couches seem super light and easy to move out of the way for VR sessions while still looking like a super comfortable couch normally. Awww the dogs were nice to see in the video. Sorry you lost one of them.
We have a playlist of videos putting it together so you can see the process: th-cam.com/play/PL2Otpo8plohtjtXlxjuMJAQRWcgKxA9zb.html Straightforward to put together. I would not try to make an arm rest since they have replacements and everything is modular. But yes, you could easily build one if you have any amount of carpentry skills. They actually send me a replacement arm, you can see in a video in that playlist.
For anyone looking wondering about this, Home Reserve just updated their options to include a deep Seat option. We unfortunately dislike the standard depth option. If you sit up straight with feet on the floor the regular is for you. If you're someone that doesn't sit with your feet on the floor you'll want the deeper option.

Are you happy with your sofa? Would you get a DIY sofa?!

I'm so sorry for your loss of sweet Mac. It's so hard to lose our pets. You gave her a wonderful four years.
Thank you for this very thorough update! So sorry for the loss of your pup ❤
So sorry for your doggie loss🐕❤️😞 Great update on sofa aspects. Fair, documented and honest.🎉😊. Hi to Vicki. Hope to see her in video soon.
Thank you. Mom will be in the next video! She was right behind the camera when I filmed this :)

Sofa looks like it is holding up well. Sorry for the loss of your dog. Thanks for the review.

That's a good idea, thanks!
I was going to suggest the same thing, or non slip rug liner
I'm glad you love your sofa. It's really nice. I'm so sorry you lost your other dog. I know how bad that hurts but I'm glad she had you.
Oh gosh so glad you love this sofa, and Steph I am so sorry that you lost your one fur baby, I didn't know you lost her that is so sad.

Sorry to hear about your grey. Are the other three greyhounds too?
@@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY Yep they are. The next oldest has just turned 12 and I'm ordering my swatches now. Can't wait to get started.
I'm so sorry about your doggie. I recently lost my kitty. It's really hard. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for the update! But also sorry for the loss of your fur baby 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Im so sorry for your loss 😢

She will be sniffing it for sure! 😆
Great video. Sorry for your loss.
1) I’m so sorry for your loss. 2) this is this best review/process I’ve found. Thank you so much for all the documentation!
So, comfort absolutely is subjective, but stiffness isn’t. It either is or it isn’t. My neighbor bought quite a few pieces of Home Reserve furniture and it was god awful stiff. Looked and felt like something you’d see/feel in a dentist office waiting room.

Please show me the side table you made! The one beside where you like to set on the sofa.

We painted the wood to seal it before assembling the sofa. That really helps keep the wood from flaking.

Tosh looks so much like my grey Cody (RIP). The things we do for our animals u bought a sofa, I bought a car

Awww the dogs were nice to see in the video. Sorry you lost one of them.
I find it supportive. But I'm 5'4" so I can't say for sure for you. -Steph
So sorry for your loss. Great 1 year review! How does the fabric hold up to shedding & hair removal? I don't know, do greyhounds shed? Thanks!
Thank you. My first greyhound did shed a lot, but the fabric didn't hold or show the fur.
How was putting this sofa together? Do you thing you can build a new arm rest yourself if your good at carpentry?
We have a playlist of videos putting it together so you can see the process: th-cam.com/play/PL2Otpo8plohtjtXlxjuMJAQRWcgKxA9zb.html
Straightforward to put together. I would not try to make an arm rest since they have replacements and everything is modular. But yes, you could easily build one if you have any amount of carpentry skills. They actually send me a replacement arm, you can see in a video in that playlist.
I love your projects and videos. Are you ready to rescue another dog?? Thanks so much.
Thank you! I'm enjoying my one on one time with Tosh right now, but will probably get a second pup in a year or so.
Beautiful Smile ma'am 👍🏼❤
Did you paint the storage areas?
Yes, to seal them and help with the smell of the wood.
What colors are your sofa swatches?
Archetype Quartz and Archetype Anchor
Did you contact them about the wobbly arm? Curious re customer service.
She should call customer service. Their customer service is the best of the best. I have a sectional for at least 10 years.
What color fabric is this?
Archetype Quartz and Archetype Anchor
Did you get the deep seats, or the regular seats?
Also, I'm sorry you lost your dog. Can't imagine how hard that was for you.
I guess the regular. I don't remember a deep option. Thank you 💜
For anyone looking wondering about this, Home Reserve just updated their options to include a deep Seat option. We unfortunately dislike the standard depth option. If you sit up straight with feet on the floor the regular is for you. If you're someone that doesn't sit with your feet on the floor you'll want the deeper option.
What style is this one? Jovie?
Tux
