I LOVE being able to change up the configuration! And having washable covers means my couch is going to look a lot better longer. And save money on the upholstery cleaning. Being able to add pieces and change covers really makes this versatile, AND cost effective in the long run.
thank you for taking the time to make this! We just moved to CA from South Africa and we are starting from scratch. I am unpacked and ready to start assembly. This was really helpful. I really love the concept, can't be beat.
I have been following Lovesac for many years because I was first interested in their bean-bag-bedding. I love the idea of the Sactional and have an oddly-configured room that no SECTIONALS (to date) have worked with. THANK YOU for taking the time to put this together. I am disappointed to hear that their customer service isn't TOP NOTCH --- but will keep watching your progress to see how you are liking the system in the future.
Thanks for commenting. I received multiple people following up making sure we got the clip, with many apologies. A year later, we still really love the sactional.
thanks this video just made my lovesac experience even better , I love my love sac. I have friends coming over and it was easy enough to rearrange to accommodate everyone
Wow I was excited to show my husband this set and we decided not to but over the shoddy customer service! After the price and all that labor to put it together and they make you drive to the store to replace a broken piece that alone changed my mind about buying this system.
Excellent review! I like how you covered the entire process from start to finish. I can't wait for our sactional to arrive. 4-6 week wait will be worth it! On a side note; Lovesac now has the magnetic blocks available for purchase ($27). If you choose the down cushions they will include them for free.
Hi! I just received my Sactional today and I am super excited. This is the first time I purchased a brand new couch and let me share that I graduated from high school in 1992 lol. Anywho, yes, the sactional is very expensive. However, I was able to get mine for a little more than have the cost with there Black Friday sales that lasted beyond Black Friday. I was looking for something that was not too fancy looking. So anyway, I think it is worth the money. They covers are washable, the pieces are interchangeable, and its nice sized furniture. As far as putting it together I need the exercise and this video will help. It would have been nice to get free assembly. So I think depending on where you are at in life and what your needs and wants are you will either say "Yes!" or "Hell No!" lol I said yes because I want and deserve it! Happy Sactional!!
Fascinating. Many people underestimate the value of modular sofas and the incredible floor designs that can be made with them. I have a Bellini sofa from Manhattan Home Design and one of the things I like the most is that I can make it as long as I want by adding more modules. Modular sofas are often very comfortable too, and they have a remarkable advantage: if a module is damaged, it can be easier to replace it than to repair it, in some cases. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Just built my 4 base 5 side sactional by myself and it took longer than expected! A couple IPA's during set up are a must! I found putting in the clamps by myself were much harder than it looked in the videos! I still have 3 clamps left over because putting the bases together with the clamps is touch! I think I'll wait for my husband to do that part! Thanks!
This might be worth it for someone like me that moves frequently. I live in small spaces and probably won't buy more than 3 seats. I also got a coupon in the mail for a free seat and side...I like how I can re configure these depending on my apartment layout. Yes they should give away the magnetic pieces. Im impressed that you made your own 😮
Very well put together, professional looking video. Absolutely love the concept, but having a hard time justifying spending that much when I could get about 5-10 couches for the same price.
When I first saw the love sac sectional advertised, I told myself I had to have it when I got my new home. I am SO GLAD I found yr video. With that price and the way cust. svces treated you, I've officially changed my mind about the furniture. You're a better person than me; I'd never be able to put it together! You be well and thanx for posting!
Seems like they've come a long way. Just got mine. We actually ended up with four extra clamps the way the package things now. No loose threads at all.
We're getting one for our houseboat in Lake Powell. I'm not in charge of anything. The boys are. But I loved your video and when I have time I will take a look at the couch and now have a clue what to look out for, etc. Thank you...
They should have made it less expensive than couches with tight upholstery and wood. Basically its a bunch of foam squares with hook ons and washable removable fabric. That, my friends, should be much much more affordable. Pretty sad that such a great idea has to be so greedy.
I got my son a love sac big one when he was 16 his family just moved into their first home, he came and picked up his sac this week. He had the corduroy cover cleaned and aired his sac for two days , as good as new. Now I found this I have to show him, I sure he'll buy this . Xox
Excellent information. Clear, concise and biased. We just purchased our first sactional and your video will help us immensely once it arrives. I cannot wait! I've been wanting this for a long time!
LeAnn we’ve had ours for over a year now and I will never own another sofa. I still LOVE them like the day they arrived! I have moved them around numerous times to accommodate our needs, like if we have a party, friends stay the night, or as movie loungers. They fluff right up and do not show any wear at all and we use them constantly, especially now with the pandemic and we are all home all the time. One of my favorite investments ever! Even if we ever move (doubt we ever will), but they will be the easiest thing to pack up to move. LOVE THEM! P.S. We got ours during a roadshow at Costco.
LeAnn hope you come to love yours as much as we do! By the way, I also bought those little model magnet versions and they help out immensely! I use them every time we move things around. Highly recommend them.
Rad Video! Keep in mind that for the deep configurations they do sell a side that will make it work. It's is called a deep side. I got to say, I have a 10 and 12 and it is well worth the money!!!
Parents of three boys and were worried about the bottom couch pedal holder breaking with them flopping on the couch. Is that piece that holds it together that strong? Love the option of washing covers and replacing them.
For that kind of money I think the bolts the legs screw onto should be perpendicular, and making you drive an hour to the store to get a replacement for what broke is unforgivable in my view. Thank you for what seems like a very good and honest review.
Thanks so much for this video, I'm going to be purchasing my set on Black Friday as well. I'm getting it with the surround system and phone charger. Question when you are putting them together is it better to have two people or can you put it together with just one person. I'm building a home so when I get mine I will have to put them in storage for about six to seven months due to the house not being completed until end or May early June. I will do a video on my channel once its done.
Hi Ben, I just discovered the Lovesac products and was wondering how you are feeling about them after living with them for the last 18 months? How are they holding up? Would you buy them again?
Thanks for the great video! I have been searching for weeks for the "perfect modular couch" when someone told be about the sactional. I am struggling between a cheap couch that will need replaced in a few years or an expensive one like this. What other brands did you look at before purchasing Lovesac? Would you say that Lovesac lives up to the warranty they boast about on their website? Also, have you washed the covers? Do they come out looking good as new?
I was wondering if these can be configured in a bed setup. I am wanting movie theater seating but that can also be used as a bed when needed. Went and sat on these and my god are they comfortable. By far some of the most comfortable seats I’ve ever sat on. Not really excited about the little issues you stated in the video but the positives out way the negatives for me at least.
Way late to this video, but I've been mulling over one of these couches for two years. Thanks for the great review- do you have any follow up thoughts now that the couch is several years old?
Hey man, I enjoy your videos, but was curious how the sectional isdoing for you. Now that it has been over 2 years? Are these products that you would recommend for someone to purchase for their own home? Also, how are they holding up with the animals? Thanks man
Thanks **New Subscriber ** question is there an option for set-up? I have Lupus so all of that moving this around is too much for me. How much would you charge to create a mini-set of the LoveSac?
Hey! It’s July of 2018, how are these holding up now? My wife and are considering these and just learned our West Elm couches have a recall so we may make the switch.
Before I'd even think on buying this, I'd need to know how comfortable it is to sit for long periods of time; (movie binge,ext) I need like a cloud to sit on. (Due to many neck surgery's & spine props) out for comfort) Watching them cover the pillow itself, looked like it would be a feather/??? type, If you have owned one for about 3-6 months you'd know the comfortably of the set by now, & if you could give me a shout back on that I would truly appreciate it. Thanks in advance...
Costco had a demo of these for a better price. We are considering them for a beach rental house so we could replace just one section or cover if they are ever damaged. We need seating for 12 people so we would need two of the 4x5's to have enough seats for everyone. Price would range from $4800-$5200 for all of it. Not bad considering a PB couch is $5k just for one and I would need 2. This video was made in 2014. In 6 years it seems like this company has evolved and provides a better quality and better price now. Interested to see how it is holding up after 6 years.
It's still doing well! Little flat or soft in cushions and pillows, but we've expanded and added more pieces. We still like it and many of our friends have bought one as well
This is the craziest thing I’ve seen for the massive amount of $, I noticed bought many years ago, happy with my pleather couches from Raymour & Flanigan that look expensive & feel great
So... How's the wear and tear now? I find I always wear out one side of a sofa, so being able to move the bases or seat cushions around will allow me to have even usage. Great tip on Black Friday!!! I'm going to start saving $$ and hope I'll have enough saved + discount to buy a love seat with chaise!
Sales guy hit me up at costco for this product. Said it was $4900 but on sale today for $3200. I liked his presentation but in the end, I divided the lower cost by 2 and figured that in order to consider this as an option , I would need to see if no other couches met my expectations at $1600 a piece. I mean , we aren't even talking leather couches, just microfiber or whatever. So i passed on it and will continue to look around for something i like.
Thanks! We still love it, actually just rearranged yesterday. (It never gets old creating new setups :) Often used cushions and pillows are a little "saggy" which stinks, they need re-fluffing or need to get "fluff added", not sure what we'll do, maybe call and check pricing?
love mine i refilled my back cushions with store-bought fill and they hold up much better iv had mine for about 4 years love getting new covers every once and a while
I wanted to know about the comfort level. Also I love the color you choose just exact colors I would have children also good luck with it it’s beautiful
Tips: Bases don't have to be clamped together, that's what the wooden shoes are for :) Start with your sides, and wood shoes, then the bases, and then cushions. Blocks are sold for just 25 dollars. You didn't have to make them, but very innovative of you.
TheYazmanian thats very cheap on lovesac. pay 5000 for a couch. oh you want a block set. 25 dollars please. I have a supersac and multiple cover sets. i admired the couch at first but it is plywood construction that is made in China.
Adam Anderson Though, plywood isn't necessarily cheap (it comes in different grades and species) and its use doesn't imply cheap construction (the same can be said about products made in China). Remember, plywood is still wood. Even though it's not as strong as solid wood, it's better suited for furniture like a couches because it doesn't warp, shrink, or crack due to changes in climate like humidity. It's sturdy, predictable, and easier to build with than solid wood. I don't think you would want to build an entire house out of it, but it's well loved by furniture makers and many designers, an definitely not an indication of quality. Those crappy legs, loose threads, and crappy customer sevice though, turn me off from ever buying one of these.
With a comment like that..what's the rip off? He's had them close to 2 years and loves them still.. I DO think they are a bit overpriced but versatility is gonna cost... as and..customer service sucks and the company is not willing to fix their own product flaws sent to the customer..so I'll stick with not buying. too much effort if I have to put it together..they should pay me labour
Hey Ben. Just wondering if you purchased the standard filling? I want a firm mattress-like feel, and your couch looks a lot firmer than most ... which is cool. A few other questions I had would be ... -- Was the problem that you had with the feet due to the feet themselves, or was it with the hole that was drilled into the base unit? One of the feet you showed looked all rough and splintered as well. -- How heavy would you say the base unit is, without the cushion and pillow in it? -- And finally, did you complain about the foot issue, or the thread issues on the cushions, and if so, what did they say? That's a lot of money for quality issues. Thanks for your help, and for the Black Friday tip.
Hey man, thanks for watching. I believe we went with standard. When brand new, it feels very firm which was awesome. Has definitely softened down a bit over the years. The feet issue, I'm not sure which was the cause, but turned out not to be a major issue at all. The approx weight of a base is around 30 lbs. Lastly, I never complained to corporate about those issues, so thus no response. (And no, I haven't had anyone from corporate try to fix those problems for me even after they saw this video.) Hope it helps you out!
It's guaranteed for life. If something breaks...I think you send it to them and they send you a brand new something. I've only dealt with the Sac so far and it didn't have enough foam for us, so they just sent us a giant box of foam...free.
URGENT ANSWER appreciated! :) What was the Black Friday sale? Trying to decide if I get one within the next few days with their Labor Day Sale (up to 30% off AND 0% financing for 48 months) or wait for Black Friday?!
+Joey Robeson - Yes, we still love it! Always talking it up with new friends. Still very durable and no issues or problems have risen. We've learned it's important/helps a lot to rotate the cushions and pillows around every couple months, and makes it feel like a brand new couch. (No major spills or anything yet, but touch-up cleaning is a cinch and we use the hand-vac to keep it looking sharp.)
Do you have an update on how this has held up? The are doing the Costco roadshow now and I love the idea but have read some questionable reviews about the quality (loose threads, pillows and cushions flatten out quickly) and the customer service.
Home reserve is a good affordable alternative to this EXTREMELY overpriced brand with a 10yr warranty. Made in the USA. I'm about to pull the trigger on a custom sectional from them myself.
Its way overpriced for the cheap construction. The simplest task was drilling the leg fasteners square which they failed miserably. It's a nice idea .but ergonomically it looks like another failure.drop the price in halve then we might have a deal.
Sactional owner here, 2012 purchase. Looking at maybe freshening my couch covers up and maybe new filling. Did you "try out" any of the other fills besides Standard Foam/ I'm thinking about down or 'lovesoft' but unfortunately am not near to a store to try it out...
vect0rx I know this isn't my channel, but I figured I would give you some insight on your question. We bought a sactional about a month ago, and we thought the "lovesoft" would be the nicest and most comfortable, and almost submitted our order online. I decided to run to the store just to see for myself if this was true, and I've got to say, I almost feel like the standard is about the same as the lovesoft as far as comfort goes. The middle grade grade filling is like a down alternative filling, and it's quite stiff (in case you were considering that one as well). We ultimately decided to go with the standard because it just wasn't worth it to get lovesoft whenever standard felt virtually the same. The lovesoft does have a longer warranty, though. Hope that helps!
Heidi you were right. I'm typing this with one organic natural hand and my other hand is now a prosthetic. Same situation with one of my legs. And I'm pretty sure this couch will be the end of me. I wish you had told me this before I upgraded in June. What can I do now?! Will you tell my cautionary tale when I'm gone? :(
Leah, thanks.. My default foam was pretty good for several years there. I got the down. It's comfortable but also I have to pick feathers out sometimes and I have to re-fluff the back pillows now so it's a mixed thing. Unfortunately I didn't have a local store but I will say the down is more comfortable than the failing cushions I had to replace
I love when humans learn something and then share that learning with the rest of the species. Thank you.
Thank you for posting this, you've talked me right out of getting it. Lol so seriously, thanks saved me some money.
I LOVE being able to change up the configuration! And having washable covers means my couch is going to look a lot better longer. And save money on the upholstery cleaning. Being able to add pieces and change covers really makes this versatile, AND cost effective in the long run.
I totally agree!
Well, I have Dogs, and I really like the fact that I can throw the covers in the Washer if they have an 'accident'.
?what about brats jumping all over the place, dumping food and drinks on the sensitive parts hope you have lots of patience and cash 💸
thank you for taking the time to make this! We just moved to CA from South Africa and we are starting from scratch. I am unpacked and ready to start assembly. This was really helpful. I really love the concept, can't be beat.
I have been following Lovesac for many years because I was first interested in their bean-bag-bedding. I love the idea of the Sactional and have an oddly-configured room that no SECTIONALS (to date) have worked with. THANK YOU for taking the time to put this together. I am disappointed to hear that their customer service isn't TOP NOTCH --- but will keep watching your progress to see how you are liking the system in the future.
Thanks for commenting. I received multiple people following up making sure we got the clip, with many apologies. A year later, we still really love the sactional.
thanks this video just made my lovesac experience even better , I love my love sac. I have friends coming over and it was easy enough to rearrange to accommodate everyone
Wow I was excited to show my husband this set and we decided not to but over the shoddy customer service! After the price and all that labor to put it together and they make you drive to the store to replace a broken piece that alone changed my mind about buying this system.
Finally someone does some critical thinking 🤔
Excellent review! I like how you covered the entire process from start to finish. I can't wait for our sactional to arrive. 4-6 week wait will be worth it! On a side note; Lovesac now has the magnetic blocks available for purchase ($27). If you choose the down cushions they will include them for free.
+kirk smith - Sweet, thanks for the update.
kirk smith do you know if these are still available? We can’t seem to find them?
Took a quick look for your follow-up video, but didn't find it.
Are you still generally happy with it?
I am in the research stage of purchasing one of these. This was very helpful and to the point! Thank you!!

Yes, those clamps are super tight in the early days! ;) They seem to slide in easier with time
Thanks for your review. You pointed out minor flaws and drawbacks in this product that were helpful in making a purchase decision .
This might be worth it for someone like me that moves frequently. I live in small spaces and probably won't buy more than 3 seats. I also got a coupon in the mail for a free seat and side...I like how I can re configure these depending on my apartment layout. Yes they should give away the magnetic pieces.

Very well put together, professional looking video. Absolutely love the concept, but having a hard time justifying spending that much when I could get about 5-10 couches for the same price.
Where will you put 5-10 couches? You must have a large home.
Shut up
@@leanneyoung2523 5-10 couches over time. Throw one out and replace 5 times for that price.
You saved me a whole lot of money on buying from Lovesac, thanks!
When I first saw the love sac sectional advertised, I told myself I had to have it when I got my new home. I am SO GLAD I found yr video.

Man, I am 24 years old and getting ready to move out of the parents house. I really needed this video.😂😂
Seems like they've come a long way. Just got mine. We actually ended up with four extra clamps the way the package things now. No loose threads at all.
Thank you ! This was helpful. I received my sactionals yesterday. Today i will be putting everything together......I hope all pieces are intact!
Glad it helped. Hope you love your sactionals, we sure do!
How is your sactional doing now after 7 years or so? Washing, changing of configurations, and pets durability?
Props to you guys. You guys are hella patient. I would have returned the sofa and get a refund the same day lol
It wasn't too bad! Very much worth it now ;)
Seeing how simplistic the design is, I kinda want to make my own.
Exactly what I was thinking.
We're getting one for our houseboat in Lake Powell. I'm not in charge of anything. The boys are. But I loved your video and when I have time I will take a look at the couch and now have a clue what to look out for, etc. Thank you...
I love rearranging furniture this is my dream couch
Got mine yesterday, I love it and all the pieces. 28 boxes.
The FedEx guy that brought mine wasn’t happy having to bring 20 boxes to the door 😁. Great video
Wow! I love this video. Great job...can't wait to get my Sational👍👍❤❤
They should have made it less expensive than couches with tight upholstery and wood. Basically its a bunch of foam squares with hook ons and washable removable fabric. That, my friends, should be much much more affordable. Pretty sad that such a great idea has to be so greedy.
I think a cheaper knock off version will be available soon
Have you considered shipping costs.... its included
The cheaper version can be found at Costco for $2500
Very good review, will help me decide if good fit for the family
I got my son a love sac big one when he was 16 his family just moved into their first home, he came and picked up his sac this week. He had the corduroy cover cleaned and aired his sac for two days , as good as new. Now I found this I have to show him, I sure he'll buy this . Xox

Eve Barbanell will def keep this in mind! Thanks for all of your advice!
Thank you this will help me a lot!!
Do you still like it or am I gonna have buyers remorse
How is the couch holding up after all these years? We are looking into investing in one.
Oh and great video by the way! Much better than the link they showed that was on they're website for sure!
Rad Video! Keep in mind that for the deep configurations they do sell a side that will make it work. It's is called a deep side.

May I ask the color and fabric of your couch? Do you like it?
For a 5k couch everything better be manufactured correctly. Thanks for saving me 5k I was seriously considering this.

I have this, super comfortable. In fact I sleep on it more than I do my bed
You're right, very comfortable even to sleep on! ;) We use it all the time for a 'guest bed'
Thanks, I was wondering if I should get this or a bed
I was wondering if these can be configured in a bed setup. I am wanting movie theater seating but that can also be used as a bed when needed. Went and sat on these and my god are they comfortable. By far some of the most comfortable seats I’ve ever sat on. Not really excited about the little issues you stated in the video but the positives out way the negatives for me at least.

This is the craziest thing I’ve seen for the massive amount of $, I noticed bought many years ago, happy with my pleather couches from Raymour & Flanigan that look expensive & feel great
Its nice ! I know how to make my own couches same as lovesac. Good idea ! Thanks for sharing it
So... How's the wear and tear now? I find I always wear out one side of a sofa, so being able to move the bases or seat cushions around will allow me to have even usage.
Great tip on Black Friday!!! I'm going to start saving $$ and hope I'll have enough saved + discount to buy a love seat with chaise!
Sales guy hit me up at costco for this product. Said it was $4900 but on sale today for $3200. I liked his presentation but in the end, I divided the lower cost by 2 and figured that in order to consider this as an option , I would need to see if no other couches met my expectations at $1600 a piece. I mean , we aren't even talking leather couches, just microfiber or whatever. So i passed on it and will continue to look around for something i like.
Curious. After 3 years, how do you guys like it? My wife and I are currently contemplating.
Great video by the way...Subscribed!
Thanks! We still love it, actually just rearranged yesterday. (It never gets old creating new setups :) Often used cushions and pillows are a little "saggy" which stinks, they need re-fluffing or need to get "fluff added", not sure what we'll do, maybe call and check pricing?
Keith Vlk Don't be a fool! 😏
so you're not a fan?? Tell me the story, curious to hear real customer testimonials.
love mine i refilled my back cushions with store-bought fill and they hold up much better iv had mine for about 4 years love getting new covers every once and a while
This helped so much thank you. I definitely won't spend 9k for a leather one that I've got to build myself....and shit customer service to boot!!!!
VERY Good informative video thx u friend
so how long did it take and what the difference between these and sectionals?
Just paid like half that for a power reclining sectional with massage and heating. And Raymore & Flannigan delivered it white glove.
I wanted to know about the comfort level. Also I love the color you choose just exact colors I would have children also good luck with it it’s beautiful
What a steal!! Only about a grand a seat and you get to put it all together by yourself??? lol
Lan Nguyen hahaha
hahaha! whaaat a deal?™!
Lan Nguyen NOT!!! 😲
Tips: Bases don't have to be clamped together, that's what the wooden shoes are for :) Start with your sides, and wood shoes, then the bases, and then cushions. Blocks are sold for just 25 dollars. You didn't have to make them, but very innovative of you.
+TheYazmanian - thanks for the tips. Way back when we made the video, those blocks weren't available for sale
TheYazmanian thats very cheap on lovesac. pay 5000 for a couch. oh you want a block set. 25 dollars please. I have a supersac and multiple cover sets. i admired the couch at first but it is plywood construction that is made in China.
Adam Anderson Though, plywood isn't necessarily cheap (it comes in different grades and species) and its use doesn't imply cheap construction (the same can be said about products made in China). Remember, plywood is still wood. Even though it's not as strong as solid wood, it's better suited for furniture like a couches because it doesn't warp, shrink, or crack due to changes in climate like humidity. It's sturdy, predictable, and easier to build with than solid wood. I don't think you would want to build an entire house out of it, but it's well loved by furniture makers and many designers, an definitely not an indication of quality.
Those crappy legs, loose threads, and crappy customer sevice though, turn me off from ever buying one of these.
Adam Anderson id take plywood over mdf or press board any day!
Arguably, for $4k-$5k they could just include some of those blocks as a courtesy...
Can USPS deliver these kinda items just order one of these sectional from Amazon ?
Thank you for the honest review. I won't purchase.
I really want one. But that is too much work for the price. Thank
What stuffing did you have for these? Standard foam, down, or synthetic down?
I'm not sure, whatever was default, so probably standard..?
The default, most affordable is the standard, Durafoam insert:)

hi , can you tell me after almost 2 years owning this product do you still enjoy your LOVESAC?
Great video
...and to be fair, I've only seen one but on the side of here, I see they have others made by the company so I will check those out as well.
This video made me realize how much of a rip-off LoveSac really is and overpriced.
With a comment like that..what's the rip off? He's had them close to 2 years and loves them still.. I DO think they are a bit overpriced but versatility is gonna cost... as and..customer service sucks and the company is not willing to fix their own product flaws sent to the customer..so I'll stick with not buying. too much effort if I have to put it together..they should pay me labour
Almost every high end furniture company is now making custom configuration sofas, for a lot less. Pottery Barn, Restoration, just to name a couple.
Thank you 😊 for this video you encouraged me to follow more Into ordering me a Sactional👌🏾
Sweet, thanks! (We just rearranged again a couple nights ago, and it feels like a brand new couch - we still love it a ton!)
@@AuthenTech just bought mine and will rewatch this a few times before delivery! Thank you!
Hey Ben. Just wondering if you purchased the standard filling? I want a firm mattress-like feel, and your couch looks a lot firmer than most ... which is cool. A few other questions I had would be ...
-- Was the problem that you had with the feet due to the feet themselves, or was it with the hole that was drilled into the base unit? One of the feet you showed looked all rough and splintered as well.
-- How heavy would you say the base unit is, without the cushion and pillow in it?
-- And finally, did you complain about the foot issue, or the thread issues on the cushions, and if so, what did they say? That's a lot of money for quality issues.
Thanks for your help, and for the Black Friday tip.
Hey man, thanks for watching.
I believe we went with standard. When brand new, it feels very firm which was awesome. Has definitely softened down a bit over the years. The feet issue, I'm not sure which was the cause, but turned out not to be a major issue at all. The approx weight of a base is around 30 lbs. Lastly, I never complained to corporate about those issues, so thus no response. (And no, I haven't had anyone from corporate try to fix those problems for me even after they saw this video.)
Hope it helps you out!
It does help. Thanks for taking the time, Ben.
Any idea what color and material those covers are?
Any updates on this couch? I have 2 dogs that I’m needing to know the durability and how easy it is to clean. Is it worth the money? Comfortability?,
We still really like it. Washing covers is awesome, fair amount of work though
it's 2020, is there an update? i can't find one
Thanks for making the review but I was looking for more of an opinion on how the couch feels and day to day use for a $5,000 couch.
Nice. I'm curious to know how it holds up under stress before I shell out that kinda money for this household tho. :-)
I'd agree. After a few months I'll be posting a follow-up review video
With that kind of cost, you'd expect flawless instructions and better customer service.
It's guaranteed for life. If something breaks...I think you send it to them and they send you a brand new something. I've only dealt with the Sac so far and it didn't have enough foam for us, so they just sent us a giant box of foam...free.
AuthenTech - Ben Schmanke I haven't found your follow up video. Will you please reply with the link?
@@AuthenTech How's she holding up in 2019? Any qualms with comfort or durability? Thanks!!
What did you do about the feet? Did you use them anyway or did they send you new ones?
Turned out they weren't a major issue, and have still worked fine to this day
Thanks for the video. I now know that it’s not worth the cost or headache!
URGENT ANSWER appreciated! :) What was the Black Friday sale? Trying to decide if I get one within the next few days with their Labor Day Sale (up to 30% off AND 0% financing for 48 months) or wait for Black Friday?!
I need help . Can't dissemble nolany couch. I'm returning it it too small now I can get the backs off.
Can I purchase the clamps
Any updates? Is it easy to clean? Still durable? Still in love ?
+Joey Robeson - Yes, we still love it! Always talking it up with new friends. Still very durable and no issues or problems have risen. We've learned it's important/helps a lot to rotate the cushions and pillows around every couple months, and makes it feel like a brand new couch. (No major spills or anything yet, but touch-up cleaning is a cinch and we use the hand-vac to keep it looking sharp.)
I don’t think I’m getting these now, seems like too much for me. I figured assembly would be included
Whatever they charge for installation is worth it. 1 section and 45 minutes down. Only 9 more to go!
Do you have an update on how this has held up? The are doing the Costco roadshow now and I love the idea but have read some questionable reviews about the quality (loose threads, pillows and cushions flatten out quickly) and the customer service.
Yes, my pillows are a bit more flat than in the beginning.
and extremely overpriced
Panthers1521 I agree it seems hugely priced but they have 4 product patents on this product so you wont see a cheaper one for a while:)
Home reserve is a good affordable alternative to this EXTREMELY overpriced brand with a 10yr warranty. Made in the USA. I'm about to pull the trigger on a custom sectional from them myself.
genesishep SOOO GLAD I read your comment! Looking at Home Reserves website now and I’m loving the prices!
Its way overpriced for the cheap construction. The simplest task was drilling the leg fasteners square which they failed miserably. It's a nice idea .but ergonomically it looks like another failure.drop the price in halve then we might have a deal.
Trash
I can't find the link to the video he talks at the very end. About the way of configuration of the couch
Hello! I have love sac and wanted to have a wider seating! But I noticed the sections don't go together as far as the back pannels:( help me?
Sactional owner here, 2012 purchase. Looking at maybe freshening my couch covers up and maybe new filling. Did you "try out" any of the other fills besides Standard Foam/ I'm thinking about down or 'lovesoft' but unfortunately am not near to a store to try it out...
vect0rx I know this isn't my channel, but I figured I would give you some insight on your question. We bought a sactional about a month ago, and we thought the "lovesoft" would be the nicest and most comfortable, and almost submitted our order online. I decided to run to the store just to see for myself if this was true, and I've got to say, I almost feel like the standard is about the same as the lovesoft as far as comfort goes. The middle grade grade filling is like a down alternative filling, and it's quite stiff (in case you were considering that one as well). We ultimately decided to go with the standard because it just wasn't worth it to get lovesoft whenever standard felt virtually the same. The lovesoft does have a longer warranty, though. Hope that helps!
vect0rx That'll cost you an arm and a leg, and probably in the end... Your LIFE!! Fools will be fools😏
Heidi you were right. I'm typing this with one organic natural hand and my other hand is now a prosthetic. Same situation with one of my legs. And I'm pretty sure this couch will be the end of me.
I wish you had told me this before I upgraded in June. What can I do now?!
Will you tell my cautionary tale when I'm gone? :(
Leah, thanks.. My default foam was pretty good for several years there. I got the down. It's comfortable but also I have to pick feathers out sometimes and I have to re-fluff the back pillows now so it's a mixed thing.
Unfortunately I didn't have a local store but I will say the down is more comfortable than the failing cushions I had to replace
