Rachel Classic 87" Wide Natural Slipcover Sofa

Web site indicated this product was in stock, so I ordered expecting delivery quickly. The updates supplied, two of them told me nothing so I called after a week only to find the product was NOT in stock and the expected return in stock was a month away. I was promised that I would be kept informed and given a $60 credit for the inconvenience.

The product returned in stock earlier than I expected but I was NOT given any kind of update. I only found out about the return to stock after checking their site periodically.

Now to review of the sofa. The fabric is a heavy twill canvas style fabric, tightly woven and appears to be a fabric that will wear well. The color is a creamy yellowish, off white, NOT a natural with grayish tones. The sofa came well wrapped and protected with the legs unassembled from the sofa. It was not much trouble to attach the legs, but we did have a hard time finding them in the packaging which came with no instructions. The legs were packaged underneath the bottom of the sofa in a zippered compartment. They are plastic but do not show under the skirt.

I expected to get a sofa that was a bit more soft to sit on based on sofas available locally made in a similar manner using a feathered exterior covering. I actually took one of the cushions apart because I was not sure the cushions actually had a covering using the feathers based on how hard the sofa was. This sofa sits on the stiff side.

The seat height is on the high side. I am 5' 8" tall with long legs, 33" and when I sit on the sofa all the way back against the cushion my legs barely come to the floor. The seat depth is extra long from front to back at 24". To be comfortable I feel I have to have one of the pillows behind my back. I plan on making more pillows to sit fully along across the back of the sofa.

This sofa is not a delicate looking sofa in person. It appears to be on the chunky side. The seat pillow height is a full 6 5/8" tall.

It is an OK sofa, well made, not as comfortable as I was expecting from previous reviews. I am hopeful that after sitting on the sofa the cushions will soften a bit.

I have mixed emotions about the sofa. I would recommend the sofa with the observations stated above. I would not recommend this sofa to short people or people with short legs or someone who is expecting a soft cushy sofa.

It probably is best for someone who needs a rather stiff sofa, someone with a bad back for example.

The picture of the sofa on the web site is accurate.

The quality seems to be good, better than a lot of sofas I have seen lately.

Pros: Twill Cream Off White, Stiff Seat, Seat High Off Floor, Heavy Fabric, Seat Depth Too Long

Cons: Seat Height 20 12", Seat Depth 24"

This couch was much more than I expected for the price. Durable, comfortable and comparable to what a few notable "high-end" stores offer at triple the cost. If you are going for the traditional/transitional slipcovered look, then this couch is for you. Don't waste your money elsewhere. Yes, it is a "lamp store," but don't underestimate their furniture offerings. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Pros: Comfortable, Attractive

The only thing we weren't happy with were the plastic feet. Went on-line and googled sofa feet and found some nice wood ones 1 inch longer & they look much better. We like our furniture higher than what you find these days. After adding the new feet it's perfect in every way!

Pros: Attractive, Ergonomic, Comfortable

The sofa was delivered within a month of order date, but I'm still waiting on the loveseat. It has been 3 months since it was ordered. Lamps Plus has kept in touch via e-mail, but I'm very dissatisfied about this.

Pros: Thick Cotton Twill Fabric, Good quality, Solid Contruction, Attractive, Comfortable, Natural Coloroff White

Cons: Plastic Legs Break Easily, Ugly But Don't Show, Disappointed W Sofa Legs

Best Uses: Family Rooms, Medium Rooms, Casual Rooms

Our delivery was right on time from the date of delivery to the time specified when the delivery service said they would be at my house. The item comes packaged beautifully so there was no concern with the condition of the item and the guy who delivered it made sure we could fit it in the front door before he left. I don't mind that we chose not to pay for them to bring it all the way into the house because it was dusty from the truck and we could move the pieces around until we found a seating arrangement we liked. Still, the whole experience exceeded my expectations!

Pros: Attractive, Comfortable

Best Uses: Large Rooms, Medium Rooms

This sofa has quality construction. The cushions have a feather fill and really hold their shape well.

Pros: Attractive, Comfortable

Best Uses: Medium Rooms, Large Rooms

Very nice.

Pros: Attractive

I am so disappointed in this purchase. Right from the start I noticed that the slightest amount of ANYTHING stuck to the fabric. I ScotchGuarded it and assumed...like most furniture fabric...there would be some wipeability to it. NOPE. Wouldn't wipe up, brush off, etc. Just made it dirty and even stained it. It looked awful by week 1. I decided to return it. I was so disappointed. But, they talked me into receiving a discount instead and I accepted. Big mistake. I used the partial refund to have custom slip covers made in a fabric that would clean better and not attract dirt. One year later the cushions are flattened and misshapen and I hate looking at this couch. No quality here at all. Don't do it.

From viewing the sofa online, to reading the reviews, to chatting with customer service to answer a question the process has been PERFECT!!
It came so well packed that there was not one issue with the item
I am just amazed at the luxury, quality and craftsman ship that is in this sofa.
This is not my first purchase from Lamps Plus and it will NOT be my last

Seat Cushions flatten over time and feels like I'm sitting on the frame.. Not built to last.. Will have to re stuff cushions.. Not sure if down filled seats flattens easily. I will re stuff w poly fill

Pros: Attractive
