BenchMade Modern Skinny Fat Sofa vs IKEA Finnala

I wanted to create furniture that was customizable for the masses, but I felt like I had to build my own factory to do that from day one. The term Ben...

I have 2 dogs and kids who are still young, but not toddler stage. I want something that I can clean easily, which probably means having the ability to remove the covers and machine wash them. Ikea Finnala sectional ($1,250): https://www.ikea

We bought the Tyler sofa one year ago. It looks great, but we're not happy with it since it's simply not comfortable: Both of us (175 lb and 140 lb) can't sit on the sofa for extended periods of time without feeling uncomfortable. This has two reasons: 1. The sitting depth is too short so you feel as if you are sitting on the edge of your seat

Purchased the Finnala sofa and after 24 hours the back cushions have yet expand. I called Ikea and they said I need to wait the full 72 hours before they can act. Considering they have not changed in the last 24 hours I seriously doubt anything is going to happen in the next 48 hours…. The associate said the only thing they can do is replace the the cushions and that unfortunately there are no non-vacuole sealed options

Lisa B from Benchmade was also instrumental in helping me out. I originally wanted to get a 100 inch sofa, but she suggested I take measurements at my condo to ensure it would fit through the hallways. Turns out it would not have made it past the hallways! I ended up getting a sectional with bumper and it was the perfect compliment to the rest of the living room. She also made suggestions on size and proportions of the couch, and it turned out great

Needless to say we are looking for a replacement. Right now I am looking at both the Finnala and the Kivik as I like those styles the most.
