Sherrill, Lee, Norwalk, Century & Bernhardt sofa quality

yvondag
4 år sedan

Hi all - I'm looking to replace my 15 yr old Sherrill sofa - I've been happy with them in the past and in fact am recovering two 20 yr old, small Sherrill wing chairs. Some stores have mentioned that Sherrill quality has gone down and I should consider Century or Lee. I've also looked at private labeled sofas made by Norwalk and Bernhardt - I'm sooo confused at this point. It is our main sofa and gets daily use. Do I have to spend $3000 on a new sofa?

Many thanks!!

    A good sofa was 2500.00 twenty YEARS ago. If your Sherill is in good shape, comfy? Recover it via a very good upholsterer.. There was a time when they made very nice quality!! Short of that, I rate Lee as moderate quality at BEST. Better by far is Hickory Chair, Century, Taylor King, even CR Laine. You want 8 way tied springs, and a spring down cushioning, and a nice covering. You won't get that combo in anything for much less than 3500.00 and up.

    I would ask this: I understand what you want to spend. You can buy junk for a single grand. But you will put it on the curb in less than a year, in most cases. You will spend as many hours on this sofa as you spend in your car? How much was that, and how long do you keep cars : ) You kept the Sherill sofa for fifteen years, so even 5k spent on a good sofa........is 333.00 per year for comfort/quality/looks. JUNK? That would be Bernhardt. Pure Junk. Their expertise is fun/moderately priced case pieces. Not upholstery.

      Three thousand on a new sofa is less than what you'd pay at Pottery Barn or Room & Board, so, yes. You'd have to spend AT LEAST $3000 for a quality sofa, probably more like $5000 to $7000+ if you're picking your own fabric and you want it to last more than 5 years.


      Century is going to be very expensive. Lee is good quality, but still reasonably priced.

      We ordered our Taylor King sectional through Lexington Furniture in Kentucky. We used a lower priced fabric and it’s a simple two piece. Two seats and a corner in one piece- two seats on the other. We paid about $4k for it, which I thought was more than fair. We’ve only had it for a year and a half, so can’t speak to longevity. But so far, no complaints.

      Thank you all so very much! Great input and I guess I've reached the age where its sticker shock all around:) I'm not sure if the particular area of the country comes into play with regard to prices or not - I live in the Atlanta area and we generally have very good small design stores with reasonable prices. Its just been a while:) I really appreciate the input on the particular manufacturers! I'm going to look for a design shop that carries Taylor King and Century I think.

      If you like the frame style of your current Sherill sofa, I would have it reupholstered. I agree with others on brand recommendations.

      Re define "reasonable" or recover yours. Few things are the quality of 15 years ago. Sad and true

      I sell a lot of Lee and highly recommend, and I agree with everyone else here, if you want to purchase a sofa that will last, you'll be close to $3,000
