I bought this couch today….
I have been looking for a new couch for months and had my eye on this one for the past month. And when the floor sample went on sale for almost 50% off retail to make room for a new color, I couldn’t say no. Four recliners and two of them are power.
(my crappy iphone shots…P was on my hip and struggling to be let loose.)
I texted a picture to my friend Lynsey and she said “Are you throwing away every writing utensil in your house?”
She has a point..it is white. In any case I am not worried about the pens and markers. I am more concerned about the 5 cats that have 20 claws a piece and the dog, whose nails seem to get gnarly before I can control them. And I can’t keep ANY of them off the furniture.
Oh well.
I’ll be happy for a few years at least.

Its looks comfy- I love the white! I can’t wait until the day we move and I get to get new furniture- definitely white leather couch or sectional in the living room- Leather is nice because its easy to wipe- good choice.
It is gorgeous! My hubby’s grandfather just gave us white furniture, yeah not a good idea with two cats and two kids lol.
I love white furniture, and had it for many years when my girls were small. And you know what? It was fine!! I have a yucky brown couch now and I can’t wait to get white again!! If I had seen this I would have fought you for it right there in the showroom!!
I would like you to tell us more about the sticky claw product, too! We have 3 cats and they have done a number on some of our leather furniture, unfortunately! So tell us about this product and if it works. Love the new couch! Very pretty! Enjoy!
It looks awesome and so comfortable
We got a leather sectional a few years ago, were debating between white and brown, got the brown in the end. And for Christmas we got a 3 month old kitten which surprisingly didn’t damage it at all. He on the other hand did a nice number on my dining room chairs which are microfiber
Hopefully leather will last longer and in my opinion it’s so much easier to take care of than any material.
Yes. Yes you are. Enjoy the couch though! Looks super comfy.
I’d actually be most frightened for myself on that white couch. How can you possibly eat Cheetohs without making a mess?!??
It’s quite lovely. The leather will hopefully clean up better than fabric.
Good luck, your going to need it…lol.
White would so not last in my house but OMG I love it so much. Looks very classy Trisha! Good choice!
I have a tan microfiber couch. It has a lot of pin marks, but oddly no cat scratches.
I like it even if it is white. LOL. We have two dogs and two brown leather couches and their nails do a number on it but what can you do? That is part of the deal when you get a pet or two. Hope you and the family enjoy the new sofa. It looks really really nice.
I want to come take pictures the DAY it is delivered…. and then 6 months later LOL
I think you mean a few months. That thing is gonna look like a roll of toilet paper left to the cats. I refuse to buy anything white until these kids move out.
Took the cats a few yrs to ruin the last one…I thnk 3 (same brand actually). They seem to get the bottom set of the couch. I’m going to get some claw sticky on this one to hopefully prevent it. And no way waiting 18 yrs to have nice things for the kids to move. Charlottes respectful and P will learn to be. I’ll be like 55 when he goes to college.
What’s claw sticky?
I don’t mind waiting, I’ll be 44 when I’m finally free.
I love the style and the bigness of this couch! I could never ever ever in a million years have white though, it would instantly be dirty from the dust in the air on our back road, lol! I am dying to get a new couch, our set is over 12 years old now since we bought it when I pregnant with my daughter!
It’s very pretty.
We’ve had two sectionals. I love the way they look, although it makes it hard to rearrange furniture.
I don’t think you’re crazy. Maybe brave or a glutton for punishment, but not crazy…
Me on the other hand…I wouldn’t even go there.
That is a gorgeous sofa!
I love white! Most of my home decor is white -fits totally in w/ my Shabby Chic, French Country style
hahahahhaaha I bought a set of cream colored leather sofas a few years ago…I was madly in love with them for a year, then I had to buy new ones. And we only had two cats and one dog then.
It’s gorgeous!
It’s a beautiful couch! And, FOUR recliners, that’s AWESOME! I don’t think I would have purchase a white couch – even at 50% off – but that’s mostly because I don’t like white furniture. I say if you can pull it off, GO FOR IT!
Normally I would go for khaki furniture…but all my new stuff is the white Paula Deen (they call it linen) and honestly the darker couches look too masculine for my house. Its been SO HARD to find something. I think I got the only white couch in the city.
Ours is a khaki-beige microfiber with chocolate brown leather ends. It sounds weird, but I like it. I am ready for new stuff, but I am saving for a road trip before I buy new couches.
Sara, we probably have the same sofa. LOL Mine is a sectional and we paid extra to get that stain protection stuff sprayed on it. I take all of the cases off once a month and throw them in the washer!
We paid extra for stain protection, but I still have stains!!!
I can’t take the cases off mine, though.
Did they give you a special cleaner for it? When we did the stain protection spray, they gave us a certain cleaner to use on it when it got dirty. It’s been 4 years and if pen gets on it, I can still use the stuff to clean it up!
Nope, no special cleaner. They are … almost 10 years old.
Ive had two microfiber couches and they both got stains…and when you wipe them they seemed to get water stains. I switched to leather but the cats like to poke holes in it. I cant really win.
When we bought our current couches I made sure to avoid microfiber- it was everywhere. I hate that fabric- every little thing shows even after you wipe it down.
oh man! I can’t imagine a white couch in my house. I went into a house (that didn’t have kids) and they had a white couch and I just looked at it and all I could think of was “I better not come over here in my dark wash denim…what if it left a dark blue butt print on the couch” (you know how they always have those tags that say wash before wearing, yet they always bleed everytime you wash them so I would imagine it would still rub off)
leather!
