I got a 4!

I really wanted a zero, since I just painted my place lots of different colors, and had been spending endless amounts of time comparing very similar shades.

But I guess 4 is respectable! : )

Madampince, if you do not want to keep glass shower door tracks clean, go frameless! I installed a frameless glass panel and door on my tub/ shower when I renovated last year, and everyone comments on how high-end it looks. I also invested in marble, floor to ceiling throughout, so it has a marble vault look. Definitely has a hotel vibe, and I feel so happy every time I go in there.

Mdeathstar, I also decided to go with the Carter. It is beautiful. Originally, I really liked the Ink color, but the dark grey in that has dark blue undertones (hence the name "ink") and navy is not really a favorite decorating color. So I decided on the Storm color, which is grey with green undertones. Which color are you getting?

mdeathstar, thanks for all of your suggestions, and thanks to everyone else too. I went to Gus Modern and tried out the Carter sectional today. I loved the lines and the comfort, but was not in love with the color choices. Most of the darker colors were in the grey rather than the brown family.

I also went to Bobby Berk Home, but the store was tiny, and they did not have the sectional there. The store was mostly linens, with a couple pieces of furniture. Definitely not worth trying to find it on tiny Crosby street.

So my search continues! : )

I do like some of the others mdeathstar suggested, but they are only at online retailers. I really need to try out a sofa before buying it.

I will try to address some of the questions/ comments. Laflat.com has terrible reviews all over the internet. Just google "laflat.com reviews" and you will see why I do not want to order from them.

The store in the Village only had the sofa in white, and would need to order the brown or black one from At Home USA, the sole distributor of the sofa . I called At Home USA to find out who manufactures the sofa and whether they had it in stock in black or brown. They were very rude, and would not tell me who manufactures the piece. I asked if it was made in China, and they would not answer (which means "yes"). I am OK with it being made in China, but why not just admit it? They do not have it in stock in black or brown, and expect more shipments in "around 6 weeks". Based on the delivery reviews from laflat.com, who knows if 6 weeks is even accurate. Overall, I got an overall shady impression of At Home USA, and I think that they would be less than accommodating if there was a problem with the product.
