I've just purchased a Home Reserve Sofa for my new Townhome, and let me just tell you that for $426 (which includes a $57 shipping charge via UPS)-- I have made the best buy-- whether in person or online that I have ever made in my life!

I've researched and looked at hundreds of sofas online and in person. As a single parent, and purchasing my first home-- I just don't have a couple of thousand of dollars to purchase the sofas I want from Crate and Barrel, Room and Board, Pottery Barn or other stores-- and for four month-- I've had no sofa in my living room due to the insanely high costs of these sofas. So when looking at HGTV one evening-- they had used HR furniture which included much needed storage-- and I looked up their website, viewed the various options, read the comments, and ordered fabric samples.

They have a new "contemporary" version called, "Brooklyn", which is what I ordered. They told me it would be 10 business days to receive it, but it took less than a week for me, as I'm located much closer to their headquarters.

The sofa came in two boxes via UPS which fit easily through my front door, and only took me and my teenage daughter 2 hours to put together, and that was because we took a break to eat. Needless to say-- I am totally amazed at the quality and look of the sofa!! It is GORGEOUS and more comfortable than I'd imagined!! The sofa is not "cheesy" in any form of the definition-- the fabric is "top grade", and the storage is most welcome as I now have somewhere to put my videos and CD's without them being piled up next to the TV and stand.

If I tire of the fabric-- I can order a new fabric without having to purchase an entire new sofa. If I wish to somehow change the look of the sofa-- I can order new arms, etc., instead of ordering an entire new sofa. Their Customer Service is unparalled!!

Friends and family cannot believe that this sofa came in two boxes and was put together in 2 hours, and they cannot believe the quality which is definitely much cheaper and better than Ikea!!

Sure, I would have rather had the Room and Board $3500 sofa-- but I just can't afford it. Home Reserve offers good quality furniture at a great value.
