The Sullivan

The sofa is beautiful and overall comfortable. The only problem is the frame of the sofa is not padded at all. My kids and many adults have bumped their head hard on the back of the sofa as it is basically wood covered with fabric. No padding at all to be found. I understand the design of it calls for this sleek structure but I’ve seen many other sofas achieve this look while having some form of padding.

I’ve waited a full year to write this review since so much about what makes or breaks furniture is about how it lives in your home. After a full year of wear and tear, I can say I’m still in love with this sofa. I have the 90 inch in bourbon leather. This sofa is in the main gathering room in our house so it gets lots of use from the full family which includes 3 elementary age kids and a 15lbs dog. It’s held up beautifully with minimal maintenance. I was a bit concerned that the bench seat would show wear patterns or breakdown unevenly over time since one end of the couch gets more use than the other. The more used end is ever so slightly softer but I’ve rotated the interior cushion once and now they are evened out. Overall, the bench seat is just slightly softer than when it arrived and was quite firm. It’s very comfortable and after a year if use, I would still consider it a firm feel. While the bench seat is firm and supportive, the back cushions balance it out with more of a sink-in type feeling. It’s the perfect combination for me. Finally, the leather itself is AMAZING. We have a potter barn sofa and the difference in the quality of leather is very noticeable. Maiden home feels much more natural and has held up better. With three kids and a small dog, superficial scratches are to be expected, but they fade quickly and blend in to add character. If I can add photos to this review, I’ll include a few so you can decide for yourself if it’s a look that works for you. Overall, I highly recommend Maiden Home. The process was seamless from beginning through delivery and the quality can’t be beat.

Writing about my Sullivan Chaise Lounge Sectional in Charcoal Performance Tweed, which I received in mid-December 2021. And sharing my experience, as I relied on all of these reviews to make my decision to purchase from Maiden Home, and then this specific piece. Leaving a more detailed review at Houzz thread on Maiden Home couches. About the sectional: I love it. The seats are on the firmer side, but I expect they will continue to soften some (I really like the firmness now). The back cushions are down feathered filled and super sink-in comfortable. This size (106 in + 63in + 35 in) is large, but perfect for hosting the family (kids r 10 and 13). The fabric – I mulled this over and researched the heck out of it. It is not scratchy at all, on the soft size. I did the pour-test like everyone else (liquids bead up easily – easy to clean). I have two (clawed) active cats. I’m still working on some behavior modification (spray bottle), but when they have clawed it – so far they have not left a mark. My experience with Maiden Home was great – one of the best I’ve had with a company. There were many email and text exchanges, and they at one point really surprised with unexpected extension of a courtesy regarding the price (in short, I had bought this 8 months earlier, sought refund because of constant delays, then returned to buy again - then realized they had made a significant price increase on all pieces). Although Maiden Home is on the higher end of my price point, I am motivated to save and buy from them again because their style is awesome, pieces are of great quality (so far), customer service is awesome, and love they are made here in NC (where I live).

I spent so much time looking for the perfect couch: one with a neutral color, classic but updated design, Krypton fabric, hardwood kiln dried frame, hand-tied springs, American made, very specific dimensions, and delivery within 3 months. It seemed like that was only possible by paying $10,000+ to an interior designer until I found MaidenHome. It’s now been six months since my Sullivan sofa arrived (in Harbor performance chenille) and I’m still so happy with it. There has been some very slight pilling from the fabric, but I think that’s to be expected since it gets used daily. What I love most is the durability from stains and spills. With 2 dogs and 2 small children, the couch has truly been lived in every day. It has endured spilled coffee, mud, food stains, black pet hair, scratchy dog nails, spilled baby bottles, and much more, and EVERYTHING has come out completely with a small solution of water and laundry detergent. The cushions have retained their shape well. The customer service has been amazing (they custom made arm covers for me to help protect the arms a bit more). Rarely would I ever think I’d rate a couch a 10/10 in quality but that is my honest review.

So comfy.....high quality. Dogs love it too...😋
I was nervous buying online but a friend had previously purchased from Maiden Home and had nothing but good things to say. The order came when expected, and the color was exactly as the swatch that had been previously sent to me. It also looks beautiful - a classic that will always be in style.
