5/5 | Stylish & Effortless
It's been a few months, and it's safe to say I am very pleased with my decision. I was going back and forth between the Dune and Leonard, knowing that I wanted something slipcovered, but ultimately, the silhouette of the Leonard was more in line with my style. It's always a bit scary ordering furniture online, but this piece really has exceeded my expectations. Plus, if you're looking for the perfect neutral shade, the Alder Belgian Linen has worked well in my living room, seamlessly pairing with my existing pieces.

5/5 | Perfect
Bought a pair of these sofas (over waaay more expensive options pitched by my designer) for our home upstate, Belgian farmhouse look. They've become my favorite spots in the house. Comfortable - I like the deep seat and I move the pillows to make it even deeper - and so easy chic with the slipcover. Super easy to clean up. Love!

5/5 | So Happy with the Leonard Sofa
I searched many, many websites looking for a good quality, stylish linen slipcovered sofa . I wanted a sofa with a lower overall height profile , a bench seat, deeper than the sofa we had but not too deep for our small family room, a seat higher than 16 inches , a well made sofa made in The United States, , a sofa that did not cost over $5,000, a sofa that would not take 9 months to get , a sofa with a modern feel , a slip cover I could easily clean . The Leonard had it all! I had no choice but to buy it!
The performance linen dew 85 inch sofa met all my expectations. The sofa arrived about 3.5 months after I placed the order, I was very pleased with what I found to be a fast turnaround in these pandemic times. The Maiden home team members sent out swatches quickly, responded quickly to the questions I sent them, gave me a delivery window and the delivery company actually was able to deliver a week earlier if I wanted, yes please. I had to wait a little longer to get the dew shade of linen rather than the standard clamshell, it was worth the wait. The dew is the classic looking natural shade of linen, off white with a little grey, a little beige woven in it. The clamshell linen swatch was gorgeous, but a bit too brown for my interiors, but perfect for the modern house with white and beige walls.
I was very slightly worried when the sofa arrived in her factory fresh splendor as she was very stiff and buttoned up looking, too neat. My apprehension turned to pure joy as the linen pillows and the slipcover loosened up a bit and became more relaxed and characteristic of the beauty of linen slipcovered furniture. My husband and I are older and it was getting harder to get up from our previous sofa that had a seat 16 inches high. The Leonard seat is much higher at 19 inches, although it slopes down to 16 inches at the front of the seat to the floor when one is sitting on it . That sounds like a big slope but it is not when you see it in person, and it is really comfortable to sit on. The bench seat is so supportive and firm, more like sitting on a spring coil mattress than a squishy sofa. That might not be appealing to some buyers, but we find it to be perfect. For a nap on this sofa, you may as well be on a bed .
So happy we chose the Leonard sofa. She is stylish and beautiful, does not take up a lot of space, the arms are slim so you get more actual seat length out of her . The back cushions she comes with are comfortable, really no need for any more than 2 or 3 accessory decorative pillows on her. We really, really love the Leonard sofa. I almost forgot, any dirt or spills on her come off easily with a little spot cleaning with a water dampened towel. With a dog coming in from the muddy spring yard and jumping on her immediately, we certainly had to do that many times already.

5/5 | Beautiful Slipcover
wanted the convenience of a slipcover but a non clunky/messy style - this is exactly that. The curvature of the arms is exquisite and the construction is solid and high quality. Delivery showed up at end of the window but worked quickly. Overall i'm impressed and would order again.

5/5 | Showstopper of a Sofa - genuinely would recommend these folks
I've been burned by the furnishings industry time and again over the past year as we've tried to furnish our new home. We originally ordered a very expensive sofa from Roche Bobois which not only was extremely delayed but was very disappointing on arrival. After a big fight and a lot of money lost, we were able to return the piece and our neighbor put us on to Maiden Home. I was so skeptical buying online but the process from design to delivery has been a pleasure. The Leonard itself and the stonewashed performance linen is exquisite and has a level of craftsmanship and fabric quality that our 10k french sofa truly lacked. You guys are really onto something and having spent a year searching through the furniture market -- high quality and high taste is impossible to find under 10k. Keep up the great work!

5/5 | Love My Leonard!
This was a big investment without seeing the sofa person first, but I could not be happier with my Leonard! The beautiful shape of this sofa (those arms!) really sets it apart from the others I looked at during my search, and the quality is just amazing. I'm confident that I'll have this sofa for many years and moves to come. It's still very new so thankfully we haven't had any spills yet, but knowing that the slipcover can be washed as well as potentially swapped out down the line is very reassuring. The Stonewashed Linen has seriously elevated our space—it's super chic but also perfectly soft for lounging. The combination of the generous seat depth and ultra plush cushions is a dream. Especially after the turbulence of the last year and a half, supporting American craftsmen was a huge plus for me. I've recommended Maiden Home to all of my friends, and can't wait to add to my own collection!

5/5 | Clamshell 100inches
I never fully trust reviews on any company’s own website so I left a review on houzz too. This sofa is a perfect fit for our ski cabin - the design team suggested for our space and we absolutely love it - perfect blend of comfort, not stuffy while still being chic. Quality of construction is top notch to my eye untrained eye and bum. Highly highly recommend. See years of curling up in front of the fire after a long ski day on this sofa!

5/5 | Beautifully made
Ordered this for a client and was taken back as it was our first time sourcing from Maiden Home. Customer service was great as we were updated on the status of the custom sofa. The color was in line with the swatch we had ordered before and the build quality was great. I would source from Maiden Home again!

2/5 | Disappointing Slipcover
I ordered two Leonard Slipcovered Sofas in Performance Linen Oyster. Upon delivery, the skirts on both sofas did not have the "beautiful drape" as advertised. Instead, the covers tightly hug the base of both sofas. After reaching out to customer service, we were told that the slipcover was "too tight due to how the piece was packaged and arrived." We were told to give it time to let the slipcover settle, as well as adjust and steam the covers. Hours of steaming and three months later, the slipcovers have not budged. Customer service has now "determined the slipcover is fitting within our expectations." I have been very pleased with the comfort and functionality of the sofas, but hugely disappointed in the false advertising for the slipcover and unwillingness of customer service to do anything about it.

1/5 | So Uncomfortable
I bought these couches back in 2021. Had I been able to sit in them first, I never would have bought them. They are by far the most uncomfortable couches I've ever sat in. They are ridiculously firm. Initially I thought they must surely soften up over time. Nope. Both couches are so firm, that there is a pronounced raise, like an elephant hump, in the middle of the couches where nobody sits, which simply won't go away. So you can't even lie on them as they aren't flat. On the plus side, they look great and are clearly well constructed. If you like to get comfy and watch TV or read at night, I wouldn't get these. My fiancee and I last 10 minutes each night before we just lie on the floor or move to the bedroom instead. I've been putting off writing this review for years, as I don't like to be negative, but tonight after yet another discussion on how to watch TV comfortably, I finally cracked!

1/5 | Don’t waste your money
I was so excited for this sofa when we purchased it in the fall of 2023. The pictures online were stunning and most reviews were great. When we received our sofa in late October, it was gorgeous. Sadly within a couple of days I realized how impractical the slip cover is. It NEVER stays in place. We have to readjust it at the end of every single day. With kids, I thought a slipcover was the perfect thing for us…but the overall design is just horrible and causes more work for us. I must also mention how uncomfortable the sofa is. The description mentions the sofa has a supportive but “luxurious comfort”… I find that to be completely misleading. The sofa is hard as a rock. There is absolutely no comfort to it, and not something you can sink into to watch a movie. Lastly, after about 6 weeks of use, the linen began to pill and stretch. This has made the couch look much older and more worn than it actually is. We have now had the sofa for about 3 months and I am so upset we wasted nearly $5,000. We saved our money over the last year to purchase a very nice sofa, and I’m so disappointed in what we got. I reached out to customer service back in December, but have yet to hear anything back. In the end, I would say spend your money elsewhere. Especially if this is a sofa you plan to spend a lot of time on.

1/5 | Terrible Experience & Couch
After having a very successful experience with Maiden Home with our first couch, we decided to order the Leonard for our living room. We ordered the performance linen and do not have one positive thing to say about this couch. We rarely use this couch and it looks like it has been in our house for years. The slip cover has way too much fabric for the frame of the couch which contributes to a very messy and wrinkled look even when no one is sitting on the couch. The seams do not align to the back of the couch or the arms. Many of our friends and family have commented on how cheap it looks. I have tried to make this couch work, as the return policy has expired. I have tried to work many times with customer service and have had a terrible experience. I have shared photos, feedback and have tried every suggestion they have made to no luck. Mostly recently customer service offered to send someone to my home to look at the couch but when I tried to schedule time, no one responded. I am very disappointed as I love the look and feel of my first couch and am impressed with design of the new items that have recently been added. Unfortunately due to this experience, Maiden Home has lost a customer for life. Please do your research before purchasing this couch.
