We Saw, We Sat, We Reviewed: The Most Comfortable Sofas
</p>
<p>
There’s something interesting happening in the furniture world: a plentiful crop
of online-only, direct-to-consumer retailers are popping up everywhere, offering
incredibly good looking (and often much more competitively priced) merchandise with
the caveat that you need to purchase sight unseen. With something as large of a
commitment as a <a href="http://www.leadkitfurniture.com/sofa/"
target="_self">sofa</a>, it might be easy to hesitate on taking the plunge, regardless
of the upsides (quick shipping, generous return policies, modern styling, budget
pricing). One of these companies (that you asked for enthusiastically in the comments
of our introductory Sofa Squad post earlier this year) is Article.
</p>
<p>
Formerly Bryght, Article is an online-only, direct-to-consumer company that offers
modern furniture for the living room, bedroom, dining room and beyond. They don’t
have any showrooms, traditional sales associates or other middle men, so they can pass
on the savings to the consumer. You’ll get a generous 30-day return policy, $49 flat
rate shipping to your door and the ability to order swatches as needed.

<p>
Article’s been in the direct-to-consumer furniture business since 2013 with the
goal of making high-quality pieces accessible to customers at affordable price points.
In fact, it’d be easy to outfit your entire home in the brand’s stylishly-designed
furniture and home decor options—from sofas to lounge chairs, full dining sets,
bedroom furnishings, and more. The only catch? Unlike traditional retailers, the
Canadian brand’s offerings are only available to shop online, meaning no showrooms or
storefronts to assess options in-person before you buy.

The Sven is the brand’s most popular <a
href="http://www.leadkitfurniture.com/sofa/leather-sofa/" target="_self">leather
sofa</a>—and it’s no surprise why. The classic silhouette is available in a wide
range of colors and materials like fabric, leather, or velvet upholstery with or
without a chaise sectional. Since I’ve always loved the look of a really worn-in
leather couch (my Pinterest doesn’t lie!), I opted for the right side Sven sectional
upholstered in navy blue leather.

What is the lead time for customization, manufacturing, and delivery?
</p>
<p>
<br/>
</p>
<p>
Coordinating furniture delivery can be a hassle but Article takes as much of the
guesswork out of the process as possible by using your zip code to estimate delivery
date ranges for all its inventory. As a general rule of thumb, most in-stock orders
are available to be shipped to your home in two weeks or less.

Before my Article <a href="http://www.leadkitfurniture.com/sofa/fabric-sofa/"
target="_self">fabric sofa</a> arrived, I was contacted by the team via email to
schedule a delivery date and time window. On the actual delivery day, the Article team
called 30 minutes in advance of their arrival time to alert me they were on their way.
In the interests of staying COVID-safe, I had the leather sofa delivered to my
doorstep using contactless delivery, which Article offers for a flat rate of $49 on
orders below $999 and comes free with orders over $999. If you live alone or you’re
worried about carrying heavy weights, for $99, the brand offers in-room delivery to
have your boxes brought to whatever room you’d like. In-room delivery and assembly is
also available for $169, in which case the delivery team will bring the Article
furniture into your home and assemble it on the spot.
