Catwalk U-Shaped Bumper Sectional

I ordered two catwalk sofas a few years ago. I purchased them because I'm tired of crappy couches that lose their shape and don't really fit in the room. But I worried about how they might hold up. I'd never spent that much money on a piece of furniture before. I'm here to tell you that they still look AWESOME. They are in my main living room. I have three kids, two grandkids, and my kids all have dogs. I live on a lake and I have all the parties all summer long. What I'm trying to say is that these couches get ABUSED. They are slept upon, we eat dinner on them sometimes, the babies play on them, they endure sandy feet and wet swimsuits regularly, teenagers flop on them...you get the picture. I can say without a doubt that these sofas are AMAZING. The fabric cleans up beautifully with hardly any effort and the cushions have stayed as firm and new as the day they arrived. They are so comfortable. Because they are custom made, they are the perfect sizes for my weird long narrow living room, without looking weird and long. I can't say enough good stuff about my BenchMade modern couches. These are absurdly beautiful couches. You should buy them. I'm crazy glad I did.

I’m in Sofa Ecstasy!

For well over 2 years we had been trying to replace our 35 year old leather (ugh) sofa and loveseat. The pandemic made it impossible to in-store shop anyway. But before any purchase we had lots of criteria..1 being the layout of our rooms in our 1300 sq ft house. I am a firm believer that tiny furniture in a small house just makes it look even smaller. Our high ceilings and open floor plan have always made it not claustrophobic.

We wanted VERY modern,clean lines,no more than 40" depth,low sides,black metal legs,plush cushions,no buttons or seams,a (catwalk) frame for Kimball the kitty and soft, comfortable, dark charcoal grey fabric with no itchy wool and no scratchy factor.An impossible task? After 2 years of searching online and literally hundreds of fabric swatches..

BINGO!!!!!! The Catwalk in Shepard Flint was *IT*! Room size restraints eliminated a sofa with a loveseats so we thought outside our "box" and decided on a 125" sectional with 80" bumper. That was it. Done. Finis. We placed the order knowing, that as seniors, this would be our last sofa purchase so we wanted to get it right..and with the WOW! factor!

As time went on we have to admit to some panic attacks: We just spent $$$$ on a sofa sight unseen in person and sight un-sit in person. Rarely does anything look exactly like it appears on a computer screen. Even with the 100-day return I just couldn't imagine going through that and looking again. (Customer service was awesome throughout…

Buying furniture online is usually a terrible experience. BenchMade changed that for us. We ordered fabric samples; they came within a few days. We emailed customer service for photos of our fabric selection on their furniture pieces; they emailed us back the same day with several photos. We ordered the couch; it was delivered in 3-4 weeks, as promised. We accidentally ordered the wrong size; no problem, they said, we’ll fix it for a small cost and deliver within 2 weeks (wow!). This company is top notch. Our couch is beautiful, and you won’t find better customer service.

I specifically went with the Catwalk Sofa with Chaise because it was one of the firmer options, and I really appreciate the cushions maintaining their shape relatively well for the past six weeks or so. I also just generally don't like sinking into a sofa, and the Catwalk gives support in that regard as well. The lines of it also look really nice next to the bar cart and C-table besides which it sits!

Went with the Wynwood Lagoon fabric to breathe a bit of color into my "white box" looking condo and I'm glad I did, it's lovely to look at.
