Rowan and Wren sofas - any experience?

Our ancient IKEA sofa is no longer useable, and we want a proper squashy sofa. Low arms, deep, pretty classic. Linen. Hopefully, will last forever and fit well in our current, period house, and equally well in the next house, which I hope will be more modern. The Rowan and Wren Remy 3 seater looks the ticket - but they don't have showrooms, so you order online and hope it's right. They have - according to their website - an easy returns policy.

So...has anyone got any experience of R&W?

I have an armchair from there, a wingback one. It’s years old but they still do the same style. It’s good quality and has lasted. It’s not especially comfy. But that could be the style and may not apply to their sofas of course.

I’ve just ordered an Evelyn sofa from Darlings of Chelsea, which is very comfortable and might be the right style for you? They do have showrooms.

Thank you, I will look at Darlings. There's also Declor - I'd rather buy after plonking down on one, but the Remy did seem to tick all boxes. Do you know what model your less-than-comfy armchair is?

First post so not sure what I’m doing or where this will appear so sorry if in wrong place. I am currently having a kitchen fitted and have a bit of a dilemma. On one wall, I have the tall oven units and the fitter has put the wall units so the tops are level, which I understand. These wall units are above reduced depth base unit, so fairly easy for me to reach bottom and middle shelves (I’m just over 5 foot). However, the other two walls will have a 600mm worktop and an 800 worktop (cut down breakfast bar) as I wanted extra work space. Obviously the 800 makes wall units v difficult for me but decided to have a couple as wanted the storage and will store things we don’t use much in them (can use step). Units above 600 will be used often. So my dilemma is, do I get builder to place wall units lower on these two walls. I know it’s my kitchen, so I can do what I like but would be interested to know if anyone else has placed wall units with different gaps between them and worktop in their kitchen and how it looks. It’s hard for me to imagine it before it’s done . I could ask him to lower the two beside the oven housing but would that look more odd??? Fitter is back on Monday to finish. Any experience of this please? Can’t decide what to do?

@shem26 , you should consider creating a new thread, with a catchy title, for your question rather than replying in here. Currently your post is buried in this conversation about sofas. 🤗

Thanks. Not sure what I’m doing but have moved now 😊
